The best cheese - and it’s not close - I have had in my life was “Cuillin” from a tiny independent called the West Highland Dairy. On the Scottish mainland near the Skye bridge. Never found the place again or seen it advertised. The Brigadoon of cheese.

In further “Nick states the bleedin obvious” news, The Odyssey is a great blockbuster film. Well acted, well directed, and refreshingly well lit even when they are in a cave or the belly of a wooden horse. It flew by, though the last couple of scenes could have lost a couple of minutes each.

Winchelsea’s nice. #insight

Coffee shops toast both sides of your toastie challenge. For SIX QUID I want more than a tasty side and a raw side 😤

Proper pop star

The whole thread is well worth it bsky.app/profile/wade...

Stockard Channing held sway

It would be nice just once to spread one slice of toast with marmalade without the marmalade ending up all over my plate, fingers, beard, and sometimes floor 😒

Will it be Wes as a quid pro quo for not standing? Will it be Ed or is he too Stalinist 🥴? Will it be Shabana 🤷🏻‍♂️? No, it’s a guy nobody was talking about at all. Much political journalism makes football transfer speculation seem accurate.

@rosejudson.bsky.social Going back to the early Books of Our Times that I missed due to not knowing about them. Gilgamesh as “a semi-divine border collie trapped in a studio apartment” is a superb, evocative turn of phrase 👏👏

So, was that the worst World Cup final ever? The other candidates in my lifetime would be 1990, 1994 and 2006.

This is the biggest vibe kill since George Michael decided to do “one off the new album” at the 2012 Olympic closing ceremony

Argentina defending in numbers and niggling, Messi quiet, their opponents passing around but final ball v poor. It’s like watching Wednesday’s game all over again.

Yellow card given for the third yellow card offence, better ratio than for much of the tournament 🙄

LOL Mowbray namechecking “AKA Rocky”

Perfect day for a Steam Rally 🚂

On a very short list for best 12” ever

Car Trouble, a hideously ill-advised comedy which could easily have killed Julie Walters’s career (it was just after Educating Rita).
