Right. That’s that done. Let us never talk of this again.

An old tombstone that reads: DEWEY 1898 - 1910. "He was only a cat" but he was human enough to be a great comfort in hours of loneliness and pain.

For #Caturday: a poignant photo by Paul Koudounaris of a beloved pet's tombstone. Despite popular belief, the cat's name was not Dewey. This was the surname of the cat's family.

"'He was only a cat,' but he was human enough to be a great comfort in hours of loneliness and pain."

Thank you again Ian x

Have not heard shufty for ages, great word

The BBC Scotland commentary for Kenny McLean’s halfway line goal is glorious. Stuff of dreams. 🔥

Congratulations #Scotland, see you at the World Cup.

That neck break sound though... great production, but traumatising!

Attention Norfolk folk.

If the kids come round Trick or Treating tonight, and you don't want to open the door, just shout 'Prince Andrew Lives here now' through the letterbox to them and problem solved.

Biiiiiiiig stretch

Love this! 😂😂😂

“Ooh, can you put it on speaker? I want to hear 911 laugh at you.”

BBC under fresh pressure over extent of Reform UK coverage Nigel Farage’s party featured in considerably more News at Ten bulletins than Lib Dems over six months, study finds

Less than one percent of seats in Parliament. But featured in a quarter of news bulletins.

That's some impartiality right there BBC 👀

Loving the alt text too

The inside of a shed bar. There are optics on the wall and drinks chalked up on the blackboard and glasses hanging from the ceiling

The inside of a shed bar. There are optics on the wall and drinks chalked up on the blackboard and glasses hanging from the ceiling. There are bottles on a table in the corner and ice buckets on the floor

The bar from the outside. There is a cocktail menu on the door, a wreath made with lemons above the door and a large bucket of citrus fruit just inside it

I’m not sure how many days it took in the end to turn the garden shed into a bar, maybe 7? It was a huge hit. Can’t find the photo of it in use on the day though
