Yea & Jeffrey Epstein was on suicide watch and still managed to hang himself

Christ yes. I’m seeing scenes from Mayor Of Kingstown

Reminds me of my local history book about Dartford asylum where it says they experimented with not giving the inmates beer and saw an improvement in behaviour

I have no doubt but procuring a metal pole remains worthy of explanation

I’m not lamenting loss of Ian Huntley but why are prisons allowing Category A inmates to build ‘three foot spiked metal poles’ in ‘recycling classes’? As outcomes go it’s not the biggest surprise, is it? Next week: shock as the clay pigeon shooting tutorial takes a dark turn

No worries thanks for trying though! 💙💛🩵

I get this 😆

That doesn’t link to my book it’s a different author 👍🏻

😆😆 honoured to be there!

I’ve started & enjoying while finding psychically exhausting 😀

Your boyfriend looking at a meme

Ranting about how much I hate nihilism as clever in TV shows, and said = betting on people being good sometimes, isn’t emotionally naive. Omg that’s it. Not everything has to be Succession

Can’t say I blame you I’m a recidivist in this respect

I invent a Time Machine but instead of killing baby Hitler I’m finding out which clothes I don’t wear on holiday so I can pack lighter with confidence

Thank you so much! X

Spread bookers are people who book multiple restaurants for same night & just turn up to one they fancy & no show the rest, and it’s understandably led to restaurants demanding reminder confirmation & credit cards from all of us

Dudes I get spread bookers are awful people, but it’s a bit much to be shouted at with multiple asterisks like drill sergeant for crime of finding your menu appealing & providing my card details

I’m very pro restaurants protecting themselves from curse of no shows. But just had most ornery Ts & Cs I’ve ever seen. CONFIRM U ARE STILL COMING?! OR WE’LL JUST CANCEL UR TABLE AS ‘SUSPICIOUSLY QUIET’ & YOU WILL BE GONE BY **9** WHEN WE WILL BE GLAD TO BE RID OF YOU. RUNNING LATE? EAT SHIT

A piece of wisdom I’ve accrued: don’t confuse someone agreeing with you for someone supporting you, it’s not the same thing. And in some situations, don’t confuse it with them agreeing with you, either.

Honoured!

The margherita pizza & vegetarian sausage comps threw up absolute joke results

‘A crunchy, blistered, golden-brown pillow’: the best supermarket puff pastry, tasted and rated Which supermarket shortcrust pastry puffs up proudly, and which comes up short?

This feature disturbing my calm again: if the analysis is based on best in class then why are you downgrading a more expensive product? Best Value is a different competition entirely surely www.theguardian.com/thefilter/20...

Mike Leigh is 82.
I often think of this scene from Naked to remind myself to keep things in perspective as we’re only in the first few moments of the 1st of January after all.
Thewlis gives one of the all time great performances.

Reminder that my friend’s Tory Dad said Labour only have one real policy: ‘free pies for the scruffy’

The black one! 🫡🫶🏻 thank you xx

Sorry quilted box sounds a bit obscene Prince lyric

The 3 genres: quilted box, bivvy bag, or ‘will be so cold it’s more like a second shirt’

Not to sound 92 but the coats & jackets industry is missing a trick by not producing ‘warm but still has a shape’ variety of outerwear. It’s assumed if you don’t want to be cold you must also want to look like a vertical bivvy bag
