Disappointed, but not surprised that the Euro 2022 win has been celebrated with a "meh". It was fantastic to watch, but so many people seem obsessed with playing it down. I'm fully #Lionesses
Been about five years since I first read this, on the English language's *completely universal but totally invisible* adjective hierarchy, and I can honestly say I've thought about it most days since.

On the 15th January in 1704 Mary Brookes was married to Thomas Channing in Dorchester at the age of just 16. Within a year, she was on trial for her life, accused of killing her husband. Out this month, subscribe now to receive notification of release!

After treading in poo and getting it on the table, my dog jumped up and ate the ENTIRE tray of schnitzel I made, immediately sicked all of it up in the garden and is now barking maniacally to be let out to eat the sick. It’s Disney moment after Disney moment in my house.

What a pity to focus on one person making a profit, rather than writing about the thousands of 3D folks who printed masks, ear savers, etc and DONATED them to health workers. @dougalshawBBC @GeekyFayeArt @joeltelling @toms3dp BBC News bbc.co.uk/news/business-5809…
Managed to get to Aldbourne, Wilts the other day. No sign of any daemons though, and the "Cloven Hoof" seems to have reverted to the Blue Boar, looking very nice in the sun. "Chap with the horns, five rounds rapid!" @pipmadeley #DrWho

I'm seriously thinking of becoming a Zippo lighter distributor. If I've learned anything from TV & movies, it's that Americans light fires by throwing on the entire lighter. They must go through dozens in winter. #zippo

@BBCWorld why are you describing this as the bear attacking the dogs? The dogs made the first aggressive move, the bear just defended her cubs. At best it's 50/50, but your description makes it sound like the bear was intentionally aggressive.

Just discovered this self-portrait of Van Gogh at 18. Is it just me, or does Alastair Cook have some explaining to do? @TheBarmyArmy @bbctms

Remembering the 80s, when they tried to sell Weetabix by making it look like it was going to fuck you up outside a flat roofed pub

Why are England still batting? These two aren't going to add any noticeable runs and they don't need them anyway. Get India in for a decent part session tonight! #Channel4Cricket
