This was incredible www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

FURY INDUCING aspects of modern life: Buy tickets from one place (Gigs & Tours), they tell me I must download an app for the venue (an O2) so I can get my tickets. The O2 app tells me I must ALSO HAVE a Ticketmaster (spit spit) login to get my hands on my tickets. Anyway - Support live music!

🚨Government ministers are visiting Oxford this morning to announce £120m funding to reopen the Cowley Branch Line to passengers. New stations will be built at Cowley and Littlemore, with a journey time of just 7 minutes into Oxford. Full story: oxfordclarion.uk/cowley-branc...

An upside-down VW Beetle has been on the side of the road between Farmoor and Swinford Toll Bridge for so long now without the police taking it away that I decided it needed its own Google Maps entry ... and it's been accepted ... and now it's got a 5 star review!!! maps.app.goo.gl/VdBCYJ3EnDcK...

@johnspiers.co.uk Thanks J! Much appreciated

The Ig Nobel is incredible , one year an Indian guy won it for calculating the average surface area of an elephant and during his acceptance they had an elephant hold up a sign with the surface area of the scientist on it, they do showbiz better than the Oscars

A Ceilidh you say? With an amazing band, a bar AND home made cake? Yup, in leafy New Hinksey (Oxford) Booking essential, sharing this post less so but much appreciated 🙏 wegottickets.com/event/672331

Tomorrow.....20.30 on BBC4 I loved making this documentary! www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b...

Oxfordshire! Get your Congestion Charge Permits here!While stocks last! (now rumoured to kick in before end of October!) Oxford permit area resident | Oxfordshire County Council share.google/vU0XyQxHa2hP...

I'm probably pissing in the wind on here, but maybe, just maybe at least one person who thinks it's all about toilets and pronouns will listen to this and go... Hang on🤔 (Nick Wallis was the chap who KBO'd about the Post Office Scandal of course) seeninjournalism.substack.com/p/no-fear-no...

Wonderful evening with @georgemcgavin.bsky.social Thank you for coming and helping us celebrate our tenth birthday George x

Oxford is to get a congestion charge of £5 per car per day, starting this autumn. Charges will be levied for driving past one of six camera sites. The decision, intended to accelerate bus services and encourage cycling/walking, was taken at an Oxfordshire County Council cabinet meeting this morning.

I've no idea who this person is but he sums up why this is my last post on here. I've never really enjoyed it, but there are perhaps half a dozen people I'll miss. Not that anyone will care, or even notice.

Woke up still 🤯 that a man who a few days ago was ranting here about misogynistic musicians, now dismisses the efforts of women who have lost livelihoods and worse for trying to keep men out of their spaces, their organisations, their changing rooms, refuges, boxing rings etc as "weird and boring"

That's me told

Was going to do a poll, but of course I can't. Anyone want to admit regretting ditching twitter for this place? Especially if you have tickets/art/books etc to sell? Difficult if you made a song and dance about it of course.

Rushcart festival weekend in Saddleworth. Old tradition, revived by Morris dancers in the 1970s. Ancient custom of replacing rushes on the floors of churches.

The lead singer of Cupid's Inspiration has just liked my FB post. #ComeOnBabyLetTheGoodTimesRoll

Liberation: when you finally stop looking guiltily at the huge bag of tiny apples with insect burrows in that your neighbour kindly gave you and chuck the bloody things away.

I would urge all my gardening followers to watch Charles Dowding's more recent videos with a pinch of salt. He's posted at least 4 red flags for serious indoctrination by the conspiracy theorists in as many months ... the latest alludes to the use of "structured water" ... a real con.

All I have left of the 1000s of books I bought from my ex-publisher's warehouse are about 200 copies of Ring The Hill. I'd *love* to get them to good homes this week. If you're in the UK & you'd like one, for the price of your choice (any price!), pls email me your address at [email protected].

Really into making little figures again, these are some morris dancers I made. I'm open for commissions if you want/need something (not just morris dancers!). Great as gifts or promotional display or whatnot.

Julie’ll be in her own at the station this Friday night, then. 😢

It's only taken me twenty years to visit the Roman Villa on my doorstep (well, 10 miles away)

Oof!

“You were supposed to be rehearsing, what were you doing?” “pluh puhbuh” “WHAT? I can’t hear you.” “Playing pinball.”

“And what did you say” “I said I wouldn’t get fooled again.” “And what happened.” [sheepishly] “… got fooled again”

Watching German Shopping cart archery can be very satisfying.

My Dad's Burma Star. He had no interest in any commemorations, and never collected his medals - I applied for them after he died. That was forty years ago, and I'm pretty sure that he would be aghast to know it was still being 'dragged up' in 2025. Just saying

This is a masterpiece. Simply excellent www.instagram.com/reel/DMVGMIC...

Reading this very splendid novel - strongly recommend. But being of a certain age I can't get this very silly song out of my head youtu.be/LScHUXDVa_g?...

A boutique hotel has opened in the former public toilets on St Giles'. Interior designer Rachael Gowdridge has furnished two suites at The Netty, labelled 'number one' and 'number two'. The men's toilets were built beneath a traffic island in 1895 and closed in 2008. thenetty.co.uk

"Amanda Holden, 54, dazzled alongside her youthful husband Chris Hughes, 51, in stunning snap 22 years after meeting... as fans marvelled at the couple's age-defying looks," I tell my date, as she tries to push a breadstick into my eye

I telephone my father. "Amanda Holden's lookalike daughter Lexi Hughes, 19, has sizzled in a wet look topless snap as she posed up a storm in a sultry new photoshoot," I tell him. "What does 'posing up a storm' mean?" he asks. I'm too ashamed to admit that I don't know. After a long pause, I hang up

The Mossy Stones

This is the maddest thing I have read on here today, and bear in mind that I’ve blocked three people and muted twelve. Keen to find out how precisely how many deleted emails might equal one turned off tap

A protest against the visit of US vice-president J.D. Vance has been staged in Charlbury, the Oxfordshire town closest to his holiday venue of Dean. The demonstration, organised by the Stop Trump Coalition and local residents, featured placards such as “Cotswold childless cat ladies say go home”.

Ordered a set of pretty coloured knitting needles because I never have the right size for my occasional projects. But look 👀 This is very distressing and I don't think I can cope much longer

There were vast numbers of gulls going berserk over a small area of sea at Christchurch yesterday. I wonder...

HUGE wife. Absolutely MASSIVE Scottish wife.

Hey #Oxford! These people want to know about stations that have changed your life or shaped your community. Let's think...🤔 www.raildeliverygroup.com/our-services...
