What lying fucks they all are.

Would whoever put this together please take a bow? 👏👏👏👏

Death toll in Afghanistan when NATO answered the US’s call: - 453 Britons - 158 Canadians - 89 French - 59 Germans - 53 Italians - 44 Danes - 17 Spaniards “Stayed a little back, off the front lines “! No one in the media will call him out over this lie or any of the others he spouts.

Some fun facts. ● 100% of Reform MPs ARE EX-TORY party members ● 57.14% of Reform MPs ARE former Tory MPs ● Feel free to add your own

Absolutely loving this from the legendary @wefail.bsky.social just need to decide where to hang it.

I've got two of my very limited Bowie/Mr Benn A3 Giclee prints on fancy art paper back in stock. Each one has secret, unique details! £50 plus p&p if you want one.

How do you beat jet lag? Oh I dunno, but this at 55% should help!

Back down to earth we come, getting No2 son up for school and making his packed lunch. What an amazing trip that was though, almost feels like it was a dream. Anyone thinking of going, do, Japan is a wonderful place and full of amazing surprises if have time to look beyond the usual tourist cities.

Last day in Japan before the 15 hour return flight tomorrow morning… Lovely morning walk though and a little brunch.

A rare sighting of Dr Yellow at Tokyo station today, if you know, you know!

Ryokan update, view amazing, food amazing, hot spring on balcony amazing, need one at home!! Treated to an incredible moonrise too! Yes, that’s actually the moon just after the sun had set.

En route to Atami for a night in a Ryokan, Mt Fuji looking stunning once again. Have been very fortunate with the weather so far!

Paid a visit to Kamakura yesterday, quite beautiful.

Took a wee trip up Tokyo tower today, figured I should do at least one of the ‘up high’ places. Was pretty cool, although didn’t go right up to the top, wait was too long.

When you have to buy a suitcase to accommodate No 1 son’s, his cousin and his friends figure requests… The other side will be filled with No 2 sons request for sweets… Yes folks, half way round the world and he wants sweets brought back…

Happy New Year you beautiful people on here. I’m in my hotel room with a couple of cold beers and TV that I do not understand but am strangely transfixed by! Can’t be dealing with outdoor celebratory shenanigans. Here’s hoping for a better year ahead for one and all.

I could eat this all night….

Fuji being a bit picture perfect en-route to Tokyo.

I know, it’s only 10am, but you kinda have to when riding the bullet train don’t you?

Last night in Hiroshima, a city that before I had visited just had ‘that’ piece of history. There is so much more to it. Visit it if you can.

Been looking forward to today’s trip from Hiroshima to Miyajima, the home of the famous floating Torii gate. Tide was out when I got there but back in when I returned later on. Lots of folk there already despite it being 8:30am.

So, free whisky and ginger ale in the hotel lounge (no, it’s not a single malt), why not? Warm the cockles before likely having to queue for ages for a bit of Yatai street stall action. Been a bit nippy today!

Diving into sushi for the first time since a fateful night at Yo! Sushi many, many moons ago. So far so good, although for reasons unknown to me we are being treated to the quite awful strain of Land of Hope and Glory… 🤔

Nothing says merry Christmas like a giant reclining bronze Buddha… It doesn’t, really, but was quite the sight and I have never smelled air fresher than I did up there. Oh, and yes, Merry Christmas!!

When in Fukuoka, it would have been rude not to!!

And now it’s time for the less glamorous side of the holiday…

It’s a journey of discovery, Japanese pickles with beer… Sooo good!! It’s only 4pm, which could be an issue…
