What a pretty photo! Beautiful colours! I love this time of year - there’s some sumac trees at the bottom of my road that put on a riot of colour.

HOW. THE. FUCK. DID. THEY. DO. THAT. Completely sleepwalked till the equaliser then ended up 3-1 winners. Incredible stuff and an absolute howler from the Greek goalie.

GREECE JUST DID A SCOTLAND

Emma Stump @pisci.bsky.social · 3d

And talking of Scotland they’ve been fucking honking so far against Greece.

Hells bells, England 3-0 up already. I’m surprised Wales have been so poor; they’ve been great in all the games I’ve seen them in under Bellamy (and a damn sight better than Scotland). I honestly thought they’d be stiffer opposition.

What would it be like if cats and whales changed places? My partner sent me these pictures from a Russian children’s book and I can’t stop thinking about the little whale drinking from a saucer. 🐋

Great post by @gralefrit.bsky.social about one of the greatest TV title sequences of all time - and the mysterious identities of all those people boozing away the day and night.

#OTD 45 years ago (7 Oct 1980) according to my diary, I drew these images for the Hitchhiker's Guide BBC TV series. Douglas Adams as both the ad exec and as Paula, the worst poet in the universe. I was 19 years old and having fun.
