I don't know who pasted the extra couple of words onto this Just Eat sign I saw in Bristol yesterday, but I think I love them. #Subvertising #CivilDisobedience #EatTheRich

I just know that I know that name from somewhere: did she win a bronze for Team GB in the dressage, maybe?

Gromit and Dangermouse should be there. I'd love to see Feathers McGraw as well but he's a baddie so no chance.

Yes everything is terrible but letโ€™s not lose sight of the fact that someone has written the Headline to End All Headlines.

Comic. [Person with shoulder-length hair talking to a second person. She is gesturing at a dinosaur skeleton with a machine mounted on its back.] PERSON 1: Although Bazookasaurusโ€™s distinctive structure was long assumed to be a weapon, vascularization studies show that it was very fragile and could only have been used for display.

We have passed a sign on the French autoroute several times for a place called Fursac.
It makes us (mid 50s) giggle far more than it should.

Shot distribution of my Portsmouth round.
No, I don't know why it's called a Portsmouth, but there are others named after British towns.
The solitary 5 was on the last end, but fortunately didn't scupper the PB.

#Project500 has been completed - my Portsmouth round today was 502/600, so I am really rather pleased.
To celebrate, I am going to buy a new bow tomorrow - and as one of the club coaches said, watch my scores plummet!

I need every single male artist that follows me to read this. It's not very long. You need to bear witness to this shit. You have to see it with your own eyes because you never will in your everyday life.

I'm serious, read it all please

He got in touch with me a couple of years ago to ask if my father's photos of Northampton had anything featuring Black Caribbean people or culture - there isn't much, tbh.

A portrait of a red horse with blonde mane standing in the sun, looking straight at me. His mane is slightly off to one side in the wind. There is some frosty water droplets in his beard hairs.

Six years ago today, in one of the most French bits of French news this account is aware of, the French health ministry issued a statement to the French people warning them that using cocaine would not protect them from Covid
