"There's definitely a benefit at bedtime in putting your phone in Airplane mode"

"What is it?"

"It's a setting on your phone that switches off WiFi and Bluetooth but that's not important right now"

This is true.
The husband just found me having a little cry in my studio.
He’s making me a hot Vimto and I’m having a word with myself.

Have a look at my website and please repost.

Grateful to Facebook memories for reminding me a lovely moment from the golden age of Twitter

This latest instalment of The Epstein Files has reminded me, not for the first time, how so much of the way society is ordered rests upon an assumption that the rich & powerful are rich & powerful because they're smarter than the rest of us, and this is quite plainly not true at all.
If you're wondering why they'd run a cover up that looked so much like a clumsy cover up when there were so many better ways to elide the facts, remember that these are the stupidest people in America

I've said it before but if my lottery numbers came up I'd start every day by putting on a brand new pair of socks

I think about 99% of Zack Polanski's appeal is that he comes across as someone who would say "oh for fuck's sake" in public and not feel the need to issue a grovelling apology.

Just seen the Southern Lights. They’re just like the Northern Lights except they don’t stop to say hello to you.

This week's episode is live. We effectively ignore last Thursday and concentrate on Killie, our medical team and ticket allocations .

The RGC of the week is a real reach.

There will be a Collective/AGM special next week

"If I didn't love football I'd fucking hate it"
My old man wasn’t there today because he’s ill (thank fuck as I was still getting the odd, “Fuck me, what had you been drinking last Sunday, Turps?”) but I sold his ticket back to City and my Dad gets about £20 back as it’s a concession.

I asked the lad in his seat what he paid. £250.

Is "The author of the wizard books" the right answer?

I've had a decent run but there was no way I was making it four visits in a row without buying a cardigan...
