Just been using my laptop on my lap and have to say, it’s a classic move. Feels right. Can see why it earned the name

Oh that’s a good one

Twitter is a great place to see interactions so dumb you couldn’t even dream them

Ralph Fiennes has the greatest range of any working actor, right? Can anyone else be THAT scary and THAT funny?

Never clocked ‘An Ethanol Picture’ until now

As someone who used to get South West Trains to school for years, and then (after it was renamed) get South Western Railway to work for years, I cannot tell you how happy I am to dance on its useless grave now that it’s nationalised. My least favourite company ever. May they cancel trains in hell
