Former pub landlord Phil Mitchell, 61, points to where he was injured by a malfunctioning ticket barrier at Walford East Underground station. Transport for London denies responsibility.

27 years ago today, artist John Myatt was sentenced to a year in prison for conspiracy to defraud, after painting around 200 fake works, including Chagalls and Matisses over a period of eight years, which convinced buyers despite usually being rendered in household emulsion mixed with KY Jelly 🧵

Saw a specialist doctor the other day. I mentioned my 45th is coming up.

“Oh, what will you be doing to celebrate?”

“I’ll be asking my GP to get me a colonoscopy“

I always got packets. I was shocked to find the fish style here in Aus, just seemed off brand

It’s wild how many houses are being built on the Murray system (eg Moama). I wonder how much the MD basin can support it

I once got quoted in the SMH for posting on the bird site that I was going to work early for the same reason

Did your MPs go? Kelly O’Dwyer gave a speech about immigration (lol) and gave me a shrub that died in the summer heat later that year.

It was a stormy night. The City of Stonnington went from playing “I Will Survive” straight into the processional for the offical party. Toward the end of the ceremony, the smell of the party pies was really tempting

The whole 1800-1830 chunk was a shitshow. They were talking about fires and were showing the wrong places on the map while Jez was pointing at them on a green screen. Just confusing.

The dude even said that while some people were skilled at farming or whatever his best skill was being a gossip.

You missed Jeremy Fernandez interviewing a cafe owner from Euroa last night. At least one “fuck” going to air live, a rant about how redistributions have disproportionately impacted rural areas, and a whole thing about private companies and powerlines. Was really surprised it went on so long.

Today I found out that, because of gay fiction books about ice hockey, women are attending ice hockey matches.
They're calling it "boy aquarium" and when the hockey players slam up against each other and get all aggressive, they're chanting "KISS, KISS, KISS, KISS!"
Men are complaining that it's ruining it, and that they shouldn't be allowed to sexualise men playing sports.

Image depicts the following, which is the text transcription. It's very cute! "Lemon Piglet (11) For good luck in the New Year, a lemon piglet is a must! Insert four toothpicks into a lemon for legs. Slit pointed end for mouth to hold shiny penny, and two cuts for the ears. Eyes are cloves.  Crush and curl foil for silly tail."
