Glad of the rain tonight as it put a stop to the latest installment of Firework Month around here

I can see my mum’s TV from up here.

I enjoyed Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein. I mean, it was a bit silly but watchable.

Do not bother Walter when he has his sleep mask on. 💤

After a week of rain in Vermont, our ducks are showing the fine art of dabbling in mud. This is a natural foraging behavior where the ducks sift through mud with their bills finding worms and insects while letting the inedible stuff fall away.

Things are balls at the moment aren’t they so I’m reposting animals being great vids.

There is nothing like a freshly made bed. Huey and Louie show off their amazing skills. Such good boys

It's a good day for a pumpkin feast

Right then. It's mid-November and if you're thinking about #Christmas shopping, now's the time. All my products are designed here in Manchester and made in the UK. Shop's open gailmyerscough.co.uk

Two weeks old how better to celebrate Mo-day than with our cute baby Muscovy ducklings

😶🔫 Today.

He doesn’t give a toss about some documentary. It’s just another diversion. #ReleaseTheFiles

Terrific person and makes brilliant things 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

"Don't look at me, I'm irrelevant." 'The Young Ones' made their BBC2 debut on this day in 1982.

I have a friend over for an evening *’hang’. The absurd amount of tidying up and cleaning I had to do before they arrived was entirely pointless as they haven’t noticed. *I believe this is a modern description for sitting around and chatting, m’lud.

The story of my life, ladies and gentlemen.

Absolutely wrong. #FakeCheeseNews

Yes churn out millions of human nodes but make sure they can’t write, paint, play or write music or act or design or dance or direct because what use are they?

As a person who sometimes has The Bad Thoughts, reading that story about ChatGPT's involvement in somebody ending their life makes me incandescent with rage. A trillion dollars invested in a Mechanical Turk that supplies the razors. May their creators never know a moment's peace.

It’s already here and it’s called the privatised social care system.

I can relate. I suggested a good idea on Monday and today a male colleague was complimented for thinking of it. I set them straight. Ok it’s not quite on the same scale. In fact it doesn’t compare at all. Or even come close to this. I just wanted to kvetch.

In American films characters call other characters by their college name ‘Hey, Harvard’ or their home town/city/suburb ‘Hey Brooklyn’. Just wouldn’t work in the UK: ‘Hey, Redditch’ ‘Hey, East Anglia Poly’

@sodslawyer.bsky.social dis arr boat

unless Kemi Badenoch says ‘yes over 14 years my party enshittified the country and installed structural decay’ there is no reason to ever quote her in response to anything

Richard Strauss doesn’t believe your ‘and everyone clapped’ Fesshole post.

Busy weekend ahead on social media, criticising the appearance of celebrities I don’t like and pointing out how they’ve aged.

Just had my first chippy tea in months. I can’t move.

I am never going to post anything ever again about any plans I have about anything lest I be lectured by Bluesky. #FFS

All the class of a rat with a gold tooth.

No need to tell me what kind of dog to get, where to get one from, how many to get etc etc. I had two dogs for 14 years. Please assume I know what I’m doing, Bluesky. #FFS.

I DO NOT. Well, not anymore.

BECAUSE IT’S A COMPUTER PROGRAMME. Next question.

🍿

Explain a film plot badly: Load of old nonsense set in space.

Always amazed by people who have watch parties for their favourite TV shows. If I was ever forced to attend one, it would be remembered for me shouting ‘CAN EVERYONE SHUT THE FUCK UP PLEASE?’

Bluesky’s really fun, I think you’d like it.

The whole "OMG a prisoner has been mistakenly released" thing is such shit. No one gave a toss till it was an asylum seeker released.Last year, 262 prisoners - five a week - were released from prisons/courts before they should have been. Zero front-page reporting. www.theguardian.com/society/2...

Ok I’ve done 4 months without a dog and the only benefit has been able to stay late at work which is not a benefit. It’s time to get a dog.

Not telling patients what time a phone line is open is a very odd way to run a theatre scheduling dept, especially when they call you and ask you to call back ‘right away’, which turns out to 11am the next day.

I’ve just seen a narrowboat that looks like it’s entirely crewed by cats, and it’s not even 10am

Armchair once belonging to Amy Winehouse. I'd like to start the bidding at 100 million pounds.

Ok. Now everything makes sense.

No.

Every year we get closer to this happening on the news

welcome to Yamaha. do you want a piano or a motorcycle?

Getting ready for the fuckwit who sets fireworks off at midnight
