Let's make sure we cross paths! Not that I'll recognise you without a cat on your shoulder... signal is pretty terrible isn't it? I'll DM you my number

Yeah!! We're arriving on Thursday - you a Settler then or working there?

Oh my God. I used to be friends with Matthew Glamorre (the party organiser). He stayed at my flat when he was doing the Brighton pride thing mentioned in the article. I had no idea. I'm genuinely shocked.

Also - a lot easier to each your pet with a bit of lemon when you say go on holiday... big cost savings.

Oooh Pro Tools working straight off on its first launch all year... I take it this means my house is going to burn down as compensation.

Presumably, but it did feel a bit OTT. Anyone carry one of those on an allotment has probably got a few Rambo inclinations.

I ordered it online and it arrived without a single age check... I was surprised (also, how does it stay so sharp if you use it as a trowel... what's that about?)

I bought my sister one of the trowel/knives & they are absolutely lethal, with a long, razor-sharp, scooped blade... I've had an allotment for 20 years and pretty blunt pair of secateurs will do absoltely fine.

Pocket the cash, hold the line, use Jack more actively in central midfield while Yalcouye comes online... Plus cross fingers and hope (God I'll really miss Carlos when he goes the lad's a delight to watch).

Would you say verite is an example of this approach and mentality?

I thought he was captain in waiting... His sorting out of the three player penalty struggle at Tottenham was a masterclass of calm authority.

Pretty much every morning there's a moment when I'm confused as to why my YouTube adverts are in French... And then I remember.

Also, the darts crowd have proved to be an accepting bunch and they don't like that.

Darts is one of the few sports that is gender neutral!!! Men play women at darts all the time. What are they protesting about? It makes no bloody difference...

I was working at a recording studio in New York in the 90s where Iggy Pop had got his hand stuck in a drink dispenser machine and we had to get the owners to come over and unlock it to free him

Earlier in the year I took my wife to see the house I grew up in for the first time - the Indian family who now lived their spotted us peering over the hedge, and invited us in for a tour, a cuppa and a chat...

Nick Cave loves a bus (& a train) - there were multiple sightings of the goth lord with his all day saver in his Brighton days.

β€œSo The Sims 3 might have the greatest patch notes ever:


bonewagon:
β€’ Kleptomaniac Sims can no longer steal Subway stations from lots.
β€’ Sims can no longer WooHoo in the Elevator with a Sim who is on a different floor.
β€’ The Grim Reaper will no longer be prevented from reaping souls due to band affiliation.
β€’ Fixed a tuning issue so that Sims now vomit at acceptable levels.
β€’ It is no longer possible to Try for Baby' with the Grim Reaper.
β€’ "Become Enemies with Child" wish no longer appears.
β€’ Sims who are on fire will no longer be forced to attend graduation before they can put themselves out.
β€’ Pregnant sims can no longer brawl.
β€’ Baby Sims will no longer become stuck on a Sim's hand while driving a car.
β€’ Sims will no longer receive a wish to "Skinny Dip" with Mummies.
β€’ A meteor can hit a building, which case everyone will run out before the collision. Those who do not exit the building will die.
Sims automatically leave if a meteor is approaching, unless it is a school, in which children are not allowed to leave and will always die.
I can't stop laughing holy shit

1977: why would the bartender in star wars even care if some robots with artificial intelligence came into his bar

Or maybe split coverage which might wind down the BBC's smug defacto acquisition of a cultural phenomenon they played no part in developing for something like 30 years....

I've got some tinned Millennium spaghetti hoops (with little pasta domes) at home... I'm going to bequeath then to the kids.

Every single bit of Squid Game tie in marketing I've seen has boiled down to 'Hahahaha we LOVE the Torment Nexus, it's so quirky!'

A good friend of ours is a buyer for high fashion brands so for years we've got absurdly expensive pressies from her that are leftovers etc. it's taught us that the rich are paying Β£150 for a candle that is just a bit nicer candle than a Β£5 one.
