@ktumulty Yes! Restores your faith in people!

I’m not sure I ever watched West Wing. Do I have to go back and do it now?

@historyinmemes Guinness

Name one thing made in Ireland without Googling

@SarahsGarden12 Omg, me too! You're describing my garden!

All my potatoes have blight. It’s taken my outside tomatoes too. My courgettes haven’t fruited. My French beans failed. My runner beans will be just one picking? The cabbage have failed. The broccoli have failed. As did the radish. Even the cosmos hasn’t flowered. 🤷🏻‍♀️

@ThatEricAlper Casablanca 'play it Sam'

What movie is instantly recognizable with only one quote?

@SoVeryBritish Reverse the loo roll on their loo roll holder

What are some guaranteed ways to insult a British person? I’ve got: 1. Accept a cup of tea, take one sip and then leave the rest 2. Don’t put the next customer divider down in the supermarket 3. Criticise their home town when you’re not from their home town (even though they themselves think their home town is rubbish)

Update! The Police have requested additional powers to disperse Anti Social Behaviour. Please help them do their work. Please stay away!

A S35 Dispersal Order has been authorised by Inspector Mason for an area in Walthamstow from 1400hrs 07/08/24 to 0400hrs 08/08/2024 This gives officers & PCSO’s the powers to disperse anti-social behaviour. Ref CAD 4009/07 August. @wfcouncil

This is X’s official policy. Does it strike you that anyone in the company - starting with @elonmusk - has actually read it ?

Nigel farage wants you to think that Britain has an immigration problem. It doesn't. Britain had a problem with millionaires hoarding wealth, egged on by politicians and the press. Britain has a problem with racism. Britain has a @Nigel_Farage problem. RT if you agree.

Excellent post by @EmmaBurnell_. Describes exactly how I'm feeling.

Funny how Suella Braverman called the almost 100% peaceful protest events for the people of #Gaza ‘hate marches’ but she seems to have absolutely nothing to say about violent English Nazi terrorism, some of which she legitimised. A complete disgrace to politics and her country.

Anybody who doesn't know the dynamics, history and supposed pretexts of murderous pogroms, in the UK and elsewhere, should be informing themselves, sharpish. Call this what it is.

@CarlBovisNature Scabious?

Name this wild flower? 🤔🌸

Kenyan runner Abel Mutai was just a few feet from the finish line, but became confused with the signage and stopped, thinking he had completed the race. A Spanish runner, Ivan Fernandez, was right behind him and, realizing what was happening, started shouting at the Kenyan to continue running. Mutai didn't know Spanish and didn't understand. Realizing what was taking place, Fernandez pushed Mutai to victory. A journalist asked Ivan, "Why did you do that?" Ivan replied, "My dream is that someday we can have a kind of community life where we push and help each other to win." The journalist insisted, "But why did you let the Kenyan win?" Ivan replied, "I didn't let him win, he was going to win. The race was his." The journalist insisted again, "But you could have won!" Ivan looked at him and replied, "But what would be the merit of my victory? What would be the honor in that medal? What would my mother think of that?" Your comments on this
