There’s free access to The Times Crossword Club today, in celebration of the 75th birthday of, erm, the Times crossword. I’m very much excited about this, and I’m sure you will be too… The one thing I miss from The Times is the crossword – The Guardian’s is okay, but it’s just not the same.

There is tremendous value in having a loser friend – someone far worse off than you, who is slightly in awe and worshipful of your life. You complain about this friend constantly and your other friends get annoyed and say, “I don’t get it. Why are you still friends with that person?”
So everybody has a loser friend, then? I thought it was just me. But there we go.

Dick & Dom in Da Evening (Guardian)
If Dick and Dom were even close to the ‘standard’ of Ant and Dec, then maybe this would work. But they’re not, so it won’t.

Simon Howard, Stockton-on-Tees
I’ve always said I should be on Newsnight (or, erm, not) – I’ve made it to the website, only a short step to the programme… 😉

The Death of Yesterday (Observer)
This is a fascinating read about a man who has an extremely short memory, and his relationship with his wife. Well worth a click.

This should be ridiculous, and completely unfunny. Particularly as it’s not really made of genuine homophones, the words sounding different to the originals. But for some reason I can’t quite put my finger on, it’s hilarious.
Is this the rear wife?
Is this just Pharisee?
Cortina landslide,
fire escape from reality.Opener ice,
loo cup to the skies and see…

I’m not sure what’s more disturbing: This advice from Handy Andy about how to use WD-40 as part of a love-making routine, or the page that pointed me to it, which not only revealed that people snort cocaine from pub toilet seats, but also that WD-40 is being used to combat this practice. It’s certainly versatile.

Famous pair face Big Brother boot (BBC News)
I thought Jackie was ineligible for nomination this week?
And another thing that annoys me about Big Brother: Why do they insist on saying “Please give the name of your first nomination?”. Why would anyone give their nominations names? Why, oh why, can’t they simply say “Please give the name of your first nominee?”
I want to go in the house just to say “My nomination is called Sebastian. I would like to nominate John”.
But maybe that’s just me.
