I remember my dad saying to her that if he'd "known she had such a dirty mind he wouldn't have married her".
My drunken response to this was "bollocks, you would have tried harder"

I remember a conversation about 20 years ago with my parents where my mum pointed out that children's TV shows like Rainbow, the Magic Roundabout and Hector's House were full of innuendo about non-child-friendly subjects.
"Tell me you know nothing about the Muppets without telling me you know nothing about the Muppets."

Bending the rules because the first one that popped in my head was If I Had $1000000 by Barenaked Ladies.
Deleted a post about “what’s your least favorite song” because the vibes are bad enough already.
Instead: what’s your favorite song that has a long title, say at least 6 words long?
Mine: “Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town” (Pearl Jam)

As Barenaked Ladies almost said, like Kurosawa I make made films, ok I don't make films, but if I did they'd have Melania
Yeah but what if the Melania movie was called Seven Samurai instead? And then when you went to see it they just showed you Akira Kurosawa’s 1954 masterpiece Seven Samurai? I bet you liberals would *love* it then. Typical.

@samwhyte.bsky.social can't find the old thread so starting a new one for wholesome cricket moments.
First session of the winter for Kwik (I'm lead coach) and we've got two brand new players. Both younger brothers of other players, one is 6, the other is not yet 5. 1/n

Do I need to have seen Ivana or Marla before I watch Melania or does it work as a standalone film?

This also fits perfectly to the tune of Lost Highway by Hank Williams
New Liverpool supporters' song just dropped
🎶 He's a centre half
He's number four
He can't defend
But at least he scored
He misjudged the ball
And played like shite
He's Virgil van Dijk

Right then, tomorrow is the tenth anniversary of one of the maddest things that I've ever been part of at a gig.
Angaleena Presley, one third of the Pistol Annies, played at the Bodega in Nottingham. There were about 50-60 people in attendance.

I'm glad authors like when their book gets borrowed from a library. I've currently got ten books reserved through my local library.
I ran out of space at home, I think I've only bought books in the last couple of years where I couldn't borrow them.

Someone said to me, "I'm sorry but I got your book from a library." Nobody should ever apologise for that. You read my book! That's brilliant! I grew up hanging out in libraries and the idea of a world without them fills me with dread. Without libraries, authors, like readers, will only suffer.
