Not for the first time, I have a pangram for the #NYT #spellingbee but it won't accept it. Do they not get cold feet in New York?

I'm surprised he hasn't renamed it "American Intelligence". I presume he does this to make it easier to remember.

Go to Søstrene Grene. Their prices are bizarre - £12.36, £4.74, £2.14. I bet nobody pays cash..

Well it's sorted now, and I managed it without running out of goes - which I don't always achieve.

Xi probably responded "no thanks, we have all the designs anyway".

Man puts flags up and complains someone else has taken them down and put them up again. Man needs head examining.

Iain Banks talked about ditching a whole plot line while writing a book. "You need scaffolding when you're building a house but you can remove it when you're finished". It's part of the creative process to take away unnecessary things.

Needs an "until they jumped the shark" caveat. Ted Lasso S4 is pants, Line of Duty (criminal omission, for the first 3 seasons anyway). Modern Family's slow fizzle after the first few seasons . Then Parks and Rec was only good after S1. And no Santa Clarita Diet, Expanse, Slow Horses..

Xi is following Napoleon's recommendation to "never interrupt your enemy when he's making a mistake". He knows Trump's making a mess of the US so he's just biding his time.

Found some of these after a Christmas party - I didn't buy them.. They are possibly the most revolting thing I've ever tried to eat.

Not sure YouGov account for tactical voting, which will not help Reform at all. Though of course Reform do have the BBC on their side

He never buys anything himself so he has no idea. He's also never been remotely poor so has no understanding of what it's like living paycheck to paycheck - true of the Tories in the UK just as much as the GOP in the US.

Had a PE teacher who was fed up with the bunch of us who couldn't run fast. He threatened to slipper us if we didn't run 100M in under 20 seconds, only he was threatening us with a running spike and I think he was at least half serious. It's further than you think.

Wasn't planning to fly to the US any time soon but now I'm not planning to even more.

Restaurant designers need to think of the acoustics. So many places are all hard surfaces and tiles, etc, that they get really noisy with the slightest movement of crockery.

A BMW is not a high status car since everyone assumes you're a w*nker for driving one. There's no need to keep proving it.

It was shite in the '70s when they introduced it then. There's no reason to think it's any better now.

Just seen it myself. Even if it was AI (which does make it any better) somebody had to approve and issue it. One glance and there's only one thing you think of.

Never much liked Hall and Oates but I always remember hearing "She's Gone" when I thought my mother was going to die in the mid 80s. She actually lived another 35 years but I've always had a soft spot for the song.

45 minutes if you walk into the kitchen and all the ingredients are chopped up into little bowls for you, like they are on TV. Once made a Jamie Oliver recipe that "served 6". Did half quantity as there was just two of us but I reckon the "six" mentioned must have just had their Christmas dinner..

The new one really is Ford taking the piss. A mate had a GXL 3000 Mk1. First time I was with him and he floored it at the lights I thought I was going to die. Now that was a car.

When there are classic car rallies in 80 years time, people are still going to turn up in E type jags, Triumph Stags and Morgans. Nobody will be arriving in a Qashqai or a Tesla.

This is a perfect representation of the whole MAGA mindset. No idea what they're voting for, just following the party.

I expect lots of new world records to be set. Like the old joke "I don't need to be faster than the crocodiles, I just need to be faster than you" BBC News - River home to 500 crocodiles chosen as Olympic rowing venue www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympi...

Tell me you don't understand economics without saying you don't understand economics. Although the right answer is to say very few people actually understand economics.

One of Trump's standard responses to someone who has asked him a question he doesn't like is to accuse them of having "terrible ratings". They just have to respond that they're "better than yours".

What do you have to do to vote? I very much doubt he has the cognitive ability to process the decision and possibly not the physical ability to push the button, raise a hand of whatever it is. The light is on but there's clear nobody home.
