Local firework displays are in full swing and upsetting my cat. He hates fireworks - not because of the noise - he just can't stand the thought of people enjoying themselves.

A split 2 panel meme. The top panel shows actor Peter Ellis as a police officer in the movie An American Werewolf in London. The caption read: โ€œ1981: Fails to stop deadly foreign werewolf attack in central London, despite the werewolf attempting to surrender to him beforehandโ€

The bottom panel shows actor Peter Ellis as Chief Superintended Charles Brownlow in the TV series The Bill. The caption reads: โ€œ 1984: Promoted to Chief Superintendent at Sun Hill police station. Share if you think this is a disgraceโ€

Here is my dadโ€™s Sean Connery joke:

โ€œQ: What time does Sean Connery arrive at Wimbledon?

A: Sean Connery died on the 31st of October 2020 and is therefore unlikely to attend any future sporting eventsโ€.
