You making that joke reminds me of this film that I’ve only ever encountered as on prominent display among the VHSs in the TV rental department of the big Tesco in Dundee when I were a lad.

VHS cover of 1969 movie Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice. Presumably the origin story of Charlie Bucket’s grandparents.

Nigel Farage's lack of empathy for vegans, men who have periods, helpful partners, women looking insufficiently feminine to meet JK Rowling's female public toilet entrance requirements, and anyone else requiring a vegan tampon from the gents is both appalling and unsurprising.

X Tweet from Nigel Farage: "The National Trust has put vegan tampons in men's toilets. God help us."

Clare shouldn't be losing any sleep over her mistake. If Stephen and the other actors didn't know the answer off the bat, no-one was going to get it!

I feel the Traitors not giving the murderer a clear steer on the victim may have been an error, but maybe I'm underestimating them.

Had such a smile on my face watching Celebrity Traitors. What a cast. Seeing them all together, mucking in for the task, and then facing murderous consequences... Joyous!

Just checked my Freesat box is still tuned in. I'm going to watch Celebrity Traitors live as my broadband has been a bit flaky the last couple of days.
