Just ordered in a restaurant in Bulgaria and the waiter looked at me with real gravity and said "sir, you must know that this doesn't come with any sort of potato". I've never felt truly seen and supported like that before. Weeping.

- Imagine giving up a couple of hours to be interviewed by the Guardian, and then buying the paper to see that they've opened with this.
- I'll never forget my little interaction with Prince Philip.
- My partner bought a CD player that we can plug into our car so we can play our CDs and the Amazon listing features the following images. 💀💀💀
- As Rishi says, 30mph is a good British speed in that it embodies the good old fashioned British sense of fair play and healthy competition. Maybe the car will come out on top or maybe the cycling child will. At 20mph the child will usually live, which seems unfair on the car. 🇬🇧Rishi Sunak tells me that Wales’ 20mph policy does not reflect “the right values of the British people.”
- Replying to @benpartridgeThe resulting side order of potatoes as large as the main dish has now left me bloated and sweating. Listless. Bilious. Experiencing deep corporeal distress. System-wide failure. BRING ON THE CRÈME BRÛLÉE.
- Football songs Wales: despite hundreds of years of oppression and existential challenges of different kinds, our spirit, culture and language still survive and will prevail forever. England: This woman, Caroline, is absolutely brilliant.
- Already looking forward to the opening ceremony of Brisbane 2032 where a thousand-strong choir sing the words "a succulent Chinese meal?"
- The guy on the Madri bottle. You meet him at a wedding and you think he looks like a knob but then he's actually really nice and keeps saying "that's amazing buddy" when you tell him about your life which actually makes you dislike him.
- I was laid off by Twitter this week. I was behind such characters as "Russ In Cheshire", "Jim Felton", and that barrister who mercilessly clubbed a fox to death on Boxing Day whilst wearing only a kimono.
- Alex Turner looking like a character from Toast these days. Can imagine Matt Berry seeing him, narrowing his eyes and saying "Ken Topsoil".
