The UK government needs to urgently allocate all available funds into making the No 12 bus less of a sodding health hazard when the temperature goes above 18°C

Love the shoes

ITS HAPPENING AGAIN! Get the iPlayer on for live coverage of the Coopers Hill Cheese Rolling Races. I promise you won't regret it.

I was responsible for this (it was literally my idea while I was Product Manager for Media Playout at the BBC) and it is still my proudest achievement ever

On the board behind them it says 'The Texan' so I looked up The Texan 1930 and was rewarded with this pic of Gary Cooper absolutely bringing it

"Still Life, Glasgow Bank Holiday Weekend" (Unknown, 2026)

FYI: if you're playing a programme on BBC iPlayer in a web browser you can still turn subtitles on and off by pressing 888.

Netflix notification 1664: "Are you still listening to your husband Samuel Pepys reading Aesop's Fables?"

YES! I have been saying this for literally years (admittedly just in two posts, but years apart). Carried by robots. The walkable city is crying out for them as a nice way to get between pubs when you're in heels/ tired

A real thing that can happen is rain going into your TV aerial wire where it connects to the aerial on the roof, and flowing all the way down inside it into your set top box, and you don't know until the picture starts pixelating because the Youview box has water in it

Checked the quotes to see how many people were saying Private Godfrey from Dad's Army wrote this! But I'm the first. Come on bluesky, telling each other stuff we already know is our STRENGTH

In memory of Jon Pertwee, gone 30 years today but still as iconic as ever.

🚨NEW EPISODE🚨 @outonbluesix.bsky.social joins @guy-e-walker.bsky.social and @robertcheath.bsky.social for episode 7 to talk about Young Poisoner's Handbook and Drop The Dead Donkey. Amazon: tinyurl.com/ux63nf87 Apple: tinyurl.com/3x3xpr5b Spotify: tinyurl.com/4xc6969a

Oh fuck yes, I just found this also is on HBO Max UK.

This is great btw. There's an inbuilt looseness which allows for unexpected, often brilliant, events, conversation and actually learning a bit about birds. The presenters genuinely seem to be friends in real life. Sam and Ade Go Birding on Channel 5 www.channel5.com/show/sam-ade...

On similar lines - if you have original exposed wooden floorboards in your flat, which run parallel to your front door, make sure the gaps between them are sealed, or at least are narrower than any important letters which might happen to be put through your letterbox

Very good advice. Also very useful if you fall down in a corridor in a self storage facility where the locked unit doors look like they go all the way to the floor but actually there's a 1.5cm gap

Saw your boyfriend in Sainsbury's demanding to be able to buy loose eggs

"can you explain this gap in your CV?"

HSBC has moved out of this Baker Street branch and taken its sign with it, revealing a Midland Bank ghost sign

What is the whole odyssey if not a penelope cruise

Minced lamb-flavoured Instant Whip at night: Shepherd’s Delight.

"It was on a cold and misty morning in March that Holmes and I prepared to make an aerial survey of the countryside. Holmes had found the addition of a helicopter to his crime fighting arsenal to be of material assistance."

My very considered opinion on a new James Bond is they better not be younger than me

Watching How To Marry a Millionaire. Lauren Bacall is 29 but has the voice and bearing of an elegant 60 year old. It feels completely fine that she's paired with William Powell and that's weird

Walking home from pub singing sexy french accent version of Snooker Loopy

R.I.P. David Burke. Seen here with Jeremy Brett in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes - The Solitary Cyclist (15th May 1984)

Not to mention the definitive version of the ski Sunday theme tune: youtu.be/hCIWyKey0BI

I was annoyed that I couldn't find a database of David Attenborough documentaries where I could search for a specific episode by topic. So I made it. attenborough-100.vercel.app

Talking to my past self: "in the future, learning languages involves watching animations of an owl's quivering, shiny buttocks"

Oh my GOD the bike has his name on it. Also what is that, a battery?

Cat on my lap when I cough or need to change position slightly: "Evacuate! Betrayal! I am now 5 miles away." Cat on my lap when I need to get up: "Nice try I am now sewn to the fabric of your clothes"

Rewatching 30 Rock and I think this is still possibly one of the best constructed jokes in anything, ever.

Design legend Margaret Calvert is 90 today. Look at that cake! If you've ever admired a road, rail or metro sign in Britain it's likely she had something to do with it. One of Britain's design heroes - happy birthday to her. Photo by: @oshgallerylondon (IG) Cake by: mybaker.co

I see someone's brushing up their Polari

“The Elder Scrolls” is what they say about you when you’re on your phone!

NEW: we're supersizing the Hopper fare to put money back into Londoners' pockets this summer. Look out for our fun 🐸 buses.

Les affiches de Bernard Chadebec pour la prévention des risques professionnels, réalisées en majeure partie pour l'Institut national de recherche et de sécurité. Un vrai régal 🥰

US Soothsayer: Beware the March of Ides

The US have Mother's Day today because they write the date backwards

Blind man's buff, he's like totally jacked

If you read them from the beginning they're the words of a dog who desperately wants you to come over because they've seen a frisbee

Sitting here hitting like on news articles when I like the news

Finally a great way to remember how to correctly pronounce Humphrey Ker's name followed by the French word for good

Get this watched, it's great Playhouse, Caught on a Train: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p036g87q

Just reading the below that says, up until 1860, if you wanted to travel WITHIN France, you needed a passport. ig.hypotheses.org/2246 And in a pre-photography world, that meant that an official could and would write down that your nose was "gros"
