Have you watched Jack Tati? The sound is much more spare and I think it works better for what is a similar comedic style.

Just tell me a classic joke. Like "What's brown and sticky? A STICK"

What do you call a man with a rabbit up his bum.

THE FACES OF THE DEAD . . . Between the covers Can crime novels teach you anything about a location? Fans of the late Phil Rickman would argue that they knew the Hereford/Wales borderlands through his Merrily Watkins novels. Readers of Jim Kell…

Especially lovely to read this thoughtful review on publication day...

The abysmal charlatan Rees-Mogg suggesting the British should welcome the re-election of Donald Trump

Jacob Rees-Mogg

Yes and practically empty when compared to other sites in Rome.

Yep, my mum had a letter about an appointment in the Endocrinology department at St. Thomas' hospital

When you get there, Endocrinology is not listed on the A-Z of departments

It's under 'Diabetes and Endocrine'

It shouldn't be like this, it should be a simple thing to address

A roman mosaic in mostly shades of brown featuring 9 panels and a border of stylised waves. Four of the images are head and shoulders shoulder portraits of women who I understand are personifications of the seasons. Each corner panel includes a bird and a stylised image of what I thought might be a jellyfish or medusa but could be something else entirely. The central panel is two men but I’m not certain what they are doing and I can’t find a description.

This is the Mosaic of the Seasons held
in the Palazzo Massimo in Rome. #MosaicMonday My photo.

There must be some scope to reverse that change though, also missing from those figures is the loss of redistributive EU investment, has that been replicated since Brexit? The North of England having some of the poorest areas in Europe used to do quite well in terms of EU investment.

Except, have the rich had to account for the gains they made under Thatcher? I find this graphic by Tom Forth compelling. tomforth.co.uk/incomeandine...

I was going to say rockpooling. Bathyscopes, or homemade or just buckets with a clear bottom and most modern smartphones will take photos in shallow rockpools.

Carnoustie?

Trans women are women. Trans men are men. Trans rights are human rights. #tdov

Happy Trans Day of Visibility. Try not to be arsehole about it. #tdov

A dog tied to a black railing with a red lead under a sign saying “No Dogs” The dog is black with a white bib.

A close up of a large fly on a brick, the fly’s compound eyes are clearly visible and it has an “orange beard”

Sorry, should have been a smiley there - I do actually quite like flies.

Flies, spiders, bees and wasps. Remind me which ones occasionally bite or sting humans by accident or self defence, and which ones have a large number of species that have evolved specifically to bite people or at least mammals - Tabanidae, Culcidae for starters

Are you trying to find out how many of your followers are in their 60s and have a long standing crush?

My favourite French portmanteau describes vegan cheese. It merges faux (fake) and fromage (cheese) to get fauxmage

* read on for more cheesy words and phrases from around the world (this thread may not turn out grate, but hopefully it will be gouda ‘nuff)…

A lot of people clap and cheer at Arkell v Pressdram style legal letters.

But the most deadly legal letters are calm and polite, and this one is lethal.

We all know that physics can only be applied to perfectly spherical bodies, eggs are therefore exempt from physics.

I’ve just learned why, even though European Spanish coger el tren the Latin Americans tomar el tren.

A large, shallow golden bowl displayed on a dark background, its interior densely covered with small raised dots forming concentric circles and patterns, with stylized decorations of suns, crescent moons, and animal figures running around the inner sides.

An amazing gold bowl with depictions of animals, crescent moons and cirlcles representing suns and/or full moons.

It was discovered in 1906 during the construction of a railway line in Zurich-Altstetten, Switzerland. Dating around 1000 BC.

I don’t usually follow football but as I live a mile from Elland Road I am surrounded by people who are very invested in the current bottom six.

I appreciate safeguarding etc etc but we need this head's name and we need them to face consequences. I want an environment where fascists are too terrified of us to be so fucking stupid as to ban books that are no threat whatsoever

Screenshot of a tweet: Ben Graham @BenGrahamUK X.com Britain has been a Christian nation for over 1,400 years. Through wars, plagues, and countless kings, Easter has always been celebrated. Yet now, Cadbury won't even use the word 'Easter' on their eggs. When did celebrating British traditions become controversial? Above a photo of Easter Eggs

Screenshot of a tweet: ClIr Jaymey Mclvor * @McivorJaymey x.com Any chance I can get an Easter Egg please M&S? Will they ever learn It's like they do it on purpose to offend. Easter is not National Chocolate Day. Which extremists are you trying hard to not offend? @marksandspencer @GBNEWS Above images of Easter Eggs in M&S

🧵And we're off, ladies and gentlemen!

It's "they're banning the word EASTER" week.

Regular as clockwork...

So here comes a history lesson and media lesson all rolled into one thread!

PS, I can't believe there's no easter egg emoji?

This was the best I could do - 🗿🥚

🤣 I digress!
