I totally agree with South-Western Railway on this. Babies are very nutritious and so tempting for a quick meal, but you will regret it for the rest of your miserable life.

I find it horrifying how many people support the two-child benefit cap, knowing that it forces children to live in poverty. Sometimes the voters are morally dreadful and you need to ignore them

This country seems to have a bottomless well of sympathy towards asset rich pensioners and only contempt for anyone under 50 who is putting half their income into paying their landlords fourth mortgage and a big chunk of the rest into skyrocketing bills.
Look it’s never nice to find yourself in a position of having to move when you don’t want to but given that due to the volatility of the London housing market I have had to move FIVE TIMES since 2020 I’m struggling to feel very sympathetic towards people whose ’problem’ is a paid off 2mil property.

Today is the 56th anniversary of the first performance of Mahna Mahna on Sesame Street. You’re familiar with it by now, of course, but... well, it never hurts to be reminded, does it?

I remember "Cla'ham" and "St Reatham" from when I first moved down to these parts, but this is the best.
Thinking of the lady I overheard on a train out of Waterloo circa 2009, who said on the phone ‘I’m just coming in to Clappy J-J’. A phrase that at once altered my personal London psychogeography, and will be bouncing around my head forever

Of course, one of the worst things about it no longer being 1979 and scheduled TV no longer being the cultural norm is that I can no longer come home from school, turn on BBC1, see it's Budget Day and reprieve my never-not-funny joke "THEY'RE SPENDING THE WHOLE AFTERNOON TALKING ABOUT A BUDGIE?!"

Still looking for a stuffing recipe to serve on Thanksgiving? Try cramming your bird full of Twinkies! Don't forget to baste the turkey with the cream filling to round out the flavor profile.

A few days after Cristiano Ronaldo was at the White House, FIFA says it has suspended the remaining two games of Cristiano Ronaldo's three-game ban for violent conduct, meaning he can play in Portugal's first two World Cup games.
Coincidence or not, it's certainly timing.

Actually, I think you'll find "lattes" just means "milks". The hot beverage I think you're referring to is called a caffe latte. Oh, and two of those panini's, please.
(I'm clearly a blinkered and unobservant shopper, as I had no idea there were packaged caffe lattes.)

Will never not retweet this monster.
RAINBOW (1972) was originally conceived as Britain's answer to Sesame Street, and Geoffrey, George, Zippy and Bungle would eventually become household names. But the first series featured a maniacal, wide-eyed, terrifying prototype of cuddly old Bungle Bear...

Honestly, give Farage a break. He only said 12 of the 14 words, and "yay, Hitler" rather than "Heil Hitler".

'... the brain stays in the adolescent phase until our early thirties when we "peak".'
And I assume this is an approximate age, right? The peak could be delayed in some people, right? Y'know, by 20 years or so? Hmm?

Fascinating thread.
It was 62 years ago #OnThisDay in 1963 that President John F. Kennedy was assassinated.
Here's a piece I wrote for the History of the BBC website a couple of years ago about how the BBC covered the news.
I'm quite pleased with this one...
