Retiring British who first was a heavy interweb user when Yahoo! was the way to go. Ex IT specialist with a focus on the 'nixes. As for the name, think Gulliver and his voyages.
Google scraped headline about Green Party with a picture of the wrong person by it. Zack Polanski and Alex Horne may both have front teeth gaps but only one of them is leader of the Green Party and is having to have donated funds returned. Oops, bad picture choice by the AI?
Three children and a Standard Poodle across the back seat, not a seatbelt in sight. Turned out the vehicle was a cut-n-shut somewhere around the B pillar but ran for several years before being replaced by a Datsun.
I realised today when caught in a traffic jam. Current car manufacturers colo(u)r palette means every traffic jam of any size is 'fifty shades of Grey'.
Not sure what these are called but one of the Christmas pasta shapes is questionable...

Not in Europe, there Magnums do come just chocolate covered ice cream on a stick.
Interesting extract from Cory Doctorow's book 'Enshittification: Why Everything Suddenly Got Worse And What To Do About It' to be published by Verso on 14th October. UK publication date. Can't link the article as is apparently not online yet but it explains Amazon's current crap fest nature.
Really, this is a fairly useless message from BlueSky because it misses the who and the how from the action. #blueskyerror #feedserver
Just to put it in perspective, this is the holding pens of a facility where up to 70,000 gentle beautiful cows get slaughtered a day. No I am not saying keeping whales in captivity is good (it is not), just in general humans are known to treat every other occupant of planet earth pretty badly.
Clearly worrying about the COVID inquiry hasn't done Matt Hancock's hair any good...

We moved into a new house and this was in the garden! Looks a little battered after the heavy rain last week.
Some relief from the s**tstorm of life, when a houseboat isn't big enough... seen on the Sharpness Canal
Peonies Lighten the day with a couple of pictures of 'Bowl of Beauty' peony that has decided to burst into flower.
