Not me shouting "hell, yes ✊!" when my collegue, presenting a chart, recommends: "we should not move further to the right, we should go more to the left".

sadly I did not take her perfume with me after she died and I cannot for the life of me remember what it was called or what it looked like. Guess I have to rely on her scent visiting me in my sleep every now and then...

The other day I nodded off on the sofa, just a half slumber where I still heard what was being said on Masterchef. Suddenly I smelled my Mum's perfume, clear as day. The scent woke me up, and then it was gone. My Mum died 4 years ago this October. This experience was bizarre but also lovely. 💔

the Oxford Mail's editorial stance isn't known for pointing out the positives.

In case you had not clocked that yet: the congestion charge is a pro bus measure. 🚌💚

Oxford Clarion @oxfordclarion.bsky.social · 1d

Oxford Bus Co has announced more frequent bus services from November to coincide with the congestion charge coming into effect. The improvements mean Blackbird Leys and Cowley will have services to the city centre every 10 minutes, while Iffley Road gets a new night bus.

thank you for pointing this out. As with many things that need pointing out, this should have been obvious. Every day is a school day.

rule 1 of being a god: if a women isn't interested in you but you are desperate to father her children, just pretend you're someone/something else, or wait until she's asleep.

stories we have told for centuries have an impact on the here and now. Nothing romantic or heroic about tricking women into sleeping with them.

Not sure who needs to hear this, but hear me out: Zeus (the Greek Mythology one) is a predator and a r*pist.

Delighted to be back on BBC Politics South this morning talking Digital ID, Green Party Conference, and pharmacies.

Just watched it with the kids: the “which animal is your party” was definitely their favourite feature.

I was completely blown away. I never expected it to be so stunning inside.

the irony is that every single person on the counter protest side would probably die on the hill of this asshole's right to protest for what he believes in, despite hating everything he stands for.

The organiser of the anti immigration protest was taunting counter protesters to state they support Palestine Action to the police standing between the two protesting groups, revelling in the idea that they could get arrested for expressing their views. The state of things is not normal.

Oxford anti immigration protestors (who's only chant is "Oh, Tommy Tommy, Tommy Robinson") were flying the Israel flag alongside the Union Jack and St George Cross on Sunday. The same person who was doing a literal Nazi salute 2 protests ago was now shouting "Jew haters" at counter protestors.
