I'm sorry to say I also heard the method used referred to on BBC radio yesterday. Someone needs to get up to date with the guidelines

The problem with the bad guy in #BlueLights is he looks too much like John Bishop for me to take him seriously.

With more defibrillators set to be installed, it’s also important that everyone learns how to use these devices.

I’m urging Londoners to watch our short training video on how to perform CPR and use a defibrillator to step in and assist in an emergency:

Before and after glazing of this patchwork vase. The idea being: you turn the vase around depending on the flowers you add so the vase compliments the green leaves, the white or red flowers :)

That's the idea.

One of those killed was Charlotte Salomon, a German-Jewish artist from Berlin. The author of the autobiographical series "Life? or Theater?: A Song-play".

After a long pause, I've just done another England Covid & NHS update as we head into the autumn/winter season.

TLDR: we're in a significant Covid wave now, the NHS is stretched, get boosted if you're eligible.

They can repackage it all they want. It's still a complete rip off.

The last time I saw a man in a stetson it was 8am in Dublin airport. I thought, Who does he think he is, Larry Hagman? It was.

The good people of Bluesky... a request for help.

I’m on the lookout for real-life examples of ridiculous tat, tacky gifts, or pointless gadgets:
e.g. a replica Viking Drinking Horn (with brass wolf adornments) or an Amanda Holden wall clock.

The more awful or futile, the better.

Any suggestions?
