Found Farridge’s pied à terre

The Pale Rider renamed the Rambling Man

Still going strong ! #yarden of delights #gardenshour #bloomscrolling

We don't have Tylenol in the UK. Does Tylenol have a late night chat show?

You pop on here and the sea of nonsense and worse is still swilling around, every other story is an assault on reason and truth.

Working on a Christmas stamper to distract the eye from the ugly barcode on our definitive postage stamps… 😂👀🎄👑💌

Back in my home town, someone has lost their chub roll and custard. 6 shares so far.

A poem about Dickie Bird by Ian McMillan which he read out on BBC Radio Sheffield earlier today: It's the final over Of the final test And Time is bowling The final ball; And the innings that stretched To 92 Will end just here 'Cos it's umpire's call.

I am saddened to hear about the death of Dickie Bird, one of the country’s finest and most celebrated cricket umpires. A proud Yorkshireman as well as a great cricketer and role model for the sport - I offer my condolences to his friends and family.

Needed a boost at the end of day

God bless Dickie , the most famous person from our village , he used to attend my Dad's church and sit at the back complaining about the choice of hymns (not an uncommon thing for a Methodist ) . But he seemed a good soul. His statue in town is always amusing . Love to his family and friends

That Betty Page gets around a bit bsky.app/profile/garg...

When I logged in first thing my fellow early risers were fulminating about Reforms latest hatebait policy. Shortly after that some folk started to complain about the excessive coverage of Reform in the media. I log on this evening and people are still discussing them. I can see a pattern here.

I got a 2-disc special edition of Ratatouille the other day for 20p. It's ridiculously full of genuinely interesting extra features including an interview with Thomas Keller and one of Pixar's featurettes.

Guarantee you open the bag and it bangs like the pub bogs on Stephens day.

I think also Yorkshire needs some serious long term planning and a overhaul etc of Yorkshire water as we're heading towards permanent rolling shortages , shit filled rivers etc

Ha good work customer service please send emotional support Rosé

Love the thread of "perfect films" haven't your years on social media taught you that someone will find a fault in EVERYTHING

My favourite shop in Bexhill.

My book Illustrating The Lord of the Rings in the Soviet Bloc is released into the wild today! Here's a quick peek at a few more pages, artwork here by Győző Vida, Yassen Panov, Alexander Korotich and Sergei Iukhimov #Tolkien www.bloomsbury.com/uk/illustrat...

@mjmckean.bsky.social we really enjoyed Spinal Tap II the other night , thank you, Christopher , Harry and everyone else for these wonderful films.

Visited The Lamb in Lambs Conduit Street, today. Probably not been there since I worked in Holborn, many years ago. Glad to say it's much the same, including the snob screens (I think they're called)

It's too late.

Is it even a British film, if it's not filmed in the colonnade at the Greenwich Naval College. ... "An Ideal Husband" 1999

Basically my Yarden in today's sunshine

I've made soup and coronation chicken (these two events are related ) and for the folks in the balcony, I've also stewed my plums .

"yeah , well actually I'm mainly still on Stormfront for the passionate debates with fascist botposts , the torrent of horrible racist memes oh and they have really good word puzzles, that let you swear"

You know how after a few series shows do a musical edition or flashback etc how about and bear with me on this " A Month in This Country" . The vicar finds a wall painting in the church a Iraq vet/ expert arrives from that London ends up having a whistful relationship with Kerry in the food bank..

Watching all this comedy, why aren't all funnier ?...

What's effectively happening here (in the British media at large, too) is the construction of "anti-racism" as somehow a "political alternative" to racism, rather than as a minimal civilisational standard, which in turn (further) vindicates racism as *also* an acceptable political position.

Reckon that works out to over 71 million berries. Fair whack.

Found out yesterday that Beefeater buy 50 tonnes of juniper berries every year for gin. The jars in the shop are 28g and hold 40(?) berries, can you imagine how many berries there are in 50 tonnes!

I think Geese have already out stayed their welcome #TheRadio

New graffiti in Norwich. Not quite sure what Ross Kemp did to deserve that.

The sun's come out, if that helps

I know this is partly inspired by the recent films but the King Kong story is oddly persistent in the collective imagination. And yes hell knows how this travelling show navigates the whole colonial , orientalism , racism thing. I imagine the giant model of Kong will be pleasing daft & fun though.

Love the bit of Norfolk right at the top where you get views west to see sunsets like this , I saw a stork for the first time at cley too

Watching "Aliens", Ripley has been adrift in space for an unimaginable 57 years .."Alien" was released 39 years ago ...

Such a shame it seems to have been stuck in rights issues etc for years would be great to have some retro music TV with 0% chance of Shakey popping up .

Sloe food ...

PG Wodehouse on BBC Sounds - these Richard Briars/Michael Horden Jeeves and Wooster adaptations are absolutely delightful.

I wish to report a gincident... Ain't no business like sloe business... Been a good year (aka a mast year) for sloes and lots of other fruits and nuts. The hot dry weather helps. No great secret to sloe gin just leaving it to steep for a year plus. 🍸 #autumn #foraging #boozesky

Optimo (Espacio)’s JD Twitch has died. RIP to an all-time great of UK dance music 🖤

I don't know, having easy access to the content of all the books I've read/owned would be useful & interesting. What you then do with the information, ideas, insights is the "thinking" part. But hey that doesn't get you the clicks. We probably need a more nuisanced approach to information systems.

We know just what to give that guy for #BatmanDay.... TWENTY YEARS IN THE ISO CUBES

Went to Poundland as usual they had not quite the thing I wanted , made slightly worse in the wrong size ..I miss Wilkos

Well I have a super 8 projector and copies of " the Guns of Navarone" "The Professionals*" and Laurel and Hardy and Chaplin shorts * The western
