Do it! Do it! Do it! 👏🏻

It's sad that everyone remembers, "One giant leap for mankind" and not, "Give me a napkin quick. There's a turd floating through the air."

I feel there's a gap in the kidlit market for space comedy 🤔

Sound up for the surf and springtime birdsong 😊

ha! 😆

Much to the annoyance of my family, I'm one of those people who would say something to my server if I was given that. If not a complaint, I would definitely question the huge amount of ice and the small serving. Soon my kids will refuse to go out with me at all! 😁

£6? 😲

There was a film of this and I never managed to get my hands on a copy. Always wanted to see it.

Poor critters will be foundered.

Illegal wars on two fronts now by any measure of what's legal.

If only Ireland could do the same instead of the snivelling servitude that'll take our politicians to the White House for St Patrick's day.

Shouldn't be racing in the USA after dropping Russia from the calendar over the invasion of Ukraine.

Watching Drive to Survive and did George Russell just say the first skin cream he and Carmen produced smelled like semen? This guy just has no clue how awkward and weird he comes across to an audience 😬 His not so subtle bullying of Kimi is horrible too. He's a very unlikeable man.

A little while ago, I wrote a story about the Thirteenth Doctor and vampires in 1920s London. Here it is again if anyone would like to read it: www.whofic.com/viewstory.ph...

I had a fully grown man get up in my face and say this when I was 16 - in my school uniform 🤮

Well of course he did. Why else would he be wondering if it wasn't out of a sense of disappointed expectation? I don't go around wondering why people don't hand me free cash or laugh at all my jokes because that would also be entitled and ridiculous.

Macro photo of a brown stink bug in face view on a leaf, guarding a tightly-clustered bunch of eggs that are shaped and colored exactly like a full tray of dark beer with foam on top.

Finally, the bug is back with a round of the Guinness.

Tackling a recipe from the Wagamama cookbook - 'Lightly stirfry your edamame beans and silken tofu before adding the kare lomen sauce...' looks forlornly round the local Supervalu shelves before deciding we'll just have spuds again for dinner. Notions. #Speirgorm

It gets more scary when your kids come home from school with tales of their friends' conspiracy theories they're being told are facts by parents e.g. covid was developed and released on purpose to control the world's population. When that didn't work, they started wars (Ukraine, Palestine) instead.

I really hope Williams recover that lost ground. Disappointed to see them so far behind.

THIS SUNDAY, The Sunday Times has brought back The Funday Times as part of their reading campaign and The Phoenix is involved! The Funday Times was a weekly comic supplement, all big and newspapery, an absolute joy to read and an instrumental part of a lot of our childhoods 🤩

So the Telegraph is taking this well

There’s an epidemic of men pushing women, and it needs to stop | Letters Letters: Readers respond to an article by Lucy Pasha-Robinson about being shoved in the street by an angry man

Reading this article and I'm reminded of the guy who drove his van down the wrong side of the street and rolled down his window to call me a cunt because I wouldn't mount the pavement in my car to let him through. Claimed there was plenty of room if I'd just move.

Put a lid clip on my wheelie bin - the collection guys ripped it off and threw it out. Contacted the company - was sent a screenshot from their website saying clips will be removed. It also says the bin lid must be closed. We live in the windiest spot in the country - you can have one or the other.

Chronic ocean heating fuels ‘staggering’ loss of marine life, study finds Fish levels fall by 7.2% with as little as 0.1C of warming per decade, northern hemisphere research shows

But let’s drill offshore some more.

Was chatting to someone about the rising cost of doing business here and how our price-gouging greed will soon put an end to foreign investment, film production, tourism etc. They argued it was a hangover from the famine and caused by inter-generational trauma and lads, I just can't 🤦🏻‍♀️

Irish Independent: Man stole three coffee machines in a week from Monaghan department store.

How does he sleep at night?

I salute your empathy! 🫡
