I'd be surprised if anything is done. This blackguard has been obstructing a junction every night for a month without any interest from anyone who should be undertaking parking enforcement

What's the point in having a credit card when the bank does this? If I even knew what they didn't like about the purchase it might be a of some use.
Screenshot of a message from my bank saying that they have blocked a payment because it's against their policy, but they won't tell me what the policy is or if/when it will change. They suggest paying by another means.

@therealyplac.bsky.social right on a junction is now the favourite parking spot for this miscreant.

Fun whilst dismantling a laptop to replace a broken keyboard. Does anyone recognise that connector and know where I might get a replacement?

"Friends" is a beloved American sitcom that aired from 1994 to 2004, following six young adults—Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe—living in New York City. The show explores their friendships, romances, careers, and personal growth over ten seasons.
Roj Blake and his five human accomplices. He is wearing a jacket with incredibly puffy sleeves, his arms extended as if to dissuade the others from advancing. Kerr Avon's studded leather jacket almost reaches the same level of taste and elegance.

If you see this post a vampire that isn't Dracula.

This (not sure of the source, apologies) is rather relevant:

Because it entertains me to look for it, here's the window (circled faintly in red) inside which that cat slept.
A large 18th century house in yellow stone. A modern car is parked outside. A downstairs window towards the rear, on the side, is circled.

Seeing the @catsofyore.bsky.social account reminded me of this photo from the early 1980s.

My favourite watch is working once again, with my favourite watch face. I'm not quite ready to switch away from a Pixel watch (running is one important reason) but I hope to do so once I've received my new Pebble.

Here's a photo of a gig from the 90s, when we sucked horribly. I had not realised what other acts also played in that venue...

A rock band on stage in a dingy pub. It's clearly an old colour photograph which has suffered from age and then been scanned. The singer, two guitarists and the bassist can be seen, but the drummer is hidden from view behind the singer.

Here's the event in question.
A rock band in a dingy pub. This is clearly a scanned photo from the days before digital photography. The guitarists and bassist have their hands (at which they are looking) at the 5th fret. The singer is looking back at the band. The few audience members visible don't seem to be paying attention.

I've seen plenty of articles about how they couldn't possibly be listening which make perfect sense, technically. But still, suspicious events occur. Just in case Google's not lying I make good use of this setting.

The local museum has a couple of photos of a street party on the 15th Aug. 1945 for #VJDay
It just so happens that I was able to get to the same spot today.
The same houses, to the photographer's right, on the 15th of Aug. 2025. One, on the right, has been replaced with a more modern stone building but the others remain much the same other than such things as new doors, windows, and satellite dishes. The street is now empty. Now that the photo is in colour the houses can be seen to be made of yellow stone and have pale green doors (a popular colour in this area). The same houses, to the photographer's left on the 15th of Aug. 2025. The houses remain much the same other than such things as new doors, windows, and satellite dishes. The sign for an undertakers' business over the house to the left has long gone. The street is now empty.

A black and white photo showing a street party with everyone posed for the camera in front of some old stone houses. Children in the photo are seated around a table. Some text says "the end of the war Aug 15 1945 Spring Street V. J. tea". The party is to the photographer's left.

Dodgy, indeed!
An issue of "The LIGHT" - it appears to be a right wing conspiracy theorist newspaper, and is on display under a shelf of sauce bottles (or bottles resembling them). The headline is "computer says no".

Just in case anyone wants to see my lock screen, without me cheating. Unlikely, I know, but why not post it anyway?
A sparse and tasteful lock screen with simple diagonal coloured stripes. It is clearly from an Android phone, not iOS.
