Let’s have a picture of a comma butterfly at Speke Hall to cheer things up during this unbelievably dismal football match.

Looking for an icon on the software at work when I stumble across TORNEDRON from Call Of The Primitives (this post for @tfwiki.net @chrismcfeely.bsky.social @sixotf.bsky.social @toygrind.bsky.social and probably not many more of my followers)

a selection of black and white supposedly monkey icons in a grid. In the middle is a strange Rorschach like round face image

The monster Tornedron from Call Of The Primitives. A sort of yellow tiger monkey orange striped disembodied face.

It’s going to be very annoying to go home and not be able to see this every day. Curse you, Scotland.

Lorraine just did a one-second portrait of me and it’s terrifyingly accurate.

It’s nice to be in a city but also able to go on a woodland walk on a day like today.

By virtue of being featured as the Plugs Theme on good ol' @cbbworld.bsky.social a few weeks ago, the attached is probably now my most widely heard composition, despite having released albums internationally! The Early Solo McCartney inspired "Heart Of The Plugbag" is here for you.

You mean this guy?

Anachronisms
In an early panning shot, we see an Arab passenger get out of a 1976 Cadillac Seville sedan outside the A&P Bank. These cars were never available as RHD, so a front-seat passenger, dressed as chauffeur, gets out and opens the O/S door. This is a farcical set-up, as he should have exited the front N/S (LH) door, and opened the rear N/S door for his passenger, avoiding the risk of following traffic-absurd!

We need to find Darren Barrow (who will be 46 now!) and ask him about this NERDS and the Sunderland Sweet Slicing Incident! (11th Jan 1990, Newcastle Journal)

Dear targeted ads, you have severely misjudged me if you think I want to carry around (a) an ebook reader and (b) more specifically, a tiny little stupid ebook that can show about three words a page. Please go away.
