Mr. ‘Teasy Weasy’ Raymond, Stylist to the Stars

This is my will and my final message. If these words of mine reach you, know that Israel has succeeded in killing me and silencing my voice. Peace be upon you, and the mercy and blessings of Allah. Allah knows that I exerted every effort and strength I had to be a support and a voice for my people, from the moment I opened my eyes to life in the alleys and streets of the Jabalia refugee camp. My hope was that Allah would prolong my life until I could return with my family and loved ones to our original hometown, the occupied Ascalon "Majdal." But Allah's will prevailed, and His decree was fulfilled.

Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif’s last tweet is his last will and testament, posted by his friend after he was murdered for telling the truth for 22 months.

Seems a lot

Well, I’m very grateful that wheelchair guy won’t be breaking into *my* airfield any time soon and spray painting *my* planes

She's going to hurt her throat

That many?

I honked for Perot back in 92, back in Vegas. And I'd honk for him again.

A man with a spectacular 1970s mullet, wearing big wellies and a v-neck jumper over a T-shirt, looks at camera as he stands on a boat which is itself standing on the muddy bottom of an empty canal. He is holding up an enormous wooden plug on a long chunky chain

Today is the 47th anniversary of this clearly unimprovable photo, from a story so absurd that it shouldn’t be true, but is: the day a team of workers from British Waterways pulled the plug out of the Chesterfield Canal, and all the water emptied out

It's all about the journey

I knew it was the whales all along. Even when it was the dragons, I knew it was the whales.

We love Athletic Club, our son used to get shirts as his godfather lived in Bilbao. One time we were toddling down the street in Aldeburgh, he about 7, in his shirt, when some chap in a cafe jumped up punching the air and shouting 'Yes! Athletic Club! We will never surrender!'

Saw this at the cinema. What a cracker!

Ah!

That would definitely not be menacing or intimidating

Looks like a Manx cat too.

Phasing

I was told by a friend that he remembered (this possibly is foaflore) that a priest had a heart attack in a gay sauna in Dublin and there were two others on hand to give him the last rites

Fact

Basically, as people used to say, his act is that he *did* just fall off the Xmas tree.

Brigaded by the vile trolls

Being short with short hair seems not to be so great either

Truffles or Oreos?

No, he was Holding Down A Job

There has to have been one surely?

Screenshot of an email: Hi Rachel, Thank you for contacting us about the article you’ve seen. We want our stores to be inclusive and welcoming places for our colleagues and customers. We have written to this customer and explained that our colleagues typically work across all departments in our stores and customers can always ask to speak to the colleague they feel most comfortable with. We also explained that our colleague was asking a customer if they needed help; they were not working on bra fit or offering this. Thank you again for getting in touch.

I wrote to M&S about the stupid lingerie department story - confirms nobody offered a bra fitting to a teenage girl. The Telegraph and JK can (always) do one.

we all know what he should be making, with Serkis in every role

Vic Reeves as Loyd Grossman

Why not both, if Loyd’s not too busy stirring up all his sauces
