I sincerely hope all the farmers honking their way around London today in their tractors, causing disturbance and disruption all go home with long lasting tinnitus.

Strictly are bleating on about how amazing Blackpool is. It’s a shit hole. It’s twinned with Hull as the armpits of England.

Had a weekend in Harrogate. Really enjoyed it. A little fix of Yorkshire

Nah mate

Agreed

Just move to Newcastle mate.

Now THAT is a good sleep!

This is a new level of British utter insanity…

Had a week in the Amalfi Coast. It sure is pretty but it is eye-wateringly expensive and can be a logistical challenge to get anywhere. Food surprisingly mediocre. Box ticked.

Phew! Thanks. I was sweating!

To an extent, you’re not wrong but I have to chip in here. Frills or refinement? I think they’re very different. We’d all be drinking from skulls and wooden cups and eating with our hands without refinement. The right plate for the right thing, the right cup or glass for the right drink, surely!?

I approve.
Your GP does not.
Who do you trust?

I’m sorry to hear this, Paul. I’m not sure if there’s any way I ca help but I love talking shite.

The one thing I can stand in a restaurant is being served a tepidly cold plate of food. It’s unforgivable.

Concur. Couldn’t give af

I paid Royal Mail £72.50 for mail redirection after moving. So far I've had 1 item redirected and 5 items delivered to the old address. What's the point? It is near to impossible to complain. Shambles. Service not fit for purpose.

Sorry. RIPTV.

Depends how it packed up. Ours blew up and I established that it was the power circuit board. Bought a new one and replaced it. It was surprisingly easy.

Treat yourself with wild abandon

Christ on a bike! iOS 26 is a visual mess isn’t it? If you don’t have to upgrade, DON’T. It’s like they got the iOS 5 team back together for one last hurrah. Awful? Make it stop, Apple! #apple #ios26 #iphone17

Grew up on cast Boddies. Well from 17yo anyway. £1.22 the first one is was. Would be nostalgic to try again.

NOTHING will prepare you for this 45-second story arc. From "I'm just doing this because I love the flag, it's totally grassroots, and I'm not part of anything political"... to who actually gave him the flags the night before.

Anyone who believes it is an innocent movement needs to see this.

Happy birthday!

Jon Dahl Tomasson says Isak is very professional. Could have fooled me. 6 year contract at Liverpool. How ironic.

Bought a small soundbar for the TV. Why-the-f*cking-hell did I not have one of these before now!? #sonos

I’m finding out that Gumtree -ers are the weirdest fuckers in history. You can’t give perfectly good stuff away.

“Is this still available?”
“Yes”
*NOTHING!*

Landfill it is! Such a shame.

I got two questions in a row on @onlyconnectquiz.bsky.social tonight. Very proud of myself.

Of late I’ve been totally fed up of the constant misery and dull, pig-thick arseholes on TV. So in recent evenings I’ve turned (or tuned) to the radio instead and I’m really enjoying it. BBC Radio 3 Unwind is especially lovely.
