sadly the huge leaps forward in machine translation are likely to deprive us of such reliable gems as "dry" and "fuck" in Chinese using the same simplified character or my all-time favorite "Racist Park" (which was also an accurate description of the park, as it happened)

Full marks to Bobby J for not bothering to mention that this was entirely due to being given £45 million from the Labour government and told to do it. Even a Reform council couldn't fuck that up.

Incredible moment just now on the train platform. A bloke cracks out x2 such loud farts that his girlfriend storms away in disgust. When he follows, she gives him a colossal bollocking, of which I only heard the following excerpts: “It’s not funny… I’m sick of it… Not just tonight… At the funeral.”

History so often repeats itself, but I find it utterly bizarre that the UK does not compete as a country, but its constituent parts. Are we the only country in the world to do this? Not that Scotland would ever entertain such heresy.

Big brewers mislead drinkers about their products’ “craft” credentials and geographical origin. Beers falsely marketed as foreign imports. Small breweries unfairly elbowed off the bar by larger rivals. Is there any sector of UK business that is pristine?

So Humphrey Smith, of Sam Smith's brewery, has finally died. He was an odious creature and I certainly won't be mourning his passing. Plus Old Brewery bitter is distinctly average. Yes it's cheap, but as they say you can't polish a turd. #bskybeer
