Vulture, who has been hanging out with a bad crowd: Dad, what do we eat?

Vulture dad, who is also the band Kansas:

It's almost like they weren't even trying this year.

Mark Goodier's surname comes from a risky 7 in Countdown that didn't turn out to be in the dictionary. #TOTP

These 1999 #TOTP episodes remind me why I stopped watching in 1998.

When we were young he probably was "old".

Try supporting Middlesbrough right now mate.

Shallow fry it. Seriously. They become like tiny roast potatoes.

Or like any computer hacker in a stock photo.

I'm not sure the people doing this are that heavily invested in romance.

I had some people round for dinner last night, and I tried to impress them with a sauce created from vodka, gravy and nitrous oxide. But all I've done is make myself an absolut laughing stock.

Not sure about this Jason & The Argonauts reboot.

And some of those bands have none of the original members left. So you might as well see a cover band.

As long as they treat the music with respect, what's wrong with that? Live music is great, it doesn't always need to be played by whomever wrote it or made it famous. Every great orchestra is basically a cover band.

On the one hand, bloody hell, Boro - 70% possession and 20 shots. On the other, pleased I put a few quid on Pompey when they were 7/1. #UTB

Cor. Those parachutes. Bet the Tunnocks Teacakes people paid through the fucking nose for that.

If the music's good enough the lyrics hardly matter. So many examples of that, from bands with terrible lyrics to great operas in whatever language you like.

Yep, just two other actors between me and Dcotor Who, and all I've done is a student short film.

I went and saw Project Hail Mary.
A guy came in with his service dog and the dog sat there the whole time just concentrating on the movie.
Afterwards I told the guy I was amazed your dog watched the movie like that.
He replied, me too especially because he hated the book.

I genuinely can't stop thinking about the Iranian kids who spent yesterday wondering if they were all going to die and what that day will do to them for the rest of their lives.

I started with cryptics in some of the more "low-brow" papers - cryptics whose workings were a little bit easier to work out from first principles, or from the solutions printed the next day. As the standards I wanted from my newspapers got higher, so did the standards I got from crosswords.

It's definitely a bit of both; I find the Tyne Tunnel massively less busy during school holidays and school traffic will be a very, very small proportion of that.

"Wolf nipple chips, get 'em while they're hot, they're lovely..."

the Weezer "Buddy Holly" video is a (now 3-decade-old) 90s artifact nostalgically referencing a 70s artifact that itself is nostalgically referencing the 50s and i have a headache

Who called them coffee shops and not Costa mongers?

This this this this this. Ideas are easy and cheap and ten-a-penny. Turning those ideas into actual work is the valuable thing.

Trump is the only bull who carrries around his own china shop with him.

That's a good argument for metered poetry over free verse. When I've tried to write in free verse it doesn't always feel like it's working; there's no structure to base it on.

Since 2018 Italy have qualified for more men’s cricket world cups than men’s football world cups.

Touchel’s #England has only played 3 teams in the world top 20 rankings

Senegal 1-3
Uruguay 1-1
Japan 0-1

So glad we hounded Southgate out, he couldn’t do it against the “big teams” and always played “negative football” 🤨
