Disappointing to miss out on the one week where there’s nice autumn decor available before it’s overwhelmed by Halloween and Christmas shite

At what point in production do you think they realised this series is a complete dud? #taskmaster

Leigh Kirkham @leighkirkham.bsky.social · 2d

Not an original comment but fuck me the writing and acting on Eastenders is awful

Leigh Kirkham @leighkirkham.bsky.social · 2d

I assume this was filmed back to back with the new US civilian version so we’re going to see Joe from Idaho doing it yelling at a waitress from Arkansas

Little flashback to previous series murders with the complete works of Shakespeare there #celebritytraitors

I appreciate the France stat so I can keep yelling “France is worse than the UK!” at people

I wouldn’t have given the team the Hilbre Island answer, they got it right but they didn’t know, just pure luck there’s a River Dee in Scotland #universitychallenge

Someone on here called me a transphobe because I said there’s no way the UK government would let you have different ID with different genders

This isn’t related to anything, I just remembered it

Interesting that the BBC News website is now publishing unblurred images of dead bodies

@merseytart.bsky.social I don’t think anyone else in the world would be interested by this, but the new totems on Merseyrail have hats now and also for some reason left-justified station names

The best thing about Amber joining last minute is production couldn’t make a bullshit VT and instead had to show only the training AS THEY SHOULD WITH EVERY TRAINING VT #strictly

This is now confirmed as being far too long and they should go back to split premieres #strictly

Scott Bryan @scottygb.bsky.social · 14d

Strictly tonight is 2 hours 26 minutes long.

Catching up on #strictly and would like to know if anyone who designed and costumed the opening dance actually knows what the70s, 80s and 00s were like

I’ll vote for whatever party bans transit vans from being parked on residential streets

Leigh Kirkham @leighkirkham.bsky.social · 15d

The various nationalist parties main objection to a digital idea card being stamping feet and whining “I don’t want to be called Brit” really exposes the shallowness of their political movements

Leigh Kirkham @leighkirkham.bsky.social · 15d

It’s not an original thought, but people on this app really are cunts for absolutely no reason. No wonder it’s going to die on its arse if you can’t interact with people without them screaming at you and blocking you at the drop of a hat

Leigh Kirkham @leighkirkham.bsky.social · 15d

Government issued ID will have standardised policy on what details are required otherwise you can have people with multiple gov-IDs. This is already the case, DVLA and HMPO aren’t coming up with their own policies on gender recognition

I realise the audience for this would just be "me, and also maybe other foreigners" but I would love to read something on why Brits, who are happy to live in a country where their every movement outside is filmed by CCTV, hate the idea of having ID cards, something plenty of countries happily have

So you don’t understand how government policies work and how any change will be applied across all forms of government issued ID?
