I’m sure the supermarkets do it deliberately. Fresh prepared veggies in Tescos all used by 23/24 Dec. Forces people to make an extra trip to the shops just before Christmas.

Now that’s a good team selection #utmp

Been doing this for over a year. First ten out of ten

Being a bit of a soft citrus nerd, I can highly recommend Aldi’s ‘easy peelers’ which are actually Moroccan Clemenules, a particularly nice variety but only have a relatively short season.

I'll be on Politics Social at 6pm - having a moan about the very state of things www.youtube.com/live/CA8Hcba...

Why do dog owners get things with other dogs on them? I don't want a pic of another dog. I want my dog. My dog's vaccination book has another dog on it. I get cards with other dogs on them. I wouldn't get a pic of another person on my medical record. Or someone else's kid on my kid's birthday card.

Best speech ever . It's frightening how accurate it is

Things change over time. When i first watched Idiocracy, I thought it was funny. Watching it again now, it's depressing.

You do know that when Trump dies, they'll embalm his body and put it on a glass plinth in front of the Whitehouse, don't you?

Just had my December payslip, and my net pay has gone down by 20p! 🤬 I was undecided about getting sprouts for the Christmas dinner, but that's just swung it for me. No sprouts for Christmas. Add that to the list of positives from the government!

Cats aren’t clean. They’re covered in cat spit.

Venezuela has a fifth of the world's oil reserves, more than Saudi Arabia, more then Russia, more than anyone. But it only produces 1% of the world's oil.

The only thing that's surprising about Trump's latest statement is that he can spell Venezuela.

I know things are tough, but have people really resorted to buying individual extra strong mints?

We humans like to always blame or justify our behaviour. Nothing is ever just an accident, just happens. It's always somebody or something's fault. Religion is no different. Many people use religion as a reason to justify their actions or as an excuse because things aren't how they want them to be.

£175 Amazon mattress is, so far, better than a £600+ Simba one, which only lasted three years. If this one lasts a couple and needs changing, I'm happier doing that TBH.

Bought a Haier heat-pump dryer to replace one that died. It's brilliant. Just over £300. Quality and performance excellent. This is the company that make Hoover and Candy machines, so don't believe all the brand-snobbery.

Do you think I could sell this to Ed Sheeran as his next album cover?

Is it just me, or does @bsky.app @support.bsky.team just keep bombing out when I try to do things like reply, quote or bring up the three dots menu? (iOS)

And there you have it. If you don’t support Trump you deserve to die. He’s said it.

Please tell Putin he can’t parachute into Blackpool right now because there’s a Christmas event on the Comedy Carpet. Should be clear by second week in January. (Apologies in advance if Russia invades in January)

What we really need now is for @zackpolanski.bsky.social and @eddavey.libdems.org.uk to do some sort of joint initiative. Zack gets the young vote, but many older people are reticent of his perceived inexperience and the green ideology. Davey offers the less radical, maturer, 'safer' option.

It's #notReallyChristmasUntil you check the cupboard to see if the turkey gravy granules are still in date.

It's #notReallyChristmasUntil you replace the Alpine Fresh bathroom cleaner with the Winter Berries one.

Bought a new pillow last week, and have to say it’s amazing. Tried lots over the past couple of years. Can’t recommend this enough. Get a box pillowcase to go with it though. www.dunelm.com/product/dorm...

After four days of pain and painkillers, my hip and back seem to hand calmed down. Now I can go and try to find a large turkey tray to fit the ridiculously big turkey that they bought when shopping because I wasn’t able to go myself. Apparently they were on offer, so they bought the biggest one.

It’s the kind of day that Winnie the Pooh would something poetic about.

Important note here: you can support @zackpolanski.bsky.social and the Greens as a statement of opposition to the mainstream and right wing alternatives, without actually being forced to vote for them. The more voices supporting their politics, the more the rest will have to listen.

Just told Junior that I can’t go to the match. Instead of sulking, he’s got straight on to a friend and arranged to meet them at the ground.

I have completely knackered my hip/back. Looks like I’m not going to make the Blackpool match tomorrow. Haven’t missed a home league match since the end of the boycott in 2019.

It feels somewhat immature to find this amusing. www.bristolrovers.co.uk/news/bristol...

Got stuck with Junior in a traffic queue behind a Christmas parade. I said “Look, you can see Santa!” “They’re naughty elves, you fucking idiot”

Happy Friday. Stop scrolling now if you want to keep it that way.

Switching broadband providers today. Wasn’t expecting it to happen at 1:15am Good job I was awake to switch to the new router etc, otherwise none of the alarms, lights etc would have worked in the morning.

Hi to all my lovely new followers. I will be following back when the pain killers wear off. Promise.

I still don’t understand what an illuminated plastic penguin has to do with Christmas.

Surely Comic Sans is the most appropriate font for the US Government.

If Calibri isn’t an acceptable font, I’d like to throw my Haettenschweiler into the ring.

Still stagnant in growing my followers on here. Seems like I'm interacting with the same people all the time. I've decided to try AI...

Just to counter the "Don't use Amazon, support local independents" debate (@mikejay.link): There is stuff on Amazon you simply can't get locally, and other stuff that is significantly cheaper. Most stuff you buy would have otherwise been bought at a supermarket/chain, so no real difference. 1/2

@mikejay.link Cant reply to your posts, so when you ask a question, I can't give you my somewhat misguided opinion.
