Nice try Relay. Now get off your lazy arse and bring it to my door.

A WhatsApp message from the delivery company Relay that says collection is most secure and offering to switch to collect my parcel from a shop instead of delivering it to my door, like I paid for. The cheapskates.

Brilliant letter from Stuart Thompson to Jeremy Clarkson about his comments that benefit claimants should write weekly thank you letters to tax payers detailing how they spend their benefits each week.

Fans of Game of Thrones, there are tickets currently available for the Mad King at Stratford-upon-Avon. It went ahead last night so unlikely to be cancelled now. #gameofthrones #themadking secure.rsc.org.uk/events/game-...

Got publicly shamed by a theatre barman last night after going straight up to the bar. I didn’t notice 2 people had decided to form a single line queue. And I had pre-ordered drinks.

JFC Game of Thrones The Mad King play at Stratford tonight was ridiculously good. If you managed to get tickets, you’re in for a treat. No spoilers though, I have a sworn shield.

Never met Tony Peters, don’t know who he is, but a million years ago on Facebook he posted this and I don’t think anyone’s ever put it better.

A summation of the situation where people are directed to focus their ire at fraudulent benefit claimants rather than at the rich who are the cause of all poverty.

Hard relate from the Welsh valleys, where fossil fuel extraction left deep scars in the landscape, killed a lot of people - including the children buried alive at Aberfan - and a legacy of toxic waste which still hasn't been properly remediated. I'm sorry your solar field is a funny tinge though.

This week, it was announced that the construction of a mega-solar project with a capacity of 2.1GW had been completed. It’s on the site of former coal mines, and will provide enough energy to power around 1.5 million homes. That one is in Greece - but there's plenty of similar projects in the UK:

If Trump had learned early in his life that it’s not always size that matters, maybe *some* things would be different today.

A screen print of a Telegrapg article that shows the USS Gerald R Ford is 333 metres in length vs HMS Queen Elizabeth’s 284 metre length. Trump is quoted as saying “They’re toys compared to what we have. We don’t need it and we don’t need them.”
