I’m not saying it’s definitely an omen, but… #sixnations

Found on the 13yo’s floor, half scrumpled and discarded. Oh to be so good at art that this is disposable… 🤣

Saw this in Oxford today. Some folk probably think it’s a nice thing to do. I just think it’s a bit of a….

….Tolkien gesture.

First butterfly of the year spotted in Oxford. And it’s a yellow one.

“…as everyone knows, if the first butterfly you see is yellow the summer will be a happy one.”

Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.

Something stinks around this… CEO & CFO of City & Guilds charity sell it to an organisation headquartered in Cyprus, start working for that company after the sale, and get massive bonuses.

Btw if anyone with Ray-Ban glasses is recording you, just pull up a picture of the ISIS flag on your phone and hold it up to their glasses. It'll permanently ban their account almost immediately

The most annoying thing in the world - I used to be able to search in the safari iOS bar, and it would bring me search results. Now it takes me to pages. Infuriating.

Absolutely THIS. Much, much more of this. Call out the bullshit, and this is bullshit.

Don't pander to the swivel eyed loons. Call it out, hard. More of this from every party (that isn't fascism FC).

I spent two years failing to solve the riddle of being invited into multiple clients work things. Just couldn’t get regular access, nor fix it.

This is like Tati on Los Espookys selling an Herbalite-like product that will ensure you "gain, lose or maintain weight"

A knowledgable English gentleman on our touch rugby group referred to Henry Pollock as ‘the ruck inspector’ during the #ENGvIRE #sixnations game at the weekend, and I just can’t unthink that now. He does have a habit of standing at rucks and… just looking at them.
