I went down a rabbit hole there. We were all SO YOUNG!

I’d like them to be animals from British folklore. Black Shuck glaring at you from a fiver; Nessie gambolling across the £20…

Everyone knows exactly what they’re doing and who gets to be the over-actor and when. It’s a perfect wee gem.

Tremors is brilliant.

Yeah. I now hop on the Eurocity Direct, which only stops at Antwerp and Brussels Zuid, so no more announcements (and people aren’t allowed to board at Antwerp going south!)

It is fabulous. And has three levels that are, unlike French stations, sufficiently well signed that I regard ten minutes to interchange from bottom to top to be plenty.

He then repeated it again, and warned everyone not to get off at Centraal. He had a completely exhausted voice that said he was fed up of people complaining about this. (I had a similar case once, helping a couple of tourists, who would not believe me, even though they’d asked me for help.)

Just before it stopped running, I was on the old Intercity Direct from the Netherlands where the train manager would announce the upcoming stations in three languages as it approached Brussels. The English section was three times as long as the train manager repeated the station for the Eurostar.

It was glorious, and I’m saying that as an Irishwoman.

I’ve been using the same username for 30 years now. *stares at keyboard*

I think of it more as “cat lady goals”.

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

Kev. I hate to say this, but you’re a fecking genius.

The rat will be rather worried. “Kill the secretary, not the rat!”

I feel it would be even quicker. “Monstrous regiment? Moi? Hai-ya!” and Knox goes flying.

I would also pay to see her vs John Knox, but my first thought was the rat.

A friend has just typed “Rizzo” instead of “Rizzio” and I now want The Muppets Do 16th Century Scotland.

I am especially here for Miss Piggy v John Knox. He doesn’t stand a chance.

BREAKING: Sharp's Brewery in Cornwall, maker of UK's best-selling Cask ale, Doom Bar, to close, 50 jobs lost. US-Canadian owner Molson Coors, say it's financially unsustainable. Meanwhile MC investing heavily in relaunch of Carling Black Label. Fate of Burton brewed bottled version unknown #BskyBeer

Possibly a reference to Cocker’s stage invasion during Michael Jackson’s performance at the Brits?

This is the most incredible footage of blue whales I’ve ever seen

Slightly earlier - Brotherhood of Man won Eurovision in 1976, and this was 1972.

Booking.com has a “private room” option.

I found mine on the foreshore where three seas meet.

You’re a lot more restrained than me. I’d have horsed into them as soon as I’d taken one photo that subsequently turned out to be a blurry photo of my finger.

Used to make them at home as a teenager. Kidneys from Boscos, ancient tin of Sharwoods in the cupboard.

I remain very disappointed that not only is it hard to find a butcher that does kidney, most remove the film these days, which makes coring much more difficult.

Oooh, devilled kidneys. Lambs’ kidneys are also amazing fried with curry powder. Proper old-school Sharwoods for preference.

In *Yorkshire*.

Ok I have far too much to do today to spend more than 2 minutes on this but here’s my political cartoon of the day, please enjoy

UK women’s magazines had a blank page in the back with a box that said “this page left blank in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Ireland”. It was the small ads page that listed abortion clinics, among others.

My sister took me to see it in the cinema when it was unbanned!
