"What is an app? I honestly have no idea" Adrian Chiles

An old classic:

"Watching the Olympics is making me wonder: is sport good for us?" Adrian Chiles 7 Aug 2024

Thought there would be an auto-thumbnail! Anyway here's a page from it:

Black and white hand-drawing of the Tower of London, with 6 ravens flying away from the building

Text: "If the ravens leave the fortress it is said that 'the kingdom and the Tower of London will fall'

But apart from that it's a pretty low-stakes job"

I hear A24 are actually buying the rights to this one:

"I boiled my wooden spoons -and what emerged from them will haunt me forever" Adrian Chiles

Truly a genre unto themselves

"I started filling out a survey -and was plunged into serious soul-searching"

Remembered the Adrian Chiles column headlines again

"Struggling with the nine times table? I have a failsafe method"

Phone died but I wanted to share just how many people in the pub immediately got up to go the loo as soon as the match ended

Fun fact: the curse in Widow's Bay (that anyone born there will also die there) is the same curse Aleister Crowley put on my hometown, Leamington Spa. Where I was also born. It's also the home of lawn tennis

Some of the facts about the town include:

The ‘wickedest man in Britain’ was born here –
Leamington was the birthplace of Britain’s most famous occultist, the so-called ‘Great Beast’ Aleister Crowley.

He was born in 1875 to Edward and Emily Crowley and lived in Leamington until he was six-years-old. The house where he was born – 30 Clarendon Square – is still standing today although it has since been converted into flats.

By all accounts Crowley didn’t spend a lot of time in Leamington, but local folklore suggests that in later life he placed a curse on anyone born in the town and deemed it impossible for them to ever escape.

Can't believe we're down in the second half, when one of our players literally has four arms

Jude Bellingham post-goal, fists clenched, another England player behind him punching the air in such a way that it looks like Jude has a pair of bonus arms

Actually now that you mention it

A background scene from a Roadrunner cartoon (possibly this one?) with the A STANLEY KUBRICK FILM title, as in the opening of The Shining (which show a car driving around very looney-tunesesque winding mountain roads)

Probably the heat, but this has made me made me unreasonably angry. Toretto what are you doing

Screenshot of a The Wrap article, with the headline: 'No, 'Fast & Furious 11' is Not in Production' above a photo of Paul Walker and Vin Diesel from one of the previous Fasts

Text from the article: "“I’m on set. People are grinding. Incredible crews are working,” he said. “Over the past three and a half years we have been grinding to try to make the most amazing finale.”

Many assumed that the post proved Diesel’s follow-up finale to 2023’s “Fast X” was finally underway, but TheWrap has learned that is not the case.

What Diesel was actually filming was a promo for the World Cup that aired yesterday during the USA Belgium game, where he is obviously playing Toretto."

Sally's not so much "going on an adventure" as "having an existential crisis*" here but (*although when you think about it, don't the two invariably go hand in hand??)

1 SALLY: (crying) "I'm gonna be forty!"
2 HARRY: (sympathetic) "When?"
3 SALLY: (hanging her head) "Someday."
4 HARRY: "In eight years."

FBI: CIA sounds so much like a David Wain series

Poster for Wain's Netflix series MEDICAL POLICE. We see a woman and man in plain clothes, pointing guns. The tagline reads, 'They're cops. And doctors. At the *same time*!'

Yule Lads Day 4: It's the turn of Spoon Licker! What festive mischief will he wreak upon your home? What spine-tingling tales of his exploits have frightened countless children through the years? Smithsonian magazine has this to say about him:

YULE LADS YULE LADS WHAT YOU GONNA DO WHAT YOU GONNA DO WHEN THEY COME FOR YULE www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/m...

Headline: Meet the Thirteen Yule Lads, Iceland’s Own Mischievous Santa Clauses

Subheading: The Yule Lads used to be a lot more creepy than they are today, too, but in 1746 parents were officially banned from tormenting their kids with the stories

Went to the Christmas tree festival and one if the local school's trees had a Prime energy drink themed decoration

This is my favourite confusing sign in a christmas shop

A rectangular festive sign with an illustration of santa. It reads, 'No poutin' - it's time Santa time'

This is my second favourite confusing sign in a christmas shop from last year
