Just eaten this at Bash Café off Sandy Row. Best falafel in Belfast (which is admittedly a bit faint praise). I'd forgotten how good it can be. So, so fresh. I've got tears in my eyes. Beautiful. Beeeeaaauuuuutiful.
People talk endlessly about the cost of pints but I think it's the first five quid box of cereal that's the real landmark for me, feeling quite shaken by it.
Barış Yılmaz is undoubtedly the player I've most enjoyed in the Euros. Driving forward, battling, cyberpunk haircut. You'd love to watch him from the sidelines.
Wow, genuinely chilling. French TV show Affronter Votre Pire Cauchemar ('Face Your Worst Nightmare') confronts farmer François Lavigne with 36 singing children dressed as the brother he accidentally killed in a drink-driving accident 10 years prior.
"You'll find this funny, children!" says Sir Keir, before embarking on an anecdote about his parents coming to watch him be knighted so boring the children look like their souls are being sucked out of their bodies 😭
Lmao the "incident" was two cars - one of them a fucking hearse! - driven round the pitch by armed men throwing leaflets out the windows claiming someone at the football club is a paedophile
Mark Lawrenson was sacked by the BBC because he was a 65 year old white man... who travelled the world to commentate on the greatest fixtures in sport but did it in the style of a performance art piece about a miserable depressive hermit utterly consumed by a hated of football.
Generally speaking I think youtube replacing regulated kids TV is bad, but occasionally you see your 3 year old watching something so bizarre you can't help wondering if the generational unintended consequences in a few decades might actually turn out as a net positive.

My cousin works for Nike Football and confirmed to me that they decided to combine LGBT stuff and a declaration of support for Hamas, which the Football Association were fully onboard with.
Thirty years being the most boring football pundit in history and as soon as he gives it up he's dropping the "Mossad killed my Sunday roast mate Robert Maxwell" anecdotes?!?
Just seen Braverman say on Panorama that some universities may have to close and that she thought that wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. What about the staff, what about the local communities, What about the landlords of student accommodation, the pubs the students go to?
Like him, hate him, or tolerate him, to not even mention the recent leader of a major political party whose name was euphorically chanted at gigs and in town centres on Friday nights is absolutely hilarious, head in the sand, rewriting history stuff.
Sean Lock had that thing - not a skill as such, just an air of normality - where he didn't seem like a Left Wing Comedian even though he was a left wing comedian. Not like a lot of those other wankers who seem to expect a medal for being slightly left of mainstream liberalism.
Worth remembering that Lee Anderson was presented as the kind of sensible Labour moderate driven out of the party by the madcap leadership of the hated Jeremy Corbyn.
One of my most firmly held beliefs is that football would be slipping into rugby union territory in terms of numbers, demographics and age range of support if it hadn't been for illegal streaming over the last 15 or so years.
I hear Black Lives Matter has been hijacked by extremists who want something more systemic and long-lasting than a couple of temporary billboards, limited edition Premier League shirt printing and a range of Happy Meal toys. Unbelievable!

Labour will bring respect back to Britain:
✅ 13,000 more neighbourhood police and PCSOs
✅ New Respect Orders to put restrictions on persistent offenders
✅ Zero-Tolerance Zones in hotpot areas
We will stamp out antisocial behaviour on our streets.

@caitlinmoran
spent most of yesterday afternoon loudly breaking the lock down rules in my neighbour's garden
I think what I find so funny about this image is it looks a bit like the poppy is being led out to be executed by firing squad following trial by court marshal
Keep thinking about people sneering at stuff like this, and all the anecdotes of Corbyn helping constituents with housing, and how we were in rental poverty in a freezing cold & dangerously damp house in Streatham yet felt there was no point even bothering contacting Chuka Umunna
There's two types of Labour supporter, the ones who hope some of the avoidable crap in their lives can be finally sorted out, and there's the ones who want the party to make them feel nice like an Innocent smoothie or gift voucher might.
Every time I hear about low UK productivity rates I think about my last office job where we were using computers that were 10-15 years old and spent 40% of the shift waiting for things to open or completed work to upload. For £30k investment they could have got rid of half of us.
Eric Idle falsely claiming his dad died in the war to win an argument with Aaron Bastani is the funniest thing he's done since his cameo in The Wedding Singer.
It's quite funny that some people are so thick they've mistaken one of the most famous bits of 20th century pop culture for a revered 79 year old rock star losing his mind and performing a huge concert in germany in an SS uniform whilst firing a gun at the audience.
That's weird. Overnight I developed a completely baseless overconfidence in the centre-ground electoral strategies of nominally left parties in anglophone countries in the 1990s being universally applicable across time/space. Yes, that's right, it's my 40th birthday!!! 🎂🎉🎁🎊💐
Wildest thing has been the number of tweets saying something along the lines of this guy used to be normal but then got radicalised by the Messi v Ronaldo GOAT debate. I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
I've seen more tweets about how great Irish twitter is than actual great Irish tweets. Some of them are just coasting along on reputation. Where's the hunger and desire to truly cause offence?
There was a big upsurge of performative anti-Toryness amongst comedians and celebs in the mid-to-late 90s when they were safe in the knowledge it was only Tony Blair and not some mad marxist bastard who might force them to let their BTL tenants own a cat.
England has finally improved its youth development and it's coincided with having largely home advantage in an international tournament, things have lined up nicely. As long as there isn't a bizarre racist moral panic about black men being communists everything should be fine.
A guy who was in my a-level class once sent a text to everyone he knew proudly telling them to "GOOGLE MY NAME" because the Mirror printed a tiny piece about him refusing to pay a littering fine, unaware someone with the same name had broken into a mortuary a few days earlier.
It's 1995. We're doing a bleep test in a PE lesson, so me & a mate thought it would be funny to "accidentally" trip each other over on the very first length to get a score of 0.0. The teacher went ballistic, furiously screaming, accused us of "disrespecting the bleep test".
How can a man who is so far ahead in the polls sound so desperate and so small, like he's fighting a council ward by-election amidst revelations he ran over two local kids whilst high on drugs?
🏴🪓 Gareth Southgate has 𝐀𝐗𝐄𝐃 seven players from his initial 33-man England squad:

Merci aux francophones d'avoir contribué à mettre en lumière la tragédie télévisée de François Lavigne. Puis-je vous demander plus de faveur. Le club de football de ma ville natale
@StreathamRovers
connaît des difficultés financières et a désespérément besoin de votre soutien.
Baddiel referring to himself "playing minorities" like he was in an even-handed prestige drama rather than a number of 2 minute sketches that caused racist chanting around the country 💀
I'd actually be supremely impressed by the balls of someone turning up to a football ground for the first time dressed up as a beekeeper if they are indeed tourists
Channel 4 launched in late 1982, and the Happy Meal launched in the UK in 1986, so we can date The Old Days as lasting 3½ years. Fractionally over a third of a decade of parental beatings bliss! The Old Days ☺️
I know it's a bit pathetic to make it about myself but a man was visibly convulsing as medics tried to save his life and cameras were fucking zooming in and it was traumatising. Then someone cuts to what might well be a widowed partner and mother of his 3 year old & 6 month old.
There are some truly disturbing comments on here regarding our Queen. If you cannot be respectful then please keep your comments to yourself, and stay off Twitter.

With this high percentage name recognition, relatively low level of fear & association with governmental competency Coronavirus would be the ideal leader of the Labour Party.
Britons on Coronavirus:
97% have heard of
62% feel they have enough info about what to do if they think they have it
24% are scared of catching it
54% think govt is handling it well
64% are confident NHS can handle an outbreak
