Was just coming here to post about how much I hate Ref cam. Please not again.
It's funny to be watching half pipe skiing and Mark Selby playing snooker at the same time. Hugely different energies!
That was surprising. Never heard that from a royal correspondent before.
It tires me out just to watch! They had a segment before the race that showed the blond skier commentator trying it with a male athlete "in the wild" where they are going up rocks, not steps. With skins on the skis on the way up and they take them off on the way down to be more slidey.
The first vote I ever cast was for Jesse Jackson in 1988.
A quick reminder of what #BigFebruary is about…
Thanks to the magic of the cosmos, we start gaining daylight much faster in Feb than in Jan. Over 20 mins a week - setting us up for Spring.
This chart is by @neilrkaye.bsky.social and is one of my all time favourites.
Harry Hill has a new podcast on Youtube--the Harry Hill Show. Comes out Monday morning. All the craziness of his tv show but in essentially an empty room. Bizarre but works. Stewart Lee was his first guest. Also had Nish Kumar and CMAT. Also a serious educational guest and a Name That Seed.
I really don't enjoy doughnuts. If you describe what a doughnut is, it sounds like something I would love, but I don't. Always seem a bit heavy and sickly. And I really don't like sweet rolls/bear claws etc. [Cinnabons excluded]
I moved to England about 15 years ago and sometimes I quite like a scone [cheese scones better]. Crumpets were a huge disappointment to me though. I thought they' d be crumbly but they are spongy/chewy and always sort of taste of Bisquick.
Sharron Davies lives in a small town that can easily be walked end to end in 15 min. Restaurants, supermarket. Could use traffic control though!
[For Bruce songs written about specific occasions that were also great musically I'd give you 41 Shots/American Skin, Wrecking Ball, The entire The Rising album, and My City of Ruins, which was written before 9/11 but performed at the concert a few days later.] #StreetsOfMinneapolis
John Higgins is so amazing! The consistency over 30+ years and still winning...still in the final of the Masters! #snooker
I'm so sorry.
Oops there it is now! I see it.
Have you opened the comment section on the Guardian blog? I can't find it this evening.
Brutal. Lovely to see Selby to play like this but poor Judd.
a good way to describe it.
#snooker Robertson v Selby frame 7. I'm beginning to think it possible that no one ever pots the black.
How frustrating
Hurrah. I finished @nationalbooktokens.bsky.social #HiddenBooksGame #HiddenBooks.
Laura, thanks for all your help.
Finally finished. Thanks so much for your help.
I like that novel and never would have thought of it! Thanks. Now I can go to bed!
Please!!
Despite @dryadula.bsky.social helping me I cannot get the girl in the pjs on the #HiddenBooksGame. It's my last one.
Thanks. Got it but never heard of it. I think I like the sound of the Bear one I found [that wasn't right] better.
