So it’s just Andrew Windsor now. Highest of high times.

Out of the Royals and out of the Royal Lodge.

I’m still listening to Virginia Giuffre’s book and it’s heartbreaking beyond words that she missed this development by only 6months!

On Halloween, unsettle the trick-or-treat kids at your door by congratulating one of them on their highly realistic ghost outfit, while talking to an empty space behind the others.

A human face can be hideous, but nothing is as scary as facelessness. It’s the same with pumpkins. That’s why I’m displaying a totally intact pumpkin in my window to terrify the kids. No, you’re lazy.

Your daily reminder that the government continues to commercially support an individual who wants to destroy it through fascist violence.

Essentially brilliant in everything. RIP.

On day one of rehearsals, she reputedly asked Cleese:
'How did they ever get married?'
And Cleese thought, 'Oh god, I was afraid you'd ask that.'

Our friends at Hamble Valley Reform have a Facebook page, and this is their profile image.

And I can't stop laughing.

But I don't know anyone called Graham Crackers.

Just a beautiful picture for a Monday morning...

Cornwall is a stunning part of the UK with some fantastic countryside, but the highlights for me are the rugged coast walks and seafood. As a bonus its pretty #dogfriendly too.

Donald Trump has released a statement. [Image of a bowl of alphabet soup.]

A dog sits near a tall shoe rack filled with various types of shoes in a room with wooden flooring. All shoes are stacked on high shelves, out of the dog’s reach.

“Guys, correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe I’m sensing a lack of trust here, and frankly, it hurts my feelings.”

Mine is struggling too

Brilliant

Who’s with me?

These maniacs are sad that advertisers are presenting black & brown people as family members, professionals and users of washing machines rather than iklwa hurling zulus, untrustworthy agents of Vichy, dockyard lascars in opium dens and double crossing Crusader infantry

British ultra-nationalist party 'Reform' rocked up to Caerphilly in South Wales expecting a landslide victory and were sent packing by the left leaning Welsh party Plaid Cymru.
Disclaimer; I don't have any faith that electoral politics can save us, but this little F**k OFF was still satisfying ✊

That's racism. Plain and simple.

No other word for it.

It's shocking beyond belief that this sort of thing is somehow acceptable.

I want to be this cat
