Think I recognise that river. Enjoy your visit, it's a beautiful town.

One lesson from the Epstein–Mandelson affair is that we need to stop routinely rehabilitating political careers after serious scandals.

When politicians knowingly engage in grave ethical wrongdoing, that should permanently end their political careers. Being "talented" should not override that.

This mural has gone up in Kingston, ostensibly for Christmas but AI has ensured it's actually to celebrate the return of our dark lord Cthulhu

I love being in the right place at the right time and getting one of the secret "cleaning" drinks from the office coffee machine. #serendipitea ☕

Something about it photo makes it feel like a render from a late 90's PC game.

tfw you realise you're an earthenware dog from the Han Dynasty.

I got a set of these for Christmas - one of my favourite recent gifts 🐈

Haha, my sister was complaining about this exact issue & place last night.

Humphrey’s world: how the Samuel Smith beer baron built Britain’s strangest pub chain Since the 1970s, Humphrey Smith has acquired scores of pubs and historic properties around the UK. But time after time, he has left the buildings empty. Why has he allowed his empire to moulder?
