Oh yes, I was thoroughly engrossed in this book (I won't say "enjoyed" because I learnt of horrors that made me question why any human being would ever watch a horror film when man has done far worse to our own kind IN REAL LIFE).

SOAS awarding an honorary doctorate to Gary Stevenson does feel incongruous alongside all the genuinely deserving recipients listed beneath him.

JustWatch - The Streaming Guide All your streaming services in one app.

It's Saturday evening, I'm browsing www.justwatch.com (no affiliation) and thoughts turned to films I've watched mid-flight which were so bad I lose respect for anyone involved.
What films were so bad you feel this way?
Mine were "Godzilla: King of the Monsters", "Mortal Kombat (2021)", maybe others

‘The View’ host asks Harris what she would have done differently than Biden | CNN Politics CNN political commentator and Co-Host of “The View” Ana Navarro joins CNN News Central to discuss Vice President Kamala Harris’ interview.

Jayda Fransen on X: "The Indian grift accounts don’t know the difference between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland." / X The Indian grift accounts don’t know the difference between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.

I'm just not mentally ready for Jayda Fransen, formerly of the English Defence League and Britain First and founder of the Christian Nationalist Party, unmasking engagement-bait accounts run by non-Brits in her free time.
If my enemy does good am I wrong for approving?

I suspect it’ll be the last time she agrees to go to a gig with you if you do 😂

I’d just returned from a weekend with the Birmingham University Officer Training Corps and my body was broken, I went to see Borat in the cinema and it hurt to laugh that much, I was in agony.

"Lyft acquisition finalised: your personal data will now also be processed by Lyft, following their acquisition of FREENOW."

Noooooooo, whyyyyyyyy

He was eager to lap up my fingers after I crumbled a block of feta, and when I handed him an empty carton of lamb mince, I think he thought he'd hit the jackpot.
He actually disappeared with the carton and I got a bit concerned until he returned with it from the garden.

I've been preparing a recipe with endless steps prior to cooking (Jamie Oliver - 15 Minute Meals - Turkish Flats) and the dog has been following me like a shadow, desperately hoping for any morsel that might come his way.

It's about time Medvedev stopped being such a wise-ass on twitter. Sounds like he should stay clear of any high-rise buildings with windows for the time being.

If this were any other President, I'd shrug and move on. However, with arguably the most unpredictable world leader of any country ever at the helm, I'm not sure how I feel about this.

Civil service interns must all be working class, government says Internships will only go to students from poorer families in a push to make Whitehall more working class.

Is "leftist" another American culture war import?
And have salaries finally risen enough to allow those from less privileged backgrounds to afford to live in London or are we still going to see candidates turn down London placements for lack of money?

I'm fortunate to have a local Tesco which has a collection point for soft plastics so I just take those with me when I do my food shop.

My council incinerates Tetrapak containers so I haven't got a solution for these yet, and...

There's a very short window before they lose me. If they can't hook my attention in the first few seconds, I'm moving on. And I'd much rather read primary (or is that secondary?) sources such as newspapers first.

No, really, why are Labour Ministers still using twitter?

But Jon, tasks expand to fill the time available... doesn't matter how much time I give myself, I'm always dashing out the door!

Thanks for reminding me how much I loathe him.

There are those who say:
1. Everyone speaks English now so we don't need to study foreign languages
2. Translation software is so good now that we don't need to study foreign languages
To be clear, I detest both arguments, they leave us less competitive vis-a-vis our peers, they make us more insular

Reminds me of an episode of South Park...

Thanks, I'll definitely read your piece. The head and sub-head remind me of an Instagram influencer who calls herself "therealzionistbarbie" who just today I saw had shared a Story with the caption "There is no famine".

Please explain, "mass rape hysteria"?

Oh wow. He really was shit.

How is he able to leave the country at the drop of a hat after proving he is a flight risk on many previous occasions?

Just spotted two open-roof buses with “European Champions” branding, presumably on their way to Central London? Wish I could be at the parade!

Ah, but we forlornly hope that the price of a living, breathing lion would be greater than that of a Le Creuset set, though perhaps not in Pakistan.

By coincidence, the BBC's From Our Own Correspondent programme last weekend featured a segment on the illicit lion breeders and people who are given lions as wedding gifts in Pakistan.
