What, the Winter Olympics is over? What am I going to do with the newly rediscovered knowledge of the rules and tactics of Curling, how to spot a good skeleton run and how to score ice skating performances from a sofa?

It would be nice if there was a simple notification in Windows 11 - "Don't worry if your fan starts going crazy - just a regular scan / installing updates / downloading updates / mining some crypto for a bit of malware". Just be nice to know.

And people say we don't hear enough from the true victims in all this...

This. Removing being, what, 8th in line to the throne would do what exactly? Other than providing a handy headline distraction.

My great thanks to those at Google that turned off Google Custom Search randomly on a Saturday. That same service that was supposed to run until January 2027. May your weekend also be ruined.

£2.50 on the Euro millions lads. Peanuts, to go with your drink, (purchased separately, by yourselves) are on me.

Remember, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor won't see your jokey tweets. But your friends implicated in serious misconduct in public office while embroiled in an international paedophile ring among the global elites might.

What a shot 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🥃🖌️🖌️🥌🥌🥌

Google jacking the prices up to pay for the AI that I've spend all year turning off and do not use.

Never mind who watches the watchmen... Who pours the coffee when the coffee shop workers are on a coffee break?!

While Tony Blair famously hosted Noel Gallagher in Downing Street, Gordon Brown invited Spinal Tap, and they turned up to No. 11.

Nice to read some good news for a change

My brother Garry has dementia and is currently lost somewhere in the Chester area. If anyone should spot him please call the police on 999. We'd appreciate reposts. @shitchester.bsky.social

All hail the glorious apricity I'm off to bathe in it. With lots of layers on.

A bright blue sky and sunshine greats Manchester this morning. I think we all need a bit of this.

The best country in the world at throwing ourselves head first down an icy hill on a tea tray! Well done Matt Weston and team. 🇬🇧🏅

BBC 6Music bosses with Beth Ditto plans for their audience.

I was checking the price of the champagne in the local Coop today. You know. For reasons. Things might be looking up. Not quite ready to reserve fridge space but might be worth having it in the cupboard.

Is there a bug thing that causes a light cold but dreadfully stinky wind? Asking for friends, .. who all live in the same house, our house. Us.

A much more measured post.

I know there's a lot of important things going on but can anyone spare a moment to confirm the new Aldi rice cakes are not a patch on the old ones.

Was looking for a nice game for my 5 year old. Animal Crossing. Lovely stuff - wait. But is it? Or is it priming them for a cult? There's a leader - you're in debt to him, you're put to work on a strange island away from your friends and family and given a controlled phone...

I've been saying for months if Bitcoin starts crashing it's because someone has just died and they haven't announced it yet. Let's see.

Is today's Wordle word used in the states? Not sure I've ever seen it before.

This deserves to do numbers

With all the news in recent days / weeks / months / years Has this song ever been more apt? youtu.be/irFJ1oI8vYE?...

#totp still feel like there needs to be more letters in Billy Joel's name to pronounce it like that. And maybe a hypthen. Joe-ell

I mean a gallbladder is probably fairly weighty so that loss is surely an added bonus when you think about it? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Hands up who wants hand amputation punishment?!? * * not actually a punishment in UAE. Just a Shariah law thing that's not actually imposed.

Local cinema is showing the Melanoma film Some seats have actually been sold (about 6). It would be fascinating to interview those people going in and then out. Any journalists interested in a voxpop piece for our times?

A good reminder though to those self employed and or running your own business etc. It's the 31st tomorrow. The endless month is actually about to end.

Paid all my tax this morning. So I'm off to spend all my left over money. What will it be for tea, gruel or porridge? Perhaps I could pop to the park and see if there are any slow, sickly pigeons about.. No, of course I'm happy to contribute to society. Just doing my bit.

Disaster has been averted. The dishwasher tablets have been delivered. Stand down people.

Sun is coming out in Manchester! Yay! 🌞 Just as it's setting. 🌇 FFS.

Might go for a lovely walk to the River Mersey in Manchester.

Can identify Raspberries. I feel you.

Do we need to worry that Reform taking all of these unpalatable Tories might make the Tory party more electable?

Daddy's gone on to attack Iceland.

Signs Spring is on its way...

Had been dreading visits to the gym in January. The New Years resolution makers usually make it unbearable... Seems no different this year. Has fitness reached peak, um, fitness already?

Whomever settles this Greenland stuff it's surely a shoo-in for the FIFA Peace Prize in 2026. Still all to play for lads.

Jade is channeling.. #TheTraitors

Bet she hasn't got Snappy the Crocodile though. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Users set to double the number of devices with Google Gemini installed, but disabled, this year.

So much of this.

-5C in Manchester this morning. Put some water out for the birds. They will all be struggling today

They've changed the headline from something around "Health concerns about President to this: Almost like running around slapping lawsuits on organisations just reporting the news is an effective means of suppression.

Up early to celebrate the new year by mistyping the current date on my accounts and expenses.

Why are they setting fireworks off all night near me and where the effer have they got the money to afford them?

Just know I'm going to keep looking like an idiot when I'm stood at the checkout and filling in my cheques with last year's date. Cashiers seem to hate that.
