I thought I was going to miss #totp due to a work night out, turns out I'm missing it because I'm in bed flipping between absolutely freezing and utterly roasting πŸ€’

There's nothing stopping manufacturers making retro looking cars with modern safety and efficiency standards, but a very good reason why they don't.

Man down! I've been hit, repeat, I've been hit. Approx 4pm today a school fayre sent me to #Whamhalla.

I had a good run. No more #Whamageddon for me this year. Now to play #ReverseWhamageddon πŸŽ„

Good luck to everyone still in the game!

The moon IS made of cheese.

BBC One had a documentary about it a few Christmasses ago. A bloke and his dog went there in a rocket he built in his shed. DO YOUR RESEARCH, SHEEP!

When does a "dog whistle" turn into a full-blown 140 decibel klaxon?

They're feeling emboldened to say overtly racist stuff which would have seen them hounded out of politics a few years back. Now: crickets.

BBC criticised for plan to cover some World Cup 2026 games remotely To cut costs at event being hosted across US, Canada and Mexico, smaller games may be covered from Salford base

They literally can't win. Send a full complement of staff and you'd have the Daily Fail whinging about taxpayer-funded jollies for "thousands of staff".

Even back in the 70s and 80s, Murray Walker used to commentate from London on selected F1 races. No big deal.

My #SpotifyWrapped opened with @petshopboys.co.uk singing "so I look back upon my life, forever with a sense of shame".

Seems appropriate.... πŸ€”

"Now"?!

Seriously?

Some of us have been saying this for literally years.

Even if he didn't make those decisions himself, he was following illegal and immoral orders to commit murder. I have very limited sympathy.

2023: absolute casserole, out on the 1st.
2024: survived until the 17th.
2025: bring it on!

It's #Whamageddon time once more!

Also, I'm trying to avoid Mariah Carey. But that's because I absolutely hate that song... πŸ˜‹

I've said before, it was a brave and worthy move to start a genuinely left wing party. But it's just embarrassing now, and it's painful to watch.

So if it cost $50 before, and you reduce the price by 400%, how much does it cost now?

It's almost as if he's a complete moron...

If Trump & Hegseth maintain these killings are legal*, then logically they'd have no issue with other countries killing US citizens even if there's no evidence of a criminal act? Surely?

*which they're not

It was a worthy goal, founding a genuine left wing party, but it's just embarrassing now.

We're in Popular People's Front of Judea territory.

Terrible bit of marketing by Qatar Airways to stick #SkyF1 Craig Slater in an economy seat that looks like it's next to the lavvy. Makes their premium product look deeply unappealing. #F1 #QatarGP

Anyone want to predict how many times the Fast Show "nice" gif or picture is posted in the comments?

I'm guessing 12 in the first hour alone.

Grosjean's Insane Fireball Crash | Formula 1: Drive To Survive S3 | Netflix
YouTube video by Still Watching Netflix Grosjean's Insane Fireball Crash | Formula 1: Drive To Survive S3 | Netflix

youtu.be/7YMjw2sjXqU?... Five years since the day that #F1 dodged a bullet. Even knowing that Grosjean walked away, it's still upsetting to watch. The sport has made such incredible advances in safety but this is a sobering reminder of the very real risks. Strong language in the clip, unsurprisingly

The asylum seeker (not "illegal immigrant") who needed a 200 mile taxi journey had been relocated against his will but was required to attend a hospital appointment. The government refused to allow him to take public transport.

It's 100% a government failure, but easier to scapegoat the innocent

I sincerely hope that Special Operations commander finds himself on the wrong end of murder trial and realising that the "only obeying orders" defence doesn't wash.

But more than that, I hope Hesgeth and Trump rot in hell for their illegal and sick orders.
