Finally managed to trick the Merlin Bird Identification app in to thinking I’m a dove 😂 #dove #collareddove #birdcall

What a fucking tune 🎵 #dd2tidf #ddttiof

The new #Muse song is… something “What is this Tim Burton intro?” “Oh, here we go. Classic Muse synth.” “Oh, that’s a riff…” “Oh shit, THAT’S a rif- what in the Evanescence-Linkin Park-Trivium-early 2000s is this chorus?” “OH SHIT NOW WE’RE RIFFING” A wild ride from start to finish. #Unraveling

I’m now one of those people who asks #ChatGPT for information & answers because Google & DuckDuckGo results are completely useless now. I spent ages trying to the name of a specific beer bottle shape and only ChatGPT got it right. Google threw up a load of ads for Beer52 & DDG had nothing.

I’d rather gouge my eyes out with a blunt tree branch. Are you ok @themirror.com ???

Boomers keep saying “we need a good war” despite never having lived through one or fought in one.

unlike Vietnam or Afghanistan at least the Marines coming to.L.A. know exactly what this fight is all about

Quick reminder to everyone that Nigel Farage is a charlatan and grifter.

Butter wouldn’t melt… …because it been on fire in the depths of hell 🔥

I now believe that some of my problems in later life are due to food dye in the heroin I was consuming for 20 years. by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

Immediately afterwards, the @telegraphnews.bsky.social reported that “net zero” was the issue in Spain & Portugal on Monday. Net zero (or “renewables”, if you’re not a gammon) actually saved the day: www.euronews.com/green/2025/0... In summary: fuck the Torygraph #poweroutage #spain #portugal

Sure is a “coincidence”…… We landed about an hour before all the power went out in Portugal. It’s all back on now but this is just too convenient 😂 #iberianpoweroutage #portugal #spain #israel

“Why don’t people tip for food delivery any more?” Because it used to be £20 to feed two people. £5 tip to the driver was fine. Now it’s £40 + delivery for food that’s worse. That’s why.

Time for some Jaily Waily

Even with the £3 bus fares, it’ll cost £12 for two of us to take a 15 minute bus to town and back. It’s going to cost £3 to park all day in the centre. Madness.

Southern Water taking the absolute piss as always

Nation Could Have Sworn Russell Brand Was Already Convicted Sex Offender

I’ve never understood this nonsense unless you’re actively avoiding paying tax. It costs about 1.5% to bank cash It costs about 1.2% to take a card payment (Both these number are averages based on what I’ve seen myself and from working in small businesses) Be better. #taxavoidance #cashsucks

Today’s task was to replace some outside lights that were literally rusted to the wall. “Made in GDR” - East German iron works! Madness, but makes sense as this extension was done in the mid-late 80s. I’d keep them if they weren’t so rusted and fucked. #GDR #eastgerman #eastgermany #madeinGDR

Oh no… #coneofshame #dogsofbluesky #rescuedogsofbkuesky

Optimistic car…

Anyways...

If you put lactose in a beer that isn’t a Milkshake IPA or Milk Stout, you’re a lazy brewer who has a shit product that has to be fixed with an exclusionary shortcut. Be better, do better, brew better. #beer #brewery #brewer #lactose #veganbeer #shitbeer

Far superior to modern #Guinness. #MurphysIrishStout reminds of when Guinness was good.

One year since closing down by Google Workspace account, Google have finally actually closed it after emailing me every week for a year to say "URGENT ACTION NEEDED" and me taking the "URGENT ACTION" confirming that I want it closed down. One year. What the fuck.

I got rid of my personal Instagram about five weeks ago. I still have one for work but I don’t use the “explore” page nor do I let it send me targeted ads. It is confused as fuck and throws up some mad sponsored posts but this… …this is something else, man. What the fuck.

Moving to a village and hoping the one pub is good…… ……yes it is 😮‍💨

If it’s broon Get it doon #newcastlebrown #newkiebrown

The council came to replace loads of drainage and sewerage pipes on my street today. Two hours in, horrendous smell of gas. SGN have now been here for six hours to fix the gas leak caused by two clowns with their digger. What a time to be alive.

AO.com ringing me at 8am on a Saturday morning, leaving a message saying “I’m so sorry I’ve I’ve called you at a bad time”… …it’s ALWAYS a bad time to call when the who conversation has been by email.

UK trades are fucking wild. Look at these mad quotes to dig out a lawn and put a gravel driveway in. It’s all for the same gravel, same size, same outcome. #tradies #trady #builders #ukbuilders

Morning mood. #resist #resistance

Winter boiler nonsense means the £1000-per-minute halogen heaters are out 🤦🏻‍♂️

#boycottAmazon Haven't bought anything from #amazon #target #walmart in a month. Plan to continue this trend for as long as it takes.
