Terrific. I ordered some things from John Lewis and they're using Evri. So I guess it's going to be a case of getting it this year, next year, sometime, never. What possessed JL to use such a dreadful company?

Danny Kruger has been seen catching and eating swans in Castle Combe. If he can lie, so can we. Please retweet.

I think it's sad that the only time Melania Trump looked genuinely happy on her UK trip was when she was with the Princess of Wales meeting with a racially diverse group of scouts. Shows the strain she is under from Trump. It's true that money and power don't bring happiness.

Is it just me or does FLOTUS look like an IKEA lamp standard? While Camilla seems to be wishing she was anywhere rather than there.

I have discovered today that Islay the westie has a two and a half hour clock. Two and a half hours after my OH goes out, she starts whining, presumably thinking 'Come in, Andrew - your time is up.'

Note to self. Must not repost this.

Whatever your views on Bath's traffic problems, can I suggest you visit the Museum of Bath at Work on October 14 at 6.30pm for a fascinating talk on the subject. To book a ticket, email [email protected]

So Camilla's already pulled a sicky before Trump arrives - will Charles do the same before tomorrow?

Yup! This wins the Internet today 😆 👏👏

'Significant aggression' 9 arrests vs stop killing Palestinians peaceful protest over 900 in the nick. Justify that. news.sky.com/story/politi...

The kids who died in the school shooting the day Kirk was murdered were infinitely more valuable human beings simply by virtue of not being kirk. They had their whole lives ahead of them, and didn't spend them building an empire to hurt their enemies. Kids like that die every day. It's the guns.

Mr Ethical I have put it all together. I smell fresh laundry.

We went to the Tumps today and in the car park was a 1960s Rover 3500 V8 saloon. DId I drool over it? I did. Did I tell the owner how much I admired it? I did. Was he thrilled to bits and proud as Punch? He was. Only drawback - the petrol consumption - 19 mpg - but it was a thing of beauty.

Stale, Male, and so much beyond the Pale.

Amid all the doom and gloom - a bit of excitment at Akeman Press Towers. Islay the Westie is going to be a postergirl for Melksham Woozelbears!

Who could possibly have foreseen?

Reform UK Councillor Jim O’Neill has deleted this post, but we think it’s important to share as it’s pretty spot on. Tories 2.0 (but only their rejects).

If you don't want to be blasted out by the alarm today, just turn your phone off at about 14.55.

So next time anyone says Farage met Trump you can send them this.

Angela Rayner accidentally pays less tax than she should have, resigns, and the media gives her hell. Nigel Farage deliberately pays less tax than he should have, and the media gives him a free pass. That, right there, is the problem.

Good evening It's #FarageOut Friday! Remember #JohnsonOut? It's time for #FarageOut Simply use the hashtag twice in any post when you mention him Repost it every time you see the hashtag #FarageOut

At risk of sounding like a song from the Sound of Music, here are raindrops on a rose.

Silence is complicity

He may not be more evil than Hitler but he is clearly as evil. God help you in the U.K if he ever gets into power. Trump can’t help being a bastard because he is clearly insane but Farage knows what he is doing.

If there are any early music musicians out there looking for recorders, I have five for sale. Here they are with prices suggested by Hobgoblin (I'm open to offer though) . DM me if interested.

I found this on Bluesky and I think it's an excellent reminder of how toxic and deceitful Farage and his pals are.

If we want to lead the way in cutting down on plastic, how about immediately banning plastic grass? Or needless plastic wrapping like that in Pear's soap. Inside the cardboard box, the soap is wrapped in thin plastic. Why? It's pointless.

Just a picture of our pineapple lily Eucomis comosa 'Sparkling Burgundy coming into flower.

Reminder: If you hear anyone claiming the #MarchForHumanity #SaveGaza March across the Sydney Harbour Bridge today in support of Palestine is somehow anti-Semitic,the Jewish Council of Australia supports it. 👇 And here's their full media release: www.jewishcouncil.com.au/2025/08/medi...

Given everything that has happened on Twitter/X in the last 2 years it is astonishing that the govt hasn’t even reviewed its use of the platform

Good morning #Butterflies, denizens of Wülferhampton and fellow Skylings 🌄👋☕️🦋 Only one picture is suitable for today. The late, great Janey Godley speaking for all of us who aren't drinking the KoolAid of Trump and Farage.

Holocaust survivor Stephen Kapos on protest ⬇️ The crackdown on our right to protest started with rhetoric- ministers saying peaceful protests are “hate marches”. Now it’s in policy, expanding police powers to crackdown on our right to speak truth to power.

@werahobhouse.bsky.social Is this what our police are meant to be doing? I am appalled.

Strange clouds this evening. If you painted them like that, people would think you'd invented them.

We saw a tiger on our walk today. A Jersey Tiger.

I seriously think the dog - aka Tripper-up in Chief - thinks her name is GetoutoftheWAYIslay. Not that she answers to that any more than she does to Islay.

Great @newstatesman.com piece by @neweconomics.bsky.social's Hollie Wright The "exodus" of the wealthy is being overblown & departures are often "more about 'perceptions of declining opportunity & social cohesion' than any particular fiscal measure" www.newstatesman.com/politics/202...

Anyone got a video of a hare having the shit scared out of it by a curlew — ah, don’t worry, got one anyway!

So we planted a shady bower ready for hot weather. We just bought new seats and a handy table to take a glass of wine. But alas - today, it's even too hot to sit out there. 😭

@bbcnewsnight.bsky.social‬ Did you see this? and will you answer?

@microsoft.com You sent me an email which started out by saying I have to make a purchase to keep this account active and rambling on about tenant id. Would you have the courtesy to explain what on earth this means - why should I buy something else from you. Or is it a scam?

@microsoft.com Please can I have an answer.

Home | Microsoft Community Hub! 🦋 techcommunity.microsoft.com I have received an email which says I have to make a purchase because my microsoft entra ID tenant hasn't been used for 200 days. I havent the faintest idea what you are talking about. Is this a scam? Why should I buy anything off you?

@drjaninaramirez.bsky.social I watched the programme about Klimt's painting The Kiss. One thing I noticed was that the flowers in the grass are all Pasque Flowers - which flower at Easter. And Judas betrayed Jesus with a kiss. Do you think this is significant? Just a thought.
