How am I only just seeing some people’s selfies, nearly 24 hours after posting. This is the annoying thing about this place, even though I’ve got you all on a list. Anyway you all look bloody fantastic.

So, I may ruin any credibility I have on here, but where is the MAFS crew here on BS? @birdfeed1.bsky.social you watching?

Re speed camera. So I accept that I have broken the law and whatever punishment I receive will be accepted. I will not accept a randomer on the internet who doesn’t even know where it was telling me it is for safety purposes. Blocked. Day 2 of mansplaining. Interesting. Is this a trend?

I guess this was my unfiltered selfie. 50

But then when I was delivering Bruno dog back home to 25, I think I was caught by a speed camera van. 57. Stupid thing is that this is a proper dual carriageway which should be 70 like ALL THE OTHER ONES IN THIS AREA ARE. Pfft. Just about money. Not about safety. Grrrr. Annoying.

Earlier this morning did dog walk in shorts (proud of me @stuchant.bsky.social ?) and first proper bobble hat of the season (Fanks @ginny65.bsky.social 😁)

I’m lying in bed. My room is in the top of the house. The rain is both soothing but also kinda noisy at the same time. Feels like a metaphor for my brain, or something…

So what do we think, lads? New follower. Is she an honest and trustworthy person? Should I follow back? Am I her person…?

@xxhi-its-lauraxx.bsky.social happy birthday! Hope you have a blooming lovely day/weekend

I’m currently in Coleshill, for work. In my normal black suit. However there appears to be a funeral on here as well. So everyone else is looking at me like I’m supposed to be at the funeral too. Might sack work off and see what the wake spread is like…

Especially for @cazoo.bsky.social here is my #ConferenceHaul Firstly a small tote bag to carry everything. A squashy rugby ball (stress ball I think). Charger device with lots of different plugs. Notebook and pen. Another pen. Key ring. Travel mug. Torch/screwdriver/spirit level. Travel sweets.

To the replies….!

So conference tales. Firstly Mr ‘AI is the way forward’ caught up with me. Turns out what he is selling isn’t even AI and might be useful if we didn’t already have similar. Second person to collar me was someone I’ve been fobbing off for months via email. I got rescued by one of my suppliers!

If you see this quote the energy you bring to Bluesky.

Have just been reading this list of top tunes from this century (which is very much worth a look if you haven’t seen it already). This immediately makes me think of @mindlesmandles.bsky.social @drkoning.bsky.social and Mork who appears not to be around for a bit (sad face emoji)

You know what, yeah, people have concerns. They're concerned about paying bills, renting or buying a house, buying food, getting an NHS appointment etc. None of that's down to migrants. If you attend a rally organised by Tommy Robinson, don't play the "legitimate concerns" card. You're a racist. 1/

I’m at a conference tomorrow. One of the attendees has found me on LinkedIn and sent me a connection request. I’ve read their profile and I’m struggling to understand what they are actually selling… Tomorrow is gonna be fun, right?

See??? Horny on main. Open your eyes, sheeple.

Talking of horny on main, I just went into my rucksack to grab a charging cable and found 2 small custard pastries that I liberated from the hotel breakfast yesterday morning. You are damn right I’m gonna eat them now. They are delish. Not letting those go to waste.

Bit of a thread here as I have spare time. Just thinking about all of *this* going on at the moment, with flags and marches and uniting something or other. I live in a cul-de-sac in Greater London, and there are 11 houses here A mixture of people live in these houses...

Wowsers. The whole of my feed appears to have gone horny overnight. Not hating it, NGL.

Morning all. Well that was the journey from hell last night. Obviously got stuck in traffic leaving Silverstone, because Silverstone. That delayed us and meant we got stuck in the chaos of the closed M6 Toll. Took us well over 6 hours to do a 2.5 hour journey 😫

One of the most amusing things this morning on the grid walk was my daughter being stopped for photos by fans. It’s amazing to see her at work but even more astounding to have things like that happen.

Today’s early shenanigans….

@theednawatkins.bsky.social not sure if you’ve sussed this but Maggots/Becketts grandstand seems to be open

Day 2 of the zoom zoom cars.

Mmmm Maccies n Malbec….

Good news: my new EP 'Kiosk 67' is out Friday 26th Sept in Digital and Cassette formats, and you can get it here: hawaiiworms.bandcamp.com/album/kiosk-67 Cassettes are a limited edition of 50 and come with access to the digital version, so no excuses about having nothing to play it on...!

Had breakfast in worse places…

I think I completed Bluesky. Well, the feed of all my friends anyway. Ain’t no way I’m going to explore any of the other feeds tonight.

Rant time. Do people actually check other people’s calendars for space before putting a meeting request in the diary? I’ve just had an invite come through. It’s for a 2 hour internal Teams call. AT THE SAME TIME AS I HAVE AN IN PERSON MEETING IN LONDON WHICH IS FIRMLY ESTABLISHED IN MY CALENDAR!!!

This response from Rob Smith is brilliant!

One single solitary day off work. 53 new emails! Why? Just why???

There’s someone on here that I don’t follow, and who doesn’t follow me. They pop up from time to time in conversations. I won’t block them, cos you will all just go running to clear sky, find out who, and dob me in. But man alive are they an absolutely boring arse. (Prob think the same about me)

Is anyone else struggling with videos on here today? I’m just getting the spinning wheel of doom.

Ashhley, the least you can do is actually spell my name right….

Just done the airport run. Not the nice easy one that’s 15 mins from my house. Oh no. Heathrow. 400 miles, 7.5 hours. Just to avoid them having to change at a different airport. The things I do for my family…. If you want me, I’ll be on the sofa, napping.

See everyone. It’s not just me.

Anyone whose profile says ‘available for fun, incall or outcall’ is getting a swift block.

I’m drinking a home made negroni tonight. New bottle of decent gin (it’s a tanqueray) and it’s made a really strong mix. Not that I’m complaining. Clearly not given I’m on number 2 for the night.

I’ve thrown the Proms on to try and drown out the racket outside. Could do with them getting a bit dramatic instead of going with the quiet pieces.

Great. The protesters back outside the hotel. That’s just what I need tonight.

Today is new phone day. Now, in previous incarnations this was an incredibly smooth process. For some reason today was much more work than it needed to be. Why can’t apps keep the same settings across phones? No, Ring app, I do not want a notification when the breeze blows outside my front door.

While you lot are all watching TOTP I’m listening to all sorts. Started with the new Saint Etienne and then went wherever Apple Music took me. This is a stone cold classic and now I’m going down a Dubstar rabbit hole tonight. music.apple.com/gb/album/st-...

Earlier this evening I saw reference to ‘Corky’. Wondered what the heck they were on about. Anyway turns out he’s on a ‘like spree’. Won’t be liking more of mine…blocked.

@gingertotty.bsky.social I thought I’d try and bring a little bit of light into your days and take your mind off the other stuff. Decided I wasn’t going to wait, so I’ve framed them all and will be putting them up in my office in the next couple of days. Thanks again they look amazing.

Are we paying attention yet?? Or just dicking around with flags?
