I had not. And that is not what synaesthesia means. (I'm rarely on here, by the way!)

Oh dear 😆

After a brief memorial, laz lit the cigarette at 11:37. The 2025 Barkley Marathons has begun. #BM100

After multiple failed attempts, the conch was blown at 10:37. The 2025 Barkley Marathons begins in one hour. #BM100.

I want those wheel lights!

You can add me, please?

Occasionally I consider looking for another job, and then realise my skillset is so niche I'm probably in the only place that would employ me.

I'd believe they were trying if they were honest about what the real problems are (money hoarding billionaires) rather than planning on doing deportations live on camera with the home secretary there cheering them on.

This is a good response from the European Commission. TL;DR: we're not dignifying every brainfart with a response unless there's some solid detail, but broadly, this is fucking insane.

I don't *think* I'm grey and white and super fluffy, but I'm so face blind I can't recognise myself in photos, so.... Maybe?

That's what I've realised. He's not trying to run the country and make it a better place to live, he's trying to win at being in power.

Awww. Poor squoof. I was always amazed that we'd managed to rescue a floof who turned out to have digestive problems and anxiety issues. I'd thought the "owners and pets resemble one another" thing was a myth.

The Assembly (Director's) Cut is my favourite Alien film. Frood got me the quadrilogy for my birthday one time. Didn't you watch it with us?

The only Alien3 anyone should be allowed to watch is the Assembly Cut: a hill I will die on.

It probably shouldn't be weird to realise how many past decisions were influenced by one of me being a surfeit of skunks.

Brings a certain stinging accuracy to the quote, "IT'S SO FLUFFY I'M GONNA DIE!"

I have sufficient self-control not to boop the floofy werewolf. Maybe.

But once they'd fully changed they had enormous fluffy ears! They were all floof!

JFC, what does someone need to do just to have their licence taken off them?

Also Wolf (Jack Nicholson, James Spader, Michelle Pfeiffer). Not sure if Wolven counts as a werewolf movie, but it's certainly good.

I found the werewolves slightly too adorable for it to be a *good werewolf* movie, but I will concede that by genre standards it could be described as a *good* werewolf movie.

Hello! Did you know that "I found the movie boring" is not the same as "this is not a good movie"?

Entered for Ride the North again. Doing the long version, obviously. With a start at Glamis castle, it should be spectacular. Entries for first timers open on the 28th. www.ride-the-north.co.uk

Or American Werewolf In London, presumably.

Living in NE Scotland, there are times when I wish we had weather that hung around a bit. You know, made it worthwhile putting the spiked tyres on. If I put them on today, they'd have to come off tomorrow.

George Orwell's 1940 Review of Mein Kampf

Orwell's 1940 review of Mein Kampf is a chilling read: bookmarks.reviews/george-orwel...

Do you ever look a some - many - European cities and think we've been conditioned in the U.K to expect that incredibly grey, car-dominated, and polluted cities and towns are as good as it gets? Because I do.

Hard to believe there are people fighting to keep things the same.
