Edwin Flay

Presuming Ed’s in Brighton is the only place I’ve found that has Fritz Cola, and go there regularly for that reason.

That fucker got me too! Utterly infuriating.

The play’s superb as well. First staging had John Hurt and Leonard Rossiter!

We had three baby gulls (gullings? Gullets?) nesting on our roof last year. Little bastards used to tap on the window of our attic bedroom at 5am for weeks on end.

"Should the KKK be allowed to wear hoods? It depends whom you ask."

Something like 96% of all actors in the UK have second jobs now. People don't like to discuss it much, but it's endemic.

Someone on Twitter writes: "You think he gives a shit? His company (and net worth) went up in magnitudes of billions during his presentation yesterday. That's the last thing he cares about. :laughing emoji:

Any time I talk about a wealthy person's outfit, someone in the comments is quick to reply: "They're rich, you think they care?" No one has to care about my opinions or clothes, regardless of net worth.

But let's talk about the connection between wealth and aesthetics 🧵

If you have Netflix, Derry Girls may still be on there, and it’s bloody brilliant.

Ah. I have no idea!

There should be tonnes of clips of the NI Parliament on BBC iplayer.

It’ll be dull as dishwater for your students, but you’ll get a good spread of NI accents.

A black and green screen capture of an old video game shows a skeleton collapsed on a long stretch of desert road ahead of a wagon with two cow skeletons behind him. A title box above reads "Freelancer has died of exposure."

Destroying the enrichment facilities was not the objective. Puffing up Trump's ego and sense of puissance was, especially after last week's dismal parade.

As such, it *was* a spectacular success. The world is aghast; Trump feels important. Objective achieved.

The Cement Garden. I was only 17, all I knew was that Barry Norman had said it was very good! Was not really braced for all the, er, incest.

Conversation afterwards was... muted.

An American soldier would call in an airstrike.

How the hell has a party without any MPs prevented anyone from making the most of Brexit's opportunities?

"Now the lifeboats are all adrift, we can finally start making the most of the iceberg's opportunities."

Agreed, especially in shows with different directors working on different episodes; how is house style established, and communicated to guest stars/new regulars/day players?

Reviving the woolly mammoth isn’t just unethical. It’s impossible | Adam Rutherford At a time when US scientists are under attack from their own government, the illiteracy around these elephantine fantasies is dangerous, says geneticist Adam Rutherford

At some point; I won’t right now, as when she sits here, it’s usually as a prelude to biting me for no bloody reason.

New favourite place to sit. No tea for me, and no using the mouse, either…

A wordle in two is great, because you get a little smug rush of feeling proper clever and intuitive.

A wordle in two is also crap, because the game is over before it has properly begun.

Oh, Helly. Dylan missed out on seeing his son, just for you to lie? For shame! #lumon #inkierwetrust #severance

Ironically, today I woke up with a scene burning in my head for the first time in weeks and had to get it down before it evaporated!

Musk’s $100m to Farage will break our democracy Keir Starmer needs to fix Britain’s broken electoral laws now - if he doesn’t, we will all suffer the consequences

NEW 🚨 Britain's electoral laws are broken - but successive governments have done nothing
