Ironside or Starsky & Hutch. Family Saturday night viewing in those days. Great entertainment, but the blunt descriptions of black people have probably killed off ever seeing those again, unless there are edited ones?

#christmas Is it really worth it for the retailers to make us suffer these food ads for 6 weeks when we already know that we will buy a bit more food from our preferred shop for about a week in mid December? My guess is only the ad agencies profit.

Is uk politics in a dull phase, apart from for those who make a living talking about it? Don't get me wrong, most of them do it very well, but it does look like a "they're all the same" dormant period until Reform either succeed, or don't. I'll check back at the end of May, may be clearer by then.

#cwc25 congratulations to India for a great win and the most elegant, calm and controlled run chase of this year especially #jemimahrodrigues #harmanpreetkaur

Jupiter low but bright in the east now.

Thanks David. I asked you a question then looked up the answer sorry! Solar panel fields are generally better on brown field sites, but not as a replacement to agricultural land.
Of course assuming that neutralizing carbon depletion is the goal isn't it?

Interesting. Not sure whether you are saying this is a bad or good thing? Neither are the scientists.

@heidialexander.bsky.social So sad to see another regional airline collapsing. I know it's not very "net zero" but tiny contribution compared to gap yearers "doing Bali" etc so why not a nationalised subsidised internal airline?

If #reformuk win Caerphilly I will be having a closer look at how welcome I will be in Portugal.

#BritishSteel UK 6th largest world economy is 35th in steel production.

#AFLW Low scoring seems to be down to kicking distances. Decent field kicks from the back but poor penetration into the 50. They need to get 15m inside to have a chance, so many fell short and tipped behind in that match.

#AFLW but Painter wasted it!

#aflw Sponsor choices are interesting, mineral exploitation or disgusting US fast food? Anyway, there's a quarter of footy left so perhaps another time...

#AFLW we need to get over the low scoring. It's a different game to the blokes but just as exciting. Ella Roberts best player of first half but don't rule out a Suns comeback.

#CincyOpen has an on site power outage. Perhaps MAGA are not drilling enough?

James I see your point but I think Nigel's lot only referred to London being worse than US, not UK generally. I am very happy to be corrected if wrong!

Testing bluesky for if anyone knows why #atp & #wta #cincinatti matches are suspended

Gotta love corvids! When I get asked the "what animal would you be? question" it's a jackdaw (perhaps a grackle if your in the "new" world).

I live in a Labour constituency but am now reluctant to strike up conversation in a pub because almost always becomes something like "Starmer is letting them all in & they get everything straight away etc" Rayner is right, we have left social cohesion behind.

The chances of that! You are so privileged!

is "unfootballificational" a word?

I am puzzled by why the player in second place in Open golf is hardly being shown on Sky coverage. Haotong Li. Is there a Chinese problem? #opengolf

If Sinner or Pogacar are in it, the only question is who comes second. It's like Sampras & Armstrong over again (except Pogacar is not alternatively fuelled of course!)

Inappropriate lashing out. Trumps S&M is up 11.65% today. Hope you got that. www.google.co.uk/search?q=tru...

You have got me thinking about normality bias, which we must all have now but how to alleviate it? Not being glib but, if we haven't got a 3 hour radio show, surely all we can do is street demos? My MP can't help - gov normality bias still treating US diplomatically, history says perhaps too long.

Andrew, I have given up trying to read your piece due to paywall intervention, but your top line comment seems unfair. Manchester & Leeds financial services centres, trans-Pennine rail, £1bn for North-East Wales & reopening of Sheffield/Doncaster Airport (i.e. a new northern runway) etc

& centre parting replacing the fringe reflecting the policy momentum, perhaps a right sweep next, Phil Oakey anyone?

Why this obsession with expanding #Heathrow with its unsuitable location on the edge of suburbia? As a non-Londoner it seems to me Gatwick has a strong case along with HS upgrade of the Gatwick Express line www.gatwickairport.com/company/futu...

You don't need to own a farm to shoot pheasants, but it does mitigate inheritance tax. Which looks more bad?: Clarkson told Times in 2021 that avoiding inheritance tax was “the critical thing”. Today he insisted the real reason was because he wanted to shoot but thought it would look bad.
