This ongoing argument brought me much joy back in the day when Twitter was good.
Call that an argument? THIS is an argument.

Wombie is a proper good’un.
Friends of @wombat37.bsky.social unite!
By quote reposting this, I’m hoping to make a virtual chain of people around Wombie. Full of love and happy memories of this great friend of ours, so he can feel us making a huge circle of love and care around him.
Are you in?

This Chicago number isn’t working very well, is it? I mean the narration of the cleaned-up lyrics just made the whole thing very static. #strictly

my great-grandparents arrived in the UK in the 1890s with nothing.
they sold pickles from the front room window, took in laundry, worked as tailors.
their children were nurses, teachers, salesmen.
their grandchildren were professors, designers, opticians, doctors, magistrates, entrepreneurs.

This seems tremendously complicated and difficult but Lewis’s arms bother me. They still feel a bit uncontrolled and untidy. Am I sounding a bit Craig? It all felt quite hard work. #strictly

Aw, I thought that was lovely. If it Balvinder’s turn to leave this week, at least she’s going out on a good one and looking beautiful in that frock. #strictly

I think George has been sold a pup with this music for the Argentine Tango. That didn’t work at all for me, and an odd way to start the show. #strictly

Update: I’ve soared to 4.88.
I remain stubbornly at 4.83 thanks I believe to one arsey driver who kept on and on about how I’d done Uber wrong and eventually I said, “mate, I’ve got cancer” and he shut up. I reckon he gave me just four stars. Because the rest of the time I’m lovely.
