News article of the week:
Pensioners house so hot that the police thought they'd got a grow on. Last time I visited my parents, their house was so hot, it changed my standpoint on the removal of Winter Fuel Allowance.

John Cooper Clarke just mentioned on 6 music that "Clinton's Cards isn't going out of business". In fact, it entered administration in 2012 and 2019, & as recently as 2023, the company appointed insolvency advisors, & looked to close 38 of 179 shops.
Doesn't make for such a pithy statement though.

I'd like to see some verified stats on how many times the word "literally" was used incorrectly during the series.
My estimate; literally 1244 times.
Minah literally said "My head's literally a cabbage".

Today's thought: did "they" call Shaggy Mr Boombastic prior to his 1995 single, or was it self-coined, like Dave Lee Travis calling himself The Hairy Cornflake?

Being in a pub when the local primary school teaching staff have clocked off for Christmas is to witness the scenes of the most appalling depravity.
