They missed a trick not calling this "Cher and Cher Alike"

It's all very Bake Off looking! And always happy to see someone in North America using an electric kettle.

Looking back, ashamed of my typos here. In my defence it was early.

Interestingly, the ingredients list for Canada and the UK are the same. I suspect that's general consistent and on the US version, in it's fluorescent red colour, is any different

Derek Randall and, most excitingly, Doc Cox /s

After my year left, the head teacher had a breakdown and, soon after, they knocked the school down. Not sure what I did.

Is your Apple AirTag facing the right way? With the release of the second generation of Apple AirTag it got me thinking about how we use them and how they’re built. As an example, here’s a screenshot of wallets that have an AirTag pocket on the front of them. What do you notice about the AirTags? They all show the metal side facing […]

If Rotten Tomatoes didn't already know they had a bot problem, this may be the proof they need.

Chefs kiss to the person with the bag with a hand cream and 2 knives who, when I asked if they lived in North America, said "Yes, but the continent, not the country"

Similarly, the Lego subs where people from the US post up their home made Lego recreations of full size guns.

Really enjoying the "What's in the Bag" sub on Reddit, where people are amazed that I immediately know when they live in the US.

Clue: It's the knives and, sometimes, guns that you think is "normal" to carry in a daytime bag.

I'll save you reading The Guardian. "IT'S ALL RACHEL'S FAULT. SHE'S RUINED THIS ONCE COSY SHOW. FOR REASONS."

I am outraged that a show which pits individuals against each other to lie and deceive, with a prize of over Β£70k, has people being unkind to each other.

@katdoesmaths.bsky.social Hi Kat πŸ‘‹ I found you after listening to the More or Less piece about The Traitors.
I got here via your website, but just wanted to note that your Bluesky profile link is invalid. Found you anyway!

EA customer service don’t know what they’re talking about A strong title, I’ll admit. But, as you’ll see, I’m not wrong. I’ve been a massive fan of Battlefield 4 since it first came out. I bought it for the PlayStation 3 and then upgraded to the PlayStation 4 version, when I got that. I played it for thousands of hours and hit the top […]

It's always confused me why Windows, MacOS, etc., all come bundled with stock apps. It must be a US obsession - I'm very sure the majority of people in the UK don't get two hoots about the stock price of businesses.

And their website has fuck-it-i-am-not-staying energy thanks to the ads. Totally unreadable.

After that Harriet deserved to leave. Her evidence was terrible and her behaviour that day was horrible.

Fury as β€˜miserable git’ destroys five-year-old’s snowman with shovel A five-year-old boy was left heartbroken after a β€œmiserable git” neighbour savagely destroyed his snowman. The grumpy pensioner who lives next door was caught on camera hacking the four…

Maybe it's just me, but I can't get an angry at someone from clearing a snowman from... checks notes... the middle of a pavement. I'd have done the same.

Find My Update The best part about blogging is the comments, and after I posted "I wish that when you use Find My to find your iPhone, it would also flash the flashlight, which would be great for finding it in a bag or a dark room." Michael Wender and David Artiss jumped in that it's already there! Apple support says if you touch and hold it will flash the light…
