Did a chicken name this townland?

The Poet Laureate of the UK is famous for his translation of St Gawain and the Green Knight, and Kym once got up on stage, looked him straight in the eye, and then performed this.

Unsurprisingly enough, every time they've encountered each other since, he's remembered them.

This war's main mudflap is Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth, a man who achieves the rare feat of being both eager to show off his hard muscles and yet somehow also personifying erectile dysfunction.

Happy 12-year anniversary to my favourite broadcast subtitle mistake

A large Regency house. Two sisters named Emilia and Charlotte talk on an upper floor. "Mister Blackwell has come to call again." says Emilia as she looks out of the window "Oh, how I despise his uncouth manners and electric bicycle!" Charlotte says "Sister, you will end up a spinster if you insist on a historically accurate suitor." and continues "The romance novel has changed, Emilia, and so must we." Emilia replies "Easy for you to say. You are engaged to the richest werewolf in the county!" They are walking through the house. Charlotte says "Look at Cousin Lucy: She is quite plain, yet made a most advantageous match with the dragon queen of nalthrax." "True." says Emilia opening the door. The tall, solid figure of Miuster Blackwell stands at the door wearing a top hat and tailcoat: "Ladies, I triumphed In my ice hockey match and won ten thousand a year in sponsorship! Miss Emilia, will you be my bride?" he is holding a hockey stick. Emilia swoons into Charlotte's arms.

Minimal effort professional art. Sounds good!

Answering the eternal question “Is it art?”

Or just do what the Dutch did and paint it?

Perfect

At what stage does watching fruit going off in your fruit bowl move from a hobby to your profession?

amazing that every time i bring this up people are unaware of it. he really got away with it

Irritated by lack of paso shaping in that American free dance by Chock/Bates. Have perhaps watched too much Strictly Come Dancing but if you’re going to do a theme, commit to more than a cape. #olympics

Justice for Surya Bonaly!!

I know they recently made it legal, but seeing how they celebrated the backflip from that male American skater was still frustrating #Olympics

Sheryl Taylor! Finally put her name on screen.

Absolutely loving the laconic Scottish commentary for women’s ice hockey on BBC #olympics. Great knowledge and she’s got the gossip.

It’s important to bear witness to people hurtling down a hill at 150kmph

Just been made aware of Haiti's winter Olympics get-up.

That skirt looks warm, has good pockets, and has a massive horse on it. DING DING DING.

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

Article in The National: Headline: Young Scots save hundreds on bus travel compared with rest of UK. Subheadline: The Scottish Government introduced free bus travel for under-21s as part of the coalition deal with the Scottish Greens, with the policy eventually extended to include all under-22s.

Greens are saving young people hundreds of pounds each year.

4 years ago, we delivered free bus travel for under-22s, now we're calling for it to be expanded. Reducing the cost of public transport is a win-win for people and planet.

Despicable.
