ET. Must have been with a friend as all I can recall is someone else's mum apologising to my mum for me still being in floods of tears when I got home.
First film you saw at the cinema. The real first one, not the pretend one you tell people! Mine: The Empire Strikes Back, 1980, Wigan. We were near the front and I can still remember how massive the AT-ATs looked, looming over us out of the snow :) Film, year, where, and whatever stuck with you.

Can't do it now cos they're all closed, but I always wanted to set up a restaurant called 14.99 next to every one of Jamie Oliver's Fifteens. Exactly the same menu but everything a penny cheaper.

Huge if true.
Another Reform councillor in South London called for the King to be decapitated for being a secret Muslim. Reform say they are taking disciplinary action against a small number of councillors who do not share their values. I believe both would be welcome in Restore www.itv.com/news/2026-10...

If Max Halley hadn't already beaten me to it, I'd write a book about sandwiches. The lore is deep. Admittedly, as a working chef, the sandwich I eat most often is pan scrapings in crusts in a rush. It's one reason lamb and celeriac stew is on so often, but curry, scouse, ragu, all fine options.

Stunned to learn that Zach Polanski lacks the stones to stand up to his own membership. Whomst etc etc
The head of Jewish Greens has said she might quit the party, amid growing anger among some members at Zack Polanski for his inaction over the party’s policy motion equating Zionism with racism. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
I mean, these are the daft arseholes who all turned up to rallies with bandages on their ears. Bit much to expect them to have self-respect.
Trump could hand me a check for a billion dollars and I’d still vote against him. I don’t understand why so many Americans are happy to be bribed. Don’t you have any pride?
You absolutely don't gotta hand it to Cameron and Osborne, but if the Tories do die then Brexit and austerity are what will have done it, the cheque's just been in the post a while.
Labour was polling a little over 30% when these articles were written. It is genuinely strange that the Conservative Party is not being subjected to the same obituaries by op-ed given its frequent sub-20% polling.
