Eating soup while drunk is fascinating because it either means you are at the absolute lowest point in your existence, or at a wedding

It's all delightful, looking forward to the playlist. Especially like the Eurovision entries after that snotty Guardian piece this week about the UK entry. Have you listened to many of this year's songs yet?

Fuzzy memories and hard facts: An SC accuser's claims against Epstein, Trump examined An alleged victim of Jeffrey Epstein gave FBI agents true accounts of her time growing up in SC. Claims she made about Donald Trump remain unsubstantiated.

"A woman who claims she was abused as a minor by both Epstein and Trump has given the FBI vivid accounts that include aspects of her life corroborated by the The Post and Courier through public records ... she claimed Trump forced her to commit a sex act on him sometime around 1984."

It's amazing what colours can do innit. Just googled them, and they still seem to be embracing the colour

Same colour as my primary school blazer, so this just sent a shudder down my spine that I was just about to be dragged to a church for another boring sermon.

Does everyone have an area of their town that does the births/birthdays written on bed sheets, or is it just a Cardiff Tremorfa thing?

β€˜Would you like me to cry now?’: Louis Theroux on the manosphere, marriage and misunderstandings He’s television’s most daring documentary-maker, known for asking questions others wouldn’t. But Theroux doesn’t seem to like it when the tables are turned

This is a fascinating (extremely well crafted) and almost upsettingly hostile interview from a broadcaster I have previously admired.

One day the Guardian will review the UK song as an entry into a competition, and not as a grievance put upon them by their editor.

Oh, and peppero-naaay is rhymed with something sal-taaaay.

No, I believe what the MOD that follows international law tells me.

USAF are not undertaking offensive bombing FROM UK BASES. I'd ask you for evidence, but so far you've made stuff up and obfuscated rather than deal with fact, so enjoy mutesville.

Cool, just keep shouting at me things that are not related instead of understanding your original comment was ignorant, shows you totally are worth replying to.

All the missions are pre checked by the UK government to make sure they are defensive only, smart arse.

I like Harry Styles's new album more than his last. This probably means it is his least commercial album or something.

If I did run (which I don't) this is probably what I'd listen to.

It's been quite refreshing to see a welcomed response from my timeline, now lets hope Europe enjoys it as much.

I hold Dude's opinion highly,they are right in some cases.

But I disagree. LMNC knows the competition he's going into,polishing has brought a strong package of audio & visual that's distinctly him and distinctly Eurovision.

Oddly my TL of people who know him say this is totally him and like it.

This is entertaining. We are sending someone interesting to Eurovision with an actually fun track. A small ray of sunshine.
