What we need is that British spirit. Ordinary billionaires to arrange a rag tag collection of superyachts to rescue folk from the beaches of Dubai.

Mornin'

Doctor told me I should try Chai Tea Walking. Was very sweet. Kept dribbling down my chin. Would try again but would sit down.

Never been interested in cars. Just another gadget, but costs more. Being nagged about brake issues so I've booked it in for Saturday. Until then I suppose I'll drive a bit slower and keep to the inside lane on dual carriageways and motorways.

Every four years I remember that I am an expert on the sport of Curling. Discussing the finer nuances and strategies with other experts who also haven't mentioned it since the previous Winter Olympics.

Around 8 million adults in the UK (54% of the working-age population) have low numeracy skills, sometimes below the level expected of a nine-year-old. Yet there is no calculator on a car dashboard. This is why average speed cameras are scam to make money.

Regurgitate 😶

Can't get an exact figure, but it seems there are circa 4000 words in the English language that start with the letters "re" and nutjobs won't be satisfied until there is a political party for each one. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Going down a word rabbit hole. A "brunette" is a woman or girl with brown hair but a man with brown hair is a "brunet". Bears of either gender are neither. You can't call a Red Setter a "Strawberry blonde setter". Auburn refers to reddish-brown hair from Old French "alborne" meaning blonde or white.

I'm dealing with a case atm that involves two people in their mid 60s divorcing. It is not amicable. This morning I was told that "if he doesn't start being sensible I am going to call his mum" and I think I kept a straight face brilliantly.

So not for the first time @mtgallagher.bsky.social has had an influence on me. Up until a week or so ago I had never heard of The Good Ship Murder and now I have a Channel 5 account!

Oh no. Please grow up and do some work on behalf of the ordinary people, exhausted by endless lies from media outlets who regurgitate propaganda on behalf of the rich, right wing billionaires who own them. Ffs. Guardian, be better than this click-bait bollox www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Chris Mason is confusing what is happening and what he wants to happen.

So yesterday afternoon was the first serious gluten mistake for five years. Ate the wrong thing and suffered the consequences. Feeling a tad fragile today but will be back to normal by tomorrow. Count myself lucky that I don't have these symptoms everyday like some folks.

Thoroughly enjoyed that opening ceremony. Have now been introduced to the term "sliding athletes" for the first time as well. Not something I believe I can say out loud without sniggering. #winterolympics

I had a Cortina that caught fire in 1978 #winterolympics

Shocking story. Just how many solicitors are financially dependant on money from clients accounts? Seems a bit risky using a solicitor who's finances are that precarious. www.telegraph.co.uk/business/202...

That's the end of my mooch around #TorreAbbey Met some nice trees, doors and a tame bollard. Don't think I did to bad with the phone. Might take a camera next time though. And a tripod. Should do this more often.

There was no colour before Leonardo Di Caprio invented it during the Renaissance in Italy. This is how the trees looked at #TorreAbbey back then
