If you're getting them to take away, Fish and Chips should be salted and vinegared at home, otherwise they stick to the paper/box.

Non-Anon Opin.

Will say hello if I see you. We are near the back, think the Friends of the Festival grabbed all the good seats.

I left First Steps wishing it had been an hour longer.

Now That’s What I Call Foreshadowing

Clearly this attempt is pure floccinaucinihilipilification

Just listened to a bit of a version of Barwick Green by Bellowhead and they should be executed immediately

I was reminiscing about The Archers earlier. Is the Omnibus on at 10? AM, that is, of course.

This seems like exactly the kind of news that needs a sideways look to be taken of it

They shouldn't legally be allowed to provide that. Unless it contain more booze...

Got to be a contender for niche take of the evening.
Good to see that someone is taking a sideways look at #LiveAid while Rich was celebrating his birthday.

Just opened Apple Music and apparently Oasis have released a version of Slide Away from last weekend.

We need the Yungblud ‘Changes’ and Roman Morello/Jack Black ‘Mr. Crowley’ out as singles asap.

$200m at least was generated for charities this weekend, a good part by over 5m streams of it.

Hope you’ve managed to bring over “You look pissed, Ben”

Perhaps not this one, but the one we had genuinely played little tiny records. Paging @outonbluesix.bsky.social ...

We somehow had one of these in my house www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIUg...

Terrifying at the time, but if I had it now I'd be wondering how I could use it for some turntableism.

Not dangerous, just pointless. I imagine Mythbusters have done an episode on it.
I've never watched Mythbusters. My assumption is that the majority of 'myths' get 'busted'. Otherwise I imagine they'd call it 'Suprising Truth Provers' which doesn't trip across the tongue in quite the same way.

Is that what Bone Spurs actually means? This changes everything.

Come on Merlin, we all know this is the canonical version: youtu.be/3DeURx3mYck?...

"Burglar". Sure.

I've got a meeting at 4pm today so am just drafting my resignation

As I'm sure you already know, Altman is now looking at Apple rather than Microsoft in the head-turning guy meme.

I think what they meant to say was ‘TWO DEMOCRAT LAWMAKERS WERE KILLED BY A TRUMP SUPPORTER IN COLD BLOOD’ perhaps followed by ‘MILLIONS PROTEST WIDESPREAD ILLEGALITY AND OVERREACH OF TRUMP REGIME’

Fucking hell ‘The Guardian’, not much to ask.

Holy shit! Wish we still had a Ronnie Scotts in Birmingham. There's a really decent jazz scene but not quite the right home for something like that.

Problem is that's almost exactly what nearly happens at the end of Andor s2

Zach de la Rocha might want to update that 'some' to an 'all'

Hopefully you're intentionally misunderstanding my inference. In which case, by writing this, I've ruined it. Can't be helped though.

Touch Typing was designed for mindless transcription. Many people can now do the equivalent, as in 'not look at the keyboard', myself included.
I made about 25 mistakes typing this and looked at the keyboard four times. That's okay.

"He died at his home in Glenelg, Scotland, and was survived by his wife and eight children".

Not going there. Nope.

Of course this is exactly what Project 2025 wanted to happen. Get rid of unstable lunatic election winner, replace him with the tech bro they already own.
Next move: roll back all tariffs, call it a victory, then double down on everything else.
If Trump does go, there will be nothing to gloat about.

I wonder if Elon's got nukes?
How would we know?
Space Lasers?!?
