I listen to the news for a few minutes each day before The Archers (the real news).
Watched it with my mum. Ten minutes before the end, she said "They could have tried harder to make all the women look different".
The missile seen being transported with Arabic writing on the tip
NEW: An Iranian outlet has published this picture of a ballistic missile.
The writing on the front reads: "In memory of the victims of Epstein Island".

If you go back 900 years, then a very high percentage of the people who read this post will also be descended from this man's ancestor.
I'm almost certainly descended from him.
Why don't I get a seat in the House of Lords?
I beg to differ.
🚨I'm writing a book! It's about @ZackPolanski & the @TheGreenParty!
Polanski has caused a political earthquake. The old parties are falling into the abyss. Can the Greens replace Labour and defeat Reform?

Hey who remembers trial by jury ffs
And now, here we are!
All men live enveloped in whale-lines.
Diana Quick is so beautiful though
Absolutely superb film. Makes Ken Russell look understated.
I remember one where a girl went into a fairy hill and she did not emerge.

I can still remember the first time I heard this. As soon as the Harp came in, I burst into tears

The Jesus one
The one his widow found in a bottom drawer: Skylight. Lovely.
From the NY Times in 1932: Benjamin de Casseres to write a magazine by, and entirely about, himself. "It will be a magazine of aggressive individualism," he added, somewhat unnecessarily.
He's just fabulous.
"Human writing often includes some clunky phrases, like this passage from Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian, caused by the author's aversion to punctuation: 'As well ask men what they think of stone.'"
This is the stupidest g.d. thing I have read all day.
It's Geoffrey Burgon. Still I feel right in saying the TV version extinguishes a lightness that's present in the text.
Now of course I am watching the old series of Brideshead again. It's too slow! And the music kills it stone dead. Who did the music? I bet it's Carl Davis. Deadly dull.
I think 23d is PEACE.
It could be. That's the one which is still troubling.
Cheers gang
It seems to be INTINE a term relating to pollen cells. I think she's gone too far there.
Which gives YETI for 14a
NICE
This is the curate's work, so ecclesiastical honour is at stake
