The pet I'll never forget: Julius the tortoise won our hearts – then died of a broken penis

I did not realise the Guardian's 'pet I'll never forget' section had the most insane headlines on the internet.

Adrian Chiles could never.

You wouldn’t get this sort of thing with northern Mr Tayto.

Harlan COLD-en 🥶, more like!

KITCHENWARE COMPANY BOSS: So, did you come up with a name for that revolving food tray, Susan?
SUSAN: No, couldn't be arsed.

Starmer cannot survive this

Screenshot of a Home Screen showing a song playing on BBC Radio Three unwind, titled “It’s Raining” by Maria Parra. Also in the picture is a weather widget, which shows that it is raining. Finally, there is a screen wallpaper of a beautiful young girl, the poster’s daughter.

When BBC Sounds doubles as the VERY accurate weather forecast

I felt well-informed.

Was that you just on? Listening to the wonderful Holly.

To be fair she does look like a chicken.

Jesus was at Walgreen’s again.

Written by Guido Calgie, so not a surprise.

Seems to be fixed now 😃. I tried it, but it didn’t recognise .co.uk so gave up

With all of her different TV and travel commitments, how will she find the time to have another book written by someone else on her behalf?

Screenshot of the book’s “about the author page” which has three whole paragraphs of a biography of Alison and then in tiny writing right at the bottom of the page has the words “with Lisa Bent”.

Writing a publishable book requires 100s of hours of specialist, expert work. #Bombshell was written by professional author Lisa Bent (in consultation with Alison)
Not that you’d know it😕

I’ve seen it recommended quite a lot, but haven’t bought it. Your review has definitely helped, thanks ☺️

Why is Perlego such a buggy, glitchy website? It literally never works, and the app isn’t much better

It was called “Bat and Ball”

One game I worked on:

RIP John Prescott. I interviewed him as part of a research project in 2018. He had a wonderful turn of phrase. Describing meeting up with Tony Blair on the train travelling to down to London the day after the 1997 election, 'Tony came down the carriage, all teeth and handshakes'.

Was considering the traditional “hang, then deport”, but that’s for the other place

I started on the other place c.2012/13, and to start off with it brought out the absolute worst in me, also struggling with addiction and PTSD. It eventually brought out the best in me, when I decided to deactivate about 9 months ago ☺️

If the U.S. reduces its engagement, China’s role as a climate leader becomes even more critical, although unilateral efforts are unlikely to fully offset global inertia.
