Carachter, cahracter, caracther? Where does the bloody 'h' go? It surely can't be character!

It only took me 17 attempts to get through infancy. Hard as nails, me.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Thanks for replying. It's very much appreciated. I'm going to go and do some reading on this.

I grew up down the road from the Cadbury factory in Birmingham so we had a lot of background stories about Quakers even though I grew up Catholic.

My knowledge of this is limited but I'm genuinely interested. Are dissenters always protestants? Is there a space within ideas of dissnterism for secular ideas?

Stewart Lee: Did you say ‘intifada’? The language police would like a word Some protests are forbidden. Others – such as flying an England flag outside an Asian person’s front door – are not. How’s a poor copper to know the difference?

I sense Stewart Lee has been working on his latest column for some considerable time. Lee delves into psycholinguistics exploring, amongst other things, the work of language philosopher John Langshaw Austin. He argued words "do things" as well as to "assert" things. www.thenerve.news/p/stewart-le...

All those years learning Portuguese were worth it!

Today is the day to repost this meme about International Men's Day, one of the most unironically wholesome memes that has ever been made.

I just did 20 minutes of yoga for the first time in over a year and I feel amazing. Why did I ever stop?

First match of the season at Blues. And what a match! Quality football and some great goals. Not even the rain. Could spoil the night.

Without the contributions of our Black players, both past and present, our history wouldn’t be the same.

A prime example, Obafemi Martins popping up with that iconic moment in 2011. 💙

To celebrate  #BlackHistoryMonth , this is a reminder that Black history will always be part of Blues history.

stop thinking right now

It seems I am chaotic good. Which I can live with.

Wonderfully well explained. Thank you!

One of Britain’s most senior police officers has launched an angry tirade against Extinction Rebellion protesters going “all floppy” when they get arrested. Sir Stephen House, the deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan police, said the tactic of going limp was a “flipping nuisance” as it required extra officers to drag protesters away. House told a London assembly police and crime committee hearing: “We have asked them to stop being floppy. And that might seem like a silly thing to say, but when we arrest them and pick them up, they go all floppy, which is why you see four or five officers carrying them away. It’s a complete waste of officers’ time, and a complete pain in the neck.” Extinction Rebellion: how successful were the latest protests? Read more House also expressed annoyance at how the tactic made the police look heavy-handed. He said: “The problem with them going floppy and four offices carrying them away [is that it] looks to the general public like police are overreacting here. We’re not making them go floppy. They’re just sort of being a nuisance.”

This gets progressively funnier with every use of the term "floppy".

This is how you do it. It's not that difficult.

Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies.

For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!

Their memorials are history. Ours are political. Because as always, there are two sexualities - straight, and political.

Two genders - male, and political.

Two religions - Christian, and political.
