An article that is basically self-loathing of the effete middle class, except dressed up as food discourse rather than the usual salt-of-the-earth "why get a degree rather than a manly miner" Kudos to the author for finding a new angle to go trad-fash on

What’s that you say? Liz has a new book out which even the Telegraph is saying is even more unhinged than the last one? Wonderful, I’ll post this then.

Right, that's enough Discourse, I've got work to do

Please God get rid of Netanyahu. I know the alternative isn't great but it's better than more of him with Ben Gvir and Smotrich.

90s not a bad age. when he visited our fan club we got an amazingly deal on a boutique hotel. im talking most impressive I've ever seen . when Walter saw the room he said you can't afford this and offered us some of his fee back. they say don't meet your hero's , but he was an absolute star ...

Well it was too much to hope that she wouldn't be holding the lap mic in every shot but I salute them for managing 75% of the shots. Also maybe this will be of interest to you... or let's face it, this is Bluesky, of interest to your (grand)children/nieces and nephews. Let them know about it if so.

Can't sleep, clown will eat me

<Bart Simpson voice> What an odd thing to say.

Good lord what a goal that was. My favourite of his great goals purely for how hard he worked for it.

"Zachary Challis, 19, says that while riding the final bus down Oxford Street is in his “top ten” transport experiences, it can’t compete with being present for the withdrawal of the 549 & 347 routes."

Right now Flavio Bolsonaro is at home crying like a little girl !

It would be great if people could share my wife’s GoFundMe. She has been wonderful in the most important roles in life – as a mother, grandmother and a teacher. Please donate if you can. Thanks gofund.me/5e34e0fa3
