I didn't know until today about the British royalty who were stripped of their titles and honours after the First World War for siding with the Germans.

Quite an unfortunate place to drift off into an ellipsis.

GOING TO WORK Follows Shortly

Monday

I’m doing big numbers now.

And bought. Looks fantastic.

Oddly my only memory of the brand is of some gravelly voiced ad about Duckham’s Hyper Grade. Unlike Valvoline.

Did you remember to take off the PR agency’s contact details before you published?

The OP included it in their list. Mine was simply a light hearted addendum. Personal interpretation may vary. Hope you have a good day.

Well, the happiest of birthdays to you! And since it is a special one you can have an extra point for naming which lubricants magnate paid for the memorial?

You missed out smug. It makes people smug.

The fact that Jones is completely unbothered by the dismemberment of Brett is probably the most realistic thing in it.

Great. I’ve discovered Alien is on BBCThree. Now I have to stay up and finish it.

Bored I tried to ‘watch’ some sort of lightweight documentary on the PlayStation on Amazon Prime. The content was standardly uninspiring but the sound was dreadful. Need to a free text field not a ‘Don’t Like’ button.

Sure we can jam Star Wars in there also? Or have the mind rubbers worked fully on The Phantom Menace?

I RECENTLY bought a new laptop which, to my surprise, was made by HP. This must be a really progressive company to diversify from producing baked beans, soup and tomato sauce to making computers. Their competitors should take a leaf out of HP's book and get busy. Maybe we could see new gadgets like a Fray Bentos Fitbit, Batchelors Bluetooth Earbuds or even a Mr Kipling Raspberry Smartphone.

Post a fictional comedian who definitely would accept an invitation to the Riyadh Comedy Festival.

Blimey, well done! That is service.

Any memory of who the support act were?

First ever gig also. But you know that. Wow.

Inside Number 0 Concerning a lake named Gary, an intricately divided house, Lichtenstein's largest baby, and the date of Australian Christmas.

Found the gfriend crying with laughter this morning at this. Once I read it, I got close to hyperventilating. johnfinnemore.substack.com/p/welcome-to...

Ex-Reform UK Wales leader Nathan Gill pleads guilty to bribery charges Nathan Gill admits eight charges of bribery while being a Member of the European Parliament.

This is a very important story in the context of Nigel Farage’s publicly expressed - if apparently unconnected - admiration for Putin and other links with a regime that only wants to harm our country.

Clearly. Are those burkhas on the two figures in the all-too-sharp background?

I feel like it has shades of the garage - they like to assert a degree of expertise over you - but also the hobbyist who are horrified that you don’t know (or care) about all the things that you are doing wrong with that front sprocket.

Toby Carvery?

Great point in the Alt text, re Avebury.

[Withnail, close to tears] “I have become vulnerable in the night-time economy”.

A comic strip in four panels: 1. A bird's-eye view of a giant amphora the size of a building with closed eyes and a closed mouth engraved on it. Using scaffolding, a community of wizards climbed up and are throwing all their books into it, to fill its content. > Wizards: All our grimoires for the Amphora of Great Intelligence! 2. A ground level view at the bottom of the giant amphora. This time, the wizards bring tree trunks, cut down nearby trees, and throw them into a large fire to boil the giant amphora. > Wizards: All our forests for the Amphora of Great Intelligence! 3. A gathering of all the wizards below the imposing amphora which has now opened its glowing eyes and mouth slightly. The crowd of wizards at its feet applauds: > Wizards: Amphora of Great Intelligence, our world is dying, share your knowledge with us! 4. Same shot, as the amphora responds with joyful and amused eyes. The wizards are confused by the answer... > Artificial Intelligence: According to geologists, you should eat at least one small rock per day. > Wizards: ... ... ...

The Amphora of Great Intelligence (AGI)

iPhone Notes screen showing the autocorrect suggestion for Weetabix being Satanic.

My autocorrect clearly has very strong opinions about our breakfast choices.

As if FIFA could be embarrassed! Probably took tips.
