I don't want to get into an argument with Bernie Taupin but I think you'll find that floccinaucinihilipilification is actually the hardest word.

Happy birthday to Steve Cropper. Here's a fantastically cool clip of Booker T. & the M.G.'s performing Time Is Tight at Stax Studios. It's taken from a French mini-documentary from 1969, which also features Isaac Hayes, the Memphis Horns etc. Watch it at 📺▶️ youtu.be/ste1KIwjbLE

Watching the Arsenal game on Prime. They've not kicked off yet on screen so they've probably actually played for about three minutes.

Anyone who thinks Python 'weren't as good after Cleese' should watch this episode as it's one of the best of all of the 45 they did.

the symbolism of “Trump destroying the White House for a overpriced luxury vanity project, during a government shut down, days after a historically-large mass demonstration against his regime called “No Kings”’ would be rightly viewed as laying it on a little thick if it was in a work of fiction

Tom - It's a runt.
Jerry - How very Anglo-Saxon.

Fair play to Esmonde and Larbey getting that one through in 1976.

He should be more worried about the number of very good chances they wasted today and the current utter uselessness of Salah.

Thanks to Wikipedia, it was in 2003 - 2-1 defeats to Chelsea and Man City in the last two games of the 02-03 season, then Chelsea again on the opening day of 03-04. I'm sure roughly three of you are interested too but I had to know.

When was the last time Liverpool lost three league games in a row by the same scoreline I wonder.
