Nice, funny-ish, a bit sweary (sorry, not fucking sorry). Ageing disgracefully. Cooking and eating, music (20th century), travel, reading, history, genealogy, photography, ex-archery, less political here than there (not much).
Yes, there's gas in the car!

Rough vibes on this website today, likely because people feel Hopeless and Helpless Because Can't Stop It and No One Who Is Supposed To Is Trying To So Now We're Fighting Each Other™. I recommend activities such as book, or potentially instrument if you like instrument, or even do talk on phone.

#Sky back to their old trick of cranking the adverts up 50 decibels higher than the NFL feed, so I have to be permanently poised to hit the volume control so as not to wake the rest of the daily. Twats.

Jonathan Agnew posts on the BBC website: “What do you even say to Jamie Smith when he comes back into the dressing room after that?”
Might I suggest: “Pack your bags, if you hurry you can catch a plane home this evening…”

Colombia's President is NOT pussyfooting around.
Of course, it means he's next.

Colombian President Gustavo Petro just went after Trump:
“A clan of pedophiles wants to destroy our democracy. To keep (the Epstein) list from coming out, they send warships to kill fishermen and threaten our neighbor with invasion for their oil.”

I'm sorry, but I've been a #Bears fan for far too long to be excited about going into the wildcard round against the Packers.
Like a gun-shy quarterback, I'm already seeing ghosts of Aaron Rodgers. This is my nightmare scenario.

Doesn't seem to matter who the manager is, Spurs' players still seem more up for a fight AFTER the final whistle than during the game itself.
This seems to have gone on for years now.

now, it might seem odd that political commentators who advocated for the uk to leave the eu because of their belief in “the nation state” to be supportive of america’s annexation of venezuela, but what you have to remember is that those people didn’t actually think that, they were lying for money

A functioning Congress will have articles of impeachment drafted by the end of the day.
Our Congress will just go to social media to basically say “We don’t like this, but what are you gonna do?”

Stop calling it war. These are terrorist attacks being committed by the US government. Every foreign nation should be lining up sanctions.
