A bottle of WKD Blue please, mate

Timtams are sickly sweet and Penguins are vastly superior.

A photo of a television paused on a scene from TWIN PEAKS where the giant’s head is just out of frame and a cat has popped its head up from behind so it looks like its head is on the giant’s body.

IT IS HAPPENING, AGAIN.

Donald Trump blather.

The Lydians who were to bring these gifts to the temples were instructed by Croesus to inquire of the oracles whether he was to send an army against the Persians and whether he was to add an army of allies. [2] When the Lydians came to the places where they were sent, they presented the offerings, and inquired of the oracles, in these words: “Croesus, king of Lydia and other nations, believing that here are the only true places of divination among men, endows you with such gifts as your wisdom deserves. And now he asks you whether he is to send an army against the Persians, and whether he is to add an army of allies.” [3] Such was their inquiry; and the judgment given to Croesus by each of the two oracles was the same: namely, that if he should send an army against the Persians he would destroy a great empire. And they advised him to discover the mightiest of the Greeks and make them his friends. Herodotus, with an English translation by A. D. Godley. Cambridge. Harvard University Press. 1920.

Wealthy leader, threatening to attack Persia, announcing that a great empire will be destroyed if he does, and not realizing that the prophecy is ambigous about which empire.

I have many criticisms for the writers, but in particular could they stop plagiarizing from Herodotus?

Typical nonsense from Samuel. If De Zerbi had recognised the seriousness of what Greenwood had been accused of, and VAWG generally, but said he personally believed in giving people a second chance, I suspect there would be little controversy. But he didn't. He framed Greenwood as the victim

The pop-up was in insta, not Threads.

Insta without the ads is actually pretty pleasant and is the sole reason for me subscribing - although, as you say, you have to be okay with them sucking up all your metadata.

No more Threads for me, then (not that I ever used it much anyway)

This has to be the worst rendition of Baker Street I've ever heard.

A framed picture of a dog having some kind of existential breakdown behind a copy of A Decade in the Lives and a 💩-shaped Pez dispenser

I can’t compete on that front, so here’s your book between picture of a dog having some kind of existential crisis and and 💩-shaped Pez dispenser.

I hope the team are feeling awful about potentially making Robyn sad.

I’ve stopped posting links to each track for my daily playlists because they were annoying me, and if they were annoying me, I’m sure they were annoying you too.

But I am still adding a track a day. If you’re still interested, you know where to look.

Is this you saying that you're planning to bomb London?

So, about those Eid prayers in London...

"What's the highest thing in Trafalgar Square?"

"Nelson's column, innit?"

"And the highest thing on the column?"

"Nelson."

"And on Nelson?"

"His hat."

"And the highest thing on his hat?"

"That bit that sticks up."
