Had a slight frisson earlier today when, for a second, I thought Phil Jarvis had bought a hat, grown a moustache, gone into politics and died.

Ha nice. I was shown a similar one recently but can't remember the name of the film/actor.

Also just noticed Brett Anderson/Paul Anderson - even the name checks out.

I can't be the only one who has watched the Dahmer miniseries and thought Jeffrey Dahmer's dad looks like Richard Whiteley.

Also DAHMER is an anagram of HARMED. This was literally the first thought I had when it came up on my feed the first time.

Is Cillian Murphy the guy who lost to Ronan in the final? Cos he's changed a lot if so.

Yeah, it was a bit shameful I suppose but Biden slipped me twenty bucks to get rid of that fat guy who loves Putin. Turns out he meant Kim Jong Un, but I reckon I can be forgiven for the mistake.
