On classical music album covers why are in the ubiquitous headshots the women mostly smiling and the men mostly doing that weird tortured contemplating something pose?

Ranking of best to worst post office PMs. As in entirely based on post office dignity/quality of any public utterances/ability to not shit the bed. Something like Major Brown May Sunak Cameron Johnson Truss Blair The noble strategy of shutting up gets you mid table. Truss being ignored pips Blair

Ed Milliband and Andy Burnham are leadership contenders. José Mourinho heading to the Bernabéu. Tbh 2010 is a terrible year to head for and I've no idea where they are going with this at all.

Ok I've been too hasty, the galley master is James Cosmo going "make this a glorious day for Rome, BATTLE SPEED" in full Scottish accent. Which unironically is + 3 points.

I can't shake the image of him holding court at the BAFTA after-party as Stephen Graham and Steve Coogan quiz him on how to make the most out of their clubcards.

I will watch it as it going to be right up my street and I'm looking forward to it. But in the back of my mind is the fact giving a story named Odyssey, often described as an epic to Christopher Nolan is just asking for trouble.

Pet peeve. When only the deluxe album is available on streaming. When you know it well you start humming the first bars of the next song, then something else you've never heard comes along. I love finding new music, but I also want the nostalgic warm milk of that exact* CD I used to own sometimes

I bet some staff are secretly pissed the fully staffed ghost train got cancelled. Imagine the bliss of being scheduled on your first Monday morning train to the buffet car on an empty train, and you could just read a book or whatever. Best gig on an Avanti.

Left: Never washes a tea spoon, leaves it on the side in a little puddle. Centre: Ate a kebab in the office for lunch in September which stank. Right: Gave his boss profanisaurus in the secret Santa. All three on standing in the rain during the big January storm duty.

It must be fun doing the social media for a low stakes embassy/country pair. This or the cheese toasty that made people thirsty as fun soft diplomacy. Without the need to be earnest or the risk of accidentally starting a massive incident that would come with a more aggro embassy/country pairing.

50 runaway sheep ram-paged through a German supermarket in rural Baa-varia, causing shear mania on Monday morning. After breaking away from their 500-strong herd, the brazen sheep spent 20 minutes milling around in the Penny supermarket before ewe-turning and seeing themselves out.
