As I’ve seen this confused a few times, please note that Robin Gibb was a much-beloved member of the Bee Gees, whilst Robbie Gibb is the BBC board member who also, totally coincidentally, was editorial adviser in the set-up of GB News. I know, Bee Gees, GBeebies, a bit confusing…

The Polish foreign minister, a writer and journalist who covered the Soviet war in Afghanistan in the 1980s, clearly knows a thing or two about a patiently-timed response.

New Study Confirms Sharks Just Really Angry Dolphins
GAINESVILLE, FL—Upending the conventional theory that the animals are different species, a study conducted by marine biologists at the University of Florida confirmed Thursday that sharks are just really angry dolphins. “An exhaustive five-year-long field study combined with comprehensive DNA analysis proves that sharks are actually dolphins that are super fucking pissed,” said lead researcher Dr. Karen Delgado, noting that the reason sharks were considered solitary animals was because they were simply livid dolphins who needed to go off by themselves for a while to simmer down. “Once a dolphin becomes furious, it undergoes a number of physiological changes including growing several rows of jagged teeth, sprouting gills, and developing a layer of skin that seals up the blowhole. In rare cases, a dolphin can become so enraged that its head will morph into a flat, hammer-like shape. Eventually, the mammal calms down and rejoins the pod after its dolphin-like features return.” Delgado added that her team’s study comes in the wake of a similar discovery that walruses are profoundly wise sea lions.

A meme with a post that says, "The 'why won’t this fucking drawer open' starter pack." The image shows a potato masher, a cheese grater, and a long-handled ladle, three of the worst offenders when it comes to getting stuck in a kitchen drawer. The universal struggle. 😅

As being “free to make our own trade deals” has delivered the square root of jack shit and, as Brexiters still can’t tell us what EU regulations they want to scrap, closer alignment with the EU should be a no-brainer. Great work @bestforbritain.bsky.social www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Good letter (in The Times) about Trump’s repulsive Gaza idea… Keep the receipts of all those who are cheering him on as he destabilises the world with his greedy, prejudiced idiocy.
Sir, The idea of President Trump to decant the residents of Gaza to Egypt and Jordan and turn it into a Trumpian Mar-a-Lago in the Mediterranean (News, Feb 5) surely confirms he has lost his marbles. Diplomats and politicians in the UK may have to hold their noses and act as if Trump is a serious politician but there is no excuse for political commentators suggesting that Trump is at heart a rational and sensible politician albeit with some character defects. He is, as is clearly revealed in his pronouncements on Canada, Greenland, Panama and now Gaza, detached from reality and because of his power a very dangerous person.
