Looking at the Caban Coch dam near Rhayader mid-Wales this morning, looks like the dam is very, very nearly full and the wind is blowing some over the lip of the dam. www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4CN...

2/2 What's going on with the screen in the background. It starts off showing studio footage and then starts showing weird random Pet Shop Boys related stuff. Any ideas?

Pet Shop Boys fans. Your thoughts please on this Top of the Pops performance from 29/11/1190. m.youtube.com/watch?v=EGp0... 1/2

@nickbriggs.bsky.social morning listen - been a while but I really love this one...

The problem about making a silly pledge if your YouTube Channel reached 100 subscribers is that when it reached 100 subscribers ... www.youtube.com/shorts/p0bCN...

Finally got my latest Video together, end of October update mainly from my plot at North Bournemouth Allotment Society - and you'll see why it took so long in the introduction.

Happy Fenton Day to all who celebrate. Jesus Christ, fourteen years. youtu.be/3GRSbr0EYYU

Love being reminded to do this every year. It's a win/win all round

Thank you @nicholaspegg.bsky.social - if it were not for you I would have ended my second longest streak on Wordle yesterday.

If you employed an electrician to do some work for you, and it turned out to be in breach of standards, I would blame the electrician not you. Same if you paid an agency to let your property and they ignore a legal requirement specific to the place they operate in.

First time a Senedd vote had a turnover of over 50%. Shows if people other than Reform get out and vote, the better outcome prevails. If only people realised this in 2016.

How to Cure and Cold Smoke Salmon at Home DIY Smoked Salmon Recipe In my latest video, I go through my full process of curing and cold smoking salmon. This isn’t a subtle supermarket slice —this is the unsubtle business. youtu.be/bO7xMMr9np4

This is a lie. There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years. But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

My latest allotment/veg gardening video is a bit shorter than usual, concentrating on my plot at North Bournemouth Allotment Society. Welcome and Dad Joke Allotment Tour Planting out Seedlings My rambles Seeds and Seedlings at home www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAJh...

My latest veg growing and food video is up, and is a bit of a beast, including: Dad Joke Allotment Tour Green Manure New Brassicas Potatoes for Christmas Sewing Seeds Fillosify Corner Runner Bean Chutney Teaser Seeds and Seedlings youtu.be/IjW9g6YofMA

I seem to have found myself teaching CoPilot what roast potatoes look like.

Why do authorities make descriptions of road closures as obscure as they can?. I mean the one below starts tomorrow, and it does not show how it fits into the surrounding roads or other contextual information.

Brexit Britain in one image.

Charlie Kirk was not on my radar (I did not realise I was watching a parody of him last month). But the ironic thing is I will not countenance or defend a shooting of someone, no matter their views, but Charlie Kirk - according to a 2023 quote - seemed to be OK with it.

This article is not surprising. But why are the media not jumping on what is revealed in this paragraph, like they did with Rayner? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The finest response I've seen so far.

Since I occasionally catch it on the wireless set, I still imagine Melvyn Bragg as looking like this ...

Happy Birthday Pauline Collins

Happy Birthday Keir Starmer

Who doesn't like a politician with a sense of humour to get his point across 👍

I have made a video about vegetable seedling plug or module trays. Unpacking Huw Richards trays and comparing with Charles Dowding trays. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGOy...

Happy Birthday Barry Gibb

I think I have the St George Flag thing sorted in what is left of my brain: - If it is motivated by pride in your country then fine (although please clear it up at some point). - If it is motivated by hatred of others then no, this it is a facet of our society that disgusts me.

Happy birthday Rachel Khoo

already gone

Charles Rolls of Rolls Royce was born on this day in 1877. He went to my old school. Or rather he plummeted to my old school (dying in the process).

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who's coming to save you?

No drama Starmer getting shit done at home and away. You can’t imagine another UK political leader speaking confidently on the global stage like him because they’re just third rate wannabes. Let’s start now with some well earned respect for our PM. He’s done good for UK.

London's crime rate now is half of what it was in 1990 and nearly a quarter of 1975. But all Farage has is BS and lies.

Just posted a video where I look around the Central Market, Valencia... youtu.be/j-B5aiyiRUw
