We are arguing about whether Bluetack existed in our youth and discover it is a Leicester invention of the golden 1960s, not that it was ever seen then

Palantir's Maven enables girls' schools targeted much faster

Street View, unusual thing to occupy your front garden. Gosty Hill Canal Tunnel shaft in the Black Country (massively pre-dating the houses of course)

Good morning

"These people created elaborate totems as part of their Fertility Cult"

Back in the late 80's the chips from any Blue Lagoon were just the worst. You only had them in the wee hours and only if you were well hammered.

Gordon Street branch of Blue Lagoon stops Fish Suppers

Breakfasting on flatbread and Caponata, which turns out to be aubergine with mouthwatering 'acidity regulator'

Credit to 'Court Above The Cut' fresh 'scrapes' to create wildlife habitats interesting patterns in the landscape for future civilisations to puzzle over. What were they up to?

Not hearing much about these people ..

Wholesale bombardment of Iran is cruel and wrong of course. Early signs it may be counterproductive too

A small number of Labour MPs are in effect sleeper Greens

Our Mayor reflecting the confusion in Reform, the line keeps changing

Conversely, within 12 months of moving anywhere, the local football team has been relegated.

Dalston, aeons before "coolest place in Britain" (yellowing newspaper headline above my desk) then moved to West Cork now "the new Dordogne" .. so it made me chuckle to see "London's New Capital of Cool", which turns out to be far end of Hackney Road also lived there aeons ago. Call me Midas please

Woolwich Arsenal station box still sits among wasteland and remains undeveloped after 17 years. Joint partnership from TfL with private developer announced in 2009. Went nowhere. Places for London should be supported to greatly enhance/speed up building pipeline under this govt. Hasn't happened

Burned-out celestial object punches football-sized hole in Koblenz house (vie @piethagoram.bsky.social) This being Germany we are not treated to pictures of the roof in question

Dealing with US President, some age advice this morning

this has to be one for Sylvie Krin, two lonely hearts struggle to find happiness and tax relief against a background of tumult they instigate

Daily Express certain that Bomber Tice has flown out to Dubai to be with Isabel Oakeshott, now his constituents are being told he's concerned for her from a suitable distance. They can't both be right www.lincsonline.co.uk/boston/mp-co...

Home of Porsche and Mercedes-Benz goes Green

England as it is currently constituted came into being in 1st April 1974 when Monmouthshire was unequivocally placed in Wales whereas it had been somewhat ambiguous before (obviously I am going to get letters)

Red Line, suburban services in Lagos and yes it is

Local Authority backs Hereford to Gloucester train line. Truly, the longest shot in the quiver, but good for them, we need 100 of these projects being warmed up for better days ahead www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Lovely story. They don't say so here, but he pre-dates the Irish Free State www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2026...

Wind turbines and a shipwreck, mirage version. These are the same turbines off Skegness but photographed from the western bank of The Wash. Actual unprocessed photo.

Are Green Party too sexy for their shirt?

Women’s Equality Party, back in 2024?

Referendum Party was formally dissolved.

Nigel Farage freshly snubbed snubbed in Florida. Trump, Musk & Co like to promote people even further right than Farage so not a comfort exactly

Standing firefighter at Glasgow Central a statue

Alba Party shuts

Ah, that looks like the chick farm just up the road from me where I believe they hatch eggs to supply chicken fams with chicks. And yes, lots of farms and businesses around here already have solar panels and often small wind turbines too.

The undercover cop revelations are consistently more awful than you guessed, itself quite an achievement. When they started producing babies in open civil society pressure groups, did not a little warning light flicker at the Yard?

The US President lambasting the British PM for turning up late to a war. And still, there are those who say that Americans can’t do irony.

It's all too disgusting for words, presumably Trump wants the Shah back, can't say so because toppling monarchs key part of USA foundation myth

Imagine a rather quiet woman at HMRC noting: 'Oakeshott, Isabel, Place of Tax Domicile, need to keep under review'

Not yet

'We don't have 'em in Dubai'

I did read print Guardian today, still lost in the middle while in *actual news* Alister Heath has been taken over by Axel Springer probably softest landing he could wish

Great excitement as our stylish orange food waste bin has been delivered by @southkesteven.bsky.social

feel a bit like the couple in When The Wind Blows by Raymond Briggs, trying to work out how you can demand unconditional surrender from people you've just attacked and then pledged to kill when they emerge as new leaders, obscene by the way

Tax dodger in Dubai saying they had no idea, obvs not Mike Davis fans

I'm enjoying imagining the 'kipper having a large extended family living in the ward, none of whom voted for him.

UKIP deffo family voting!!!

swap 'em on Hammersmith Bridge, I say

Kicking myself for not getting those solar panels last year
