Oh I loved him a lot, was lucky enough to see him live a couple of times. Such a great idiosyncratic songwriter. And such a tragic end.

All of yours! Plus these. And many more.

I don’t get it, why isn’t there a single cry laugh emoji on this?

My mum’s brother died this morning and she’s just found out he was a lifelong Dylan fan. As was she. She’s been seeing Dylan alone all these years as she’s never had a Dylan buddy to go with. Families eh. Death eh.

It could be worse. You could be in Birmingham.

Anyone checked out the Wikipedia entry for Supergran lately?

Poor He-Man. He’s 40 years old but couldn’t last 4 months with my 2 year old.

Blending in at the hairdressers by drinking the weak, instant, sweetened coffee they’ve brought me without making a fuss. They’ll NEVER KNOW I’m a middle class softie.

TIL that Byker Grove was Bobby Shaftoe’s house (sort of)

Thank you for boosting x

A Few Words about… Skyn & Finkso Do you remember Skyn and Finkso? No, neither does anybody else and neither, apparently, does the internet. They were these two guys. They were supposed to be dead I think. Zombies? Ghosts? Spooky f…

Amazingly* not the first time I’ve encountered this and received exactly the same slur. (Not at all amazingly)

Men can now park their enormous cars right across the pavement blocking access to wheelchairs and pushchairs and never have to pause for a moment to consider whether they might be in the wrong because they have been given the gift of “Karen”. So well done everyone.

I think this is a beautiful painting and I believe the inspiration for ‘Warriors Gate’

Not sure anything has ever floored me quite as much as finding out this is what Gill from Byker Grove is doing (and sounds like) now youtu.be/Cj9M4Rr1Ca0

If you’ve been looking for someone to just yell at you from the time you get home from work on Friday to the time you return to work on Monday, like if that’s your thing, then may I recommend a two year old.

On the plus side the boy can now recognise John Shuttleworth. (“Shuttle!”) However I gave him my old Luke Skywalker figure yesterday and he refuses to accept that that is his name, preferring instead to call him “black man”. Awkward.

The rise of the pro-assassination “left” from Charlie Hebdo to Charlie Kirk. A neat chapter in our civilisational collapse story.

Came to this site for the pop culture nonsense, staying for the pop culture nonsense. On literally everything else, the “good people” have lost their effing minds.

I know it’s old fashioned, I know I’m massively behind the times, but I’m just not a big fan of people being murdered.

The NHS 111 emergency prescription service is brilliant. I shouldn’t be so surprised and delighted to find something that actually still works in this country and yet I am.

Le Salon de Thé de La Mosquée de Paris Déguster un thé à la menthe généreusement agrémenté de menthe fraîche et quelques pâtisseries orientales telles que la baklawa, corne de gazelle ou makrout…

So admittedly it’s been a LONG time. But the tea garden at the mosque is one of my favourite memories of Paris. Looks like it’s still going. Very bold sparrows that will eat baklava crumbs from your hands. www.la-mosquee.com/le-salon-de-...

Also, Mark Gatiss is claiming to be working class? That’s the funniest thing I’ve heard all year.

Is there an option to block a person and everyone who follows that person because I’m blocked too and I can’t think of a single reason why. I’m nobody, and I’m especially nobody on Bluesky.

You can find much simpler versions but this one is the boss.

Nigella Courgette Cake | Baking Recipes Recipe by Flora Woods of London's "Books for Cooks", it was published by Nigella Lawson and aptly named Flora's Famous Courgette Cake. Here is a recipe where courgette takes an unlikely (but oh soo go...

Courgette cake is excellent, I went through a bit of a craze for it when my mum had a glut a few years ago. (The courgettes provide the bulk and the moisture but no flavour obvs. You have to provide that yourself.) Hold on let me see if my fave recipe is still around…

Butter and lettuce is the most British taste combination. I wonder if there’s any place in the world that combines those two with anywhere near the frequency or enthusiasm that we do.

My A-Level results were ACDC and my life is sort of a moderate failure so MAKE OF THAT WHAT YOU WILL, teenagers who are definitely reading this.

28 years for me too and ditto. This morning I taught my toddler about orange pith and he is pronouncing it “orange piss” so I’m going with that as my expletive of the month.
