A joke for the history buffs:

Seems unfair that you only get to use the bouncy slide to get off a plane when things have gone wrong. The bouncy slide should be a treat they give to the best passengers who did the flight correctly.

People overestimate Farage’s popularity- he tends to poll around 28%.
He is given a great help by the Greens, Your Party and seemingly a fair chunk of Labour far keener to give Starmer a kicking than Farage. It will probably see Farage win.

the European mission to Greenland was fourth in the BBC news running order this morning, which feels a bit like doing a light "and finally..." item about the archduke's motorcade taking a wrong turn in Sarajevo

Potentially unpopular opinion: I’d move on from Sirianni faster than I would from Lafleur.
MLF also screwed up the clock, but Packers were majorly affected by injuries.
What’s Nick’s excuse?

Welcome to new Bluesky users.
Here’s how we do things:
1. Always observe the Hambledon Protocol
2. No flisking
3. If someone tealights you, rink them without apology
4. I don’t mind them so much, but tissue-posts are generally frowned on
5. No questions
Good luck!

I don't think you can invest a better 2 min 22 secs today.
This wheel is to the boy squirrel the way that the football is to Charlie Brown and it still makes me laugh every time he tries to use it only to be immediately spun.

That's a decent performance. Would have loved the result, but for where we are right now that's a good performance.
