Neepsend: "We love what you've done with the place"

Pick a Bond from photos you already have in your phone

Wow, Mandelson's going to end the careers of a decent Prime Minister AND Keir Starmer.

2026 book 2: This fourth Philip Marlowe novel combines the plots of three previous Chandler short stories, making a quite convoluted plot. I found it hard to follow at times, mainly because I read it in fits and starts, but it's totally possible to just enjoy the language and go along for the ride.

First book of the new year. Loved these stories. Nothing happens yet everything happens. Will this be the year I finally have a crack at Ulysses? Probably not.

Being mugged off by my emails today

But it won't fit in the toaster

BBC will no longer broadcast "high risk" performances

What an opportunity this could have been for UK Universities to market themselves as the safe and welcoming high quality academic environment for international students. Instead we have Starmer and Cooper's 'we must clamp down in these freeloading criminals' schtick.

I suppose that's one way of doing it. #FAcup

My new earworm just dropped

1995, Glastonbury. Justine introduces Elastica's song Waking Up with the joke, "Right, the next one we're gonna do is a famous Stranglers tune called No More Heroes". Now whenever it's played on 6Music:

Same energy:

Happy All Queens Day. To celebrate, all 6music shows from 8am until 11pm will be presented by dudes.

Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, eggceptance

Man of the people Farage surrounded by his multiple boxes of specialist tissues.

*Record scratch* Yep, that’s me. I bet you’re wondering why I'm next to the guy who's now remembered for suffering the biggest general election defeat in British history. Then having explosive diarrhea as he delivered his resignation speech. And slipping over in it as he walked back to number 10.

The calf's saying, 'Can you smell bullshit?'

He's just about holding it together.

Guessing that charities are going to need to post a transphobic slur to claim Gift Aid now or something.

Not gonna lie, being mugged off by a pack of bran flakes isn't the best start to the year.

Jesus famously lived a long life and died peacefully as a beloved national treasure, surrounded by family and friends.

Enjoying this compilation of Cornish psych and punk bands, but mainly just really digging the hama bead work on the album art - check out how pretty this is! krautpop.bandcamp.com/album/kernow... #MusicSky

"So I told Don Jr to hold up the fries.... he actually did it the absolute madman hahahahahahaha!"

I refuse to join Bluesky - I don't want to become part of a Dzeko chamber

Got this on my Facebook memories from five years ago. Amazing to think: 5 years on and we're still stuck with dial-up communism, having to wait until the phone's free to get onto the Marxist Usenet groups.

your last saved meme is your moral philosophy

One for my fellow fundraisers: a little insight into the Henry Smith Charity's likely new grant programmes now they're recruiting to three Programme Director positions for the programme areas: A Safer Future Parenting & Early Years Transitioning into Adulthood www.hsc-opportunities.org/how-to-apply

Don't worry - I'm going to be having a word with them myself.

What does the x2 option mean?
