I see Boris is promising that if he becomes leader, old people won't have to die anymore.

Apparently people working in South Carolina grocery stores haven't heard of "summa cum laude"

You know those canonical lists of (usually) 3 great lies? Eg

1. We're from the Government, we are here to help.
2. The cheque is in the mail.
3. Just the tip.

Well, I've got a new one:

• Ripe and ready avocados

"Morrisey: the only vegan gammon"

I had briefly turned 3rd party cookies back on, and was shocked to see this ad: The only site I was logged into was this one, and there aren't any tracking cookies on here: how did they work out my name???** I clicked the link and found out, there's an office gadget called Joan!

I briefly wondered at the name, but then remembered ** The most closely targeted ad I had seen before this was "there are single women in Uxbridge right now looking for you" (I don't live in Uxbridge).

I tried to type Romani with my phone (Android/SwiftKey). It autocorrected me to hell and back, so finally I typed Romania and hit the backspace key.

A little later I typed "Romi", and it offered as the first two suggestions "Romulans" and "Romulus". Bloody nerds

(In case you are hoping, like I did, that Romulus refers to the mythical founder of Rome, it does not. Remus was not in the dictionary.)

Learning from John McCririck's obituary that he was once turned down for a job in the Diplomatic Service.

He was clearly unsuitable for diplomatic service.

But if he was still with us, he'd be a shoo in for foreign secretary under Boris - or Jeremy

Apparently Boots now realises that babies are a sexually transmitted infection. Meanwhile, Tesco seems to be fighting cancer, heart disease and diabetes by giving away doughnuts!
