Andrew is a sort of non-prince now, a… well, I’m sure there’s some sort of portmanteau word that would describe him well.

The Epstein Ballroom it is
Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

The BBC are accidentally running the subtitles to Mrs Marple over the Mercury Prize, and it’s rather wonderful. A few of lines could plausibly have been written by Jarvis.

They didn’t just NOT give Trump the Nobel Peace Prize, they wrote a citation that reads like an anti-Trump rallying cry.
(He’s gonna extra-tariff Norway now, isn’t he?)

'When authoritarians seize power, it is crucial to recognize courageous defenders of freedom who rise and resist,' the Norwegian Nobel Committee said as it announced Maria Corina Machado as the winner of the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize

There used to be an "indice de performance" in the Monte Carlo rally, which rewarded the car which performed the best in relation to its engine size. In football, Oliver Glasner's Crystal Palace would win it almost every round of the PL. Chapeau.

In Crystal Palace’s all time history we have now won one more game that we have lost (1776 vs 1775), our goals for and against are equal (6642).

One of these rich dudes invested in a food company with all proceeds going to kids in need. The other started Sundance Institute, boosting the lives of countless artists. Hey modern rich dudes, don't be a typical greedy AI crypto-prick, be like these two.

I live in Beckenham, a leafy suburb of south east London, a place where David Bowie lived for several years.
Beckenham doesn’t have any decent kebab shops. I put this down to the fact that no one has yet had the vision to open one called “We Could Be Gyros”.

Autumn's here when it's #GreenHopSeason. Brewers start to produce "wet" hop beers fresh from the fields. Hop Projects & Collectives Manchester to Bristol harvest the bines they've grown. If you can get to Kent, heart of famous hop fields, Spa Valley Railway Beer Fest will include 30 Green Hop beers.

Rayner is gone so where is the media outrage at Farage and his taxing dodging scams? Home bought in his partners name avoiding stamp duty, GB News pay via a company to avoid 40% tax rate on his 92k pay from them.
