If we must have a word, how about Deciflate?

Anyone else noticed that Miele white goods announce the end of cycle with the first four notes of Waterloo Sunset?

Strong Mr Bennett energy, I suspect?

I am reminded of a CRM system install at a previous employer. Don’t worry about version “one-point uh-oh” they said. System had been thoroughly debugged during the parent company install in Italy. First morning, 2 items sold @ 99p.
That will be £1.99. Please…

Funny, but every time I see dinosaurs and hominids in the same cartoon, my eye twitches.

I’m reminded of the quip, “The man who invented predictive text, sadly passed away last week. The Funfair is on Wednesday”

Sure , but I think it strayed into schmaltz for me. The apparent ease around guns was another US theme which jarred. Particularly when they were so ineffective except at killing soldiers. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a cracking yarn which we much enjoyed.

I enjoyed it having binged the whole thing in a few weeks. The only thing which troubled me was how the kids, who had shown such bravery and resilience in the face of extreme danger, then go to pieces when discussing their relationships. Difference between US and UK view perhaps?

A provocative opinion, clearly designed to draw attention away from Sinitta’s GTO. Not biting.

Clear out toys now!

Love being reminded to do this every year. It's a win/win all round

Too much time on their hands, episode 394…

There's always one!

I sometimes wonder who the Guardian dislikes more; the Rabid Right or the “disappointing” left of centre?

Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Scone.

Well you know the old saying; No pain, no pain!

As a rule, when you move in with your beloved, a few duplicates in your combined cd collection is a positive sign. How do the youngsters get around the six hour playlist if there is no shared musical tastes?

Nigel Farage 'has £35k pay docked by EU over misspending claim' Former UKIP leader has had his salary cut after claims he misspent EU funds, the BBC understands.

History doesn’t repeat itself but it rhymes.

A Far Right party leader misused EU funds? WHO would have thought it?

The sheer rage-inducing gall of the people who made this happen calling themselves "pro life".

I agree. Nobody mentions the elephant in the room.

So in Trump’s view, Putin can be trusted not to ignore any deal they sign because a minerals deal would give the US an economic interest in Ukraine.
So him giving security guarantees should be no big deal, surely?

If Trump was President in 1940

Taking time of the two posts as a reference, that’s 6 beers in 85 minutes, or circa 14 minutes per pint. A bit lame for a rugby man, surely?

I know what you mean, so annoying!
Actually, the man who invented predictive text sadly died recently.
The funfair is next Tuesday.

Another case of a leader whose main flaw was not what he did, but the things omitted through insufficient bravery.

Retired Audiologist here. One chap reported tinnitus in his left ear, which stopped after adding olive oil. When I examined his canal there was an insect leg sticking up. Referred to GP. Can’t believe a health professional would not explain (appropriately) what they saw.

How about this?

Am I alone in loving Christmas but finding New Year a bit blah? Maybe my body finds the cumulative excesses have reached saturation point. Do enjoy yourselves despite this Grinch.

Calling Sadiq Khan's knighthood a "reward for failure" is a bit rich from the party that knighted Gavin Williamson and gave Chris Grayling a peerage.
