I understand it makes a lot of difference to people working in pubs and restaurants and probably other areas

Personally, though, it’s a bit underwhelming.

“This is the most boring possible Terminator sequel, where the robots aren’t here to murder or enslave you but rather to text you snidely that you won’t need to come into work tomorrow or, for that matter, ever again.”

I wonder what proportion of the country will be significantly more free on ‘Freedom Day’?

“No10 has refused to condemn football fans who boo England players for taking a knee before Euro championship matches”

My guess is that the memory of Megan Rapinoe and Donald Trump is now keeping the Prime Minister awake at night

My word of the day today is ‘mitigate’.

Enjoyed the old blokes on telly talking like teenagers

“That would have been disgusting”

“Absolute filth, as they say”

#UKRvENG #MOTD #Euro2021

Good performance from Mason Mount and the rest of them

#UKRvENG

Marvelous national anthem

I’d sort of forgotten about this…before Esperance was famous for a rather fine @clonehenge , it was famous for getting pelted with bits of spaceship

#TodayILearned that Clive of India wasn’t very nice

@DalrympleWill and @rfidler variously compare him to Lord Voldemort, Kerry Packer with infantry, Murdoch with nuclear submarines and the 18th Century Godfather of Market Drayton

Today I have been wondering what would be worse - a world without strawberries or a world without raspberries

In case you wanted something else to worry about

Includes the information that “Two weeks ago, the Marchwood power station near Southampton was forced to shut down after its systems were blocked by jellyfish: a first in the site’s history.”

My word of the day today is ‘reverberate’.

The Coronas just popped up on Spotify.

It reminded me of when we saw the bloke from the Coronas at the @UnionChapelUK, just before Christmas 2019….and the name reminded me of fizzy pop

Stuff got real.

I find this picture really ‘triggering’, as I believe younger people say.

Regular viewers may have gathered - I’m not keen on either meat or the Prime Minister., but it’s not that….it’s the hygiene

Having raw meat draped around a suit jacket makes me cringe very, very hard twitter.com/SpecCoffe…

“The prime minister’s initial assumption was his default one about scandals: media storms will blow themselves out and most of the public have as little interest in integrity in government as he does.”

My word of the day today is ‘kelp’.

The caption is ‘Ernest Hemingway in Italy during the First World War’

I don’t think of Hemingway being old enough to have been involved in WW1 t.co/WX6krIq0q…
