World Book Day. Joyous trip to school. So many Harry and Hermiones. Rowling must be a billionaire on merchandising rights alone. A few Full Kit Wankers too. Can you claim 'Cole Palmer's Autobiography' for WBD? Disappointing.
More cats as bookstands, please.
In the midst of the repulsive Pete Hegseth's gloating, I would suggest that sinking a ship sailing away from a warzone by torpedo constitutes a war crime, and he'll be appearing at The Hague before he dies.
Friday afternoon. Dozens of 'out of office's. Why does anyone bother? Nobody cares. We know it's the weekend. It would actually be more respectful not to waste my time sending an automatic mail telling me the bleeding obvious.
Also pleased that Sir Oink-A-Lot made it onto the first results page.
You heard it here first.
Hurrah for Hannah the Plumber.
We will see! Bookies do get it wrong. But one thing we can be relatively sure of is that the Tories won't be seeing that £500 deposit again.
Gorton and Denton - Newsnight last night insistent it was a three-way tie. Well ... no. The bookies beg to differ. Greens clear (2/1 on) favourites. Reform 3/1. Labour 4/1. This isn't that close. I realise I may get egg on my face, but ... anyway. Tories now on 600/1, which is always good to see.
There were so many of us, exactly when these emails were being written, expressly working to undo the harms of sexual harassment and sexual discrimination in science. And so many people refused to believe us that any of it was real. It was all real.

Possible Goldcrest in Bedford Square this morning. Got caught pishing (look it up) by a group of tourists. Looked at me like I was a raving lunatic. Sadly the identification was Not Proven.
I found a typo in Brave New World. Probably it's eight thousandth printing. High point of my career; nobody cares. Such is life.
Everyone makes mistakes.
there's a nugget here which helps to explain Brown's character and why he was so incensed by the allegations against Mandelson from their time in office
Thrillingly, the Tories and Lib Dems have both moved out to 500/1, behind Advance, whoever the fuck they are, and the Worker's Party of Britain. Labour now 8/1. Greens still favourites. Pray for a triumph of good over evil.
MIPO is fast becoming my favourite alleged offence.
This is a thrilling find.
Good to see Edward IV's brother the Duke of Clarence back in the news. About time.
Hat's off for a strong cover 👍
'The Palace Declined to Comment' – not sure that'll work this time.
Arrested at his own birthday party. Wow.
The only person who said they were was you. We'll leave this here.
Thrilling - this is more lake than pond. Dragonfly-rich I am sure.
They are a better barometer of the facts on the ground than anything else. Thanks.
Gorton & Denton bookmaker's odds are fascinating. The very impressive Green candidate is 4/9 favourite. Reform's parachuted-in GB News oddball is 3/1. Then the real fun – Labour 5/1, Lib Dems and Tories 150/1. All three will do well to retain their deposit. Remarkable.
Could I please see a picture of your pond?
Ohhhh .... well. This IS an interesting new development.
I'm considering simply ignoring or deleting all emails that don't start with 'Hello Jim', or similar. The fightback against copying-in culture starts here.
I am watching Team Relay luge. You get a two-person luge on one of the legs. It's intimate. Germans seem to be winning. #olympics
A glimpse of spring. Singing Cetti's Warbler on the walk to school. The bird has clearly decided enough is enough and it's time to push on.
A clear need to be told his book's brilliant makes Mandelson look even more pathetic, if that were possible.
