Love this

Bit of sage advice of a Saturday morning. . If you’re ever in an American TV sitcom and there’s an eating scene, all you have to do is toy with it. DO NOT EAT ANYTHING! Just fiddle with it. Rearrange whatever muck they’ve given you on the plate. Alright? You’re welcome. ☺️

This makes me really angry. People blocking the driver’s only means of interior emergency escape from their cab with their suitcases despite explicit signage telling people to leave it clear. There are 3 cases totally blocking the cab door. @serailway.bsky.social This is on 1H42 now

youtu.be/DTyUni8dbkE?... I applaud @kermodemovie.bsky.social for enduring this cinematic monstrosity so that we don’t have to 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Anyone know why I can’t post short vids on here any more?? I’m aware of the restrictions and email is verified. There is no post video button when I try and post something? @support.bsky.team

Interesting short article in the latest edition of @countrylifemag.bsky.social on #harrybeck ‘s masterpiece London Underground map. The last paragraph made me Smile. How typical of LT to fail to recognise Beck’s genius appropriately & thinking it could be bettered by giving it to someone else.

You gave us fourteen years of unrelenting sleaze, corruption, lies and pure, venal filth. FOURTEEN YEARS!

I had two things on my birthday wishlist this year, and this was one of them! Can’t wait to get stuck in @garyjamesactor.bsky.social …I’m not a reader unfortunately (I have concentration issues, ironically for someone who hyper fixates on drawing maps for hours!), but will try my best!

About bloody time! We’ve been under restrictions since July ‘25 and supposedly in ‘Severe Drought’ ever since the wettest winter I can remember in years. I make a prediction: as soon as we get a few dry consecutive weeks they’ll be asking us to ‘save water’ again. Like it’s OUR problem? You watch

Waheyyyyy!! I’ve missed this! Yum yum in my tum 💅🏼

Lounging around in bed watching Jack Hargreaves. A face & voice from the distant Southern TV past - now shown with ‘viewer discretion’ warnings Seriously? Jack Hargreaves???? Thank god we didn’t suffer all this BS back then.

War in the middle east?? That’ll be a shock 😶

Oh, and #southernwater has removed all data on current levels of local reservoirs from their website. Even though only 7% of supplies come from them. Anyone would think these water companies have something to hide? 🫣

Rant alert! What SouthEastWater is getting away defies belief. We have been under various drought orders since July ‘25 (NOT Oct) Despite torrential rain, flooding & saturated ground they’ve kept the DOs valid. Their data’s now months out of date Sod knows what we’ll do when it stops raining? 🤬

For those of a certain age . . . A taste of our childhood to soothe and calm you in this hideous world. You know the songs . . . 🤗 youtu.be/aSGuvCzqyQE?...

What the buggery bollocks is this from Google Earth on an island off the southern coast of Chile? 4 pics zooming in - check the last one out! WTF?!?!?

A big haul of 6 LPs and one single today. Including this delightful bit of nonsense from 1966 Thank you to T&S @wowandflutter.bsky.social 💋

Dear Apple, I have the latest software and Air Pods Pro 3 and this translate function still doesn’t work. Nothing happens. Liars. Yours sincerely, Gary

Audience reaction shots for the one and only screening of ‘Melania’ are now in.

Four fictional characters who would definitely have defected to Reform

I’ve just driven into Rye from our village. I’ve never seen rain like this before and the flooding is appalling in places I’ve never seen before in the 20yrs I’ve lived here. Those poor people in Rye Foreign whose houses are under water. My heart goes out to them.

The news is just so unremittingly awful that I’ve made coffee and in my little music room playing my favourite #shirleybassey LPs My soul is thrilled and becalmed I don’t know what I’d do without her and Joni Thank you 🙏🏼

Meanwhile at Congress the victorious POTUS returns . . . And he’s not happy 🫣 www.instagram.com/reel/DT5iJEW...

Why doesn’t the supposedly HQ remote mic facility work on @apple #AirPodsPro2 Eh? Come to think of it why don’t ANY of the touch controls work either? Good morning & kind regards

From Viz, three years ago: The Brexit Opportunity Detector. Still looking.

Listen to this. Ten pound. A ten, pound, sandwich. Ten pound for a cheese sandwich with - what were it called? Red onion jam. Unbelievable. Jam with onion in it. Red. Onion. Jam. The dirty, evil bastards.

Luciana Marini & 141 others on @linkedin.com “like” this. The oddball slide of that site into Facebook for people with O Levels is now really noticeable. It’s all about the ‘likes’, however inappropriate that response to a post might be. And who cares if Amy’s been in a job for 3 yrs? 😶

I’ve now seen the adverts for this new Withering Heights thing so many times that I want nothing to do with it. Kate Bush will do me And I am unanimous in that

I often take the merciful P out of Country Life frontispiece ‘totty’ glam-pics. But this week’s bit of castle owning crumpet looks lovely. I won’t hear a word said against Miss Poppy. She’s an absolute delight. No need to ask why. Thank you. 💅🏼

Oooh! Alistair Appleton is on the telly Escaping To The Country and he’s in my village!!!!! That’s the village green and the little lane that goes up to the church where I do my Graveyard Ramblings from. How exciting. I can hardly contain myself 💅🏼

Jon rocking the #fashiontwattery with the ridiculous laughable ‘collar up’ look on #thechase 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Huge thanks to Faye for their superb feature yesterday 19th Jan on #gaywaves & the work my dear friend Phil Cox did to make this show happen way back in the early 80s. This is the 1st time any of the archive has been rebroadcast. 🙏🏼 www.mixcloud.com/ehfm/faye-19...

Big Bang Theory - fabulous🤗 👇🏼 Young Sheldon - sublime😊 👇🏼 George & Mandy’s First Marriage - dire🫩 Shocked at how bad this last spin off is. Unfunny script. Appalling laugh track. Sloppy direction. I feel sorry for the actors. They deserved so much better.

Isn’t it odd that we feel compelled to say ‘thank you’ to shopkeepers when we leave without buying anything - but nothing when we’ve bought something? It’s weird being British. I feel. You see 💅🏼

This is pretty much the only post anyone should need to understand that Farage is a traitor, a conman and a populist simpleton who must *never* be given power.

Here’s a short poem about the power of poetry to change the world.

Don’t wannabe picky, but that is clearly not laughing (unless he has just watched Mrs Brown's Boys). At best it's a cocky smirk. Squint, lose the face fuzz & he resembles right wing douchebag Robert Jenrick. I propose renaming it 'The Cocky Smirking Cavalier. I'm glad I got that off my chest 💅🏽

Oh and in case those with no water for the past week were wondering, South East Water is foreign owned. Thank you Tories.

I thought you might be amused to see #southeastwater ‘s corporate purpose, values and vision statements. Pure and utter meaningless #wankernomics 🤣🤣🤣

This is one of the weirdest railway signs I’ve seen in years. It came from Tower Hill. Yet the sign is incredibly wrong! Baker St is not covered by the District Line & although the others are you wouldn’t go east to get to the first 5 stations indicated. It’s just . . . Wrong!! I might buy it🥴

Mystery LU enamels 😶😟

Robert Jenrick is the MP for Newark - the only constituency that is an anagram of wanker.

What the buggery bollocks is this? The bin men left it outside my front door in the rain. I don’t want any more clutter outside so I will be inserting it into the recycling bin for them to take away next next week. 😶

Drop some coats . . .

Flicking through AppleNews I saw a page on stuff you didn’t know about the Royals. No.9 was the old queen used Floris scent. It reminded me that on p.105 of my latest book I said that when I met her in 1994 she smelt flowery. Now I need to find this pong to see if it triggers Queen memories? 💐
