Popped into the Golden Arches at Sparkford today. Saw the definition of optimism. Dodge Ram Pickup - a monstrosity rarely seen in the UK - pulling a massive caravan. He actually pulled up to the drive-through entrance. No chance of that tight turn, and he had to reverse all the way back out again.

I grew up on these streets.

I prosecute and defend the most serious sexual offences in our courts.

The overwhelming majority of offenders are British-born. Overwhelmingly the victim is someone known to them, either a partner or relative.

Anybody purporting to care about protecting women might start there.

#UniversityChallenge would be much better if competitors were limited to undergraduates only. PHD students feels like cheating.

Oh wow Anneke says she's playing with the original Gathering lineup next year. I hope they come to the UK too.

What's the story? Today's story is about belendery in car parking.

Three Xpan ratio photos in collage depicting blue sea and sky at West Bay in Dorset.

Rather lovely at #WestBay this morning, blue skies, crystal clear water. Possibly the clearest view I've seen there - we think a refracted view of further than Exmouth.

Poster for The Final Stetch of the IndyCar season. The font makes Final looks somewhat like Anal.

A rather unfortunate choice of font, a rather gaping error.

Enjoying some Assetto Corsa Competizione on PC this afternoon. #PCGaming

The overlong intro to the series, followed by the overlong intro to that episode showing the best bits. Then 40 minutes of a scientist out of focus, or unicycling, while five minutes of science is conveyed. Wonderfully BBC Human doesn't do this.

I don't use Instagram much anymore. But having a Threads account made using it even worse. So I've deleted my Threads account.

Yup Battlefield 6 looks a lot like a Battlefield game.

Just tried TikTok for the first time. First video it showed was massively racist. And within a few minutes had fed me several other racist videos. What a sewer.

Trans people poured their hearts into this consultation. The EHRC won't even bother to read them.

I once listened to Spinal Tap's Stonehenge at Stonehenge. I consider it one of the highlights of my time on Earth.

"The End Continues" is the newest album from Spinal Tap, in conjunction with the forthcoming sequel, 'Spinal Tap II: The End Continues.' Both the second film and album are set to release on September 12, 2025.

4 September 2025.

Now the YouTube volume control has moved again. Back to the left. That's better.

I kinda think after three goes at the same social media post, if I can't get it right without a typo I won't bother again.

I don't think it's anything I really need right now. It's not like I play much anyway.

Ah. I think my PC save is much further and richer than my Xbox one. Bit foolish to have divided my time between the two platforms instead of concentrating on one.

Can you transfer Xbox Elite wealth into an existing PC Commander?

A view of rolling farming countryside with the grey sea in the distance.

A bacon butty and the view of the sea. I do love living in Dorset.

I interviewed for deputy editor of C&VG and knew within minutes there wasn't a chance in hell. Still had to sit through the rest of the interview.

Is this the best ad ever? Maybe...maybe.

The trailer looked fun, and I loved the first one.

Can't imagine my snake-phobic wife will be joining me.

I like lots of it, but the late stuff isn't great. The early stuff is fantastic. And I love the stuff they did with Dio and Tony Martin.

Similar with Black Sabbath. I've got all Dio Sabbath, and all Martin Sabbath. Don't actually have all Ozzy Sabbath, some of the late stuff is a bit pish.

Didn't like the last album at all. Haven't really liked Metallica for quite a while. I hate the drumming, and the guitar tones, and I don't think James is really into metal anymore. Which is fine.
