It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single post in possession of up to 300 characters must be in want of a like.

Well now. A metaphor is a kind of analogy anyway - but this one isn’t a metaphor because I described something as being β€˜like’ something else, so more of a simile, I suppose. Which is also a type of analogy.

It is about forty years since I pulled this one but I confess it worked a treat, not sure Benylin is what it was back then though

Me too and I have listened through all sorts of tosh but I simply cannot believe this woman grew up in Ambridge and nobody has met her before…farms and farmers and farmers’ kids do not work this way, honestly I’ve had dreams that made more sense and my dreams are *barking*

The Esme thing is bonkers, itβ€˜s just bonkers, honestly listening to #TheArchers at the moment is like trying to finish a crossword in Portuguese with a jumbo crayon while drinking a Benylin and brandy cocktail through a straw and hitting oneself repeatedly on the head with a giant potato

I’ve given up trying to pick it apart, I just learn the most basic of phrases and attempt them at random for the entertainment of proper Welsh speakers

The linguist in me is absolutely rubbish unfortunately or you’d get a proper answer to that one but I *think* β€˜r is actually a contraction of yr which is ’the’ - so parti is β€˜party’ and parti’r is β€˜the party’

Parti'r Ysbrydion   Huw Chiswell
YouTube video by Aberhenfelen Parti'r Ysbrydion Huw Chiswell

For a proper happy Hallowe’en (Nos Galan Gaeaf hapus) what you need is Huw Chiswell singing Parti’r Ysbrydion (The Ghosts’ Party) on a video that looks as if it was recorded off someone’s nanna’s telly, through a window, in a heavy fog, in about 1982

Sign the Petition Make COVID vaccine universally available in the UK - free of charge.

In the UK, restricting free access to proven vaccines ignores the evidence and is a public health failure.
Please sign this petition to urge the UK government to overturn its shortsighted policy - and make the COVID-19 vaccine universally available, free of charge.

Many international stories make me pause and imagine how it must feel to have that happening outside *my* home. We are all where we live by an accident of birth. Those of us who got to be born in a safe part of the world really need to remember how lucky that is.

I don’t buy this β€œbut I wanted to make a witch costume for Rosie” whinge from Pip, there’s no way she could be arsed, get yourself down to Asda where they’re doing them for four quid, they look quite good actually, I’d wear one if they did them in my size #TheArchers

Well, it’s not all bad, I’d rather have Gil Scott Heron as an earworm than Carl Douglas singing Kung Fu Fighting which is what’s been lodged in my brain for the past three days

This one went round in my head non-stop for weeks after Trump got in last year and still pops back on an all-too-frequent basis

Spotted this little beauty on our morning walk, it's a ballerina waxcap and it's quite rare

I am turning into the sort of person who gets excited about fungi
