Bunch of photographers having photo club dinner evening and it was like the pub bore club unleashed hearing them wang on about system X or Y being no good and all the excuses. If you cannot take a half decent photo with any major manufacturer's camera released since 2012 the issue is not the camera

It is the 21st Century and I'm having to drive a letter to a dr surgery because the NHS still sends out letters instead of emails to GPs and the one detailing an important change of meds for parent got lost in post...

If I hear one more 'they want the army to fight with one arm tied begind their back' because of a war crims investigation into potential extrajudicial killings will slap that person with a bloody rules of war VHS. Its a war crime whoever does it

One thing missed in all the 'we are punishing fat cats' talk of salary sacrifice is a lot of private sector pensions went here and quite a few 30 somethings I know who never had pensions got told only way could retire is by putting half their age in as % of salary... That blows the new cap

Just watched Evri driver drop item over gate without even opening it. I'm in, I'm expecting delivery, not even troubled the doorbell

UK government consultation alert. Details are in the linked website.

Joined up thinking NHS rant no god knows how many. MDS prepacked meds a requirement for most care companies... most pharmacies opting out as too time consuming and costly... those that do have waiting lists. GPs & soc serv recommending MDS for patient + carers Round and round the circle we go.

Evri delivery to 'secure location' supposed to be 6.30-8.30pm realy 11pm so spent night in frost Was in and up they just don't care

Air Force one earlier...

Going to be quite interesting to see Trump try his lawsuit attempt to shaedown money when his only leverage is not allowing them in the WH, when he won't allow them in WH afterwards anyway. Esp given he basically did what they said

We could probably solve a lot of recyclable litter issues if they had a deposit scheme on cans, glass and any takeaway charged £2 wrapper deposit. Delivery apps could have a recycle collect split the surcharge on a collect day or take yourself for full refund. Supermarket voucher for returned cans

NEW: Police knew a Kremlin spy ring recruited former leader of Reform Wales at least 3 years ago. So why was Nathan Gill not charged till Feb this year? Pls read part 2 of @thenerve.news special investigation into Nathan Gill. And please share! 1/

Today took Mum to hospital fr a scan and she also got a flu jab. No white faces in her treatment team and made zero difference to excellent care given because skin colour is not an indicator of integration or worth. Jenrick can sod off with his bigotry

If anyone would like to donate to this appeal please see link below. It would be amazing to have Beavers in the wild in Staffordshire and also to restore this moss to its former glory. Thank you www.staffs-wildlife.org.uk/beaver-appeal

Well Batman & Robin have an entirely different relationship now... www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

Folks are determined to piss away public sympathy for their causes by totally avoidable crap decisions at every opportunity

Cleaning the beast today #canoncn20

Today we lost a truly great human being RIP Jane Goodall www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

The Ryder cup behaviour is basically a reflection of what happens when standards and norms of behaiour are allowed to slip elsewhere unchallenged. That Keegan is more interested in an envelope rule is deeply problematic

Absolutely bloody brilliant #RedRoses Great game from both teams who absolutely entertained and played hearts out. #ENGvCAN #RWC2025

Serving up another cracker of a game. Both teams going for it #ENGvCAN #RWC2025

What an ending and great final push by France just too much to do against the Black Ferns. Congrats to both a great showcase for women's rugby #RWC2025

European leaders are fretting Putin wants to reinvade Eastern Europe are missing the simpler answer - he's fixing your capabilities and assets in place and setting public expectation -so any donations to Ukr of air defences now are harder to get public onboard and creates supply squeeze thanks to US

Latest podcast with me and Jim Carter. Our guest is Debbie Griffin, the 1st female president of the RFU. This includes the astonishing story of how 4 women organised their 1st world cup. Pl repost if you like. youtube.com/watch?v=n2Nc...

Why after every RWC game when the sad pub bores have nothing they can slag off on the field of play do they have to go after the female commentators? Just FO and watch repeats of Benny & June on TV Gold you miserable ppl and leave us to enjoy the matches

Ellie Kildunne what a player #ENGvFRA #RWC2025

What a game #RWC2025 #NZLvCAN

Did they just play the famous mocking of Americans by British Army song Yankee Doodle to Trump... yes they did

FFS

#FoxOfTheDay terrible phone night photo of some of the 5 foxy visitors getting still. Happy healthy ecosystem 'garden' / fox playground. Happy foxes = happy humans here

Simple easy win now after Musk's speech by vidlink is ban him from the UK, coordinate with EU to ban Twitter and say Tesla by association will have licence to sell in UK reviewed while he is with company. US currently cracking down on posts it doesn't like can have no comeback

Going to be interesting watching Piers Morgan try the inevitable 'if Starmer did not know he should resign' line after his defence of phone hacking was essentially not knowing what happened at his paper and can't know everything

#NZLvRSA what a game and what an after party. #RWC2025

So Netanyahu failed to get any of his targets while wiping out any support in ME it may have had, endangering hostages, killing negotiations and blowing up US relations in ME This smacks of the settler conspiracy that other ME kingdoms knew about attacks on Israel and need dealing with / regime chg

Does Qatar get their plane back now?

#FirstBirdOfMyDay a group of a dozen longtail tits flitting between two bushes like tennis balls and chattering amongst themselves

I wonder how many of the flag must be shown at all times / stop foreign influence types will forget all that for a weekend because the fake Oktoberfests that are everywhere now sell beer by the litre

A mate and his daughter are on a train back from Chester and 3 Welsh women are banging on about Ilona Maher apparently being 'an obvious trannie'. There is so much ignorance about its unreal.

Samoa scoring some points is the feelgood the weekend needs. Well done a richly deserved reward #RWC2025

Whatever happens Samoa deserve massive plaudits for self-funding and being here. Be great if more funding went to all the teams after this WC is over. #RWC2025 #ENGvSAM

Oh dear that blows that Reform BS line www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

With Reform UK saying it would be reasonable to pay the Taliban to return migrants to Afghanistan, how many Britons this would be acceptable? Acceptable: 17% Unacceptable: 61% % acceptable by party Reform: 35% Con: 23% Lab/Lib Dem: 7-13% yougov.co.uk/topics/polit...

The snake oil salesman got his way once - the result was a disaster. Don’t let him do it again

AI isn't going to produce terminators and wipe out humans because it will not achieve the hyped sentience. It will result in deaths because it is guessing as if the world is predictable, as if its source of data isn't flawed and because people will blindly trust it as if it is sentient and expert

Kildunne is on fire tonight as is Jones. #EngvUSA
