The difference between what street gets what Galloway letter - the one entirely about Gaza, or the one going on about grooming gangs, opening a Primark, and "knowing what a woman is" is quite hilarious. What a shameless cunt he is.

I've not seen my mum since Christmas 2019. She lives 180 miles away, she's 86, and there's a pandemic on that hospitalises people her age. It's penciled in for July (not June, at her choosing - she's still nervous). Anyone who has a problem with that can get fucked.

Hi. When posting photos like this would you consider cropping out the wife/child? The child has nothing to do with it, and it’s possible the partner does not either. I think the man who sent the tweet should be the only person identified. Thanks for reading.
Silver lining re Terrance Dicks passing: he had no illusions about the immense fondness with which he was viewed. He got told all the time that his Doctor Who novelisations got kids into reading - I did it once! He knew. That's nice to know.
Okay, this is mad:
@martin_j_wilson
has pointed out that in addition to the original photo, there are also The-Charlatans-standing-about-in-oilseed-rape photo sessions from 1995 and 2009! What's the obsession with trampling crops,

Sorry Tom, I’m the eccentric Earl of the manor who just pranged his vintage automobile into a large tree and knocked it over, blocking the one road out of the valley. Don’t think you’ll be making that important work meeting.
Very said to hear that the criminally under-rated Doctor Who writer David Fisher has died. "The Androids Of Tara" and "The Creature From The Pit" are stone-cold classics (you heard me) and "The Stones Of Blood" is great too.

Stocky street corner-loitering tabby, up for rolls and strokes. Belly access not a scratch trap. Slightly distracted by eating grass/listening to birds, but still a solid 8/10 overall.
To the neighbour who has taken to smoking strong weed in his garage during the evening. I am not sorry in the slightest at grassing you up to the rozzers. It stinks out the entire street.
The craze has spread down under too. Courtney Barnett probably doesn't even know why she's standing about in oilseed rape, but just feels mysteriously compelled to. (thanks

Partial sighting of Radiohead standing about in a field of oilseed rape. Bonus points for roping in Adam Buxton - and maybe Thom Yorke has hay fever or something - but try harder lads. (thanks

Twenty years ago today, I started work on SFX. 7305 days and 273 issues later I am, somehow, still here. Not entirely sure if congratulations or commiserations are in order, but I'll take either.

Defender of the six-foot wall, in their usual evening position, scanning the horizon for any threats. 0/10 for pets, 10/10 for commitment to sentry duties.
I've just been made aware of the pioneering work by
@Gargarin
into this field of (oilseed rape) research, back in 2017. Hat doffed.
We've unearthed lots more though, so my thread is still the best and I'm still the cleverest.
Only working for
@SFXmagazine
could I have written this: the definitive deep-dive six-page feature on Mr Benn! Issue is in shops on Wednesday 24th, or you can pre-order a copy online now and, as if by magic, it'll appear through your letterbox: ?
Hats off to Larkins - it's good to see that the modern generation of indie bands are maintaining the noble tradition of standing about in oilseed rape. (thanks

I might as well just tell you now, just to save time, that in about two weeks' time you will pick a framed photograph off the mantelpiece in the manor house and realise that you are the spitting image of my dead son.
