If you want to know how the British print news industry ends (which is, de facto, amazingly still what supports most newspaper websites) it's the distribution channels getting banjaxed. When you lose "TG Jones" etc even people who want a paper can't get one. That'll be the real start of the ending.

Helloooo? I'm here. I asked a question. What am I? Chopped liver?

We have to make exceptions for @bobfry.bsky.social. He barely speaks English.

Still not SHITE rules. It's like posting a cricket score in a forum about snooker.

I thought were home! How many months are you having over there?

I imagine it's because you're very tired after your holiday. You need a rest.

It's too late to reform him. It's admirable but I don't think you should even try.

I'm handing this over to @sfawcs.bsky.social and @faradayinkernow.bsky.social to continue the interrogation.

Was it for personal use or to sell on given the money you can get on the black market for a used toilet seat?

Whatever it was, he's filled the bag.

This "brother" of yours is a very convenient alibi for what could quite easily be read as a confession.

Didn't need to. You left the window unlatched.

I feel like we're right in the sweet spot of your specialist knowledge.

That reminds me. Is there anything else you need from FrMo's before he gets back? Once the front door is shut I'm not climbing in through the back window to open it again.

They've got a locking mechanism I couldn't defeat. Plus the accumulation of dried piss made it hard to get any leverage with my screwdriver.

I have one of those really long extendable rods to chop tree branches but I'm not sure if it has a pickle attachment. I'd have to go into the shed to check but I'm not hopeful.

Am I alone in thinking that Iran is now biggest story with the least amount of proper coverage? Lots of mobile phone clips (many AI, even more from other events) but in terms of the big networks, it's mostly in-studio commentary. Feels like we can now see how the news media has been hollowed out.

If the pickled onions were beyond a hundred feet and I had a fork long enough, I'd probably need my outdoor glasses if I hoped to prong one.

Oh, the job's done. I also don't wear glasses for everything. Between about foot and a hundred feet, I don't need them.

That's a very charitable act. I'm overwhelmed.

They were too expensive on Amazon. It was one of these cheap Chinese sites but I don't know the details. I didn't buy it. I merely got to enjoy installing it.

No. I'm not made of money. Nor does it have seashells embedded in epoxy resin or goldfish floating in the heater soft cushion like you posh upper middle class folk. It's plastic. 100% plastic.

Oh, I'm here for some toilet seat banter.

I can't say it does. Bit disappointed in that respect but it was cheap. The old one came with the basin but was very low quality and with a really strange fitting. This is better and has the traditional pegs but still not as good as I'd have liked.

New toilet seat arrived after an epic journey that seems to have taken it via the Silk Road through about three war zones and countless nations. A lot more travelled than I am. I felt quite humbled fitting it.
