Let the good times roll

Like Alastair, I would wait until Iran is 45 minutes away from using WMDs rather than 6 months before launching an all out war on a sovereign nation

Terrible idea. Disturbing stuff. Vividest dreams for ages. Part 2 tonight 😆

Not fun, per se. Just the standard venting of repressed subconscious existential nightmares of growing up in a small town with NF adjacent douchebags on every street and a gnawing sense that something was rotten in the state of Shrewsbury. With added Savile/Thatcher content. THANKS ADAM

I absolutely did exactly that

Jaw on the floor, as two men have a lengthy discussion on the spurious claims of Israel regarding Iran’s destructive capabilities, without once mentioning the WMD-sized elephant in the studio: that one of its two hosts played a pivotal role in a sickeningly similar situation 22 years ago

Thank you for this 🤗

The period of mourning begins now. Please join us in remembering Jeremy by refraining from eating fish for the rest of the day.

RIP fishy friend, you will be greatly missed 💔

It feels like I actually owned the PCs I've had* whereas Macs or iPhones feel more like they're on loan from some some fictional tech HQ

*possibly down to the inevitable bond you develop after spending so much time nurturing them to keep things running 😆

When I feel down sometimes I get this photo up on my phone and pretend I’m looking down at my own feet. Unsurprisingly effective mood lifter

Analysis | Trump and Musk can’t seem to locate much evidence of fraud They keep justifying their bold moves as combating fraud, but they have been unable so far to point to much of anything that’s actually fraudulent.

To paraphrase Paul Scofield in Quiz Show “if you trawl through terabytes of stolen data and can’t see where the fraud is… it’s you”

Why are all British films from the 1950s called things like 'Watch yourself on the stairs' and 'A brompton bike for billy'

I had a similar experience. I’d bought some bitcoin back in 2012 so I could buy drugs off Silk Road but I couldn’t remember managing to spend it. When the value spiked a few years ago I managed to get access to my wallet and found that yes, I had bought £100 worth, but also yes I’d spent it on drugs

Got a thoughtful, soothing post-op survival package from my sis…

She knows better than to give someone who watches lots of movies something that so clearly resembles C4 and a detonator so I think she’s trying to kill me
