You can just say body. I promise you everyone understands.

While I'm generally of the view that, yes, you should stockpile a bit of pasta if you can, the provision of bottled water in emergencies is literally the job of water companies and following a drought for which the public are being blamed, I do think asking we stock up is pretty fucking brass necked

There's always someone in prison on Coronation Street. Why don't they just move the prison there?

Not exactly cheerful watching, but I thought The Experiment on Channel 4 was a genuinely excellent piece of specialist factual programme-making. Brings history horribly up close. www.channel4.com/programmes/t...

she's put her foot in it now... #scd #strictly

This is my favourite. ‘The TV is too big.’

Let Crunchy Nut be Crunchy Nut and Biscoff be Biscoff.

No more cliffhangers! We're gonna watch it!! #CelebrityTraitors

incredible that there are two and a bit episodes left and the three remaining Traitors have received a total of zero votes between them at the roundtable throughout the entire game #CelebrityTraitors

A news editor calls Frankie over from the corner of the office. "Frankie! Got a story for you to do..." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Just awoke from a dream where Uber had a feature called “Convince” where you could outbid a passenger currently in a taxi to kick them out and take you instead.

Press releases I receive 🤷‍♂️ “Air fryers are tearing families apart at dinner time, new research reveals”

Bizarre GB News clip doing the rounds where host Nana Akua and panellist Andy Twelves have an argument in which they keep saying each other's full names.

The prop Herbie that gets dumped overboard in Herbie Goes Bananas (1980) was never recovered from the ocean.

Say what you will about Jamie Oliver but I think it's very ballsy to do a single-shot cookery show.

Really fascinating case of a thoroughly orphaned cultural object. What living person is Ali G "satirising" in 2026? Like, Harry Enfield didn't scrap Loadsamoney due to political correctness, it's cos the Thatcherist parvenu (and the anxiety its emergence triggered within society) no longer exists.
