A man & a dog. Come for pictures of Wilbur ๐Ÿถ, stay for #Pittsburgh Sports, #mufc musings and general randomness. Ex-weatherdude. Completely preposterous, but absolutely human. Native of Manchester, now in the Democratic People's Republic of Bromsgrove.

The vast majority of British people don't have A level standard English so this is truly insane.

I'm going to go down a Murun Buchstansangur rabbit hole here, but on reflection it really was interesting and it may even be profound.

I wonder if it would work better today, instead of 40 years ago when kids were left wondering what the hell they'd just watched

Cool, yeah, just let me know. I have some shopping to do, so we'll head over for breakfast as usual, get my bits and then grab Wilbur a puppacino before heading home ๐Ÿ™‚ so feel free to tag along whenever if you're free ๐Ÿ™‚

Same, I hate weather like today's. It's mild as well, so I can't just wrap up warm and stay indoors.

Anything cheese based, or just cheese in general

Too may to mention - All the President's Men, Superbad, American Pie to name three.

Not really a dancer, but In My Arms by Mylo always puts me in a good mood.

Share a cartoon from the past that kids today probably never heard of.

I have no dog in the fight between the Mariners and Blue Jays as they happen to be my favourite American League teams and I hope whoever comes out of this series goes on to win the World Series, but Seattle has that look of a team of destiny at the moment.

Elon Musk is a white nationalist. Anyone who needs more data points to reach this conclusion is beyond help or persuasion.

If you buy, rent, service, or supercharge a Tesla you are supporting the most powerful white nationalist on earth. Period.

I took Wilbur for our first walk in the dark this autumn / winter tonight ๐Ÿ˜. It's not the time of year, or the nights that are drawing in that get me, it's the dull, cloudy days. Bright and cold days are nice as you say, but when the sky is endless slate grey, then that's what drags me into the pit.

Post you from a different era.

18 years ago before the Baby Zebra* Diet kicked in

(*I lost 70 pounds in a year, approximately the same weight as a baby zebra)

When most of them were doing this anonymously, you just knew that their social media and actions would reveal their true colours.

That last note around his other business is..terrifying. And he lives in Bromsgrove, too.

Well, time to sell up, I had a good ten years here, can't complain too much ๐Ÿ˜†

โ€œIntroduce yourself using only one food you refuse to eat, one movie youโ€™ll never watch again, and one song you canโ€™t standโ€

Tuna. Worst bout of food poisoning ever.

Not a Marvel, DC or Horror movie person.

Have a Nice Day by Stereophonics. It's soundtracked some of the worst moments in my life.

Planetโ€™s first catastrophic climate tipping point reached, report says, with coral reefs facing โ€˜widespread diebackโ€™ Unless global heating is reduced to 1.2C โ€˜as fast as possibleโ€™, warm water coral reefs will not remain โ€˜at any meaningful scaleโ€™, a report by 160 scientists from 23 countries warns

This is very sad, but also not surprising. The science has warned for a long time, including in IPCC reports, that even modest levels of global warming will devastate virtually all coral reefs.
