Just can’t imagine how mortally embarrassed sensible Americans must be.

The β€˜What’s Up’ thing is new, isn’t it?

I don’t have a strongly formed opinion on it yet but will release a statement if that changes.

I am a lapsed listener although I do love the pod. Will there be a specific lapsed listener week or should I use this one?

A real Good Samaritan One act of kindness that befell Leeds writer Bernard Hare in 1982 changed him profoundly. Here he tells his story.

In 1988, whilst carrying his baby daughter Lauren, Kenny Dalglish interrupted a post-match interview Alex Ferguson was having with "You'll get more sense out of her". Proper animosity, proper beef.

Now they're sharing Dairy Milk Buttons like two kids at nursery. Game's gone.

I remember, many years ago now (with ny transport strategist hat on) being asked in a BBC interview if Crossrail would be Khan's biggest legacy. The thing that had the biggest impact on London.

I said:

"No. It'll be ULEZ."

All sorts of Chimney Sweep drama playing out in my emails.

Another reason why I exclusively use Dick Van Dyke.

Matthew McConaughey says he wants a private LLM, fed only with his books, notes, journals, and aspirations, so he can ask it questions and get answers based solely on that information, without any outside influence.

X post by Milo Yiannopoulos: "28 pilots have been suspended or fired so far after I made their airlines aware of gruesome remarks made about Charlie Kirk’s death. Of the big three, Delta has the biggest problem by far; United the smallest."

Hard to think of a more on-the-nose encapsulation of how far the online speech wars have swung in the year of our lord 2025 than major U.S. corporations racing to fire people whose tweets offended Milo Yiannopoulos

Fouls and handballs in the box should result in an indirect free kick from where the incident happened - not a penalty. Penalties are too big a punishment for a lot of minor offences especially given how specialist a lot of takers are these days.

Also Brighton are just really annoying, sorry.

Gary Lineker on winning the National TV Award,

"It's not lost on me why I might have won this award"

"Aside from presenting Match of the Day.."

"Also, I think it demonstrates that perhaps it's ok sometimes to use our platform to speak up on behalf of those who have no voice"

I think it's good to keep getting mad about evil and unjust things, if only to remind yourself and everyone else that these things are in fact evil and unjust. I don't think it's naive. Nor is it wise and sophisticated to adopt a "You fool, nothing matters and nothing good can ever happen" posture

Won’t accept any Nuno slander!

A great manager and a great man (see example below + how he conducted himself around Jota’s tragic death).

Also our cat is called Nuno (he’s about 5 years old) and he’s a great lad too.

The problem for Meta is that when you read stuff like this very few people’s reaction is β€œwell that doesn’t sound like the sort of thing they’d do”

A tile stands on a shelf above a toilet. It reads: "You only live once. Lick the bowl."

My mum keeps this in the kitchen, but I decided to move it. So far, she hasn’t noticed.

Let's be clear: The flood of hatred sloshing across Britain right now is 100% a product of the political and media elite scapegoating minorities for the harms that those elites have visited upon the country.
