It used to be Wellington. They change them around from time to time. Who did he want on it, Jim Davidson?
Does the one on the Brookside spinoff count?
Morrissey is working from home today.
Look, if he was to go onstage sleep-deprived he might have come across all grouchy and monotone. And you could probably kiss goodbye to the more intricate dance routines.
I love the idea that *this* US government, which has been nabbing landscapers and five year olds knows where Iranian sleeper cells are but just hasn’t gotten around to doing anything about it yet.

“Sorry love, no Scottish notes.”
Are you about to wash down a tasty burger?
Imagine investing something b targeted at (checks notes) ‘stupid people who want to read.’

Fair play, 'the mad emperor started compulsively buying shoes for his court, guessing their foot size & his courtiers were too scared not to wear them even when they didn't fit' is some classic, on the nose End Days Of The Empire stuff

First time I noticed it was when Shatner got a book deal for his sci-fi books decades back: Celebrity authors are the ultimate indicator that our society is riddled with people who cannot tell the difference between TV characters and the humans who portray them.
By sheer coincidence, it turns out that it’s Douglas Adams’ birthday today.
And they say that the world isn’t a supercomputer being used to deduce the meaning of life, the universe and everything.
(I’m only going to see the trailer for Terrifying Japanese Coldplay Documentary.)
These Marvel movies are starting to sound a bit, y’know, desperate.

University tuition fees system is a “mess”, says Nick Clegg.
Talk about unfortunate coincidences - he’s got the same name as the bloke who promised not to raise them, then supported tripling them in coalition with the Tories.
