How old do Beryl and Mick look to you? They seem sprightly. Younger than my parents but perhaps older than they look. Maybe 70?
That makes them 52 when the iPhone came out.
There is a rapidly decreasing excuse for being "not good with technology"

There are two specialist software products. One costs £180k over three years and does everything that we want really well. The other costs £250k over five years, and does most of what we want in a clumsy way as it's not really for that.

We're watching All's Fair for giggles.
1. There is a lot of walking through big rooms
2. All these rooms are incredibly expensive and utterly pointless. Big, empty, useless rooms of nothing.
3. The constant dance-chill beats are terrible.
4. The script is terrible.

This is an amazing story because firstly it implies we were all waiting to hear what the Other Bloke From MasterChef has to say about it all. And secondly because "breaking his silence" was, in fact, him saying he's got nothing to say and has moved on.

The cat just stomoed in, shouting at me. He needed me to take him to his biscuits and point at them, as reassurance that they were indeed for him.
Which is odd, as he once needed no such reassurance when I momentarily left a tin of corned beef unattended.

If they're going to start insisting that these films are one continuous story that must follow from each other, rather than a series of standalone films, I look forward to the new Bond being 96 years old.
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

It takes an obscene amount of hubris to lecture the BBC when you have The Telegraph’s record on truth-telling.
Some of the paper’s errors this year are so bad they’re almost laughable 👇🏻

So hang on. A woman who can't actually knit is on a show to find "Britain's Best Knitter"? Did they not have enough applications from people who can actually knit or something? #GameOfWool

After 8 years and the arrival of Next Door's Cat, coupled with the inclement weather, this little madam has decided that she is no longer an outdoor cat thank you very much. I have therefore had to buy her a litter tray and all the faff that entails.
She has the title The Princess for a reason.

People don't hate living there. People hate the overwhelming number of tourists who visit this one street (for it is only one street with no other attractions).
I wonder if the monthly articles across REACH publications which hype it up have anything to do with that?

What Rosalind Franklin truly contributed to the discovery of DNA’s structure
Franklin was no victim in how the DNA double helix was solved. An overlooked letter and an unpublished news article, both written in 1953, reveal that she was an equal player.
