Grumpy nerd. Works in IT, drinks beer, and is usually disappointed. I've taken a vow of science.

Do you know it's been weeks since I've posted this picture, that's very remiss of me.

I think I've reached the retrospective stage of maturity where I analyse all of the mistakes I've made in my life and can no longer blame them on the boogie.

I like the idea, but I'm sure there's something like a Pythagorean cup where you can drink from it and then offer it to somebody else, and then they drink the iocaine powder?
That's a bit sneakier!

To be honest, they've asked for it, and that will be my defence, Your Honour!

Sky must stop funding hate speech CW: Homophobia, hate speech Sky launched its programme for Pride 2024 with a ringing declaration the company was โ€œproud to celebrate LGBTQ+ storiesโ€. But while it was posting shiny videos claiming to ...

If you think, as I do, that GB News' open hostility to the LGBT+ community and Black and Brown people tacitly encourages violence we've made it very easy for you to tell Sky, one of its biggest advertisers, to stop funding hate.

Clarkson, Dyson and Lloyd Webber have come in for a bit of hate for being exploitative landowners avoiding tax. Surely we're better than that? We can make it a lot of hate?

I had a stunning new idea for a game show in a dream the other night. I excitedly wrote down my idea before falling back into a stupor again. I looked in the morning, and it read, "The woman wears a shoe on her hand."
My genius knows no bounds, it seems!

How privatisation works (and Thames Water is just the latest example).
1. A government takes a national asset built up with taxpayers' money and the work of public servants over many years, and hands it, for a fraction of its value, to a private company.
2. In doing so, it creates a monopoly.

A pre-emptive block is in order. There's no earthly reason why you need to subject yourself to his cesspit outpourings.

So head over to @nigelfarage-mp.bsky.social and slam that Block button. You'll never see him again.

Won't that be a relief?
