Retired curmudgeon, find humour in the weirdest of places.
Why does Douglas Adams always sound so prescient?
I like to think Mostly Harmless talks to Moby Dick, and just sometimes Moby Dick lets Mostly Harmless do the relevant quote of the day. They both clear it with Suzie Dent, of course, in case of word overlap.
When he heard the words "integrity" or "moral rectitude", he reached for his dictionary, and when he heard the chink of ready money in large quantities he reached for the rule book and threw it away.

Strong support for Jowita - not Ross. It'll be interesting to see how far her fans can carry Ross into the competition.
I'm reminded of how Ola Jordan carried Chris Hollins to the title in 2009 by flashing a lot of flesh and doing a lot of pole dancing moves around him.

I have a big ask. My 9yo son is autistic and he’s been raising a betta fish he named Kevin. Yesterday He asked if he could “share a photo of Kevin with the whole world“. I don’t know if this will work, but a dad’s gotta try. Like and share if that’s your thing. Kevin says hi! 🐟👋

World leaders don't usually get invited to US presidential inaugurations.
Trump has broken with the tradition to invite:
Comrade Xi
Giorgia Meloni
Crazy Javier Milei
And former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro.
THAT is the story. But once again right are desperate to make it about Starmer
