In fairness,

Breaking my silence round these parts to say I'm currently at a loose end for work. If anyone knows of any (paid) writing or editing gigs they think I might be a decent fit for, I would appreciate being kept in mind

Roger Tichborne as a young man. He is slim, slightly mournful-looking, and has an unimpressive moustache

The Tichborne Claimant, probably Arthur Orton, possibly Tomas Castro, and probably not Roger Tichborne – a very overweight man with sideburns and a cigar in his mouth, wearing a three-piece suit and a watchchain

Well, it’s 172 years today since slim francophone Roger Charles Doughty-Tichborne was last seen alive – a few months before he was presumed dead, and about 11 years before a 27-stone cockney butcher turned up from Australia claiming to be this long-lost heir to a fortune... 🧵

Either he didn't know something he should have, in which case he's inept and should quit. Or he did know and let it happen anyway, in which case he's corrupt and should quit.

Of course, they didn't achieve mainstream success until renaming themselves Angrystarmer Rex. Such a waste of a perfectly good Rolls Royce.

Speaking as a Pompey fan, he certainly knows how to deal with corrupt practices.

I want to be loved… | Girl on the Net I have spent my whole life yearning to love and be loved, and most of my life despising myself for that desire. What would happen if I acknowledged it?

“Maybe acknowledging this desire will help me make peace with who I am, rather than constantly berating myself for yearning after something that hasn’t yet turned up.”

"Not our war" latest 🏆.

He added: "I believe very strongly that women's wards should be for biological women. What do we do about tha biological female who is a trans man, looks, sounds, presents, lives, his life as a man is biologically female? We wouldn't put him on a women's ward.

21.00 GAVIN & STASI The course of true-love continues to be bumpy as the couple argue over weekend plans. He wants a quiet night in with a takeaway and a takeaway and a DVD, whereas she wants to round up any political dissidents and subject them to intimidation and torture to crush dissent. Warning, this programme contains several distressing scenes of James Corden.

Friday! New CEEFAUX! Exclamation marks!

I'm up at a normal time of day for once. Good morning, butterflies who live in my phone.

Why is it, when it was Starmer who made the decision to appoint Mandelson, that everyone else is having to resign?

A colour, live-action image. A tall man with long hair and a muscular body stands, gripping another man by the hair. The other man appears to be kneeling, and is gripping a pair of wrestling ring ropes to pull himself up. The camera angle makes both men appear naked.

Hey, if you’re out there and you haven’t been blocked yet, you’re a fucking cunt. Imagine sending people abuse because they didn’t like two things on a two hour wrestling show. You’re lucky stick hasn’t put you on blast because I fucking would have.

God save us from TK’s strongest soldiers.

Do you think there's a chance we get a DF next week? In the clip I saw, MJF's shoulders didn't look particularly down.

Yes. But the idea isn't, as far as I know, in common usage in British English.

"Garbage time" in this case means the end of a sports match, when the result has long been decided, and the players involved are either checked out or driving up their stats. We're all four-nil down in the 79th minute of a football match, waiting for the referee to blow the whistle and send us home.
