I tell you what's the most brilliant 'buy you another couple of hours as the deadline sails by' tactic - you wanna file with a link to a google doc that you haven't given the editor access to. Absolutely no shade to the person who just did this I'm certain that was a genuine accident

Good morning, let's celebrate an extra hour by reading some good stuff. Here's some FT Weekend gift links, when they're gone they're gone it's rude to complain everyone judges you etc etc.

Good morning anyone hoping for FT weekend gift links this morning needs to know I smashed not one but two full jars of pickles on the kitchen floor this morning. That is a three stage clear up operation and I’ve no one to blame but myself for over stacking the cupboard

You can tell the writer is distressed and possibly high on vinegar fumes because she’s written this morning three times in one sentence wow.

Still a whole month til You Can See Everything is released in the UK and my semi-resident young person is already driven to madness by hype. Can we go and see it? No. NOW? No. How about today? Haven't had scenes like this since High School Musical 3

Good morning. Much of Europe appears to be chaos but I'm filled with patriotism as I report that on Radio 4 we are protesting because The Archers, a 70 year old radio soap opera, may no longer be recorded in Birmingham. Please stand for the national anthem.

personally i cannot bear the Archers but could've told matt brittin that unless moving the studio will actually save the BBC in one fell swoop forget it. The Archers and 6 Music are essentially Grade 4 listed due to their fanbase.

the next three people to willfully misunderstand/scold me like i've suggested jeffrey archer was a misunderstood saint will I'm afraid all catch a particularly tenacious conjunctivitis in the near future sorry

This is as magnificent as an obituary as the life of its subject demands. Jeffrey Archer, perjurer, fantastist, charismatic grifter went to prison yet died ennobled; but somehow I still feel nostalgic for this specific breed of untrustworthy wrong'un www.thetimes.com/uk/obituarie...

thetimes.comJeffrey Archer obituary: MP, peer and multimillion-selling authorLord Archer of Weston-super-Mare, politician with a ‘gift for inaccurate précis’ who became a prolifically successful writer, dies aged 86

I think maybe it's the cheque bounced, could i possibly just borrow your house oops I've sold it, don't leave him alone with your cutlery/wife/dowager aunt school of fraud and grift which is now largely dominated by racism, riots and hate speech

BBC News is doing a deep dive into why people love to go to Glastonbury and these delightful women are trying to explain its joy appeal at 08.54am without mentioning that everyone is off their heads.

"I remember one time dancing with a leaf to the light of the sun bouncing off a recorder and a brass band and everyone was cheering but also a porcupine..."

In today’s @ft_weekend there’s a column by me about the writers of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, screwing up season 4 by attempting to dispense with the format across almost every episode. Perhaps you liked the season. You are entitled to that view. You are also wrong. www.ft.com/content/b1d6...

As Charlotte points out, the problem with the Sky Wargames thing - largely a jolly romp through your worst nightmares - is that you wake up to a major incident at RAF Fairford and all you can picture is Penny Mordaunt insisting we nuke moscow to show strength www.thetimes.com/culture/tv-r...

ok that's it. Be even kinder than usual because this is all other people's hard work and I haven't seen any of them for a fortnight so they're all brilliant. Enjoy your weekend!
