Approaching Christmas, my mind went back to childhood days. I would always get Dad (with mums help & money) soap on a rope. Set me wondering is it still "a thing". The answer it appears is sort of, not in shops that I checked, Boots, Superdrug, main supermarkets. But it's available online. Brut !!

Couldn't a UKtec company set up a UK based equivalent to Twitter or Bluesky/Threads. The Canadians have set one up (Eh!) and then, importantly don't sell out to Trumps fan boys in the US.

Love #uncanny on @bbcsounds, part of me feels dissapointed I've never had a supernatural experience in the near 65 years I've been on this earth. But the other half of me is relieved as I'd probably become a ghosts, through shook (if I wasn't such a skeptic)

Watching the latest Star Trek series, Strange New Worlds. Quite enjoying it, but it's simply Captain Kirk series, but the Captain is now Chris Pike. Who is remarkably similar to Kirk. Interesting that they introduced Kirk in episode 1 as a young crewman. But not seen him since.

Watching Brokenwood Mysteries (sort of New Zealand Midsomer Murders in my mind). Anyway they mentioned Cell 'phones and I wondered are us Brits the only ones that call them mobiles?

Which ever way this Test match and thus the series goes, anyone who says Test cricket us dead have no idea. Absolutely superb. So good to see the Oval so full for what will probably be little more than a hours play.

Not been on here much, dipping in now & then. I've been mostly on threads, but the nuts from MAGA & Reform Ltd are moving over there & my blocking finger has developed cramp. Here there's nice chat & even the political stuff so far is quite grown up, long may that continue.

Anybody who says #DrWho has "gone woke" should go back & watch the early episodes of the reboot. Christopher Eccleston & Dave Tennant are as "Woke" as Jodie Whittaker & Ncuti Gattwa just infinatly better writing & stories.

America, can Trump be impeached on the basis he's useless, or does he have to have done something illigal whilst in office?

Serious question, what exactly does "Make America great again" actually mean? Asking, because as far as I can see from the outside, Trump is doing an awful job at it. Seems he's determined to Make America an embarrassment. Or possibly Make America a Russian state. But great, certainly not.
