I’m not quite sure how to explain what’s happened tonight, because it’s still happening - but here goes…
At 4:40pm I jumped on a train from London to Edinburgh..
It was comfy, it was quiet
In hindsight, too good to last…

Etymology of the day is ‘mugshot’: the use of ‘mug’ for a face looks back to 18th-century drinking mugs that often represented a grotesque human face. Their unintelligent expression probably introduced ‘mug’ as an insult for a stupid or gullible individual.

A friend of mine's just sent me this. Can't find it on Twitter so thought I'd post it. It's fabulous. The account, marvin_uganda, is well worth a look if you're on Instagram.

I've come across A LOT of good 17th- and 18th-century Quaker names over the past 3.5 years, as I've worked on my thesis. Now that my thesis is done and submission is near, it's time to share the more than 90 wildest early Quaker names I've found (in alphabetical order):

Ideally the towns of Cheddar or Stilton, for example, should be twinned with a nice port, such as Honfleur in Normandy.

What’s the funniest joke in the history of television? Has to be a single joke/gag don’t come here detailing entire episodes and story arcs. “Dead dove do not eat” type of stuff.

Spotted this continuity error in TITANIC.
As the ship is sinking this guy starts singing “Gangsta’s Paradise” by Coolio. The Titanic sank in 1912, “Gangsta’s Paradise” wasn’t released until 1995, over 80 years AFTER Titanic sank. A bit of an embarrassing mistake really 😬😬
