Still got a few days left to pop on your Peter Mandelson one though

They’ve clearly arrested Benjamin Netanyahu by mistake, fooled by his Prince Andrew tabard

Based on my extensive movie knowledge, they’ve released him so they can tail him to a lockup off the A149 where he keeps all the really incriminating evidence in some cardboard boxes.

Possibly the most honest thing Jenrick has said

Nugget looks a little green there

They are both suffering from twatparent

Rowley is definitely on the RHS Board

And you also have to already hold a £140 Chelsea entry ticket to then pay more to partake of these fine comestibles. Funnily enough I didn’t include “hyper-expensive opportunities to get pissed on endless champagne” jn my answer on effective outreach strategies for public gardens

Thanks - I am not but will check it out. I have no doubt that some (many?) RHS staff dislike this side of the business. But the contrast been professed values and the corporate reality they play into is stomach-turning (for me)

Breakfast for £70

Lunch for £126

Something unbearable to do for the afternoon with loaded wankers who know nothing about horticulture £300

AI generated slop describing something which is as socially exclusive and environmentally unsustainable as possible

Red sky at night
Weather’s been shite
Red sky in the morning
It’ll piss down on the awning

Early 1930s?

Agreed. Plus for once no words which need American context to make sense. Back to that tomorrow no doubt

Ah - sorry to say I am with them on that. I think my initial amusement was combination of a) I should be able to do this when I focus on it and b) this is going to annoy a lot of people. It was my fastest solve to date. Good luck!

This made me laugh out loud. Still amused. Need to recover before trying to solve it

Good morning and happy Friday from me and this fragrant ball of sunshine!
Of all the harbingers of Spring, Edgeworthia feels the most magic to me. Humble clusters of flowers on knobbly bare stems, but lean in and smell them and their fragrance is honeyed perfection!
