Shanghai Hannah

Not my 10 year old niece, during her Sunday league match, telling the teenage ref in all sincerity, that her granddad has the same shoes.

A yellow label bargin, is a yellow label bargin.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Attacked by a stag in Richmond Park? RIP Fenton - Wouldn't have happened on his watch.

Before and after.

Now that he's won, I hope this means I never have to hear the words "Andy Burnham" ever again.

"You're just making things up now" My mum, after I asked is she not watching Canada Bosnia?

Me joking to an 8 year old: "And is daddy enjoying Amsterdam? Hasnt like lost his phone or wallet, or been arrested?" 8 year old: "Not yet, but could still happen"

Hope no one is playing the "No Overall Control" drinking game

📌 ICYMI — Reform UK’s Basildon Leader Accused of Bullying After Filming Council Staff and Residents With Meta-Style Smart Glasses https://bylinetimes.com/2026/04/30/reform-uks-basildon-leader-accused-of-bullying-after-filming-council-staff-and-residents-with-meta-style-smart-glasses

Hell hath no fury like a boomer dad who thinks his Jersey Royals from Tesco are just normal new potatoes.

Turned the news off early this morning and now my daily fix of James O'Brien, cos the coverage the knife attacks in London yesterday is quite something. All that can be said has been said by now. The energy given to this over other news items needs to be studied.

I...i just dont care about Peter Mandelson's appointment to ambassador. I dont wanna hear about the effer ever again.

"Do you think Miles is in it? "I don't think so, he's not in ad is he.. Why, were you gonna watch it if he was?" "I might have given it a go." Chats with my boomer dad about BALAMORY.

My boomer mum, who I am 100% sure has never seen an episode of The Inbetweeners, just sent a pic to the family group chat of her holiday entitled "Bus wankers". Yes, they were simply on a bus.

Five parties. One simple request: tell voters your plans for Essex. Three declined to respond. Two set out their priorities. We’ve published both. eastangliabylines.co.uk/party-politi...

My dad was a senior-ish civil servant. The making notes thing is so true. They make notes. It is a thing. Having that diary system to refer back to is the norm. @skynewsrss.bsky.social @emilythornberry.bsky.social

Just normal men.

I bloody love Andi. She never misses the need to lift someone up. #GreatBritishMenu

Been out smart arsed tonight. Me: Mummy says you don't want Easter Eggs this year? 7 year old: Nah Me: Do you want something else instead? 7 y/o: Robux Me: Robux? Do you think Jesus died and came out his little cave going "Ooh Robux please"? 7 y/o: Did he come out going "Ooh chocolate?"

Ah, I see BOTH my nieces have chosen small, side characters in modern books for World Book Day so they can justify what they actually want to wear - jeand and a hoodie.

I really like Jun. He has a great personality and smile for telly. #GreatBritishMenu

If I was a multi millionaire or billionaire, instead of being a creepy nonce, I'd fund all the Caribbean bobsleigh teams so they had more than 10 minutes practise before an Olympic final. #BBCOlympics #WinterOlympicGames

Yessssss! Get in @angelabarnes.bsky.social! THE SUBS ARE BACK! THANK YOU!!!!! #MockTheWeek

Had the Labour party been reading Private Eye in 2009, when business columnist Slicker was already laying out the peculiar Mandelson-Epstein connection, they would have known exactly what they were dealing with. ➡️ Watch the full episode of Page 94 on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnCe...

Watching Mock the Week on TLC and disappointed at the lack of subtitles

Sat down with my Dad to watch a recording of the new 'Mock the Week' on TLC. No subtitles. Disappointed Dad. #EverydayAbleism @daraobriain.bsky.social

Every time the Winted Olympics rolls round, I question whether or not I am actually an English speaker.

I can only assume the BBC team are actually in Italy as opposed to Salford because it is cheaper to fly there than buy train tickets for everyone to Manchester.

🚨NEW Epstein Co-Owned Venture Fund with Palantir Founder as it Entered UK Government The convicted sex trafficker co-owned a fund with Peter Thiel, now embedded in Britain’s most critical infrastructure, with the help of Peter Mandelson bylinetimes.com/2026/02/04/j...

I can't believe this is even a question 😂 Palestine aren't competing for the same reason when Jamaica send a bobsleigh team, it makes the news... Non snowy, icy, relatively flat countries aren't mucking about on skis or the luge all that often. The UK barely is, and we have a smidge of snow.

Hi @angelabarnes.bsky.social, hun can you do the deafies a solid and have a word about the lack of subtitles on the Mock The Week reboot? It's soooooo disappointing!!

Can our man @daraobriain.bsky.social use his Irish charm on whoever at TLC, Discovery+, Sky etc to tell them that in 2026 it is NOT OK to have no subtitles on their catch up? Literally neither option tried has subtitles on offer. Hard of hearing people wanna bring the #MockTheWeek feels back too!

Why are so many people now acting surprised or dumb as to why Keir Starmer put Mandelson in as Ambassador? We all know why - Trump is a shady c*nt and you have to fight fire with fire.

Oh, if we are seriously removing Peter Madelson from the House or Lords, let's do Lord Lebedev and Boris' whatsherface while we are at it, shall we? Sort of rid 1 rid 3 deal? After all, we are told how hard it is - so if you can do 1 you 3, right?

#bbclaurak tries to get a gotcha. Zack, you refuse to fly. How can you be a candidate for high office if you'd refuse to ever get on a plane? Well Laura, in that situation I'd get on a plane.

Welsh people can be dodgy too you know, we don't always have to make the gold chain geezer character have an East End/Essex accent. #DeathInParadise

Oh, OH, so did he torrent Match Of The Day, or did he use a VPN to access iPlayer??? #DeathInParadise

Made their own bao. Sausage meat filling. Dipping them in tomato sauce. "It's like a sausage roll but fluffy". Lads, we might have a new locally adapted fusion cuisine.

Filed my tax return last week. Wondering what the HMRC would have done if I'd neglected to declare £380,000 on account of the fact that "I don't do computers." #Farage

I hope the various tourism boards of Spain appreciate how much influence Michael Portillo has on my boomer parents travel plans. Pretty sure Asturias is as good as booked.

Why's me sisters cat looking like he is laying the foundation to throw a sickie off work tomorrow?

Leccy blankets are still up there with the best ever inventions. The audiable "Ahhhhhhh....." as it envelops you. Wonderful.

It's not voters fault. It's the fault of a media which deliberately spreads misinformation.

In a full Letitia Cropley moment, my mum has announced she is making 'pakora cupcakes'.

The richest individual on Earth should not own the keys to the largest disinformation machine on the planet. It's not censorship to switch X off. It's common sense. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

How does a crown come off whilst eating congee?

Kids today in Essex decreeing it isnt fair they have to go to school whilst those in Aberdeenshire don't.
