Was Har Mar Superstar a pun based on this record?

Weirdly dog-focussed headlines in the Sunday papers

I *knew* I should have got my copy signed

I thought the internet had prepared me for all eventualities but I didn't notice expect to see Samuel Pepys get milkshake ducked first thing on a Sunday morning

Let me make your Sunday. Got a library card? Great. Download the Libby app. Free. Up to 10 audiobooks. FREE (cancel Audible). Up to 10 e books. FREE. (Cancel Kindle Prime). UNLIMITED high street magazines (I chose Empire, RW, Wired, Simple Things to start). NEWSPAPERS! This app is AMAZING.

A book shop had opened up near me and they've just posted an application for an alcohol license so I guess they're going for both

I realised recently that I have a pair of trousers that I have now owned for over half my life. And the worst thing is they don't even fit that well, I need to wear a belt for htem

If this try is confirmed, that's incredible #SixNations

Two film-level tries in the rugby so far. You'd love to see them in bullet time #SixNations

BBC Sport have made a huge discovery about a *checks notes* PE teacher

The Entombment of Hulk Hogan - Caravaggio (c.1602-3)

Americans will go to cartoonish lengths to tweet about Britain being twee, meanwhile here's a bunch of heartland Americans voicing their displeasure by waving colour-coded paper plates at a politician

Looks like I was right to guess the new Indiana Joneses would be bobbins

Thankfully he's not played by George Mitchell

Victoria Street, Edinburgh. #VictoriaStreet #Edinburgh #Scotland 🪬🧿

This is a fascinating intellectual property quirk but...aren't monkeys playing drums a really common toy, too? I swear I've seen it a bunch

The Rock in 2025 is like one of those fake celebrity endorsement ads on YouTube that were done with AI. It mostly sounds like a human, but there’s always some gibberish and the voice is only about 70% right.

Huh, I really expected to find out in a slightly more grand way than this

No offence Australia but your version of Catchphrase is SHOCKING

This is just making me think about how bland professional wrestler Dino Bravo was murdered due to his involvement in cigarette smuggling. Not the sexiest contraband

All he's ever known is the world of crime. This doesn't excuse what he does, but I think we understand him a little better. #PoliceSquad #WordOnTheStreet

Was Noel crying? #TOTP

Cool thing to come home to

Play "Tossed Salad And Scrambled Eggs", you cowards!! #TOTP

Haven't they already done the 'which one's [band name]?' joke this week(?) #TOTP

Oh you love this song, do ya? Sing the second verse, then #TOTP

Placebo were the first contemporary band I really got into, downloaded loads of their tracks from Napster in 2000. But I'd have been ten here and this would have been way to rocky for me. Weird how long three years is when you're a kid #TOTP

D'ya remember that video of *NSync where they were creepily made-up to look like plastic toys? That's the lead singer all the time #TOTP

Pretty hilarious watching how quickly the lottery seats for Much Ado About Nothing are disappearing compared to how The Tempest ones didn't even sell #JamieLloyd

Nearly into March spotting season
