Wolf-whistling but it's shouting out of a car window to tell someone you like their dog

How I feel about Pancake Day is the same as how I feel about Valentine's Day. If you love them as much as you say you do, you don’t need just one day a year to celebrate them

Had a very lovely last-minute gig at Complete Joke in York last night. The next (planned) one is at this in Leeds on Thursday. See you there!

News 2 pages Business 2 pages Sports 8 pages Anti-trans opinion pieces 36 pages Cartoons 1.5 pages someone who is good at newspapers please help me edit this. my industry is dying

First day of ADHD medication today. I fully expect to be brilliant at everything by close of play tomorrow

Trump is not a negotiator. For his entire life, all he's needed to say is "give me what I want because I'm richer than you" and people have given him what he wants because he usually only deals with people who are impressed by inherited wealth

When I worked as a restaurant critic, I wrote under a nom nom nom de plume.

How can we scale this and inject all billionaires in the penis?

"Can you just let me finish this chapter?"

So that's what happened to him after he boarded the ship with Frodo at the Grey Havens

Nominative determinism suggests this town in Bosnia-Herzegovina should be home to a Formula 1 grand prix

Make it make sense

Band: We're going on a UK tour! The tour: Manchester, Glasgow, Birmingham, London, London, Dublin

Pros of every road in the UK being full of potholes: 1) They act as little reservoirs for the rain to ease pressure on our blocked drains 2) We can save money on installing speed bumps

Publishers: Here's a new book! It's quite sturdy, chunky and awkward to slip in your bag, and because of that, it's expensive. But don't worry you'll love it! *6 months pass* Good news! We've made that book you love lighter, more flexible and easier to carry around. And guess what? It's cheaper now!

If you’re lucky, you’re on this earth for maybe, what, 70, 80 years? Is it really too much to ask you to just leave other people alone and let them try to have a nice life without being be an absolute nob head about it?

Someone should do a Reel about how different generations work from home. There's not enough of them

An Eastenders-themed decaf coffee shop called De Caffney

I wish I found commercial radio DJs as funny as they find themselves

Ah but is Trump aware that we renamed them chicken Kyivs? We're doing all we can

WLTM: someone who's ever had their timbers shivered

I'm so pleased that the bloodthirsty, moneygrabbing, warmongering lunatics Trump, Putin and the Saudi royal family are the ones who are sorting everything out for the benefit of the rest of us. Never doubted any of them

Today I found out exactly where I've reached on the sliding scale of depressingly inevitable uncoolness…

Kid in National Trust cafe: Is that man dying? Grandad: No, I think he's just old Me: Please don't let them be talking about me. *turns round to see the kid pointing at an old painting*

Not even 7am yet and I've already had a migraine. Don't tell me I don't get shit done

What's your sign?

Celebrations are red Roses are blue Quality Street are purple And Heroes are too Happy Valentines Day

Since girls can do Galentines on Valentines I thought I’d join in and text my mate “Be my Palentines?” but it autocorrected to “be my Palestine?” and Israeli not going down well.

I reckon 90% of problems in any workplace, maybe even the world, are the result of some man's ego being so fragile that he can't admit he was wrong or that he didn't have enough experience in a specific thing so shouldn't have made the call he did

I hate it on game shows when the first question they ask contestants is "what do you do?", like your work defines you. Why don't they ask real questions like "what do you dream of at night?", "what's your tipple?" and "which Pokémon do you most identify with?"

Putin: Give me everything I want Trump: Sure, no problem Trump's carers: Hey, great negotiations, buddy!

Sorry, I can't come to the phone right now; I'm self-actualising. I should be ready in another 40 years

Time is so weird. You can be bored at work, do half an hour of admin, yet the clock hasn't moved at all. Then you get home, look at your phone for literally 30 seconds and suddenly it's a week next Thursday

If I had a barbershop, I'd put a sign outside that said "see 'ead shearin' here!"

How come the side effects of medication are always crap things like headaches, dizziness or heart palpitations and never fun things like telekinesis, superhuman strength or invisibility?

In this week's weekly shop, I bought a pack of little flavoured yoghurts which I'd not done for years and I'd completely forgotten how fun they are to eat. What a little pot of joy
