Weezer was indie rock for corporate America. Yuck.

Go hatless, let the rain soak into your hair!

There are many many small things you can do.

People ought to be doing this themselves as I'm not sure govt will be doing all they ought for us.

Green roofs, capture rainwater in a butt or several, build a bog garden, have a drive that soaks up water rather then repelling it into drains.

Plant a tree or two.

That face of one of her staffers…

professional football players in fast food outlets which have featured in cult films or tv shows.

Both sides could arm wrestle for the win?

Goalkeepers excluded.

If only his supporters could be convinced to take the majority of his claims at 16% somehow resembling statistically plausible.

It would still be too much, yet you have to start somewhere

Been ages since I was invited to a party. Enjoy yourself whilst you still can, George!

He doesn't pay for his seat!

He never blocked you for that, surely?

If it's love and affection you're after you ought to have a dog.

I'd love to be able to draw, paint, play an instrument and sing.

None of which ought to prevent a long, successful career in the arts, mind.

Stick it in a bay window with as much sun as you can.

I've since bought a £10 heated propagator, which has lasted over a decade, and some cheap grow lights. I don't 100% need either - and I have switched the grow lights on yet!

If you have an allotment they'll be swapsies a-plenty.

Even down by the river, where guys roasted fish on cheap BBQs, has been swept away. Concreted over, with graffiti daubed on walls and sculptured balustrades to keep you falling in the Golden Horn.

I lived in Hull, the same happened there. Old terraced shops swept away for dull Aldi's.

I visited Istanbul in '93. I liked it. Not far from, what I thought was pretty central, I walked up this dirt road up a hill. The place looked v rough. Unpaved paths of soil and concrete, unfinished homes. It was rough and ready. I felt I was really travelling.

I assume it's gone now. Tidied away.

Just this past week I've tried to learn 'hello' and 'goodbye' in Polish just so I can try to convince a Polish carer we're not all arseholes.

Hello is easy, goodbye can be 'pa' or you could go for the slightly more difficult one, which I did, and get it right yet forget it in 30 seconds.

I've decided upon tinned chicken masala for lunch.

I'd invite you but I'm not sharing.

One guy I know sends money to Farage and thinks he's a member. I point out he gets little for his membership, unlike it other political parties. He doesn't care. Indeed, he books another ticket to a rally.

I think he can see the grifting - he doesn't care "they're all the same".

I daily talk with Reform supporters. It's incredibly frustrating how immune they are to reason.

They forgive Farage for everything, even whilst wanting others to resign over trivial misdemeanours or for things someone's made up.

I'm sure I've seen trials of this type for many years. It appears there isn't the will, or money to enact them widely enough, as we should be seeing them everywhere.

I erected my own, small, green roof around 2009.

“Planting suitable wetland species alongside rivers and roof tops helps delay surface water runoff by up to 90%…In the Netherlands, there are hundreds of green roofs on bus stops…Each square metre green of roof cover absorbs 20 litres of water, reducing how much water enters the drains.”

They've been saying they're leaving for how long now?

If I was Michael Carrick I'd pick nothing but players from the UK for the next game, watch them get thrashed, then tell Ratcliffe to shove the manager's job up his arse.

How far under ground did you go to picture that?

Last week students from the #UniversityofWorcester and #HeartofWorcestershireCollege rolled up their sleeves and helped to plant a new woodland with our #WilderWorcestershire team at #ChapterMeadows. 🌳

YouTube video by LBC ‘Who will he blame for this?': Five Reform news stories uncovered | LBC

A shamefully valid exercise.

Henry Riley takes @mrjamesob.bsky.social through five poorly covered stories concerning Nigel Farage's Reform which the media would already have highlighted if it applied the same level of scrutiny to Farage’s party as it does to Labour.

Crumbs! I hope Brighton don't go down to 10 men!

Was it from Noah? His boat must've been a state with all those animals crapping everywhere.

I've often thought I have the stuff of heroes within me!

Not sure I want to put it to the test though...
