The problem with dogs is that they can never tell if their owner’s a wanker.

1/2 Connections has sent down a rabbit hole this morning. The English horn (SPOILER: Neither English nor a horn) known over here as the cor anglais, is a larger, lower toned oboe, with a bend in it and a bulb shaped bottom end 🧵

Thought to resemble angels’ horns in medieval paintings it got the name Angelic Horn. The word for angelic in German - engellisches - also means English (Reminds me of the story of Pope Gregory and the Angles). Am now listening to Sibelius’s magical Swan of Tuonela featuring it

The Reformer's crossword alone will be worth the wait. 14 Down: Typical Reform candidate, anagram of "arctic nuts" (6, 4).
Do you trust the mainstream media to tell it like it is? We certainly don't. That's why our very own paper, the Reformer, will be hitting your doorstep soon. 🗞

So sad. Wait till you’re old! Hold on to your loved ones. Stay in touch with old friends. Life has a very simple plot. First you’re here and then not.
How long do you wait to delete a person you love who’s died from your phone? Asking for me.

Before I visited Corfu the first time I asked a friend what Greece was like - he told me everyone smoked, drove dangerously, looked older than they were and sang all the time. Then I realised he meant the John Travolta movie.

Utterly inexplicable Nando’s Halloween napkin. What on earth did they think it meant? Was it designed by a 5-year-old? I am baffled
