Okay then hive mind - when you search Google Maps for "Charlton, London" it comes up with - you've guessed it - a map of Charlton. However, its added a boundary that I don't recognise ... anyone know what it relates to?

Ooooh, I nearly forgot this one (different albums but same band and artist).

I do like album cover mashups - accidental or otherwise!

Parts of two albums covers shown together.
Top half is from Gentle Giant's self-titled album (1970), the bottom half is Steven Wilson's 2013 album 'The Raven That Refused To Sing (And Other Stories)'

Cover art of The Doors' 1985 compilation album 'The Best of The Doors' overlaid onto that of Nirvana's 'Nevermind' (1991)

Album cover of Porcupine Tree's 'In Absentia' (2002) overlaid across that of King Crimson's 'In the Court of the Crimson King' (1969)

Norwich City Women FC Tampa Bay Sun FC A finish reminiscent of Holly Kennard's fabulous goal for Norwich City Women v Chatham Town last February! ... and such a contrast in the commentary styles! #OTBC #NCWFC #TampaBaySun

Richard Thresh@richardthresh· Jun 5

And with goals like this, you can see why!

I do like watching football, but I do have to say, tonight's Champions League final is very poor fare. More than disappointing ...

Richard Thresh@richardthresh· May 29

I've always had my suspicions ...

Four frame cartoon - two cats in conversation.
First Frame
Cat 1: "DOMESTICATION COULD BE CONSIDERED UNETHICAL"
Cat 2: [Listens]
Second Frame:
Cat 1: "SURE, THE DOMESTICATED ANIMAL
GETS BENEFITS. BUT THE SPECIES LOSES ITS FREEDOM AND IS FOREVER CHANGED"
Cat 2: [Listens]
Third Frame:
[Cats look meaningfully at each other]
Fourth Frame:
Cat 2: "S0, ARE YOU SAYING WE SHOULD LET THE HUMANS GO WILD AGAIN?"
[Cats 1 & 2 look at empty food bowls]
Cat 1: "WELL, MAYBE NOT RIGHT NOW"

.... it amused me. Satire, but far too close to the truth.

Norwich City Women FC The last game of the season was yesterday: a celebration of a good year for the team (2nd in the league, just missing promotion, and developing well under coach Andy Cook). Sunday's Harrod Sport Women's Cup Final win over Mulbarton was an enjoyable finale. #OTBC #NCWFC

I don't know whose words these are, but I think they may be onto something here ...

Unattributed quote:
"The secret to the Muppets is that they
are not very good at what they do:
Kermit's not a brilliant host;
Fozzie's not a great comedian;
Miss Piggy's not a wonderful singer.

None of them are actually good at it,
but they absolutely love it.
They're like a family,
and they like putting on the show.

They have joy, and because of the joy,
it doesn't matter that they're not good at
it - and that's what we should all be like ...

Muppets"
