Happy to share the recipe with you, from my forthcoming Northern cookbook.

1. Carefully peel and slice 4 large Greggs sausage rolls. Be sure to save the outers for a delicious breakfast treat (see page 17, Geordie Croissants)…

Why does Vladimir Putin look like he’s just chalked his cue while pondering how to get back on the black after potting a tricky red to the far corner?

What if two wrongs DO make a right, and minutes after touching down in Alska, Putin is grabbed by 5 armed, masked guys in a Ford F140 pickup and bundled off to some South American gulag?

You're all taking noted dishonest framer stats for lefties seriously despite their reputation as a noted dishonest framer (or sometimes fabricator) of political issues? It's even in the name, stats for people who like to pick and choose their numbers...

I watched all of Sharpe on ITVX the other week. Grand it was and I’ve learned that if a cavalryman comes at you then you simply knock him off of his horse with the butt of your rifle.

I have thought recently about penning a new note from Burgon and just haven't got round to it, but if it's what the fan base* wants then I might be tempted.

The blog posts from @nearlylegal.co.uk on housing law issues are (and have been for many years) outstanding. Nice to see them break out from the legal community.

Look, she might have been told that she was in charge of homelessness without it being clearly specified whether she was meant to be for or against it.

Interesting choice of words, the use of "left us", rather than just "left" suggests they weren't merely found stashed under his bed, but were a specific bequeathment.

I suspect that if thing had gone pear-shaped then both insurers would have said their policy was void, because you can only use NCB on one at a time, and I’d have ended up on Dibbles On Da Box anyway.
