Bond villain has developed a device that will destroy the planet. The British government sends James Bond to offer him tax incentives to build the device on brownfield land in the East Midlands.

Some photos of Wotton-under-Edge Pride today. It was really nice and positive, and they got great weather for it. #Pride

@TheBreadmonkey If I were a ghost I’d probably not want to spend the afterlife watching my large adult son knocking one out.

@TheBreadmonkey Alternatively maybe ghosts are really chill about the whole wanking thing because they know that everyone secretly does it, even the late Queen. There was such a ghost queue out the door of Windsor Palace when the Queen bought a new Mills and Boon.

Batman’s son was a terrible disappointment.
