Well you should've tied them down better.
A sign in a shop, locally printed in a default word processor font on A4 paper saying “helium balloons are now upstairs”, stuck partially over a more corporate official-looking sign (red and yellow, parts of words that might be “for latest offers" visible) which has “boyesstores” in the corner, then a Facebook logo

The most ambitious crossover event in history? I think not…
A mashup of gritty urban crime sitcom Only Fools and Horses and Slow Horses called, appropriately enough, Only Fools and Slow Horses.

With already darn high exhaustion… I now have a little bit of flu. Currently lying in the foetal position on the floor (because getting up to the bed at the moment is too much effort!) So, how’s your weekend?

Thoughts for the committee: - make Loreen a British citizen - create The Bucks Fizz Act 2027 that forces the original four members to reform - extradition of Simon Cowell (nothing to do with Eurovision - I don't like him) - force our 2027 act to be Ed Sheeran so everyone else drops out

This made me smile, attached to an ordinary cast iron drainpipe on a house in Durham. #TinyJoys
A cast iron drain pipe going down the side of a white-painted house.  A crest of red feathers and a bright orange beak made from something solid have been attached around it.  It looks remarkably like "Feathers McGraw", the evil criminal penguin from The Wrong Trousers.
