10 years ago, the Uk voted in the EU referendum to leave the EU. The next morning, this is what happened to the exchange rate between the pound and the dollar. A picture speaks a thousand words, (more breakdown in alt. text, which is also what i wrote ten years ago)

Q:How do Rail Enthusiasts contact you on the internet? A:They DMU !

its pride month ; as someone who has had relationships / dated people are women , men and trans , I support pride. As someone who is sex-avoidant / ace, I am in the below Your body, your choice. No one else gets to overrule your decisions about your body when it comes to sexuality or identity.

What i'd give to talk to my dad one more time. We always think we have another tomorrow, and one day there is no more time. I'm waiting for a phonecall that will never come. A letter that will never arrive. A "hello" I'll never hear. Sorry, I'm grieving here.

I found out my father died this morning via a facebook message from a third party (someone I've not seen in years) at 15:36, saying "Condolences on the death of your father I know you weren’t close but it still comes as a shock hope your ok xx" Difficult few months ahead. Back to radio silence.

UPDATE : In the past 47 days I have posted up two new posts (about new train station openings that I visited and made the first train on in both directions) ; and only because of that. I've made a deliberate , wilful decision to step away from social media & focus elsewhere indefinitely.

4m37s in www.youtube.com/watch?v=Izs8... Turns out I was interviewed by ITV news yesterday for the telly. I had no idea until now it even made the cut.

Apparently I make a cameo appearance in this (I haven't watched this yet), as pointed out by others. In real life Jen is just the same as they are on video, but even lovelier. Plus, their signature fringe is 100% awesome. Normal radio silence will now resume

And its goodnight from me

Ouch. personal attack much?

The Jetsons lied to us

I've been far too verbose on here with my unfiltered babbling. I might try to tone it down a bit and get less distracted by the internet x

Thinking about the latest Caelan Conrad video wher Caelan describes some of JKR's work as "Fan fiction about herself" which is a very strong statement - but fascinating because many people write fan fiction about themselves. Where they create their public identity as not necessarily a representation

nteresting politics news ; The district which contains mar-a-lago voted +11% for trump in 2024. Tonight it flipped to the democrats. they won by 2.2%. which is a 14% flip.

A truly magnificent sight (slightly ruined by Windsor Castle). #WorldBollardAssociation

www.amazon.co.uk/Business-Sec... Good lord. it's REAL. No, it really is.

did you hear about the author who wrote a book about having sex with traffic restricting street furniture? J.G. BOLLARD!

I think it’s a cry for help. Has anyone checked in?

"Hello? is that Mrs. Sandra Rahm? We are lawyers calling on the behalf of J.G. Ballard...."

And thus, the nickname MattGPT was born

Is it worth calling it ICE Guys Finish Last

When asked what the medical reasons were, Shirley replied - "Diseases are Forever, they are all I need to decease me"

Really? They've clearly never been in the toilet of a National Express coach then

If it has more sides it’s definitely one of ours

Oh heavens. What's next?

When I say I'm going to bed but my phone is still in arm's reach

Yes, it is clearly obvious to all columnists that all working-class voters meet together to decide as one hive mind, in one single block, 14980 at a time. What absolute balderdash.

Wait, who is that with the odd hair and no baseball cap in the bottom right? I can't tell if its the host or the guest, but i sure know which bigoted unbeloved internet nobody / twitter user it reminds me of.

I'm listening to Whitesnake's Greatest Hits. Or as it's otherwise known "1987".

uk.style.yahoo.com/m-polyamorou... CW: sexual abuse This is an insightful and intelligent piece - I've known people twice her age without this level of insight.

i see rumours about the new Spielberg - "Disclosure Day"- being a sequel to Close Encounters. I doubt it personally. its a legacy sequel to E.T. Surely?

Long time ago I learned the world won't do what you want it to do - whether other people hurt you or not isn't up to you. The only thing that is is whether you decide to deal with the pain responses or not. In that sense, getting angry at someone else because of your own self-neglect ....

My hovercraft, impounded at customs.

The truth is, he's not a negoitatior. He's a self-eulogizing builder of mythology around himself. He uses the story of his "deals" to build the narrative of how successful he is to others. Always has been.

This was the same with the National Grid, where it must never fail and it is therefore more expensive to build, operate and maintain because duplication is necessarily built in. Anyone who ‘streamlines’ or underfunds a safety-critical operation is, by implication, guilty of any consequent death.

Laughter on TV/radio (unless it’s a 1960s Top Cat cartoon) is not made by a can, or a machine. It’s made by other human beings enjoying themselves. Just because you can’t imagine that sound, and have trouble understanding people other than you have different tastes, doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen.

We all mature, change and amend our views with time, experience, and new information, right? But Never choose intransigence and pretend to yourself that it is is the same as integrity. Inflexibility isn't integrity. It is difficult to live in peace, when another party chooses that.

Goodnight. sleep well. Peace is the way. x

I can't help but worry that maybe me advocating for what i found personally helpful in terms of of my own emotional life - ir self help techniques, self-guided therapy, using techniques of emotional regulation , and changing the relationship I have with my own past on an emotional level....

Worrisome news, if it is turns out to be accurate.

This is the same uranium that iran volunteered to give up in exchange for security guarantees , through the use of diplomacy is it? but Trump is such a MASTER NEGOITIATOR he walked away from the table to get it that way and instead sends hundreds of troops in get killed to do it instead?

"But a complex, more nuanced way, the United Federation of Planets WERE the bad guys all along. They stopped the benevolent wealth creators from providing for others via profit & employing them by removing the very concept of monetary supply,removing inequality of material need & distribution..."

Dune: THE MUSICAL, anyone?
