Took a sixth form group invertebrate sampling on the River Meon last November. Drove past earlier and I reckon the river is currently about a metre deeper. Won’t be going again for a while..

Gran Prix.

Literally this

He’s a writer and a journalist in the same way he’s a woman. In his own mind. What a twat Euan Is. He gets angry when this is pointed out to him. Truth is a harsh mistress.

“AT LAST, SIR TERRY, WE MUST WALK TOGETHER. Terry took Death’s arm and followed him through the doors and on to the black desert under the endless night. THE END” We still miss him and his work so much but he left us so much to enjoy. Such a legacy, such a man.

The press don’t need to make stuff up about the Gap-Toothed Tit Whisperer to make him look ridiculous - he’s perfectly capable of doing that himself with his grasp of economic policy.

Did pasties for dinner. I add grated garlic and chopped parsley to my filling mix - totally inauthentic and would horrify a Cornishman like @drpaulitious.bsky.social but bloody hell it makes them taste nice.

Greed for money, fame, power, significance, everything.

Oh this will be bloody great.

2 of my favourites, @neilkbrand.bsky.social and @kermodemovie.bsky.social on the same podcast. Can’t wait to listen.

Alphaville made some great records. Unfortunately, this isn’t one of them.

I vividly remember the first time I heard this listening to the Top 20 on the Sunday of one of the May Bank Holidays in 1978. One of an absolute slew of timelessly brilliant singles that were in the charts then.

Once it became clear that the school was next door to an IRGC base that had been targeted - and was on land once part of the base - this was always the likeliest explanation. It raises considerable questions about the US military's 'data-driven' target selection. Done by AI? By humans?

Christ. The prices. They were worth nicking if you were a burglar. These days I suppose it’s phone snatching that supports a skag habit.

I'm sure it's just a massive coincidence that they used all the same words, ideas and punctuation.

What a load of tripe.

Oh Yeah

Quality item. Yet another reason why 1978 was the best year the singles charts ever saw.

@stevenc63.bsky.social You read this Christopher Snowdon piece from a couple of years ago? quillette.com/2022/06/18/m...

Indeed. That such a bunch of economically and scientifically ignorant ideological weirdos can persuade people that they’re worthy of being elected says much.

Silly of me but I can't resist; actually they are, same as white people

Wonder which Newcastle player is selling it?

Blimey. Saints getting into their stride again. Obviously I will be polite and not make mention of this to @andymack.bsky.social

Mum and dad both grammar school kids but neither went to uni. I was the first in the family to do so. Now a late middle-aged very middle-class cliché with every box ticked.

Anything on here regarding the Good Laugh Society’s latest knock back and subsequent inevitable grifting?

Photoshop job, unfortunately.

That’s right, folks. The halfwit gap-toothed tit-whisperer thinks it’s OK for a bunch of loons from a proscribed organisation to break into private premises and use a sledgehammer to assault a police officer. We know he’s an ideological imbecile; it’s that he seems to be so happy to demonstrate it.

Back in stock!

I am hearing that RFK Jr.’s minions are going to go after HPV vaccines. I’ve got problems with these people and now you’re going to hear about them, first from a personal perspective and then from a professional one. It all boils down to this: WE HAVE A SAFE VACCINE THAT PREVENTS CANCER.

Been repairing things with this today. Astoundingly good stuff - polymerise it in seconds with a UV torch, wipe off the air-inhibition layer with some meths and job’s a good ‘un. Sticks like shit on a blanket, flexible, does perished rubber and neoprene. I’ll probably find more uses for it.

TCP actually stands for the stuff’s active ingredient - trichlorophenylmethyliodosalicyl.

North London will be lively this evening with all the Man U fans celebrating as they take the walk or tube home from the Emirates.
