Optimist: the cup is half full Pessimist: the cup is half empty Wayne Szalinski: but if we change the amount of empty between the atoms, we can shrink or enlarge it to any size!
Optimist: The cup is half full Pessimist: The cup is half empty Truvy: Cuppa cuppa cuppa? You don't even need to write it down: just mix a cup of flour, a cup of sugar, and a cup of fruit cocktail with its juice, then mix and bake at 350 til gold and bubbly.
Do you want to hazard a guess at what this “jaw-dropping” list of freebies included? What luxuries asylum seekers might be being given “for free” in Thetford? Xboxes? Plasma TVs? iPhones? Ferraris? Let's take a look👀 🧵 1/22
I'm thrilled to bits about meeting Paul McCartney last night. Looking back I feel like I should have said more than "great to meet you, but don't mind me, I just work here."
Argentina show their quality by attacking the Spanish team after losing despite being cheating twats. #EatABuffetOfDicks #VivaEspana
I refuse to take Channel 5 coverage of #TourDeFrance seriously when they pronounce Paul Seixas "Paul Sex-Ass".
It was inevitable, wasn't it🙄 Of course the Telegraph would run with something like this👇 So let's remove some of the rose-tinted spectacles and also look at some of that data comparing 1976 with modern heat waves Because the 1976 nostalgia porn is wearing a bit thin at this stage 🧵1/23
The lone remaining duckling set out from the pond, determined to find its family. Its plaintive cheeps continued into the distance as it was lost from view in the dusk. Finally, there was silence. Be brave, little bird.
It's been a difficult week, but after trawling across town for Father's Day we arrived home to find a mum in the garden. #ducklings

Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure Air Guitar

I was today years old when I found out that I share a birthday with the incredible Sir David Attenborough. #HappyBirthdayDavid
#MAFSAus Juliet gets the ick with Joel after seeing his dildo drumming video. In his defence he tells her it was slapstick comedy. Then he tells her something she doesn't know about him, that he dropped out of music college. There's a common thread here.
It's that time of year again. #LongGoodFriday #Hoskins
a close up of a man 's face with a blurry background
Alt: From The Long Good Friday. Mobster Harold Shand, played impeccably by Bob Hoskins, sits in the back of a taxi, his face a tableaux of emotions, as off-screen a young IRA assassin, played by Pierce Brosnan, holds him at gunpoint.

How I arrived at Bluesky
a man wearing a helmet and a vest that says police on it is riding a bike
Alt: From Hot Fuzz. Nicholas Angel, played by Simon Pegg, is wearing a cycle helmet, lycra shorts and a police vest. He cycles up to us, stops with a skid, and glares liplessly.

Don't start me on news reporters saying"secketry" instead of secretary.
Just finished reading Flowers For Algernon. Compelling and expertly worn prose. I see a lot of myself in Charlie Gordon, and I wonder whether that makes me a genius or a moron - perhaps both. #Literature #SciFi
In 1978, #DouglasAdams predicts me today trying to find a setting in Outlook. #h2g2 youtu.be/oH0gbvfSeL8?...

Replied to a work message with a Too Many Cooks gif. I don't know whether to be proud or ashamed.
Watching #LimitlessWin and there are not five BBFC ratings, there are seven. I knew this and then had to look it up to prove it to myself.
My wife and I were married in late 2024 in the US. Now they've gone full #Kristallnacht I don't see us going back to Murderland for the foreseeable future.
This is a warning to you all. Make face goggles by turning your hands upside down WHILE YOU STILL CAN. I can still just about manage it, but at significant personal pain.
Less than two weeks until my one-off fundraiser and I am bananas excited coz I'll be debuting the most insane dress I have ever owned. It was £450 new and I got it on Vinted last month for £36 AND I've got shoes that match already. See it by getting a ticket here: www.outsavvy.com/event/31688/...

a man with long blonde hair is holding a bow and arrow in his hand .
Alt: Legolas, the archer elf from Lord Of The Rings with long blonde hair, is holding a bow and arrow in his hand. Except it's actually Stephen Colbert, and he's pretending the bow is a cello and bowing it with an arrow. It's sillier the longer you look at it.
