It seems it could have been a lot worse. The actual underlying numbers (grateful to Peter Kellner here) suggest the air is already going out of the #ReformUK balloon, they seem significantly down on last year's results in terms of proportion of seats won. Only two (so far) councils have been won by them - people are seeing their record in power and starting to turn against them. As it was with the BNP before, so it is with #Reform.

1. The tshirt cannon task is one of the best tasks in all 21 seasons so far.
2. The final task was hands-down the best stage task ever.
3. If you're going to fuck with one contestant, Dommett is the guy to fuck with.
4. A great lineup who seem to have bonded.
5. He's so famous!
Tonight, with the exception of the place that doesn't have an alcohol license, I have completed my personal project to sample every South Asian restaurant in town.
I have not had a single bad meal.
I am currently drinking a very good cocktail.
I have a good life.
Listening to a podcast.
Aaron Burr shooting a guy (duel with Alexander Hamilton) is mentioned.
I immediately stop it and watch Stirred.
Much of my internal monologue is in the voice of "Well, since you ask me..." Finnemore.
If you're a dispensing pharmacist, don't close for lunch. That's when most people are able to get to you to pick up their prescriptions.

No #LocalElections where I am this week but if you do have one, the top priority is to stop #ReformUK so vote for the other candidate most likely to win if you're somewhere where #Farage's hard right scum have a chance.
Second priority is to get/keep the #Tories out so same process applies.
I don't regret it.
Today's post-church pint is Stella Unfiltered from the home bar as I dashed home to mow the lawn before the rain supposedly arrives. #ChurchTimes crossword ready to go. #beer #lager

Never forgotten.
One of my great sources of anxiety is that I never know what I'm supposed to be doing with my tongue.
When my dentist is at work.
Why, what were you thinking?
A certain crisp brand has an advertising campaign featuring several retired footballers (and Messi because he works for Beckham) as well as Steve Carrel for some reason.
In it, they have run out of crisps and Beckham, because he now lives in Miami, where the ad is set, knows where to get some.
They go to the supermarket but, despite having more money than the people there could see in their lifetimes, they get them to share their crisps rather than just buying some.

Oh good. The grandparent company is upgrading my work laptop to #Tahoe. I can hardly contain my excitement.
Does a "hybrid" Navy work from home two days a week?
I am in general boycotting Trump's #WorldCup. I might get up for the #PrideMatch though.
Sometimes I do pub quizzes solo and when I do, I use the "team" name One Man, No Drum Machine, No Trumpet.
Is that way too niche?
Just play it cool, Trig, nice and cool you know what I mean?
