Retired in Gloucestershire, UK
Cracking series but —after all that set up— I was hoping for a killer Milton-based pun in the end.

Well the new recipe vegan Babybels are a bit shit, aren’t they?

I think the problem is that they tried to make them taste like cheese, which they are clearly not.

It has come to my attention that there may be some confusion over this week’s House of Games.

I can officially deny everything.

Pick up the nearest book. Turn to page 42, post the second sentence.

@robinince.bsky.social I thoroughly enjoyed reading this but I’m sad to say that the two locations nearest to me are both going out of business.

Malvern Book Collective will close in March and Ledbury Books and Maps closes this week.

Support your local indie shops!

I removed an old wardrobe today and found a secret hidden opening bricked up behind it. I think we all know what that means.

This makes no sense…

An MP can wake up one morning, ditch the party you elected them for, & sign up to a completely different manifesto…

Albert Camus - The Fall

According to the boarding pass that I used as a bookmark, I bought this in an airport in 2004 and gave up at page 25.

Started again this week and finished tonight. It’s enough to make you want to start a band and rant at the world.
