Recently discovered The Guardian does a weekly quick cryptic crossword where they divulge the various ways the clues will work meaning they're doable for a novice like me. It's such a lil dopamine hit solving some of these.

I’ll never forget watching The Wicker Man with my outer Hebridean mum. “I just don’t know where there got all that wicker from”
For one of the 'big 6' as cemented by the invention of the Premier League to be relegated is frankly too good to miss.
Every time we get back from a walk I give Norm a mark out of 10 based on time not pulling on the leash and general good behaviour i.e not jumping at or staring at strangers. We're on a two week stretch of 7s and above. A semi professional dog 😆

the top of the statue, where the person at the top of the slope has his hand outstretched so the viewer can "help" pull him up
in 2016 a group of strangers in Kazakhstan saved a dog from drowning by forming a human chain to reach him. they just unveiled a statue commemorating the event and I'm genuinely about to start sobbing
Norm, a Boston Terrier staring at the remains of the West Pier in Brighton in the distance.
Two of my icons met today.
quite like Pankhurst, Atleeton should just be Attlee, Seacole fine, rest in the bin.
Mine is a velcro dog 90% of the time I'm at home and it can be a bit much. Still only a puppy so learning he can play without me. On the other hand he's absolutely fearless and has never suffered separation anxiety when left alone.

Same Norm, same
it is completely fucked that it's all been one disaster after another since the global financial crisis and that was close to 20 yrs ago.
Norm really in reality truthfully unbelievably almost tripped up a very tall man carrying two dozen eggs 😩
I had not heard of this movie but this is simply an incredible scene
you are not prepared for the soundtrack
A pigeon stands next to an egg and a scattering of sticks.
“Stanley, don’t forget you promised to put together the crib this weekend.”
the way my dog suddenly looks at me when i call his name will never get old
the bafa audience hates paddington
One of the greatest bollard walks in history.

Introduced after he showed Shrag his canines 😩
Norm is being an absolute terror today but here's a photo of when he pulled his new bed in front of me and then sat in it like a spaceship
Ali Bati's meme horse in LEGO.

Found an additional graphic that gets even more of these quotes together.
I've kept "I hate myself, I hate clover, and I hate bees" pinned above my desk since I first started studying evolutionary biology as an undergraduate. So relatable to get extremely frustrated with your study system.
Oh god this fucjer was the first example of computer speech I heard on the og Gameboy cartridge. He is all powerful.
Last film I saw in a cinema was The Road (2009!) just got back from The Bone Temple, enjoyed it, not as viscerally disgusting as the one before but entertained throughout. Big hog action.
u know that America does not subscribe to the ICC, you'll are lawless
Took Norm on his longest ever walk today, feels like he is so close to getting the hang of not pulling on his leash, it's been months of little progress but he's getting there. He's also learning not to jump at strangers, we were in town instead of back streets and he only did it once 😅
I hate that u had to but appreciate it.
Norm just ripped the biggest fart in history
