Wednesday

Quick religious observance question: does Ramadan fasting include any or all of today, Wednesday, UK time, or is there something this evening that kicks it all off?

FEC data sometimes truncates job titles and things like that, but this genuinely seems to be his job title

Difficult decision of the day time...

I just saw '#FBPE' in someone's bio and that's something I've not seen in a long time...

B.ENO I have been informed that Mr. Eno has now seen this. “Very amusing” was the verdict. I get up to all sorts on Patreon.com/frasergeesin if you fancy it. My comics are also “Very amusing” and cheap from Frasergeesin.com

Resisted the temptation to reply "yes if you flap your arms fast enough".

An old boundary marker of the Port of Preston alongside the River Ribble. EB means East Bank, LQ on the top means Legal Quaystone. Strangely, the date 1844 has the 4's reversed. #MilestoneMonday #BenchmarkMonday #Lancashire #history

They say she has a lovely volley. I thank you, don’t forget to tip your waitress.

Hooray! GB has just overtaken Brazil in the medals table!

The American Olympians do realise that if they win gold medals they'll have to go to the White House and give them to Trump?

Drop an album that was important to you when you were nineteen. One of my flatmates was a music student, brought this LP box set home from the Uni music library. Saw his ensemble play live a couple of years later at the Royal Festival Hall.

Could they do a speed-skating version of the cycling Madison race?

Well of course the shop assistant in our local artisan coffee roasters has a tattoo of a Brian Eno graphic score on his arm - I suspect it was in the job requirements. #hipster

Someone's a card short of a full deck today #streetphotography

Happy Small Scottish Island Day to all who celebrate.

The Guardian has an article on homes for £300k. Up north, 3-bed cottage-style house with garden, near the good schools and rail station. London, eventually they found a one-bed attic room in a terrace next to the incinerator.

Just ordered a book from my local Waterstones. Click and collect so I’ll get it on way home tonight. As cheap as Amazon. Also bought an instant camera earlier this week from Argos, cheaper than on Amazon. It’s proving very easy not to use the evil billionaire’s website. More of you should try it.

Is it "working legs"?

A colleague had just got to New York on a transatlantic flight, was tired, cranky, walking to her hotel, and someone did the pointing-a-finger-under-his-coat "this is a stick up" mugging routine. Could have been a gun. She'd had enough, and shouted "OH JUST FUCK OFF!". And he did.

Why would you do this? Something doesn't add up. www.beyond.radio/news/local-n...

Well of course now I realise I should have said "extract files from coursework archives" and not "unzip students' zips"

Looking forward to seeing if @aiannucci.bsky.social 's theory on AI plays out www.youtube.com/watch?v=TM_s...

HOW MANY LEGS DID SHE BREAK????

🔴 Brand new comic now up on @boingboing.net - Super-Fun-Pak Comix, IN WHICH Mickey Mouse is reunited with his dog in the public domain, but it doesn't go the way either expected... - boingboing.net/2026/02/11/t...

Got my "fix the potholes" hopes up this morning when a tarmac truck and crew drove past... but they're doing someone's driveway. Might ask if they could just... spare a bit of tarmac for the rest of the street?

Politics now with Brant the Physical Cartoonist. What's going on in Downing Street today, Brant?

Mike Oldfield's discography can be divided neatly into records he wanted to make and the record company saying "we need another Moonlight Shadow or Tubular Bells now please our CEO needs a new yacht"

Yeah "University of Lancashire" is never going to be confused with "University of Lancaster" now is it? From thetab.com/university/l...

"Yeah I'm an artist too." "Oh what medium do you work in?" "Mostly Tunnocks Wafer wrappers but might branch out into Teacakes."

Just Fancy That! Sam Altman on ads in ChatGPT. From the new Private Eye, out now.

Reading "Chappell Roan drops Casey Wasserman talent agency" and thinking that's an interesting title for her new single.

All the private jets leaving the super bowl. Paper straws etc

Staircase Cat is watching you watch the Winter Olympics.

A couple of superb owls I saw in Leeds at FOSS4GUK2025 in October. #superbowl

PEOPLE WILL ALWAYS NEED COAL (1975): A fantastic PIF for the National Coal Board selling men on the thrilling, glamorous, and from the looks of it, downright sexy life of a coal miner. Where do I sign up?

Just reminded of a friend who said they played curling in their college halls by putting cooking oil on the corridor vinyl floor and sliding cooking pans weighted with tins along it. Don't try this at home. #curling #olympics

Why do the curling teams have radio mics but no earpieces and have to shout at each other from forty metres away?

Just heard my first use of "medal" as a verb of the Olympics!

My brain keeps reading this as "Wurthering" Heights and I don't remember the grandpa with the sweets in the book.

Mike Rutherford went on to produce Tunes Splits The Atom, of course

I’ve been so brainwashed by the internet, for a moment I was convinced he was going to Rick Roll us. #totp

Have I accidentally tuned into Jools Holland? #totp

Did someone say beveragino?

Child-free woman: "Have you read The Selfish Gene?" Man, excitedly: "Yes!" Woman: "Well mine aren't".

The UK Parliament needs to move to a more central location. I think Eileen Bilton could help.
