Practice!

a man in a brown shirt is making a funny face while sitting at a table . Alt: Captain Mal Reynolds fails to find the words to argue with.

"Internal combustion engines have so many parts that failures are bound to occur... so we're going to add more parts."

"It's not just racists that voted for Brexit..."

The remains of Gwylfa Hiraethog, which have been an iconic local ruin my whole life. As it deteriorates I hark back to the greater ruin it once was - silhouetted gables defiant on the horizon.

Nominative Determinism.

They're very easy to find - just buy a replacement and the old ones will launch themselves out of cupboards at you.

How Much I Dislike the Daily Mail    I would rather  eat Quavers that are six weeks stale,  blow dry the man bun of Gareth Bale,  listen to the songs of Jimmy Nail,  than read one page of the Daily Mail.    If I was bored  in a waiting room in Perivale,  on a twelve-hour trip on Network Rail,  halfway through a circumnavigational sail,  I would not read the Daily Mail.    I would happily read  the autobiography of Dan Quayle,  1001 Things You Can Do With Kale,  selected scripts from Emmerdale, if it meant I didn’t have to read the Daily Mail.    Far better to  stand outside in a storm of hail,  scratch a blackboard with a fingernail,  be swallowed by a humpback whale,  than have to read the Daily Mail.    If I was blind   and it was the only thing in Braille,  I still would not read the Daily Mail.    Brian Bilston 

Today’s poem is called ‘How Much I Dislike the Daily Mail’.

The Telegraph "How Spain dismantled the British expat dream It was once a favourite of sun-seeking retirees - now the country is turning its back on overseas buyers"

The Telegraph have a funny way of spelling "Brexit" and "immigrant".

"The Prisoner", 1967.

The worst part is being sure you have that particular needle, but not being able to locate it in the haystack.

There was no HDD in the AGB22, EDU01 and EDU02 builds (see serial number).

Probably not the best time to post this, but are any folks in the UK interested in either an old BBC micro or a slightly younger Acorn Archimedes? No idea if they’re still working.

Battery level 90% alongside a battery icon with a superimposed snowflake. "Available range and battery level is affected by low ambient temperature" it warns, despite the temperature being 10°C.

Calm down Tenzing, that's not cold.

My Arabic's not so hot either.

Is it Defence (UK/International English) or Defense (US)? They seem uncertain.

The trees are great.

It's ridiculous to be talking about going to Mars when we can't even explain what cats are thinking in their contrarian little heads.

What are they trying to tell us? IS IT CONSUMERISM?! Why must the table be tidier than the floor? WHAT DOES IT MEAN?! 😩

Two Polestar 2s by the sea in the UK.

Welcome to the family!

This spoof is fantastic, not least for the aging choices they’ve made for the tech broligarchs. youtu.be/zdkBUuWCZg4?...

First track I think of - no Daft Punk detected whatsoever:

I looked it up in Gorton and Denton and this move hasn't been allowed in matchplay since 1853,except for the Chislehurst variant.

Yes but the protocol.

Not only the best thing from that mediocre film, it's the best work that Daft Punk did. However, it's wrong to attribute it solely to DP, it's remixed Joseph Trapanese really.

Here's a Trapanese track, no DP here, but it'd fit right in:

Being a non artist I'm unable to detect any fault in the painting, for which I apologise. I'll try to cultivate aesthetic disapproval and withering condescension as you rightfully deserve, but currently I can only like the art. Sorry!

I used to work with a lady who could navigate anywhere in the city, but only from one particular roundabout. So every journey involved driving there first and then on to the destination, even if it was back the same direction.

Putting a coprolalia sufferer in front of a microphone is like putting a wheelchair user in front of a flight of stairs - this person is going to have difficulty with that thing, and probably going to inconvenience others as they struggle.

It's an insult to everyone, & the BBC ditheringly useless.

"The table saw cut your finger off? How did you do that?!"

"Well I just went like this and oh there goes another"
