What's the most bafflingly, embarrassingly basic thing you had to explain to somebody? My ex moved into her own flat, aged 24, and was looking confused at something in the oven. I had to explain to her what a grill is and does.

Yeah, thanks Snickers. I prefer these to the filtered ones.

RIP Walter❤️

Robin Weaver studied photography at Newport College of Art in the 1970s. Aside from his day job covering hard news and local events, for The South Wales Argus his main interest was documenting the everyday lives of the people in and around the valleys of South Wales.

Great Russian actor Walter Koenig (as Chekov might say) has sadly left us. He brought a lot of joy. Only George Takei himself and Bill Shatner now left of the Enterprise dream team. Second star to the right... and straight on til morning.

No power here at the girlfriend's flat today. Got as far into the football highlights as 'Inevitable James Maddison Injury' before it all clicked off.

I DON'T / I DON'T / I DON'T DRINK BEER *early hip hop scratching commences*

Once got irritated by an insect that kept flying in the house. Sent a text to my wife 'fuck daddy long legs' to which she replied 'oh yeah baby' - we've never discussed it.

Altogether now, parents and children together, sopranos at the rear... and, CHORUS: "Kill Yeltsin, who's saying? Zhirinovsky, Le Pen Hindley and Brady, Ireland, Allitt, Sutcliffe Dahmer, Nilsen, Yoshinori Ueda Blanche and Pickles, Amin and Milosevic Give them the respect they deserve"

Prepare for Storm Austen by only being truly popular after you're dead.

I have been ILL for a whole WEEK and I think I deserve a little TREAT. Françoise Hardy's lovely Message Personnel - perhaps becoming my favourite FH album - and a beer will do. And yes, price sticker still on, reminding me I got it for a fiver. Vinyl bargains are rare these days. Enjoy them.

Robinson and Brand on trial at the same time? Oh let's hope they both get sent down together to the same prison, where they can reflect together, pray together, and get shanked in the thigh together courtesy of Big Brian from C Wing.

I won't waste my time writing.

Maybe the BBC should get someone who actually knows what he is talking about then.

Cardiff folks - a new window has opened for you to raise an objection to the data centre. It's only for a few days. Look it up now, if you haven't already filed your objection. This is already on Welsh Gov's radar - let's add more fuel to this!!

This fella's name is just... *chef's kiss* 'Mohammad Alias Yousaf - also known as Alias' www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Thoughts on this animal's cartoon voice?

It's rare you see a post that manages, entirely accidentally and so perfectly, to achieve the logic and rhythm of a Viz letterbocks entry. I had a sausage sandwich this morning. Contrast that with man landing on the moon.

Happy 4th anniversary to the night in Svalbard when my phone took this unedited photo of a giant lunar halo over the glaciers of Svalbard to which the only response was to fall into hysterical laughter, serially taken up by each shipmate, how else to respond to such outlandish, annihilating beauty

Picturing Osman eating a swift, bones and all, with a cloth over his head to hide his actions from a judgemental God.

Oh bloody hell. I have a friend at Taffs Well and another who lives further down the river. Lasting damage, probably 'years, not months'. Dead fish, dead birds, dead ecosystem.

New euphemism just dropped

I have never had a headshot that goes as hard as this cat's.

I genuinely saw this and thought “we’ve really moved a long way from slogans like ‘live, laugh, love’”

Watched a BBC video from America where they asked 'will Iowa Republican voters still vote Republican?'. I think we all know what the answer was. Every single one of them said 'look, I'm not thrilled by the Iran war, or the big rise in food and fuel costs, but I'm still voting for these c***s'.

Ysabel Yates'... I mean Cookie Monster's superb takedown of why GenAI in the workplace sucks.

I still struggle to get my head around 'being the biggest knobhead in Mumford & Sons'. I mean, how do you even measure that? It's like being the Muppet who does the most open-mouthed laughing.

Steve, that is not a phrase

Covid is going around, lads - please take care. Don't think I need to say how I know this, but can confirm I am digging out the DVD box sets.

My parents moved into their house in 1979. They still haven't finished decorating.

I understand you had a difficult day at work today. But did you have to dress up like a Power Ranger and fight your dad? No. I didn't think so.

I'm co-running this event in a fortnight, Cardiff kids. Great bunch of authors, and it's free.

I sipped sherry with the Bishop of Penrith He had another, then he asked me for a kith Made my excuses and I left the place forthwith Don't be alone, boys, with the Bishop of Penrith

oh my god

Vincent Van Gogh painted your weird Auntie Sue, exactly 100 years before she bought that cardigan in BHS. Incredible.

What can you say? This was the definite winner they will never top. Also one of the best things I've seen at any PRGE #PRGE #PRGE2026

I DONE IT SHIRLEY.
