I design and produce exhibits and displays for the heritage sector, realise artist's concepts in 3D using tech/superglue and fix things too precious to throw away
Me after listening to a much admired podcaster saying that the consequences of the rightwing, neo-liberal, billionaire backed feckery going on to ruin the world needs to be swift and utterly brutal.

@martinlewis.moneysavingexpert.com I managed to screengrab the last half of this scam ad on YouTube. They should be sued merely for taking payment to push this s**t on their platform!

When "Come fight a war we politicians could have prevented had we the balls & courage to regulate the tech bros, tax billionaires, asset rich & tax dodging mega-corps to boost wages, education & foreign aid. Thanks - we'll be in the bunker if you need us." is too many words to fit on a poster.

So last week some kiddies stole the bike I'd owned 8 years from my locked garage, pushed it ½ a mile using another bike, then torched it.

I've thought of a dozen ways to secure my next bike should someone try to TWOC it, all of which would get me arrested for causing actual bodily harm.

Feeling so British right now I could almost wave a pint, vote for Nigel Farage, hand over public assets to transnation corporations to loot and make no comment as I watch an immigration centre burn and British made armaments obliterate children while eating chips and curry sauce.

While I struggle to think of another Black Sabbath track other than the 'Finished with my woman...' one l'm in flux about quite why many rock stars are put on a pedestal for just being good at their job.

Much fun trundling on the Distinguished Gentleman's Ride London last week. The old timer didn't enjoy static traffic and had to have a few sleeps on the way round but he is 90 next year. £577 raised - thanks everybody.

I've still not got around to setting up a film production company purely so I can have an extended animated sequence of something underwhelming and of opaque meaning just to annoy people for 45 secs or more at the beginning of a Netflix movie which probably isn't worth watching… but I'll get to it.

Today I'm issuing an executive order to initiate a system whereby anyone sending SMSs or emails or telephone calls pays a £0.02 charge to the recipient's country's internal revenue service. Take that spammy fecking spammers. 🖕🏻

I'm going to say it after years of keeping quiet. Brompton bikes are hideous.

Techbros rush to develop AI like kiddies running after the ice cream wagon run by a serial predator. He'll kill us all but at least you got your ice cream.

Where the fück do I sign up to tell YouTube that I HAVEN'T OWNED A CAR FOR 14 YEARS SO I DON'T NEED TO SEE 500 ADS FOR CAR FINANCE MISSELLING CLAIMS EVERY FNACKING HOUR?

Is anyone keeping a list of all the federal officials and officers "just obeying orders"? If you have ethical boundaries you could just quit you know? Oh.... I get it now.

I tried to watch G20 but the idea of a US president being a hero is a movie trope that will never play again. Murca - you've been eating your own sh*t for so long that you're blind to it.

Here's an idea - keep the 250 staff and ditch the chancellor! I bet the place will still run.
