Billie Piper announced as the new BBC Director General but we've got to wait until next Christmas to find out why.

I'm damn tired. Looking for work and worrying about the future, and close family really not well either. Can't really look far ahead right now, which is really rough on the old brain.

EVERTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNN

I ran out of instant coffee today. This has hit me harder than losing my job, tbh.

I bumped this up the list because it's Pooh Bear! What's more important than Winnie The Pooh?!

What ghost would be the best one to haunt Donald Trump into being an actually human being?

Aw. "Wall, what do I do now?" www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Got a drawing app. Drew a creepy bird thing.

Yes, I am writing about the actual places that inspired the stories!

I just got the opportunity to write "Welcome to Pooh Country".

I love my (side-ish) job x

Claire's beloved horse Tango died in terror when holiday-makers set off a firework display at a nearby cottage. Sign her petition to protect animals and vulnerable people from the shock and terror of unexpected explosions. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ba...

Isn’t Beaver Supermoon that woman that Prince William was supposedly having an affair with?

I hope the people in my new job don't wipe their bogeys on the toilet walls.

"THEY BEAT REFORM IN WALES". No. Look at the numbers damn it. One third of the vote went to them, basically from nowhere. That's a warning to be heeded, not a defeat to crow over. Those new reform voters will remember the reaction and likely entrench themselves.

Found a very big, very dead spider in my fridge earlier. No, I did not put it in there. No, I'm not OK.

There's a customer at work with a red "Hh" tattoo on his neck. That means what I think it meanSS, right?

@samwhyte.bsky.social Morning Sam! What's our Hierarchy of Managerial Desperation after Postecoglou and Dyche? Are we seeing Big Sam next, then Bryan Robson in January... or am I old and out of touch? X

Are there many more storied establishments that Trinity College, #Dublin? You can feel the great words flowing out of the old, proud walls; poetry, history, tragedy - a wry smile on ghostly lips. The streets here are thronged with people: students, locals & tourists - a vibrant, exciting place. 1/

Pete Hegseth conducted a live fire exercise over I-5 as part of a made-for-Fox stunt for him and Vance which had a misfire that struck a Highway Patrol vehicle and could have killed people? Who could have foreseen this?

We’re at university this week! Most will know a friend or family member who spent years learning to do various things at Uni – budgeting, drinking, ‘chemistry’, personal skills, even academically! – or you may have done so! For the next week we’re on Memor(ising lots of information)y Lane... 1/

There are unfair negative stereotypes about #Birmingham. The truth? It's one of the best cities on in the UK for lovers of architecture – complete squares of the finest 18th & 19th C buildings, gorgeous frontages, streets & boldly beautiful modern vitas.

I think someone is bullying me at work. A lot of people tell me I am being bullied. I'm fairly sure I know who is behind it all. I think I'll be leaving soon, but I don't think I can tell my friends, because if the bully finds out, they'll try to sabotage it. Life is a bit rough sometimes.

@grahamward.bsky.social Happy Birthday mate, thank you for being you. I hope you have a lovely day! X
