8 first class stamps and two bottles of Coke Zero cost me over £16 today. Would’ve been cheaper to deliver the birthday cards myself

Why is it a series of separate heatwaves? Why not one long heatwave?

Was slightly, slightly tempted to stay longer in the office just for the aircon

Truly we are all richer for his posts

Can only assume the quote they’ve pulled for the trailer is “The best Stephen King film, except for all the others”

Fascinated that someone thinks The Life of Chuck is the best Stephen King film when The Shawshank Redemption, The Shining and Stand By Me exist. It didn’t even look like the best Stephen King adaptation in the trailers (The Running Man looks way better!)

I think the granddad episodes have aged far worse than the Uncle Albert episodes somehow

Perfume, perf-me?

Only Connect and Fake or Fortune on the same night?

Only Connect is back ❤️

Introduced my cousin and aunt to the one and only 24 karat gold labubu this afternoon. True cultural education.

Why’s it always things like VPNs that get banned and not plastic garden lawns? Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

The late, great Tom Lehrer would’ve loved a mouse bungee

Did cortisol write this?

Rob Rinder stands next to Liz Hurley who has risen from the dead out of her coffin

Of course and you even get a free Parker pen just for enquiring

Only £95 to look like you’re in a 1940s convalescent home, price matched by Nye Bevan’s ghost

These new pyjamas will certainly set pulses racing

Just realised I had X on the For You tab

Difficult one! Slipping Through My Fingers or Does Your Mother Know

Cake?

Interest rates will go down incrementally, the value of the $ vs £ is also falling, battery technology is getting cheaper and more efficient (look at the Renault 5 made in France!), increased defence spending is good for jobs, when properly applied AI will increase efficiencies like photocopiers did

Not to be all optimistic but a lot of discourse at the moment is predicated on things remaining shit. There is a chance (and this is naive) that things could improve!

This has unfortunately reminded me of the 90s dance version of Nutbush City Limits

Proper “crime is legal now” stuff here, just this time for serious and organised crime worth hundreds of thousands that no-one seems to think is worth their time to investigate

She’s Electric is mine and my family’s favourite - always shocked to see nobody else seems to like it!
