Who would have believed it?

@jacksonhinklle Big talk from Private Bonespurs... 🙄

🚨🇬🇧🇺🇸 BREAKING — Trump Mocked UK: "They have 2 old broken aircraft carriers, barely work but I guess we can use them." I say, "Yeah, I'd love a little help." He said, "No, sir, we'd rather wait till you win."

@nickimoraa I love my perfume but I wear a very weak, barely detectible scent on office days as I understand that some people are super-sensitive to smell. You wouldn't expect someone to tolerate working next to an overly loud speaker blaring at them all day... same thing really.

Does your boss have the right to tell you that your perfume is too strong and it’s offensive to others in the office and you should stop using it ?

@CliffW08950229 Here...

I have to say definitely on January 6th.

@GoldenGoonerlg @JusLord Don't think so but I could be wrong. I thought he'd ditched it out of paranoia but I'm surprised his Dad, Toya and Leanne don't seem to have mentioned it being missing yet...

@Rucksackwriter @JusLord Thought he got another one 🤔 im sure his Dad has phoned him

#corrie Are the writers working on yet another "health issue" storyline by making Sam have schizophrenia or some other disorder with visual and auditory hallucinations? It's getting to be more like Casualty than a light-hearted Northern soap opera!

@GoldenGoonerlg @JusLord But he threw his phone away so not able to take a photo...?

@JusLord Such a stupid scene, course the 1st thing he would do is, take a photo then run then check the photo & see its a empty bench. Makes much more sense but the stupid writers are idiots

@1goodtern Same, same...

This is abhorrent to me.

@_InfoGram_ Pretty sure he did that the first time around.

BREAKING 🚨: 🇺🇸 Donald Trump is on the verge of becoming the worst President in American history.

@aliciaandrz Maybe this is the break you need to cover that dental work! 😆😜

it is incredibly important to check your message requests now & then. you never know what opportunity you might miss out on.

@aliciaandrz Well done! X

I have a long layover & airports are huge triggers for me as an alcoholic. I glanced at a menu & cocktails are 20+ dollars. I cackled. I might be an alcoholic but I’m also a humanities professor. we don’t make nearly enough money for that. my sobriety lives to see another day.

@deidrejowen With armageddon looming I'd say just puck your favourite?

Where are we at on the doomsday clock? Like is this a gin night or a whiskey night?

@JamesCWarne Uff, I'm sorry. That must be hard to deal with. I hope it clears soon x

Some of my twitches come and go over time, but i have a couple which are really noticeable. Frustratingly they are both happening at the same time right now. My brain is an endless scream

@Mr_Husky1 If they want to be picky they can pay for a hotel... 🙄

AITAH for refusing to let my brother-in-law and his new wife use our bedroom during their honeymoon stay? My husband (36M) and I (35F) live in a very scenic area — the kind of place people pick for their honeymoon. His brother (30M) and soon-to-be wife (28F) asked if they could stay with us after their wedding since they’re on a tight budget. We said absolutely — happy to host. We have a two-bedroom house. The guest room is also my home office, so it has an air mattress instead of a permanent bed. Not ideal, but it works fine for guests. Last week, my BIL asked my husband if they could stay in our bedroom instead because, in their words, an air mattress "doesn't feel honeymoon-appropriate." When my husband asked how I felt, I told him honestly: I’m not comfortable giving up our bedroom, especially for a honeymoon. It’s our personal space, our bed, and it just felt… too intimate. My husband agreed. Well, word got around the family, and now his sister is saying we’re being inconsiderate and that “it’s their honeymoon, they shouldn’t have to sleep on an air mattress.” My husband is now torn because he doesn’t want family tension. But I’m still a firm no. I don’t think being generous hosts means giving up the most private part of our home, especially when the request feels less about comfort and more about wanting a fully private, fully “romantic” setup — which I’m just not comfortable providing. We already offered what we reasonably can: a free place to stay in a beautiful location. I don’t think hosting someone means surrendering our bedroom. Credit - amitheassholee

@1goodtern I unknowingly jumped on the autoimmune bus via a mystery virus so agree, you should be avoiding viruses at all costs - particularly a nasty one like Covid.

Here's a quick personal story. Twenty something years ago, I picked up a mystery infection that hammered my system and left me with all sorts of health problems.

@aliciaandrz Happy birthday! Xx

happy birthday to me. this is 38 (ready to give a big invited talk on my second book).

@JamesCWarne This makes me chuckle every.single.time...

I’m such a child 🙌🙌

@DeborahMeaden Me too, me too... 🤭

That’s me well and truly done….

@lewispringle It kind of expands and shrinks like magic:

I know the Rovers has been a TARDIS for 65 years, but since when has the kitchen been that size?? #corrie

@mamboitaliano__ What the hell is in that ice cream that it doesn't seem to melt quickly?

The European mind could never comprehend this monstrosity being passed off as a succulent dessert 🍰
