Stunned to discover, btw, having watched #BeatTheChasers on Sunday and thought, “Oh, it’s not the one we saw!”, that they just cut and paste episodes and we were in the last bit of that one.
We have found a very nice little bar near to our apartment. It does proper bière.
Probablement pas…
Now you all know how much of a KS fan I’ve always been, but STAND UP TO THE RACISTS, FFS!
Tried, only found repetitive strain injury!
I’m in Paris, where they have La Tour Eiffel Foodtruck…
Can’t work out what RSI means… is it the IRA?
This was a wee bit of a shocker today, on a stone bench near the Eiffel Tower.
Labour: “When Reform get into power in local councils they make things worse for local residents, threaten to hike council tax on low income families in Durham, increase parking charges in Lancs, & ban the local newspaper in Notts. They simply can’t be trusted." www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...
Kevin Maguire: "If you're put up in a hotel & you get meals you get £10/wk.. all these terrible myths.. free iPads.. myths & lies have gone mainstream & we've got to challenge them.. we've gone back to the worst aspects of the 1970s where racism is becoming mainstream" Well said
Elias Morgan gets a 45-year minimum sentence for murdering ex-prison officer Lenny Scott in a revenge attack. This happened in Skelmersdale, where I grew up. www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpo...
Good god! In Wasdale, FFS. www.newsandstar.co.uk/news/2543492...
We had one like that! Mr Seddon, he was called. Funnily enough his sister (Miss Seddon!) sounded v posh to our ears.

Yes, we did too.
Also, I never knew he was a Hungarian refugee.

This detail is amusing, though. After crystal meth and ketamine were found at his Eastbourne home, he claimed experimenting with drugs or allowing his home to be used for drug taking would "better enable him to relate and minister to people with difficulties as part of his pastoral care".
Er… Good Lord. news.sky.com/story/retire...
I turn on my TV and a TV presenter is asking a Govt minister why they are talking about rolling out free childcare when the big issue is asylum hotels. This is objectively insane.
Et, voilà! Nous sommes en France.
I'm proud of England too. Here's some hi res flag artwork for anybody who wants to hoist it.
I’m sure we must be the unluckiest train passengers ever. After yesterday’s no food débacle on Avanti, this Eurostar train has no power in the kitchen - so not hot food and no tea or coffee! *gets down on the wine instead*
How much do shares cost? I’ve never had a share in anything.
Just got through French border control. Les joys de Brexit.
Really?
Not bad. Wordle 1,535 3/6 ⬜⬜🟩🟩🟨 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
I really rather like this Premier Inn Hub in King’s Cross. Nice staff, a nice chilled bar area, people of many nationalities enjoying its chilledness.
Oh my god!
Yes!
We’re eating so late because we wanted to watch #BeatTheChasers to see if we were in it!
Of course, we missed it. 🙄
In a restaurant in King’s Cross. It’s TWENTY TO TEN, and we’ve just ordered. #CityLife.
My brother and my sister just saw me in the audience! #BeatTheChasers.
They have mixed up the episodes of #BeatTheChasers - I never knew they did that! Gavin the firefighter was in the episode we watched .
So far, I’ve only been likened to Ann Widdecombe, but I expect worse is to come.
Over on Twitter, Reece Dinsdale has decided to instigate a pile-on on me… for tweeting a supportive remark.
And a message from our driver confirming he will meet us tomorrow. I replied in French, then realised he will probably now expect me to be able to chat with him… 🤦♀️
Just received the key code for our Paris apartment. Exciting!
Welcome back to Blighty!
You can tell they were northerners - they made conversation in the lift.
Sunny and breezy here in London. Just bumped into a couple at our hotel who are going to Coldplay tonight. Slight trek from King’s Cross…
How very sad. news.sky.com/story/baby-w...
They probably think it’ll come back with rubbish versions of 🏴 daubed all over it. French voice fears over Bayeux Tapestry move to UK www.bbc.com/news/article...
How exciting!
Paris!
Yet another Reform councillor has been suspended for extreme racism. inews.co.uk/news/reform-...
Yes! And it’s Gay Paree!
Diana and Dodi Fayed, her boyfriend of just six weeks, as well as their driver, Henri Paul, died in a car crash on this day in 1997. I was working as a teacher at a summer school in Kent, and the burly ex cop who told me the news was crying so hard that I couldn't understand a word he was saying.
We got the early editions of the Sunday papers, being Up North, and I think it was The Sunday People that had a headline about Geri Halliwell pulling some stunt to keep Diana off the front pages. Well, it didn’t work.
I’m sitting on a railway station…
Just a little list (It’s massive) of what Labour have done since they came to power.
Bit late for me for now, but thank you! Will look at this.
This is scary. The doctors had never seen a case of measles before, and even called in medical students to have a look. But the disease is becoming more prevalent as people don’t vaccinate their kids. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Woke lefty bastard Durham Council taking down ARE flags!!!!
Splendid will do. Wordle 1,534 4/6 ⬜⬜🟨⬜🟨 ⬜🟩🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
No, it certainly is not.
Thank you!
Honestly, thinking we DO need a national ID card. With bits on it like “this person is disabled”. I’m looking at how difficult it will be in France to prove YES, I DO NEED TO SKIP THE QUEUE THANK YOU!
Or we might ask if the television, platforming people such as that retired teacher with the lifesize Farage cutout, and letting Rylan broadcast lies to this exact demographic, is to blame.
PS - said episode of #BeatTheChasers is (I think and hope!) on telly tomorrow night. ITV, 8pm. Look out for me in the audience!
Just booking a table at the same Greek restaurant we went to when we were in London for Beat The Chasers. Holiday starts tomorrow!
WTF? I thought this was the Mirror playing one of its usual “Oh, it’s in America” clickbait tricks, but it’s in Yorkshire. metro.co.uk/2025/08/29/f...
This really is excellent news for Cumbria - I hope some of these future young doctors will make their way down to this end of the county. businesscrack.co.uk/2025/08/29/i...
But… HOW? What does he do, apart from beat women, lie about it, and fraudulently claim public money?
Not only is he a woman beater, he’s a racist too. news.sky.com/story/invest...
So patriotic! Somehow there is nothing remotely surprising about this story.
I thought the fascists were supposed to make the trains run on time? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Of course the Queen was Remain. You don’t sustain a hereditary monarchy by randomly pulling pins out of grenades for the lols at the urging of a cluster of snake oil chancers.
The Sun in 2025 vs The Sun in 2016. Another Brexit lie busted. Of course the Sun’s new article makes no apology, or even mention, of their 2016 front page splash - which was ruled “misleading” by the press watchdog at the time - but what did The Sun care, when the lie served its purpose anyway.
It was a v tricky one.

Government should hang their heads in shame for... winning a legal argument?? Trying to paint the Lord Justice as a Labour supporter to discredit the ruling is seriously dangerous.
Am suddenly starting to feel giddy re Paris holiday.
Kirstie God-Knows-How-Many-Homes can sod off, basically.
We’re going to be staying near the Eiffel Tower.
Any advice for #disabled visitors to #Paris? Tips or tricks? Recommended visits?
He’s using 1970s China as an example. “OK, the people were poor. But…”
Someone in this pub earnestly extolling the virtues of benign dictatorships.
That’s good. But look at this - the mosque is in Birkenhead, but the awful graffiti sprayed on someone’s house was in Walton. I don’t know how people can be so vile. www.itv.com/news/granada...
OH has just dug out a translator machine thingy from before the days when we all had smartphones. It has currency conversion options for Francs and Deutschmarks to Euros! There’s never throwing anything out, and then there’s never throwing anything out OH-style.
A friend has been thinking about all the furore about refugees and “small boats” and has shared this poem. It’s called DIASPORA.
They weren’t there even a fortnight ago.
And Tommy Robinson is sharing the clip! Surely that tells you all you need to know?
Clumsy? He parrotted untruths about iPads and games rooms and “the NHS in reception,” and said refugees are having a “lovely time” while British people are suffering. It was shocking, and on ITV’s flagship morning show.
Briony May was really trying hard not to roll her eyes at him just then. #EscapeToTheCountry
Really do not want to ever again cheer on the Home Office in a judicial review case. It felt like supporting Birmingham City.
Good for them, but the hateful cowards attacking property under cover of darkness should eff off. Hope they’re caught and charged. www.itv.com/news/granada...
