A riff on ‘unanimous’: which comes from the Latin for ‘one mind’. ‘Unasinous’ means ‘one ass’.

A horrific image of a someone who seems to have his hands tied behind his back. A big cat (the predator kind, not the overfed pet kind) has jumped up at him and is devouring his face. Blood splashes on the floor.

For Blue Monday we can't think of anything more appropriate than this charming depiction of a man getting his face eaten off by a leopard.

Word of the day is ‘catch-fart’ (17th century: an obsequious individual who will always follow the political wind.

Well that just made me roar with laughter 😂

Why return of Donald Trump to White House means UK must rejoin European Union As Donald Trump rattles his sabre about trade, tariffs and territorial expansion, it’s clear the UK urgently needs to improve access to Europe’s single market

Couldn’t agree more. It’s done a sterling job in a trying year for my family. You see how busy they are, it amazes me they can move as quickly as they do tbh.

Just doing a share on the off chance I might win books, (I already have two of them so I’ll donate those two to a good home if I’m lucky enough to win 😁).

Etymology of the day: before a tapering piece of hanging ice was called an ‘icicle’ it was an ‘ickle’. In the Middle Ages people decided to add ‘ice’ for extra oomph and (tautologically) called it an ‘ice ickle’, until the two words eventually blended together.

Good to see you here 😊
