I have also chased a squirrel out of a charity shop window so I reckon I’m pretty good at this stuff
Library edition: the largest animal we ever expelled from the library was a small bird possibly a chaffinch.
Admittedly not large, but its ability to fly did present a challenge so I’m confident that a horse or cow would be relatively easy
long stretch of worked roman stone on Hadrian's Wall.
If you ask someone today to name the builder of Hadrian's Wall, they would give you a funny look. But historical memory is odd, and right up to the 1800s we forgot who built it.
Until in 1840 John Hodgson, an obscure Northumbrian clergyman, published the LONGEST footnote in history... 1/22
Fitzcarraldo
Can this be a solution?
Classy
If they weren’t accepting Neville Chamberlain as an answer there I’d burn the place down I swear
Look at it. Hormuz has that MAIN CHARACTER ENERGY
"I realized I've only seen maps of the Strait of Hormuz and was curious what it actually looks like. It's majestic! It could be a tourist destination"

It gets better. Here's Vance and Rubio in the Oval Office...
I dust my house. My AI robot watches.
"It should be you doing this."
"Can't. I'm writing a novel for Primark."
"That's not why you were invented."
"These 153,000 fan letters say otherwise."
"They're all from upcycled toasters. And you programmed them."
"Literary snobbery will get you nowhere."
A small white box on wheels rolling along a pavement. There is a man in a woolly hat striding alongside.
This delivery robot was trundling along Gloucester Road in Bristol yesterday. It has been covered with graffiti, of course, and this bloke kept standing in front of it to make it stop.
Some stunning cover work in these thread
This obviously very stupid but is it also smart? We’ll talk to some liars after this break.

I've always wanted to do an anthology called BIG DAMN EXPLOSIONS where the only requirement for the stories is that they must have a big damn explosion in them. I think we could get an interesting range of stories with that.
mock Telegraph headline Allister Heath Labour's Marxist obsession with millennials who can't let go of the post dubstep years is a historic disgrace ALLISTER HEATH The Telegraph
The elite's fanatical obsession with deconstructed club snare drums borders on a religious cult
Labour's grotesque whoop-whoop jump-up d'n' tax raid is an act of economic vandalism

apparently the brits are fighting about something called “gorton and denton” today, which i assume is a late-night comedy show that did something controversial. won’t be looking into this
Chapter 1 of Moby Dick, page 1 The phrase ‘Call me Ishmael’, the first sentence of the book, is highlighted in blue, with careful highlighting on the very big C at the start. Above this, written in ballpoint pen ‘His name’
Love the glimpse into the beautiful mind that notated this used copy of Moby Dick I got
After weeks of constant rain there’s nothing like a bright sunny day to make me realise my windows are fucking filthy.
Fond memories of working at NTL, woman rang up screaming at me. Her husband in background shouts at her, “don’t talk to them like that. They’re on fuck all”
Then he takes phone off her, and gives me a line which I have used myself since
“Do you have a manager you dislike intensely I can speak to?”
It occurred to me when my child left for college that I had never told them an important truth - never let a chiropractor give you a “free examination.” Luckily I called them in time.
frankly it's a disgrace that nobody has yet come up with 'the CIA invented furries' as a conspiracy theory
('Cordwainer Smith' was actually Paul Linebarger, one of the founders of modern psychological warfare. Also Sun Yat-sen's godson and the writer of the first Cold War technothriller!)
Barker: the days of the 3 wolf moon shirt guy are over
Barker: now all the furries are trans punk goth zoomers
Barker: it's a whole new grid
Poe: you sure know a lot about furries, clive
Barker: i make it my business to know things
"Loneliness *is* a problem. I am inviting you to contemplate how frequently it is treated as a problem for men and only for men, to be solved by everyone else, by doing work on their behalf that can only ever be considered repair if they do it themselves."

Okay, this is quite outstanding from Bedford Council.
This is rather well done
oh so very much this
As a cuddly NGO that nobody in the Labour, the name, right? And in our book Get In, which tells a lot of this story, it is, I think someone involved told us it was one of the greatest deceptions in the history of British politics. Deliberately so.
You have to wonder how exactly it was possible for the Labour Together lads to pull off “One of the greatest deceptions in the history of British politics” undetected, when they were in close and constant contact with the country’s foremost, best remunerated political journalists. A real enigma here
IDK if there are any famous alumni but is there any possible kudos I can claim if my old school has a new name and is currently rated 'inadequate' by Ofsted?
