This is outside the old Crossgates Library in Leeds and is a weirdly appropriate protest against the gradual degradation of public services over the past decades.

The state of her kitchen though

Dulux are changing their paint names and I am already chortling at the Purple Indignation this will provoke in some quarters, outraged at Woke Paint: www.dulux.com.au/specifier/du...

Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning. A terrible film with a terrible script and a cast that oozes smugness. It’s even boring for a Cruise/MI film. A better title would be The Deification Of Tom Cruise. He really must be stopped from making any more films Half a funny little running man out of 5

When is it acceptable to yell ‘MUSCLE + HATE!’ in crowded stadia? When Douglas McCarthy does it. Or did, rather. Farewell Angry Pointy Shouty Man! :(

South Park residents of San Diego, California, confront Trump’s ICE agents after they stormed a local Italian restaurant to detain staff. This is how fascism is resisted. Courageous citizens standing their ground against regime thugs sent to intimidate them. More of this, America!

I have got through 39 sets of headphones in the past 10 years. Is there a form I can fill in to claim my ADHD tax rebate?

Karma Bites - a Final Destination-style splatter horror franchise in which a succession of loathsome stereotypes behave antisocially before being horribly but imaginatively killed in bizarre accidents. Victims include litterers, train Facetimers, shit dog owners, loud park wankers and Piers Morgan.

Perfect weather for me - warm but not hot (low 20s), the mildest of breezes, no rain, sunny all day but with the odd cloud that blocks the sun for 5 mins just so we don’t get too complacent. Where in the world can I reliably get weather like this for longer than one week in May, if we’re lucky?

Pearl Jam has ruined my evening

That Bevan quote is now equally applicable to Labour. It goes on: “They condemned millions of people to semi-starvation. I warn you young men & women, do not listen to what they are saying, do not listen to the seductions of [Starmer].They have not changed, or if they have they are slightly worse."

What are those small yappy type dogs that look as if they’ve had a spin in the tumble dryer?

WTF was the times table ‘trick’? It doesn’t make sense as the whole idea of a times table is that you don’t need a trick - you just learn it so you don’t have to work it out.

It's time for the popeulator

Quite impressed with The @mirror.co.uk ‘s front page today. It’s a day to commemorate, not celebrate. If only the rest of the media could follow suit and can the flagshagging forever.

Just had to pay £335 to service my bike cos I don’t maintain or clean it. There’s a lesson to be learnt here, but I know I’ll never learn it. #ADHDtax #ewmuckandoilgross

I’m quite shocked by this. In my view, this invalidates all previous awards. I would make all 97 years of previous winners hand them back and then force all guilty non-watching members to view every single nomination again from the beginning as punishment.

Ralph Fiennes told me that it wasn’t double pneumonia that killed the Pope, but a surfeit of Easter eggs. Keep it under your mitre though, as the Pontiff is supposed to be infallible.

The Kennedy clan cannot even be trusted to take care of their own brains let alone an entire nation’s health. Look at this display of ignorance, hubris and mendacity.

Absolutely disgusted by this anti-scientific, anti-truth ruling. They’re celebrating with champagne (street drinking is illegal in Westminster btw) at a ruling that will put a vulnerable minority in danger. What’s happening in the US could happen over here too www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

The world would be a better place without golf, golf courses and golfers.

Free Le Creuset gear from departing neighbours who clearly have more money than sense. And for that I thank them.

Currently RMTO to the year of 1991: youtu.be/8yVNLtYTL1E?...

I got paid today and needed to get some hot chocolate, so this, of course, is the result. (that’s not even all of them either 😔) #tellmeyouhaveadhdwithouttellingmeyouhaveadhd
