I’m in 🤣

Papageno could easily be read as an incel

Comic of the beetle from the cover of Massive Attack's "Mezzanine" meeting the crab from the cover of The Prodigy's "Fat of the Land".

Hi this joke is for me

This is an absolutely fascinating read

Leaves himself open to highway robbery jokes

With a decent chance that Rochdale or York will end up with 105+ points and not get promoted, surely it’s time for the National League to get (at least) two automatic promotion places plus a playoff?

(I’d say 3+1 though)

Thanks! I *think* I tried Canva a while back and didn't get on with it. A second vote doe Adobe Express - will try it - and will look at Designer too...

WOW 🌍🤯

I'll have a look. I find using Acrobat for anything other than "looking at a document" to be a right faff, but maybe Express is more user-friendly...
(BTW thanks for the RT, has generated a couple of helpful replies!)

Thanks. What I liked about PageMaker was the ability to move things around using maths rather than mouses. Which is probably why I'm not a good designer for anything beyond a coffee morning poster...

Thanks. Although I'm not sure a programme which calls itself GIMP is to be trusted........

Hivemind question... I use Microsoft Publisher to whip up quick posters/leaflets for Town Hall events. It's not as good as PageMaker (RIP) but a million times better than trying to design on Word. Publisher is being withdrawn in the Autumn 😖; what can I use instead that's simple and quick to learn?

The vetting was not the only reason the appointment of Mandelson was wrong. It wasn't even the main reason.

An all-time classic entry in the hall of fame 'does the person saying this realise how damning it is?' quotes:

Strong agree, the best set of the specialist “Brain Of”s I’ve tried. (Brain of Gaming may have been sensational for all I know.)

That’s bovine Tim Burgess 🤯

That’s interesting. Having only seen you on Xoom, you have the air of a tall person

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.

This was a fun 2 minutes

I’ve never fixed a luxury item. Solar powered coffee maker or Whisky Galore levels of whisky, I suppose

Who *hasn’t* done this?

We Read Johnny and the Bomb Podcast Episode · Eleanor & Alasdair Read That · 19 April · 43min

Another pleasant time with @eleanormorton.bsky.social and @misterabk.bsky.social and a classic children’s book. Extra layer of interest for me this time as Johnny and the Bomb is the first of their set texts which I have not read.

Are they burning the flag? 🤔😳

Leibniz: But let us set our differences on the matter of calculus aside for a minute. Perhaps you would care for a biscuit? I have some delicious chocolate-backed confections, far superior to those fig-based monstrosities that have become so popular recently.

Newton: now hang on just a minute…

The Madagascar films have made it timeless 😏

My mum was and remained a lefty, Dad went from Telegraph to soft left as a pensioner, in-laws are both moving left in their 80s 🤷🏻‍♂️

Blimey, even when I was single I’d change the sheets weekly 😳

That’s because he stood as “Corbyn but you’d be pleased if your daughter brought him home from uni” rather than “whatever the heck he’s governing as”
