Couldn’t help noticing the banner headline about @TheRealAC3 on this paper, featured in the Blair and Brown doc

I shall be tutting out loud….OUT LOUD, I tell you!….at anyone on here giving cryptic, or not so cryptic, clues as to what the Wordle word of the day is.
“I have noticed a correlation between the length of time that people keep you waiting at the start of a meeting & how good a person they are
1 minute late? Maybe they’re having technical difficulties. 5 minutes? Bit cheeky. 10? Worse than Satan himself.”
My word of the day today is ‘swarthy’.
Tonight some Conservative MP I hadn’t heard of was defending Johnson by saying the poor chap “was ambushed with a cake”

Poor old Sue Gray
Scope creep from hell
My word of the day today is ‘griddle’.
As you get older, Desert Island Discs anniversaries seem to come around more and more frequently
“Life is like a toilet roll, the closer you get to the end, the faster it spins”
True.
Enjoying the @sodajerker episode with @donmclean
Possibly the first interview I’ve heard in which Don mentions American Pie before the interviewers do
