Errr . . . How many stripes are there on the US flag MagaMorons? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Just booked my first holiday tickets for a concert in Paris. I do love a bit of Monteverdi me. I wonder if there’s a bar? 🫶🏼💅🏽🇫🇷

Are you arty farty? Then why not pop over to that YouTube thang & watch the first couple of vids where me & artist @Viner art hike off to a haunted wood & talk all arty farty over a cuppa and the odd local mouse. Here are the links. Enjoy! youtu.be/TkU5gxo2NG0?... youtu.be/9Ebg7b9f3OA?...

Remember, every order you place with Gail is professionally overseen by Pete and that's a guarantee.

Oooh I hope so! That’s my kinda ‘turmoil’ 💅🏼

I’ve to go to Coral’s betting shop in Hastings to get my Eurovision winnings. Went into one for the 1st time in my life yesterday. It was the scariest & most threatening room I’ve ever been in. Full of angry Reform type greasy old men & a woman you wouldn’t pick a fight with. Never again!

#OnThisDay 99 years ago Wilston Samuel Jackson, Britain's first black train driver, was born in Jamaica. Moving to London in 1952 he became a driver in 1962, driving the Flying Scotsman and the Mallard. He died in 2018 and has a blue plaque at Kings Cross. Image: NR/PA Media

Thank goodness Bulgaria won! I had 2 bets on them - to win and to come in the top 10 In a winner twice baby 🏆🥇🏆

Can you imagine how busy the toilets there are now? 🚽🧻🚽🚻🚾🧻

This lady would be advised never to marry Orville Peck

Christ what a racket

This poor Polish lady will catch her death if she goes outside with those tin tiddies. Put something warmer on or you’ll not feel the benefit #eurovision2026

I don’t like this one. Sorry lovely Finland. It’s not got the Bangabongabanga effect #eurovision2026

Belgium. #Eurovision

I’m gonna shock you all now. Ready? The last great song the UK entered for #eurovision was our Bonnie. And that was . . . . THIRTEEN YEARS AGO !! WTaF?!?!? 😱

Right! I’ve got me bets on for #eurovision2026 Though I’m not wasting my hard earned on our entry (which was 300/1 earlier) I’m not saying who I’ve gone big on as I don’t want to jinx it. Wild horses wouldn’t get me to reveal 💅🏼

In the seaside caff . . . again Alone. I’m the youngest one in. The room is freezing, but the bacon is nice. 😶

Jesus Christ what a racket

Why are Hastings line @serailway.bsky.social trains so filthy dirty? Looking through their windows ruins the beautiful countryside these trains should be promoting. It’s been like this for years & time something was done about it. No excuses! Clean these trains!!

Day out on my own on the steam train from my village. Have a cuppa and a bacon roll. Well why not?? I can if I want to. Ooh look, there’s a castle . . . *points* 👉🏼

‘So what?’ of the week. 🫤

I see Jupiter Ascending is on 5Select now. This is my nomination for the worst film ever made. It turns mumbling into an art form. Apparently 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

A lovely warm sunny early summer evening so it’s time for some vintage #steeleyespan from 1972 - ‘Below The Salt’ was their 4th LP & a favourite of mine. Good evening & kind regards *swills beer* 🍺

Is there anything more useless than a #volkswagen infotainment system? Absolute rubbish Good afternoon and kind regards 😖

First bouquet of cut local flowers of the summer from @cranbrook_flowers . Last year’s were an absolute joy and I’m so thrilled to have them back again. Thank you Ramona! 💐🌻🌼🌸🥀🌾

Before Nigel Farage and Reform UK tell you he is now Prime Minister, note there are 650 MPs in Parliament and 20,000 councillors in the UK. Today’s results will likely end with Reform UK having 2500-3000/20,000 councillors and still just 8/650 MPs.

I see that #theneighbourhood has been pulled from ITV prime time & shoved in the graveyard slot after only 2 wks. Not surprised. They’ve made the classic mistake with the same old wannabe ‘players’ with sob stories. #thetraitors beware! Slide down that path at your peril (and ditch the slebs)

👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

Now I checked it was indeed Kate Bush’s Hounds of Love - which was 1985. I remember how bloody expensive they were. 🫣

Now playing this on CD - and it occurred to me that it is possibly one of the oldest CDs I have. Must be one of the first I ever bought. Though for some reason I have a feeling it might also have been Kate Bush’s Hounds of Love? Still perfect after 40yrs 👁️

Enjoy the holiday weekend by train 💅🏼

Good riddance then to the bloke who “led” this failed water company, after he finally resigned. #southeastwater had the nerve to put this card in with my latest bill which has skyrocketed to over £350. All this work should have been done years ago instead of filling the pockets of shareholders.

‘ . . . With one bound he was by her side. Nora felt his hot breath on her cheek as he ripped the thin silk from her . . .’

So, we wanted a cheese & tomato roll. This is unbelievable The ‘cheese’ was a lump of white soggy - what did she call it? Capreasy? ‘Cap-reasy’. Not even cheddar! Well you went mad din’t ya? The roll was black 7 pound 95 for a black cheese roll And this is in Brighton The dirty bastards

Harvey the Cat left me an I love you daddy present under my car earlier. 😶

Woke up early. Had a quick check of emails. Nothing of any importance on the news so I made some coffee and went and sat in the garden. I even put my hat on. I love a good nothing type of a day, don’t you? 🌞🌻🌞

The number of trailers on #TLC for disappointing spin off ‘George & Mandy’s First Marriage’ exceeds the duration of an episode. And also their marriage. Mercifully. 🫤

I lasted 36 minutes of #theneighbourhood before switching it off. Didn’t like anyone in it and then they started with sob stories and rapping. That was it for me. I’m now watching an old Hi De Hi. Good evening. 💅🏼

Exactly what Shitler’s done in the US - voted in & enabled by the very people who will suffer the most from the wilful destruction of social/health services, whilst the rich laugh all the way to the bank. The rabid flag wavers then rant & rave at anyone except themselves for what they did. Sad 🫤

In 1993 whilst working at the Channel Tunnel they published a staff magazine called ‘Who’s Qui?’. It listed all staff details & their interests. Somebody filled in my hobbies info without my knowledge. Cheeky sods. It made me laugh though. 🫤

I’ve 6781 records in my collection & the one disc that stands out with the best recorded sound quality, production & superior pressing is this LP by #cliffrichard .’Every Face Tells A Story’ from 1977. No other record I own comes anywhere near the sound of this album. Good morning & kind regards. 💅🏽

In just a few short weeks my little garden has burst into life. I’d sown the beds with wildflowers because I didn’t want neatness & order. The wife thinks it’s a bit of a mess - but I am in love with it. So tough 🌼🌸🌺🌿

Further Pick of the Shit at Ideal Home: A tin crab bottle holder, a garden charcoal oven which will enable neighbours to say they can smell your Charlie, an electric ‘Michael Gove’ face rearranger, and a £450 statue of a bloke taking a dump. You’re welcome 💅🏼

Pick of the Shit at Ideal Home so far: A hairy horse print, a £1500 toilet that shoots water up your flange, eggs pickled in cocoa and an electric surfboard that makes your arse wobble. Stay tuned - more tasteless rubbish to follow . . . 💅🏼

A glorious day for a lung full of diesel. The Hastings DEMU at the opening ceremony of the new terminus for the K&ESR at Robertsbridge 😎

It's not a *strange* recession indicator, but pay attention to your local arts community. Performers, visual artists, instructors of any artform... they're all struggling to survive right now because art is considered a niche luxury in our society.

Incoming Hungarian PM Péter Magyar calls for the UK to rejoin the European Union: "I remember when I was a diplomat in Brussels... We were able to influence decisions. At the time, the Brits were also part of the EU. Let's hope they will rejoin."
