I have a photo of a snapped gear shifter when a ditch leapt out of nowhere on my way home from the pub. Bastard was persistent as it got me twice!

I didn't realise, it's #WorldMentalHealthDay.

Tim was an absolute top bloke. Wise, funny, clever, passionate, and a bit silly. He was also extremely open and honest about his struggles. His story resonated with so many people. It's so important to speak about mental health, if only to help others.

On 29th October we're holding an event in Edinburgh about the Ride for Tim. There will also be talks from mental health charity Health in Mind, and Nick Ray @lifeafloat.bsky.social. All details here – all welcome 💙 fb.me/e/6IrqxMFSX

"It Can't Happen Here" is a 1935 dystopian novel by Sinclair Lewis that explores the rise of a fascist leader, Berzelius "Buzz" Windrip, in a fictionalized version of the United States. The story serves as a cautionary tale about the fragility of democracy and the potential for authoritarianism to take hold in America.

Popped in to see the MIL this eve on the way to the pub. She’s 81, and often asks the same questions

Do you like living in France?
Yes
Do you want to move back to england?
No
Why not?
I wouldn’t be in shorts at 5pm in October 😂

The subtitles of my sextape would just say "squelching" and then, "I'm sorry," after 30 seconds.

Flag shaggers as I call them

Well done #Nottingham for showing how it can be done

Lots of flag-botherers over on Facebook now suddenly demanding the council step in to take these down

Signs of kindness put up along Nottingham road in place of flags

It is not clear who put up the signs, which have appeared on lamp-posts along a road in Nottingham.
