For no particular reason, I’ve been thinking a lot today about that old Circassian proverb that goes öküz saraya çıkınca kral olmaz; ama saray ahır olur, or “a bullock does not turn into a king when he moves into the palace; the palace turns into a barn”


What she said 🤷‍♀️

Anyone else wondering how 71 million humans look at the choices and decide the orange racist rapist criminal is the better option?

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.


The 09:19 disappeared off the board without ever showing up and then this happened. @WestMidRailway how do I expense all the Ubers I regularly have to get on a Sunday morning because the 09:19 goes awol?

Absolutely this from @mrchrisaddison I was equally delighted to get #bustedvsmcfly and Parkway Drive tickets last week, and also go to (and sing in!) classical concerts. Love what you love.

And there’s more. This one breaks down the costs of being single and it’s quite scary…

The solo penalty, from rent to holidays: ‘Being single is costing me £12,000 extra a year’ theguardian.com/money/2024/oct…



This. 1000x this.

‘It is a lot cheaper for couples’: single people feel penalised on prices theguardian.com/money/2024/oct…

If this was the other way round young people would be told to stop drinking fancy coffee, stop going on holiday and cancel your Netflix subscription.

This winter, pensioners will have to choose between heating and eating. And that’s on Keir Starmer.

Every single one of these pensioners have houses and utilities my friends could not even dream of. If you can afford membership to a tennis club you can afford heating bills. These people do not need an extra £200 a year.

Dear @AvantiWestCoast, you’ve just refused a Delay Repay claim which the train manager told us we could claim as you say the service was run by Southern. Southern does not run services into New Street! I assume a computer glitch. How do I appeal?


I don’t often present these, but here I am 🙂
