Looks a touch like Wrexham swimming baths by day but lit up at night it's spectacular.

This is very much a normal reaction and a reasonable comparison.

THE TRUTH IS MARCHING ON #notapestry #notfrombayeux

TAPAS (Trump Always Prevaricates About Spain).

Today's Trade Secrets, another wildly optimistic hostage to fortune. The Iran war won't mean global inflation anywhere near the Covid-Ukraine spike & neither is at all like the wage-price spirals of the 1970s. We aren't going back to a stagflationary era. #goingonabearhunt as.ft.com/r/acb07043-7...

Runner-up in the John Moores prize for painting at the Walker gallery in Liverpool, 1987. Should have won.

Made-up names.

Again I urge the country to unite behind Danny Dyer in the forthcoming Clacton by-election. #ThePeoplesCandidate

I wish to reiterate my longstanding position that, while she seems like a good person and I vaguely wish her well, I have no opinion on the music, cultural import, clothing choices or wedding arrangements of Taylor Swift. HT @emmavj.bsky.social cc @ciaranm.bsky.social

Middle-power alliance my arse.

You're actually a bit thick and an arse, aren't you? He's widely known as the king of the north. *muted*

Why yes, this is personal. Why do you ask?

Have booked my tickets to see it but I will not compromise my principles. It’s an embroidery.

This is a George Maher in Chicago. He was also partial to bunging in a bit of Arts & Crafts to keep you on your toes. That is all. 7/7

Could it quite genuinely be this? In any case, as a Londres resident I'm aware these things go both ways.

This is bollocks because if you say "don't know" or "neutral" to everything it assumes your opinion is halfway along each spectrum (which, madly, makes you Giorgia Meloni). It needs a "care-don't care" axis where I would end up being Søren Kierkegaard or J-P Sartre. cc @ciaranm.bsky.social

Do we still do #ff? In which case follow @terriblemapshq.bsky.social for, er, terrible maps, though their finest work is on Facebook. eg

This randomly comes to mind, from Anthony Bourdain.

“Middle-power alliance” my arse. Treating everything as a zero-sum game as per. #areyouwatchingMarkCarney

It's Count Binface, isn't it. This is the moment the deal was done.

I know everyone in British politics is America-brained, but getting the lake in St James’s Park to match the Reflecting Pool is taking the piss.

OK I thought people were joking - Trump actually signed the "deal" with Iran at Versailles?

Was quite pleased with this.

All forms of Capri have made Britain great.

What’s the over/under on how far down this thread you’d have to go to find an American saying something racist about curry?

Not even close to being right, horrendously mistaken. I write from just metres away from this fine Cheshire pub and its excellent menu.

Yours was invented two centuries later *in England*. Hard to overstate the flakiness of your argument here, in fact similar in texture to the flaky pastry used in an Eccles cake.
