Pick a Bond from the photos you already have in your phone.

Starmer is a lawyer. He knows how to understand a brief, and construct an argument that he can defend. If he can do that in a court, how come he can't do it in Parliament? I know the briefs are bigger and more complex, but he just doesn't seem able to convince anyone on almost anything.

Watching the snooker, and it suddenly struck me that it could be made much more of a challenge by moving the colours. Put the high value balls on the baulk line, and the low scoring ones nearer the reds...

Back over at the other place, some time ago there was a mention of tabletop wargaming, using Gundam-style mechs built out of Lego. I've lost the link, does anyone know it, please?

Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, DC, Marvel, Disney, Pixar, Spielberg, Cameron, Wachowskis, or Ghibli

Definitely more classics out on #DriveItDay than on a regular Sunday. Highlights include a Bristol 411 and Mk2 XR2.

@radiokate.com Surely you're in on this?!

Quote with an old film you've watched more than 20 times (Old is subjective).

If you see this, quote with a picture of you wearing glasses

I am genuinely scared right now. The Cold War seemed like a distant threat but this is all too real.

'Glory Box' by Portishead. I was in Asda, and it was unlike anything I'd ever heard before (and my taste was already very eclectic). It was as simple as asking the lady behind the counter what it was, but I knew I *had* to buy it there and then.

An innings and 137 runs? In Round 1? Away? Very impressed with @essexcricket.bsky.social!

Can anyone recommend a good tutorial video on painting model figures? I bought one online ready-painted, but tbh it leaves a lot to be desired...

New pin badge for the work lanyard.

If you live on your own, especially if you don't have friends or family nearby, do you ever worry about how you would let people know if something had happened to you? I wonder if there's some sort of 'buddy check-in' app...

That can't be comfortable... #ProofOfCat

@archivetvmusings.bsky.social Hi, I've been searching for some info on #Callan, and your blog came up. I've been trying to find a scene that I remember from TV and it's been suggested that it could be a 'Callan' episode.

Is there anyone especially knowledgeable on '70s UK spy drama #Callan? I've been trying to track down a scene I remember from years ago, and it's been suggested it could be from 'Callan'.

Jump Around by House Of Pain. It's got a horrible screechy sample all the way through that sets my teeth on edge. Never were a band so aptly named...

So let me get this straight. lran's military is 100% destroyed by the USA, but the USA needs our help to get ships through the Strait Of Hormuz, even though the war is already won?

Me in another decade. I think it's very early 80s, but could be the end of the 70s. Napoleon Dynamite before Napoleon Dynamite...

My Bacon number is 2.

One was a blacksmith, if you ever go to St. Mary's Church in Walthamstow, he made all the railings and gates that are still there. The other, who I never met, was a chauffeur and coach driver.

New project! A tarpaulin, some cable ties, hooks, and bungees, and a couple of hours work, and Marie is protected from the rain!

Is there a better sight to see over your breakfast, than Matt Goodwin with a face like a smacked arse?

Well, isn't this fantastic news to wake up to!

When your car gets complimented...by a man in a Ferrari

Phrases recently used at work, that sound like they should have done a Peel Session: Duplicate Northerns The Upminster Slot The Royston Terminators The Ambergate Block The Woolmer Green Exception

@petepaphides.bsky.social Hi Pete, a discussion at work prompts this question. Do you know of any good compilations of pub rock, and also of any good books on the same?

I won £80 on the lottery. Now I can buy a tarpaulin so my car doesn't get wet.

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work. "Is it compliant?"

Introduce yourself with 5 songs Goldrush - Yello Shipbuilding - June Tabor (although there are no bad versions) Glory Box - Portishead Weapons Destruction - Warm Digits Pull Shapes - The Pipettes

'The Man Who Sailed Around His Soul' from XTC.

Most underrated guitarist? I'm nominating Andy Cox, from The Beat and Fine Young Cannibals. Just sublime.

What town centres need is somewhere where you can pop in and have a nap for twenty minutes.

Every. Fucking. Time. #WHUFC

According to Wiki, 'Car 67' was the Queen Mum's favourite pop song?!

Fuhrage says that if Ref**m are to form the next Government, they need people with experience. I get that. But Nige, you're telling us the country is broken...these are the people that broke it! Why would you employ the arsonist to rebuild your house?

Any news on that 'major Labour figure' that was going to defect to Reform a few days after Jenrick? No? What a surprise...

Noem is a liar. Bovino is a liar. Miller is a liar. Vance is a liar. I can't say, in this particular instance, that Trump is a liar, because, as far as I know, he hasn't actually said anything about it.

Next question. Why aren't Dems shouting and screaming at every opportunity about what he's doing?

What are the best explainers on why Trump isn't being reined in, and what could be done about it?

The man is clearly unhinged.

One of my oldest friends has gone missing in Thailand. Sharing this on all platforms and would appreciate any reposts

New ink, inspired by Yello.

Badenoch unusually makes a clever move by booting out Jenrick before his possible defection, thus taking the sting out of it and possibly derailing it completely. Then completely undoes that by handing his job to the walking disaster area that is Nick Timothy.
