The BBC has been going REALLY heavy on the “funded by you” patter in recent months hasn’t it?

Nothing less than the abolition of Greenock. With retrospective effect. #HavingAParty

What does a cat think when they see/realise that the human controls (artificial) light? How, if at all, does a dog think differently? Is this perceived differently with lights operated by physical switches compared with those operated via voice assistants/other activation methods?

If you’re being railroaded from your core priorities by an item under “AOCB” doesn’t that just suggest that you’re reading the agenda of every meeting ever upside down? AOCB is literally the bit at the end when everyone stops pretending to listen and makes their fake excuses to leave.

When those Omaze style draws do an advert and they talk about a “dream multi million pound home” and in Cumbria it’s a mansion with separate wings, multiple reception rooms, a triple garage and several acres of land but then in London it’s a cosy 3 bedroom semi.

Oh mate. You are the middle management.

So there's a Traitor and there's three bits of bait.

What do you mean there’s no Jackie Bird, I want my licence fee back. Weak start, 2026.

Fairly certain this was done specifically to upset @spinninghugo.bsky.social and you know what, I’m absolutely here for it.

Freedom of expression. It’s another one of those irregular verbs isn’t? (1) I’m exercising free speech (2) You’re offending me (3) He’s having his citizenship revoked (4) We can’t say we’re English anymore (5) You’re engaging in dangerous rhetoric (6) They’ve been proscribed under the Terrorism Act

Good to see that there’s no actual crime in Glasgow and that Police Scotland are able to deploy 7 cars, 2 vans and a helicopter to a second tier football match.

I see this Jake Paul guy has gone down the Alex Totten route of claiming he won on corners.

The Avanti Equilibrium is the amount late you want your train journey to be to maximise Delay Repay payout and minimise your real world inconvenience. Today we have fulfilled the first criteria impeccably but at the total expense of the second.

Two and a half dozens, to be precise.

Man v Baby is every bit as anxiety inducing as Man v Bee.

Can confirm having been to the Coliseum this evening that Lionel Tribbey is wrong and Ainsley Hayes was right. But until I’ve seen the other ones I can neither confirm nor deny that they are “all about duty”.

Listening age of 67. The Gen Alphas will be delighted!

Slightly mortified that the publication pipeline for OBR market-sensitive documents is basically the same as I use for @thejagsfoundation.bsky.social's website.

Local estate agents estimate the property is now worth £4 million. Which means *each bedroom* is worth more than a new-build three bedroom flat in most of London. You could buy a very nice six bedroom property in Jordanhill in Glasgow for the price of one bedroom in this North Kensington property.

Fair play, McDonalds. The socks are very comfortable.

Pretty clear from some of the commentary on Motability that a lot of people don’t understand: (a) what PIP or its eligibility criteria are (b) that it’s first and foremost a cash benefit (even the mobility component) (c) that if you opt for a more expensive car under Motability you pay the excess

In a controversial judgment, the Sheriff Appeal Court in Edinburgh has ruled that Martin Luther was the harbinger of neurotypicality. More ⤵️ www.scotcourts.gov.uk/media/ygvbue...

The problem is not the proliferation of brain-rot and shitposting but that the quality of brain-rot and shitposting is declining. In this essay I will…

I’ve decided that I’m officially pro the 6-7 meme because of who it is upsetting.

Parliamentary sovereignty is one of the most deceptively difficult things to write about accurately, concisely and accessibly. Credit to David Torrance & @paolosandro.bsky.social for showing the deceptively difficult is not the infuriatingly impossible. commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-bri...

Dropping heavy machinery is usually a breach of the manufacturer’s warranty. I recommend using a proper crane to lift and place them next time.

Young boys and girls can dare to dream this summer. I still remember how special France 98 was as a 7 year old. Coming home every afternoon from school just in time to watch the afternoon kick off. Scotland back where we belong. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

First time Scotland have qualified for a World Cup by winning their group since 1982. Sensational stuff.

Is Roy Keane heading-up the compensation team? Seems a bit harsh.

Have Hearts Hibsed it?

There are moments when you stumble across something that restores your faith in the internet. Search for “roadmenofwestminster” on Instagram. You’re welcome.

I - a Glasgow born British citizen educated in Fife and Aberdeen - do not have an "A-Level standard" qualification in English. Off to put my feet up.

Would like to thank Vodafone for leaving me without internet access when working from home. In a completely unrelated development, my oven has now been deep cleaned.

Has @vodafonegroup.bsky.social tried turning it off and on again?

Why is everyone on The One Show calling Padel paddle?

Three shots on target. Three goals. There’s your xG.

Why is the atmosphere at Hampden absolutely honking?

I won an Xbox 360 in a score predictions competition on a well-known Scottish football forum, if that counts. But since 2007, I think the answer is honestly "no".

British Transport Police: Stealing bikes is legal now

This place is so quiet. My shitposting about the Ryder Cup would have gone gangbusters back in The Bad Place.

"What I want to do is this. I just want to find, uh, 1.5 points."

Great rule that.

Never in doubt.

Europe going to Hibs this?

The Ryder Cup will now be contested by Tommy Fleetwood against the USA, in the interests of giving the USA a chance.

I see the Fabians are now the Dallas Morning News.

Is it now a rule that when Waterloo Road casts a stand-up comedian as a teacher that they have to be complicit in concealing the negligent homicide of a pupil?

One of the reassuring indicators that we don’t live in a surveillance state is that Spotify keeps feeding me ads from Ikea about their new store in Norwich. I am currently in Scotland. I live in London. I have never been to Norwich. I’m reasonably confident I’ve never even been to East Anglia.
