Pete Townshend lived here. So did Ronnie Wood. Hayley Mills grew up here, and the Rolling Stones and Monty Python's Flying Circus recorded here. Where am I?

A photo of the front cover of issue 1673 of Private Eye magazine, with the caption “on shelves now.” The main headline reads “HUNGARY: ORBAN LOSES HISTORIC ELECTION.” The central image shows Viktor Orbán standing on stage alongside JD Vance, both raising their arms in front of a cheering crowd with Hungarian and US flags in the background. A speech bubble reads, “Who says America can’t achieve regime change?” A strapline at the bottom reads “HUGE TRIUMPH FOR MAGA (SURELY MAGYAR? ED.).”

The new Private Eye is out now.

I'm sorry the world has lost Glen Baxter. One of a kind. #GlenBaxter #farewell
I think the reason AI propagandists are so flustered by the fact that no real writer wants to use their idiotic tools is that they themselves don't enjoy writing. They see it as a boring arduous chore to be avoided, while real writers actually enjoy writing and actually care about the quality of it.
There's a FACE in this knot, seen on the wooden wall of a Cornish restaurant. Is it David Bowie? I'm calling it "Knot On Wood".

Definitely. Where is he at the moment? Hopefully suiting up for Uranus.
This is a long-established right-wing Christian position. I once heard a sermon in Roswell, New Mexico (of all places), in which a preacher identified aliens as demons or biblical "Nephilim".
Not the best title for a children's book.

I can't drive either. I don't have the skills and I need to keep the roads safe for others!
I've resolved to do this every day now – starting today.

After I buttered some bread, I suddenly saw this face in it!
It wasn't just me: when I took the picture, my phone suggested I "try Portrait Mode".

Utterly fed up with people "doubling down" on this, that and the other. I double over whenever I hear it now. It won't be long before people are tripling and trebling down, and I'm going to quadruple down on all of them.

Were you ever naughty like this?

Questionably, too.
Here's a recent email that "got me barnacled". What??!??
When I read it, I was "in extraordinary eudaemonia and upper intoxicant". What???!
It's all "written" by Artificial Stupidity, of course.
POP FACT: La Isla Bonita is of course Madonna’s tribute to the lovely and fragrant Isla St Clair.
It is a coincidence that ‘emoji’ and ‘emoticon’ sound alike.
‘Emoji’ is a Japanese term meaning ‘pictograph’ (‘e’ is “picture, drawing” + ‘moji’ is “letter, character”).
‘Emoticon’ is ‘emotion’ + ‘icon.’
