Thursday's a good day

Asking Google "How many days of the week have the word fuck in them?" produces the reply "Only one day of the week contains the word "fuck": Thursfuckday (Thursday)."

Sunday!

Here's an example of tied beer prices posted on FB by the Town Wall Tavern in Coventry. I've seen several others.

Quite pleased with that.. britmonkey.com/2020s-politi...

Just had a #Snickers and it doesn't taste the same, chocolate tastes of nothing, just sort of sweet but bland. Is it just me or have they changed the recipe (UK)?

It seems our local 'patriots' seem to prefer people coming over here raping and pillaging to people fleeing the raping and pillaging. Anyway it's in the bin now..

Year before was a banger as well. I remember the Inspiral carpets having an amazing light show and, I think fireworks, they were good but The Pixies blew everyone's wigs off and only had a few coloured lights. "And this I know his teeth as white as snow.." 👌😁

A bit pricey at bookshop.org but I guess at least there's free delivery 😉

A Google search result that seems to suggest The Asset Class by Hettie O'Brian is priced at US$45,922,784.00

Americans have different ways of saying things. They say 'elevator', we say 'lift'... they say 'President', we say 'stupid psychopathic git.'

Here's the figures for 2024, China added more wind power in one year than the total for Germany...

Not my town, but spotted this on Google maps the other day..

To be fair I struck a similar pose on the sofa..

I see more and more mistakes in on-line articles from newspapers. Is this #AI slop or just laziness? This particular example from the Mirror, but it's all over the place..

Snippet of an article from the Mirror newspaper which says "it's a piece of mind" instead of "it's peace of mind".

This is fascinating! Memoirs of Major-General James Johnstone about his time in India. 1896. www.gutenberg.org/files/37839/...

Found this if it's any help. From here: www.seamig.org.uk/stleonards.htm

This doesn't look right?

Laughingjohn@laughing-john· Jun 21

I did, in 2019, and it's fine to disagree with me, but I'm not sure why all the venom. It's one thing to call out other parties for bad policy, but I thought the FB advert was childish and it's not the first. My hope was that the Greens would be better than others, but maybe I'm just being naive.

Laughingjohn@laughing-john· Jun 21

Do you think this Facebook advert is acceptable? I joined a few years ago hoping the Green party was better than this, but increasingly I see just another party of playground politics.

You won't fool the children of the revlonution..

None of this makes any sense.. He's only just started paying 40% tax after being bumped up to 6 figures, yet he paid 60K in tax, but after all that has decided to quit anyway. 🤷❓

At least someone doesn't care. 😁

Feels like Summer's here, one neighbour had the jet wash out first thing and another has just started angle grinding. Not sure what they're grinding but it's been going on for years 🙄😬

I see the trolls are starting to appear on Bluesky. Clown emoji is a classic indicator. Block, block, block!
