Gonna have to level with you, I'm not a real architect. I just showed up in this turtleneck and, well, everything spiralled from there.

Donald Trump: "The Winning Shot in the Bedminster Club Championship! Thank you very much to all of those who participated. I won with a score of 70, and am so honored in that, unlike the rest of the field, I'm given very little time to practice, because I'm focused on many other things. It's called TALENT, and I have it and they don't! President DONALD J TRUMP."
It's a car with a Fermanagh registration in Puerto Santander.
Jeremy Corbyn, Keir Starmer's predecessor as Labour Leader, wearing a suit with a red tie.
Episode title: "Complimenting A World Class Squad."
"Romanticizing my hangover bc I’m a young ho and that means I had a fun night,” one woman captioned a clip where she dances while brushing her teeth, clad in an oversize hoodie and sweatpants. “Like that’s lowkey a beautiful thing.”
Jorge Jesus, a 71-year-old man with the haircut of a Bee Gee.
Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway, watching Norway-Brazil. They are wearing Norway scarves, and Norway flags are visible behind them. I think they're supporting Norway.
Donald Trump signing the Iran MoU at dinner at the Palace of Versailles. Macron is beside him.
The saddest President, all by himself while the chill kids laugh at something Zelenskyy or Macron said.
VAR official seemingly making the White Power symbol.
The Tobias/Portia open relationship meme from Arrested Development, except this time it's about sending in The Troops.
Driving off in his van, St George’s flags flying, he continued: “Am I going to get arrested? We’ve got English flags on here, Rachel. Are we going to be arrested? You’re ruining the country. Get Keir Starmer out. Look, England flags. Yous are useless. Labour party is useless.”
"He's one of us: fans prepare for Robinson's Anfield farewell." Except it's Andy ROBERTSON, not ROBINSON.
The Tobias/Portia meme from Arrested Development. "Sometimes members of a political party vote for a soulless automaton who they know doesn't share their values." "They think it'll make the party more electable and popular." "Well did it work for those people?" "No, it never does, I mean these people somehow delude themselves into thinking it might but...." ".... But it might work for us."
Tonia Antonazzi, not a famously fun person, inviting Hannah Spencer for a drink at work.
Shabana Mahmood, the home secretary, will be given the power under the National Security Act to designate proxy groups, such as those thought to be behind the recent attacks on the Jewish community, as a foreign intelligence service.
EXCLUSIVE: Keir Starmer urges Brits 'choose progress over politics of anger' and details what Labour's delivered so far Keir Starmer said Labour’s rivals had proven they cannot meet the moment after Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage rushed to back Donald Trump’s war in the Middle East
My partner Gregor Gerlach and I were visiting Chicago in 1996 and were sitting on the terrace of a snack restaurant taking a bite from a fresh Bagel Sandwich. I immediately fell in love with this extraordinary piece of dough. We asked ourselves why there was nothing similar available in Germany
Ed Balls looking a little irate at the suggestion that he's not a perfectly impartial interlocutor.
Starmer says it "beggars belief" that he wasn't told about Mandelson vetting failure as he faces Commons
Someone called Gina Milan getting all het up about Pope Leo, saying: "I've been a Catholic for 35 years, and no one speaks for me. I stand with my brothers and sisters in Christ. I stand with President Trump. I stand with America. I do not stand with Pope Leo. He does not represent me, and he sure as hell does not represent the Catholic Church."
Peter Crouch getting splashed with mud while hitchhiking.
RIP to everyone killed by the gods for their hubrid but I'm different. and better. maybe even better than the gods.
The "that's illegal, people can't do that" meme.
It's the March edition of Which? magazine, to which my mother-in-law subscribes. The front cover story is: "HOW TO WIN AT BINS" which I believe to be germane to Steve's interests.
The angry goose meme, asking "Which parts of Ireland? Is it just Cavan?"
McSweeney had a “back and forth” with Doyle, the files say, over Mandelson’s relationship with Epstein. Doyle is named in the initial Mandelson files as having been “satisfied” with the former peer’s explanation of his relationship with Epstein, whom he stayed with after the businessman’s 2008 conviction for soliciting prostitution from a minor. Both McSweeney and Doyle have already left No 10.
I will use the momentum of the current political attention on this subject to get more; I always do and always will. It’s how I have been trained to operate over decades, like the scrappy kid at the dinner table of a large family that I am. But I am damned if I will let these pinch-point moments be the only time those calls are heard. The long-term strategy of the government must be exactly that – long term.
The tweet from a guy who claims he saw a bunch of Gen Alpha young women gushing over the movie Melania and Trump coming across as a “good husband” and “such a gentleman” so you already know it’s fake before the guy claims the women were saying “period sis” and “slay queen” like a chatbot imitating a drag queen from 2018.
Peter Mandelson wearing a Jeffrey Epstein -branded sweatshirt in New York in 2009.
Old people are far healthier than they used to be, but they should have their eyes – and ears – regularly tested for driving.
Some very good veins, belonging to a very good vein-y boy.
Richard Keys writes: "Sad to hear the news of Terry Yorath's passing. He was a warrior & won fans over wherever he played. He was great for us at Coventry & the reason I got Gabby a job at Sky. I had no idea who she was when we met but I know her dad. RIP Terry. Your daughter did you proud."
The direct train from Tottenham Hale to Stratford, which is weirdly not widely-known.
player one makes the first guess. “Just one question. Does the suspect wear glasses?” he asks. “Yes,” replies player two. “But he doesn’t have to pay for them.”
The 1965 BMW "Neue Klasse" 2000 CS. A very handsome car indeed.
My son, about eight years ago. He looks like Mark E Smith from The Fall.
Maurizio Pocchetino looking, well, unexpected, with luxurious brown hair and a tidy grey beard.
I speak not of the premise of the short, which I’ve seen criticised elsewhere – namely that a teenager would have the nous or ken to select the right record for his father, or even recognise what a vinyl record is at all. I can buy this: the only 15-year-old I know particularly well is my niece, Aoife, and she has bought more vinyl records this year (three) than every adult I’ve met in the past week combined (zero). (Aoife is your correspondent's oldest daughter, Dara fans.)
Barney getting thrown out of Moe's only to immediately reappear behind bin.
Spam email from the O2, because I logged into their free WiFi ONE TIME, offering me the opportunity to buy separate tickets to see Doja Cat and Professor Brian Cox, but "hilariously" phrased "Get presale tickets for Doja Cat and Professor Brian Cox" in such a way as to make it appear they're performing together.
Donald J Trump: "We want Venezuela to immediately accept all of the prisoners, and people from mental institutions, which includes the Worst in the World Insane Asylums, that Venezuelan "Leadership" has forced into the United States of America. Thousands of people have been badly hurt, and even killed, by these "Monsters." GET THEM THE HELL OUT OF OUR COUNTRY, RIGHT NOW, OR THE PRICE YOU PAY WILL BE INCALCULABLE!"
Ovenden: I have got something that will make you lol from last night. We were playing shag marry kill at PT. Honestly, I nearly wet myself from laughing. Labour staffer: What??? I love that game! Ovenden: REDACTED asking REDACTED who would use the strap on out of her and Diane Abbott was the highlight/lowlight. And then REDACTED's phyiscal [sic] demonstration of REDACTED putting it on was amazing. 'what are you doing? It's so big it has shoulder staps' Labour staffer: Hahaha that's amazing!!! What was the answer? Some awful mental pics are assembling in my head. Ovenden: We spent a lot of time discussing REDACTED going down on Diane. Hoenstly [sic] it was outrageous. Labour staffer: Oh my god.
Return match between Millwall and Charlton at The Den.
George W Bush on 9/11 meme, except it's a second Bang Bus, not a second plane.
Sign asking "Britain's most brutal race?"
"Unspecified Arizona High School Prom Queen."
Chris Philp: "The British taxpayer has put them up in hotels, and now they slap us in the face by using the money they are given to fund gambling. These illegal immigrants clearly don’t need the money they are given if they are squandering it at casinos and arcades."

“This matter has been formally discussed with John Torode by Banijay UK, and whilst we note that John says he does not recall the incident, Lewis Silkin have upheld the very serious complaint. Banijay UK and the BBC are agreed that we will not renew his contract on MasterChef.”
Today's sandwich is: chilli and lime chicken, tomato and homemade coleslaw on a caramelised* white sourdough. *"Caramelised" is a fancy term for "almost-but-not-quite burnt.")
