Turns out you can just use halloumi as a pie topping. The government can't stop you. 🍜 🍽️
A dish that looks like a shepherd's pie, but it has grilled halloumi instead of potato on the top. There's pomegranate scattered across the top too.

An XKCD comic where one tiny sliver of load-bearing rock is holding up a much larger structure which would collapse without it. The structure is named 'All Liverpool games 25/26' and the load-bearing sliver is named '90th minute goals'.

Catching up on the #F2 feature race. Halfway through and I cannot believe what I'm watching. Full-on bozo behaviour everywhere you look.

What did this guy think he was going to achieve with that tape....

Naming your seventh child Julius Caesar in a desperate last-ditch bid to stop people talking about how you're a cricketer that married a woman called Bowler
Wikipedia screenshot: "Julius Caesar was born in Godalming, Surrey, to Benjamin Caesar, an English professional cricketer, and his wife Anne (née Bowler). Benjamin and Anne had seven children. George, Richard, Lawrence William, Ann, Benjamin, Frederick Bowler and finally Julius. He was brought up in Godalming, a town that then had approximately 4,000 inhabitants, in Surrey, England. He was almost certainly educated in one of the two schools in Godalming at the time, and could read and write with a legible hand."
