Just tried to pay for my pick 'n' mix at Cineworld with a fifty pound note & got told they don't accept them?

So I had to give her two twenties & a ten instead.

Can we endure another 90-plus minutes of watching out-of-form players trying in vain to play themselves back into form, while all the time losing confidence and focus? Will Slot rest some of them in order to bring them back refreshed and energised for the last 3-4 games?

I’d take a draw tonight.

I see three ships
Trump threatening Canada: "I spoke to Governor Trudeau ... they don't have military protection, and you take a look at what's going on out there ... people are in danger ... they need our protection."

This man is deranged and psychotic!

Starmer first out of the blocks for Royal Ascot with his Starlink Fascinator.

This is fake duck. It’s lucky it wasn’t named by the people who called fake bacon ‘Facon’.

2024: Nigel Farage tells the people of Clacton that he will fight for them

2025: The TUC interview Clacton voters and point out that Nigel Farage voted against the Employment Rights Bill going through parliament, they were not impressed

I'm as guilty as the next hand-wringing bleeding heart, but if you could harness the energy and angst generated by liberal democrats on here, it would be sufficient to fire Tango and Cash into the next solar system. #fuckoffTrump #dooneMusk

Trump's proposed ethnic cleansing of Gaza to allow him and Netanyahu to profit from real estate deals/the undying affection of Zionist settlers is an affront to democracy and decency. Both are stains on humanity. I am not optimistic that other world leaders will lift a finger to stop this.

I see Jacob Collier picked up another Grammy. He’s unique. He makes a genuine visceral and intellectual connection through his music that I haven’t previously experienced #JacobCollier #grammy

Trump now banning pictures of women in the National Cryptologic Museum Hall of Fame? Can that be for real? It’s more like Afghanistan every day. The Taniban. #Trump #Musk

The Welsh told the Saxons this hill was called "pen" (meaning "hill"). The Saxons added their word for hill, "tor," and called it Torpen (hill hill).

Later the Norse added their world for hill. So it became Torpen Haugr (Hill Hill Hill).

Now the English call it Torpenhow Hill (Hill Hill Hill Hill)

As an #LFC supporter, today's games hold very little jeopardy, though the tribal antipathy towards Spurs and United will generate some interest. Just back from the barbers, where their insistence on using a black cape emphasises the depressing reality of my hair getting whiter by the day.

I'm still waiting with extreme trepidation for the tsunami of '1-ingredient Chilli con Carne Recipe' shorts. I have the theme from Jaws playing in my head.

Tsimikas and Jota once again proving they should be automatic first choice. We continue to self-sabotage by playing Robertson, Diaz, and dare I say it, Alisson.

I love this album. It definitely presaged the process of getting older, whereby it sounds like more and more people are talking in Liz Fraser-speak until you ask them to repeat louder. "eh? A walnut safe?"
5/365 - Cocteau Twins 'Heaven or Las Vegas'

Absolutely loved this, so much so that I put it on again as soon as it had ended. Another one that I'm not sure how I've got to this point in life without hearing it. Reminded me a lot of Star, who I listened to a lot back in the 00s. Excellent.

A beautiful frosty day on the heath outside my house this morning. I'm a sucker for an underfoot crunch.
