Top of the league at Christmas!

Let's stay there until it matters in May.

That's Blighia sapida,aka the ackee.

@tobyjepsonofficial.bsky.social hi Tobe, and welcome. It's civilised here, at least for now. I think you'll enjoy the experience. x

Ten house points for anyone who can define a woke sandwich filling.

And... GO!

I follow you and I'm sorry to hear of your circumstances. I think we all know and appreciate what you're doing here. Anyone who gives you shit must be bringing attitude from the other place... it isn't welcome here. Keep up the good work and don't be disheartened by a few impatient voices.

Do you think we just might, one day, begin measuring the strength of the economy not by how many new billionaires we have helped to create but instead by how few children in poverty we are ashamed to maintain.

People of Bluesky! Quote a favourite film using gifs only.

I would, certainly.

Man pilloried by the right for accepting football club freebie, now pilloried by the right for NOT accepting golf club freebie. Hypocritical, much?

I love it. It's a wonderful television series. I though the books were not too shoddy as well.

Starmer warned not to take Trump bullying ‘on the chin’ as adviser issues threat A top trade adviser for Donald Trump has demanded that the UK ditches the ‘socialist’ EU in favour of US ‘freedom’ and a trade deal or suffer the consequences with tariffs

In French, the international language of diplomacy, I would tell Trump to "Allez-y, et faites-vous bouillir la tête"*

*Go boil your head.

I've never managed to get into it, despite two aborted attempts at watching Ep.1. I find myself reaching for my phone within 15 minutes, which is a sure sign that I'm not fully engaged.

Must try harder...

All of us are like we are driving a new car and trying to work out how to work the radio, aircon, lights and wipers. #newskies.

Kiwi Pruning: How Do You Trim A Kiwi Plant Kiwi is a vigorous vine that quickly grows out of control if not grown on a solid supporting structure and pruned regularly. Knowing how to cut a kiwi vine is an essential part of growing kiwi fruit. ...

This. We had a kiwi vine in one of the greenhouses at work some years ago. Hope you find it useful.

There are also those here from outside the USA. I'm based in the UK, for example, and I'll be willing to do anything to help but I'm VERY new to BlueSky, nor did I use X/Twitter that much, so I'll need my hand holding until I know what I'm doing.

🌱 My small courtyard garden at home. I work at a further education college, in horticulture, within a large victorian walled garden (and attached stately home).

Skeets, because the alternative would be 'bleats'.

I'm not sure that'd fly...

Wait. Huckerbee to be Ambassador to Israel?

This is prime time madness.

Pete Hegseth was removed from Biden's inauguration, labeled 'extremist' Pete Hegseth has a Jerusalem Cross tattoo on his chest, a symbol closely associated with the Crusades.

Biden's security detail believed it to be a white supremacy symbol.

Yup. It is.

He also had one on his inner bicep, next to the flag, which is the Latin for 'God Wills It' (Deus Vult), the battlecry of the First Crusade.

He's a very damaged individual.

Sorry, but that was Firmino-esque and I shall not countenance a contrary opinion. 😀

Andrew Bailey, governor of the Bank of England, is clear tonight that Brexit has hit trade and
Britain must rebuild ties with Europe to grow the economy. Is this is finally the start of a grown up conversation about rejoining the single market?

What's your most mundane celebrity encounter?

I once asked Keke Rosberg, 1982 Formula 1 World Champion, for his autograph. He was eating his lunch at the time so he told me to eff off. I did. End of story.

Here you go my mate 👍🏽

Maybe 'bleats', depending on context.
