I haven't posted much lately in here Aidan. I've spent more time arguing with idiots on X. I know it's pointless, but I can't stop myself.

Good to see you on here. I know what you mean. I haven't been on here much lately because there are so many morons on X to take the piss out of.

Poster entitled "The Joy of Cycling," which is a parody of the 1972 book The Joy of Sex by Alex Comfort. This poster contains illustrations of a bearded man with headings such as, "Meet new partners," "Do it with the lights on," "Lubricate," "Dress Up," and "Use Protection!"

London-based creative agency Airside designed this homage to the 1970s sex manual The Joy of Sex for a Transport for London poster contest. It didn't win the contest, but here it is, for you to enjoy in the privacy of your own home.

It made me smile this chap defending him. I mean if I wanted a character witness, I doubt I'd approach him.

29 July 2025

Police want to question far-right activist Tommy Robinson after an alleged assault at St Pancras railway station in London.

Video footage emerged on social media showing Robinson walking back and forth near a motionless man lying on the floor at the station. The clip does not show how the man ended up on the floor.

The British Transport Police (BTP) said officers had found a man on Monday evening with "serious but non-life-threatening injuries". It added that a 42-year-old male suspect had boarded a flight out of the country in the early hours of Tuesday morning.

Robinson, 42, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, was contacted by a female BBC reporter for comment, but Robinson responded with a message that said "slag".

The BTP said its suspect was from Bedfordshire, but did not name him. It added that detectives were continuing to investigate the incident with the aim of bringing the suspect into custody for questioning.

Do listen!
Apparently this passes for serious political analysis on the station Talk TV:

β€œ(Tom) Lehrer recalled the studio session for β€˜Poisoning Pigeons in the Park’ , which referred to the practice of controlling pigeons in Boston with strychnine-laced corn:

β€œThe copyist arrived at the last minute with the parts and passed them out to the (studio musicians)…And there was no title on it, and there were no lyrics.”

β€œAnd so they ran through it, β€˜What a pleasant little waltz’…

β€œAnd the engineer said β€˜Poisoning Pigeons in the Park, take one,’ and the piano player said β€˜What?’ and literally fell off the stool.”
