urgently need you guys to know that this French politician below 1) didn't know he'd been appointed as a minister until he saw it on TV 2) reacted by going: "bah pfff voilΓ "

There is, however, one Boris Johnson book that was written WITHOUT using Metal Mickey. And goodness me, what a fine gift it would make for anyone. Available at all good - and shit - booksellers.

The soundtrack to Val Kilmer's The Saint movie. Am absolutely brilliant collection of 90s music.

Reminds of the Alexi Sayle quote

"Austerity is the idea that the global financial crash of 2008 was caused by there being too many libraries in Wolverhampton."

"We got back together because we believe that a band can reform and offer something new both artistically and musically. This one's called House Of Dead Menories."

Right then, one of the biggest holes in my music collection is reggae. I have a few of the obvious ones but looking to broaden my horizons. Post your recommendations below πŸ‘‡. I’m particularly keen on the heavier dub side of things

The book Prime Minister, You Wanted To See Me?: A History of Week Ending by Ian Greaves and Justin Lewis.  It's A4 and 670 pages so quite a chunk.

This just got forced through the door and turned out to be *way* bigger than expected.

Just tried to go to a cafe, the doors were open so we went in. They said, Sorry, we don’t open until 10, can you wait outside please? I checked the time, it was 9.59.

That level of unwelcoming pettiness is not a place I want to spend any time.

Refused entry to a cake cafe because they were closing in 20 minutes. We wanted a bun and a drink not beef Wellington with all the trimmings.
