I despise the cursèd “NOT FOR EU” mark of Cain that’s emblazoned on every comestible designated for us lumpen Brits. Evoking the tang of an “unfit for human consumption” stamp, this shameful label declares a base unworthiness for the cosmopolitan boulevards and arcades of continental Europe.
I'm on the train from Montréal to Toronto. There's just been a reminder that it is MANDATORY to use headphones when watching video. I can't believe this guys have resorted to legislation, rather than our system of having 75% of the carriage sit in murderous, futile rage.
One of the things I appreciate most about living in Norfolk is the fact that it induces a near-constant state of bewilderment. 1/4
I enjoyed this episode so much that I had to make an urgent “emergency ploughman’s” as soon as I got home. Luke & John’s tangy podcast is just one of the perks I enjoy, as I help keep the Quietus lanterns lit with my subscription. Tuck in! thequietus.com/subscribers/

Upon seeing the name of the new Beyoncé number, I expected her to have “put a donk on it“, herself being no stranger to the dance floor. I was disappointed, however, when it turned out to be fairly forgettable downtempo schmaltz. The UK/US language barrier was never more stark. youtu.be/Mv5f9Q2LJYM

I do feel like a bit of an outlier, being someone who avoids plastering relentless non-consensual footage of my kids all over social media, but stories like this remind me that it's probably for the best. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Masterchef is just so much more pleasant without those two dismal roasters at the helm.
I love TripAdvisor. Utter insanity ‘Croquettes very hot I mean scorching hot roof of mouth, but Adam very smart. One question though I don’t like mint leaves anywhere near bottled water’ etc
Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan@warringtonruncorn.com · last mo.TripAdvisor really remains a wondrous insight into the pettiness of mankind. "Food was exquisite, some of the best I've ever eaten. But did not like the fact it was 200m further walk than I thought. 2/5." accompanied by an out of focus photo of a knife and fork.

Have just learned that most of the UK’s fried chicken shop signs are designed by the same man, Morris Casanova.

I believe you may be missing a vital metric in your analysis. You should also be measuring how many of these shops had their logos designed by Morris Casanova. peckedclean.wordpress.com/2010/02/08/c...

‘Say yes and never do it’ Mel Brooks knew how to deal with the studios
![That’s probably the most famous scene in the movie, the campfire scene.
I know. He said, “You can’t punch a horse.” I said, “You’ll never see it again.” I kept saying, “You’re absolutely right. It’s out!” Then, when he left, I crumpled up all his notes, and I tossed it in the wastepaper basket. And John Calley, who was running [production at] Warner Bros. at the time, said, “Good filing.” That was the end of it. You say yes, and you never do it.
That’s great advice for life.
It is. Don’t fight them. Don’t waste your time struggling with them and trying to make sense to them. They’ll never understand.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:yvbszlkc7d75ixkid5g2zmw7/bafkreiar4z6n6pfk7wob2gznv6l6euw7ltxbetgto5drfd4wqzjalldp5m)
A fun bit to do if you and your friend are leaving somewhere is point to a random object and ask if they forgot it. “Is that your candle? “ “is that your plant?” “Is that your road sign?” Seconds and seconds of fun.
