Just discovered Cross on Amazon Prime.
Great adaptation. Just at the end of the first series now.
"Sugar stop. You had me at motherfucker" made me lol. Fluffy Jerry Maguire romcom it ain't

Didn't realise there was a Disney film.

Greyfriars Bobby - Wikipedia

Reminds me of the story of Greyfriars Bobby from the 19th Century. Not sure how well known this is outside of Scotland though. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greyfri...

I asked this the other day and was told by an 18yr old that it was the modern equivalent of chewing on a tooth pick following a fashion started by some rap artist that I've forgotten the name of.

Catching up on this week's Mock The Week. So glad to see it back on our screens

Lol! I thought you were saying that it was accepted and I was assuming it was an Americanism that I didn't know

I made it to genius today, but that was *not* one of the 26 words I got.

Lovely evening listening to Prof Brian Cox on the warm up for his latest tour in Guildford. Fascinating stuff and he is such an excellent communicator that it makes it very accessible. Well worth a watch if you get the opportunity.

Excerpt from a Guardian story: "Norway’s head coach Magnus Brevik, assistant coach Thomas Lobben, and staff member Adrian Livelten were also banned for 18 months for their involvement in the scheme, which made the jumpers’ suits larger and therefore reduced their descent rate due to the bigger wingspan. One study in the scientific journal Frontiers found that every 2cm in suit size circumference reduced drag by 4% and increased lift by 5%. It said that a 2cm change in the suits was equivalent to an extra 5.8 metres in jump length. However Bild has now claimed that jumpers have switched to other methods to game the system when they are measured for their suits, data for which is taken by a 3D scanner from the lowest point of their genitals. They include injecting acid into their penises or putting clay in their underwear to make their measurements temporarily bigger and therefore their suits looser for when they compete. The newspaper quoted a doctor, Kamran Karim, who said: “It is possible to achieve a temporary, visual thickening of the penis by injecting paraffin or hyaluronic acid. Such an injection is not medically indicated and is associated with risks.”"

Received this text message from my father yesterday. Panicked that he had had a stroke, or similar.
Turns out it was my iPhone trying to transcribe the Irish language.

Well said. I fear it is too late though. The rich have been behaving as though they are above the law for some time now, and in all cases they have got away with it.
I know someone will say Andrew isn't a prince any more - frankly so what? He is still living a gilded life.
They need consequences.

Oof! That's tough then. Only cars I was aware of that happening with were Range Rovers

If no accidents, points etc simple answer is because they can. My renewal last year went up more than 100% for no obvious reason. Shopped around and got it for only slightly more than I'd paid the year before. This year's renewal was LESS than last year. Still shopped around.

@megrowler.fangraphs.com Saw this and thought of you guys

I remember the That's Life episode. I was a student at the time and there wasn't a dry eye in the house. An amazing man and a life well lived.

AI nudification: the latest weapon of violence against women and girls In Julie Burchill’s recent article in the Spectator, Does it really matter if Grok undresses us all?, she makes the argument that those who, like me, have repeatedly had their clothes removed by socia...

This week, an X user created an AI video of me being chloroformed and prepared for rape.

Victims are told it's not real and they're getting offended for no reason.

But nudification tools are weapons of sexual assault, and the harm they cause is real 👇

Ah Faraaz. Realised what was happening just too late to be useful #thetraitors

Mark Carney is spot on here. It's all change and it's about time that Starmer woke up to that fact.

Didn't know that existed before now. I've made 'Genius' today with 51 words, 280 points & 3 pangrams but that has been picking away at it all day. 68 words is a pipedream frankly 😂

I had no idea there was anything above Genius! I normally tap out once I reach Genius. Or if I'm particularly struggling, Amazing. Don't think I'll ever reach those heady heights esp given the US centric spelling/words. Congratulations!

Have spent most of the weekend decoding Viginere cyphers. Astonishing how quickly the time flies by

Sorry to hear that. It was absolutely treacherous this morning. I nearly came a cropper on multiple occasions.

So basically summer in Scotland? If you aren't used to it, it can become a little depressing though

Hobbling on a sprained ankle I didn't cross the street in NYC when the guy behind me clearly expected me to. He apologized for walking into me. It was Tim Henman. I wished him good luck then worried that he'd already been knocked out of the US Open. He hadn't. Phew!

Holly cow! I think I managed 2. Kudos!
