trying not to fuck the planet or anyone else up… enjoying beer, music and wildlife along the way. Optimist that we’re finally past peak-right-wing-arsehole?

Platelet donation. NHS will cover my parking for four hours, but I prefer to help others and take the bus. Yeah, this would cost me £3.50 in London but Starmer decided £5.20 was fair in the Second City and the NHS won’t give me this back. Still… helping kids with cancer, eh.

We've recieved hundreds of complaints about our new Christmas display on Warley Water Tower. We are sorry for any offense caused.

The sign was obviously meant to read 'Let It Snow', however the octagonal shape of the tower meant that the sign spacing ended up in a very unfortunate place!

I love the barbican as much as anyone, but this always reads as “City of London has this sort of cash, but how has central government funding to the Second City fared over the last fifteen years?”

so bitcoin was trading 50% higher than this level a couple of months back… that’s a pretty serious drop: a few people are in some deep shit

disappointed that there’s no discussion of the proximity of Tom’s dad’s name to “probin my arse” - seriously shouldn’t his parents have thought it through. wartime so mebbz they had other things on their minds

exceptionally poor take from the Observer. (1) how’s it going for the cricketers? (2) comparing apples and bastard oranges

ha! you bastards, mis-print in the new Macca book… err ok, hang on - he did the whole of the Beatles… a solo album… two Wings albums and he was still in his twenties. Jeez.

“truly shocking” twenty million people have seen the video of the guy committing the crimes… and the guy admits the crimes?! “truly shocking” I thought it was Lucy Connolly did it. truly shocked.

“paul doyle denies all charges” social media mentlers still convinced he’s a successful businessman who has been outrageously framed by the deep state. peculiar.

DavCam a decade ago - we need to slash the nhs and live within our means… same cunt in 2025 - I’ve had cancer so we need to spend millions more on testing… whoever said the Tory party is a morally spent tangle of contradictions and has no future was probably woefully under-stating their problems
