You loam your own tilth, pottymouth.

a woman with orange hair is wearing a white sweater Alt: The 'multi pass' scene from the movie The Fifth Element. Leelu, an orange haired woman played my Mila Jovovich, shows her ID multi pass card.

Movie you've watched more than six times with a gif.
Hard mode - no Stars (Wars or Trek), LOTR, Marvel, Disney animated or Pixar.

And the algorithm now has you down as a suicide risk. Helplines are open etc.

Yes. I thought you'd all have fun working it out.

Someone close to me used to say 'pussy-dom-nime' until enlightened. Never tease anyone for mispronouncing a word. It means they learned by reading.

Headline on a press release found today in my email spam: [redacted] Announces Revolutionary Mathematical Proof of God's Existence and a Theory of the Origins of the Universe, Life, and Chemicals

SPOILER ALERT: no, they didn't.

From today's spam folder. Redacted to deny any potential for publicity.

Boris Johnson entered a room. "Hello" he lied.

My parents bought a three-bed semi in North Shields in 1970, for £4000. Six beds in North Ken for the same money? No.

Matter to energy back to matter or something, idk. Why would this be different from regular transporting?

Scotty held himself in a recursive buffer loop for decades, thus managing to span the gap from TOS to TNG. Transporter buffer is canon.

The "don't have an extra kid if you can't afford it" brigade get awfully upset when you suggest they don't stay in their £2m house if they can't afford it, don't they?

You do come out with some shite Ed. Were you bungee jumping when you thought of this zinger?

AI used in eye study. Coming up next, AI used in A study.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

A pedant writes: the rail crossing is properly called the Forth Bridge. That's all, no qualification needed. Awesome structure.

There is no such thing as metrological winter. I will die on this hill.

I think this is the shadow of the mountain projected onto clouds, which lie between the mountain and the viewer.

"... plant in well-drained, moisture-retentive soil...".

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND GARDENING

A view of the interior of the Royal Concert Hall, Nottingham, from the uppermost tier of seats. The distant stage is set up with instruments and lit in a variety of colours. The structure of the concert hall is quite modern with many tiers and partitions in white, and a prominent white acoustic ceiling over the performance area.

Up in the gods, for Jools Holland and Imelda May

I can only imagine that soldier shouting about wombats and elderberries.

A small very rectangular three storey building made of typical London yellow bricks. The ground floor is given over to The Bespoke Shutter Company, with large windows and a prominent black and green sign. Inside the windows are samples of window shutters. The first floor window above is in good condition with double mullioned sash window, but the top floor shows distinct signs of neglect and decay with peeling paint on both masonry and woodwork, uneven and possible broken sashes, and Venetian blinds behind which are clearly broken.

Pity the Bespoke Shutter Company, with this upstairs neighbour. Pic by me, today, at the bottom of Muswell Hill, London.

But at least your call is important to them

Screenshot of a BBC article on travel disruption due to weather. Each mention of rainfall is given in mm and then inches, but the conversions are inaccurate. 50mm is not 2.9 inches as stated, but about two inches, and 60mm is not three inches but about 2 and a quarter.

It's nearly 50 years since the UK adopted metric measurements. Why do we still have to have these dual units, and could they not at least be accurate conversions? Basic innumeracy in this BBC weather article (and yes I'm postponing travel today, grumble grumble).

Like Starmer, she seems to lack conviction or courage. Baffled why they won't even address Brexit, which looks increasingly like an open goal. Always a bad idea, really bad for the economy, and now also very unpopular. Why won't they acknowledge this and announce plans to restore relations?

Starmer needs to be better.

Premium price for dodgy build quality though

But not, er, inspirational...
