Can you hear me Delroy Lindo?

Also known as Lest we faggot.

Their pay rises should be linked to other public sector workers.

@deathtospinach.bsky.social Have you seen this?

I was hoping both teams funded by human rights abusers would lose. #MCINEW

Do MPs from other parties get represented by you, or just this one?

Amazing pictures.

RIP Sly Dunbar, him and Robbie were the best drum and bass combo in reggae. But they transcended that and played with so many non reggae artists too. #slydunbar

Really enjoying 2nd series of Things you Should have Done on iPlayer. Even funnier than the 1st and with added Bridgit Christie.

Tesco just arrived with my delivery. The driver handed me a bag and said ‘There’s a couple of substitutions, here’s your sprig of rosemary and haddock.’

I said to him ‘This isn’t the thyme or the plaice’

25/26? My money is on Amorim,

The worst thing to happen in Macclesfield since the death of Ian Curtis. #cpfc

For 117 years, #CPFC had the claim to fame of being the last non-league side to knock out the #FACup holders (1909 -defeated #WWFC as a Southern League club).

And in typical Palace-y style, they win the Cup after 120 years (or 164 if you prefer) and lose to a non-league club in the next game!

Dinner in the Iguanodon model from the Illustrated London News: shows a huge dinosaur model with its back section missing or unfinished, with men sitting inside it. Around it stands a stage, with steps up, around which waiters are moving with trays. The whole thing stands inside a huge set of drapes, presumably on some kind of frame, as there is a chandelier hanging above the dinosaur

Well, if it’s 31 December, it’s... yes, of course: 172nd anniversary of the dinner Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins, creator of the Crystal Palace dinosaurs, gave for 21 leading academics and other VIPs inside the Iguanodon

Tesco arrived with the Christmas delivery. The driver handed me a bag and said ‘There’s a couple of substitutions, here’s your sprig of rosemary and haddock.’

I said to him ‘This isn’t the thyme or the plaice’

Thinking, from their voice, that I was serving somebody who acts in The Archers*, I said: "You know what I think? I think somebody is going to get KILLED this Christmas."
The customer was NOT an actor in The Archers.
Shorn of context, my words were... not apt.

*we do have such a customer

And me

No town needs 4 Tescos.

Where is it?

I eat my peas with honey
I've done it all my life
It makes the peas taste funny
But it keeps them on the knife

Fair choices like taxing the rich. If only.

We don't celebrate Thanksgiving. Why do we even have Black Friday here?

The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole

The men who raised the flags Nigel Farage says this summer’s movement was led by ‘ordinary people’ expressing their patriotism. That’s not what we found

❓ "In my experience, most people do not share overtly racist social media posts; they do not have criminal records for people smuggling or involvement in racist crimes."

"Our reporters have found key flag raisers with these kinds of CVs."

The best thing would have been to postpone the Prem games on the 21st, and play them later in the season.
