Billy Bragg just asks a few questions about the private company masquerading as a political party that likes to "just ask questions". [Sorry if you need a Farcebook account to view] @jemmaforte.bsky.social @marina-purkiss.bsky.social @supertanskiiii.bsky.social www.facebook.com/100044350033...

#BritishPodcastAwards www.britishpodcastawards.com/voting I've voted for @jemmaforte.bsky.social and @marinapurkiss.bsky.social , creators/presenters of their ace podcast, The Trawl Get it wherever pods are cast. Although not the Prodigal Son parable - no swine needed My choice - @antennapod.org

I just backed ZX Spectrum Next Issue 3 on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/spe... Now, since I have in the past worked with some of those involved in one way or another (on the Sinclair QL side of things), it'll be interesting to get this running some of my own software releases on it!

It's not a truck, but I'm filing this in the same series... 1969 Plymouth GTX, 7.2L V8, first imported here in the UK in 2016, last sold on in 2020. Easily beats the modern Mustangs/Challengers see here. I *think* it managed the 50yds to the end of the road on the first gallon, but I'm not sure.

Good old Karoline "Leave it!"...

@kheyar3.bsky.social In other news from Iowa...

Well, would you look at that - someone went and put a Tree in the Road... However, I can confidently say that Project Bus rocks! And rolls, especially with a trailer hooked up. #CruisingIowa in #AmericanTruckSimulator @scssoft.com @kheyar3.bsky.social @mohskinner.bsky.social

In another entry in the infrequent "Trucks seen at our warehouse" series, here's a cool MAN TGX 6x2 mid-lift, with just the right number plate delivering heavy workshop tools to our next door neighbour ...

Turning it up to 11 has consequences in later life...

Serendipitous - someone donated this to my company's charity shop side of things. My wife spotted it when unpacking/sorting stuff. It's one of my better birthday pressies today! Genuine @volvotrucks.bsky.social merch, usually unobtainium in the UK! @kheyar3.bsky.social @mohskinner.bsky.social

Spotted near Grindon, Stockton-on-Tees, screwed to a dead tree trunk. Interesting campaigning... "Vote Forage!" "Make Borage Great Again" "Free Mushrooms!" "Stop the Goats!" How many planks could we get from that log? @supertanskiiii.bsky.social @jemmaforte.bsky.social @marina-purkiss.bsky.social

No one will notice this post.

How the heck did I throw my back just putting a pen back into a pen holder?! Oh, yeah, I've been chipping away at the second half of a century for a few years now...

I tried sh*tposting once, but wasn't good at it. (Sh*t)^2-posting.

There's a tree by my driveway, and it drips sap onto my car. Early Friday morning, a bird dropped an egg on the roof. At work that day, a bag of self-raising flour burst and dusted the car park. No cakes appeared. What's missing? EDIT: no butter, that's the reason! RE-EDIT: Nope. Still no cake.

Going to go out on a limb here, but is "Allen Carr's* Easy Way to Quit Smoking" basically this: "Quit smoking, or the only thing you will see on Netflix and Prime will be Alan Carr* shows... (Updated: now includes Apple TV)" *yes, I know.

Sees a picture of a certain space telescope, pointing a something. Brain: "Here's Euclid looking at ... ?" Me: "Shut up, brain, you just ruined the Casablanca joke..."

I still have a Xitter account (web only, no {cr}app). It defaults to my profile cos just a few minutes scrolling gives me the irrits in a major way. Except I now miss stuff from Japanese friends who only have Xitter accounts, so I catch up on the feeds, only to get the irrits again. IRRITS!! 👊😠

No cheating. Your last saved celebrity pic is your therapist. I believe I have all possible forms of treatment covered with this lot...

Boss: We're getting new carpets for some rooms. Me: Great! What's the budget for finally covering the bare concrete section in the break room? Boss: Me: Boss: Here are the offcuts. Me: Can we at least have underlay? Boss: Me: I'll get started. ===== "Almost Invisible Repairs" now a thing.

We all love small electric cars, right? In cities, especially Europe & Asia where we have streets an F150 would block wall-to-wall... Here's a startup from Hiroshima, Japan, which just announced what looks like an Optimised Citroën Ami: kg-m.jp/mibot/ @fullychargedshow.bsky.social

Ah, an early night, catching up on lost sleep. At this rate, I'll have the 80's all caught up in a couple of years - looking forward to starting catching up on the 90's "Blur vs Oasis" Britpop years by maybe 2028, maybe 2030. 🎸🤘

youtu.be/su99N5G_XHY A great vid from elliotev.bsky.social If this came to the UK, I may break that "My next car will be an Aptera" rule... Still, even if a UK Aptera arrives, I'm unlikely to ever meet Elliot at the lights in it for a race-off with his SC01, though we did mention it a while ago...

@jemmaforte.bsky.social @marina-purkiss.bsky.social @thetrawl.bsky.social Have just listened to the Tesla $120 share price bit... Be great karma if the banks forclosed, took the company, then reregistered the company as Danish and transferred the head office to Nuuk, Greenland...😁

Some vital mods for @scssoft.com #AmericanTruckSimulator for the Illinois DLC: - Carrie Fisher as co-driver, preferably without M16, M9-7 or M202 in hand - Truck painted like an old Mount Prospect police car, & trailer with image of Car 55 crashed into it - IL BDR529 state plates needed... 🕶️🎙️🕶️
