the Third.

Hm. I meant funny but I doubt I achieved that either.

But thank you for kindly giving me the benefit of the doubt.

Actually I feel a bit ashamed of that.

Outranked by Captain Church.

At the risk of pandering to English stereotypes (or, let’s be honest, insults) about Scotland…

Surely they would be C U gimigrents?

Are cuntry are langwidge.

They grew up.

I can’t Halloweven, as the kids used to say.

My mum and dad's local pheasant, which is real, but looks like the product of the gathering of a talented craft club

Another look at my mum and dad's local pheasant

I absolutely refuse to believe that the pheasant who regularly visits my mum and dad’s garden is real and has not in fact been crocheted.

Oh yeah.

NO! One or the other. That is the rule on social media (pancakes/waffles etc).

SM does make us all go a bit mental sometimes.

This means he also wants white people to live among black/brown people, not in groups?

But presumably only poor white people, in poor areas. He presumably doesn’t want that sort of integration in the Cotswolds, or Alderley Edge or similar.

Yeah, I don’t even know how to reply to that.

Why would they? Life is essentially meaningless.

What about Henry’s Cat?

That would be Rutland.

How so?

George Melly’s Navy memoir – Rum, Bum and Concertina.

When I saw this morning that Jilly Cooper had died after a fall, I instinctively thought “Amazing that she was riding horses at her age”, before realising it probably wasn’t that sort of fall.

But I think of her, and it’s only natural that horses come to mind.

They got the season right though.

We are different from all other humans in history Countless experiences that have become routine for us are unprecedented in the history of our species. Here's why that matters.

I wrote about all the lived experiences and strange structures of modern society — many of which we take for granted — that were literally impossible for all previous generations of Homo sapiens. www.forkingpaths.co/p/we-are-dif...

Salonica, “The Mother of Israel.” On a whim, after I had finished reading “Salonica: City of Ghosts — Christians, Muslims and Jews 1430–1950,” by Mark Mazower, I googled…

For three centuries Salonica, now Thessaloniki, had been known as the “Mother of Israel,” (“La Madre de Israel”). By the early 20th century, there were 35 Ladino (Judeo-Spanish) newspapers published in the city.

My review of “Salonica: City of Ghosts," by Mark Mazower:

After years of budget cuts, what were they thinking?

One can only assume that these were 19th-hole delusions that bore no relation to the real world.

And yes, I know it’s all bonkers.

So…what if the next but one leader after Badenough (in about 18 months time) rescinds that manifesto commitment before the manifesto’s been written?

Not sure how sensible it is to commit to that four years early.

This is where Mrs Coen should tell them if they can’t play with it together, neither of them gets it.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.
