Five years ago today… there were some epic sunrises in covid… or maybe it’s just that I happened to see them, being out on those endless walks?!

An image of a phone and text that says: We are testing Emergency Alerts on mobile phones across the UK on Sunday 7 September at 3pm. Find out more at gov.uk/alerts

The UK Emergency Alerts system will be tested on 7 Sept 2025 at 3pm. It shares warnings during emergencies like floods, wildfires and storms.

Domestic abuse survivors with concealed phones might need to turn off alerts. Here's how you can opt out ⤵️ www.gov.uk/alerts/optin...

Then you need to see Under Paris, in which a grieving yet attractive scientist saves Paris from an invasion of killer sharks. Pretty fab, to be fair

Jason, what have you done…?!

Good grief. I did a story about this more than 30 years ago (I know!) for the Sunday Express. Then, if you wanted data on someone, you applied for your credit report but gave their address and you’d be sent financial info on everyone connected to that address! Shocking then, seems little has changed

Good morning!

What a fantastic thread. Time to reprint that book?!

Ooh that is a brilliant idea!

Sorry to miss you!

Really getting into the masters #snooker final. Muttering about whether he can canon on to the pink or screw back for the black like I know what I’m talking about. And our two pasty-faced heroes #Murphy and #Wilson - so smart in black tie (sort of). Is snooker the new darts?

Thanks! Change of tone from all the Christmas lights…!

Not much stirring on the edge of town in #derbyshire #liminalspaces

Clearly Santa, who claims the claimant is elf-employed, and not an employee!

So which of these is you?!

Looking forward to Thursday’s webinar with @cathurquhart.bsky.social on dealing with difficult litigants. It’s for the London borough Legal Alliance.

Great thread, thanks!

Proper weather…

It’s 40 years tonight since the #Bhopal gas disaster in India, when a leak of poisonous gas from Union Carbide’s factory killed hundreds then and thousands since. Now a largely ignored tragedy, the effects linger in chronic illness and birth defects. Remember Bhopal this evening 🙏🕯️❤️

Hi @mazymixer.bsky.social I like your photos of Derbyshire (I grew up in Bakewell) so hope to see them on this site!

Where better to post a rare sighting of some blue sky…? #southbank #stpauls #barbican #london

Having just finished this, I agree it is not only ‘wildly entertaining’ but utterly gobsmacking. You don’t need to understand crypto to follow it. And what I didn’t realise (spoiler alert) is that all the money turned up again. Bring on the movie…

Love this...
