Today I changed my car insurance to a new company and will save £500 in the next year!

Although widely known as Hampshire, the county’s official administrative and legal name was actually the County of Southampton until 1959. The map of Hampshire by Christopher Saxton was made around 1575; he calls Hampshire ‘Southamtoniae’, a Latinised version of the county name. 4/4

My wife's family are amazing. They organise a family gathering at one of their houses in Hove and then, the day before, realise it's the Brighton marathon today and all the roads will be closed.

After a day out visiting on saturday and people here all day yesterday it's nice to look forward to a day in my comfiest outfit.

A very happy #ChristianistZombieDay to one and all.

I'll tell you what's good about good friday - no need to wear any clothes all day. Definitely a comfortable day.

That's it. I've had enough. I'm giving up naturism and will never been seen naked again.

The southern end of the western stretch of Southampton’s fourteenth century defensive wall.

Welcome to British Summer Time! also welcome to British summer weather. It's like British winter weather but a tad warmer. Warm rain is so much nicer than cold rain.

Wales is about to get its first-ever vegan hotel, Ffarm Hall. The vegan hotel is located in Betws‑Yn‑Rhos, near Abergele, on the north coast of Wales. Ffarm Hall is set to open in May and is now accepting bookings. Read more on the PBN website.

If I don’t pay back the money I owe for spices they’re going to call in the bay leaves.

This disgraceful antisemitic attack is also an attack on the values on which we build our shared society. Emergency workers like ambulance services run towards trouble to offer help. How low to attack that and harm so many future lives too. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

According to my watch GPS I hit 15.2MPH yesterday while refereeing. I'm quite pleased with that, given my advamced years.

Good morning and a happy dress-down Friday to you all.

Removing hereditary peers is a welcome step for our democracy. But truly modernising the House of Lords should also mean ending the automatic voting rights of the 26 Church of England bishops – a privilege dating back to the 14th century. humanists.uk/action/get-b...

Equilux meaning equal light is the day when daylight and darkness are closest to being exactly 12 hours each This year, the Vernal Equilux occurs on the 17th March for UK locations roughly south of Norwich, and on the 18th March for locations generally north of Norwich.

The move to remove hereditary peers is welcome. The next logical step should be to remove the Lords Spiritual. There should be no reserved seats in Parliament for any one religion. It’s time to remove bishops from the House of Lords. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I've been totting up and I think I have about 18 pictures of me naked that were either taken without me knowing or were taken by press photographers. Many of these I found randomly on the internet. Do I care that they're out there? Not a jot. If you go to a public nude event that's what happens.

If you've ever tried swimming naked, you'll never willingly go back to wearing a suit again! #choosenude for swimming #fkk #naturist #nudist #naturism #nudism

For a variety of reasons I'm considering my bucket list. There aren't many things on it, yet.

Cancer can just fuck right off!

You have one guess as to what I'm wearing today. Let's see if you're right..

Michelangelo was born on this day in 1475 in Caprese near Florence, Italy. The painter, sculptor, architect and poet is widely considered to be one of the greatest artists of the Italian Renaissance period.

Why do we call it the defence industry? Surely it should be called the attack industry, or maybe the invasion industry?

I found it on YouTube but it may be other places too...

I've been re-watching Melvyn Bragg's "The Adventure of English", a great history of the English Language. I'm sure that a clip of a mystery play in episode 3 included a very young, probably a student at the time, @drjaninaramirez.bsky.social or did I get that wrong?

Three days without rain. Is there a hosepipe ban yet?

Apparently there is more than one naked man in the New Forest but this one is crying out to used as a photo location: www.walkingbritain.co.uk/walk-3567-de...

Looking south down Southampton High Street.

Today marks the first day of meteorological spring 🌷 March has arrived, and with it comes longer, lighter days. Over the next few weeks most of us will enjoy around two extra hours of daylight ☀️

It's rugby day today. Walking Rugby from 11:30 to 12:30 and then officiating from 2:30 to 4.

It's not sauna culture as I know it, not the "continental" way. There's no way you'll get me in a sauna if I have to wear clothes. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It doesn't matter how you were raised. You're allowed to unlearn eating animals.

For some people getting home and taking your shoes off is a big thing For me it's getting home and taking my clothes off.....

Can I arrange to have 2026 annulled and cancelled please?
