My friend - who knows nothing about football - was in a study group with a nice bloke called Vinny when he did his business MBA in Manchester about 15 years ago. When autograph hunters approached them in a city centre cafe, Vinny casually explained he was the captain of Manchester City.
i am a neutral and i want arsenal to win the league because human rights abusing petrostates are worse than annoying fans, and i don't understand how this isn't a consensus opinion.

Spectacular ...
Mackenzie Crook’s magical suburban folk tale, #SmallProphets published by #PenguinBooks and #PuffinBooks down the years. A 🧵

In the story of Humpty Dumpty it is never said that he is an egg. However, it is never said that he is NOT an egg. This means that any character in ANY story could be an egg unless explicitly stated otherwise. Keep that in mind when you read a Jack Reacher novel
The new Detectorists reboot looks decent.
Beautiful. Which season/episode is this?
I'm always bleating on about Play for Today & similar anthology formats & how important they are for television- so this is a public service announcement that there are 13 archive episodes of Screen Two currently on iPlayer:

So, so good. Especially on the big screen.

Chest de Burghster is somehow the greatest post of all time.
If eating scotch eggs in an Austin Allegro had a face.
So what you're saying here is - I'm just thinking out loud, so bear with - what you're BASICALLY saying ... in a nutshell ... is that Nigel Farage made a promise that has turned out to be utter, hollow bullshit? Am I onto something?

@rbgkew.bsky.social @gardenersworldmag.bsky.social Hi there. Quick question - what are these raised deposits/markings on my houseplant? They are quite attractive in their colour and uniformity, but are they problematic? Thank you in advance!
“Excuse me. You don’t happen to sell any Polish produc.. ah, no … it’s cool. I’ve found them. Thanks …”
PHWOOOOOOOOOOOAAARRR!!!! etc.
The great Toby Jones giving distinct late-career Elton John vibes here … “Aaaahm dill dandin’ …”
I absolutely loved Robert Redford. Up there with Lemmon, Stewart and Peck on my definitive, laminated, gilt-edged all-time list. A brilliant actor, a nuanced director, and - let’s cut to the chase - a ridiculously handsome man, who aged very naturally and VERY gracefully. The best.

Hey Mark, I have the dubious pleasure of owning Ait-Nouri, Palmer, Saka, Wirtz and Watkins. Happy-ish to stick with the last two, but would you suggest a -4 (two frees and a third transfer) or a WC? Thank you in advance.
That's true. I've got Rogers for the same reason.
Looks good - well balanced. You prefer Watkins over Wood (and have avoided the double Spurs attack with Solanke). You worried that Emery doesn't seem quite convinced by Watkins? Perhaps a good place holder for Ekitike or Gyokeres?
Almost as good as the Jimmy Nail cover.
Word. The fella is way Popey and then some.
My favourite cartoon of the year so far
I didn't really understand it and I have no sense of whether it was brilliant or utter nonsense. But I LOVED it.
I haven't heard from the Groupon lads in a while - hope they're okay. You sort of grew to accept the fourteen daily emails in a way ...
