Can’t trust anyone anymore… was there even a bird of prey in H Is For Hawk?

Gonna be enough copies of that Salt Path book clogging up K6 phone boxes on leafy village greens up and down the land.

Reminiscing with a mate about this… Can’t really believe I was there. Absolutely stupid line up. 80 quid (£152 in today’s money). Completely nuts. All the bogs got set on fire. Woodstock for the ‘90s.

. Narchy in the UK.

New Half Man Half Biscuit record is a hoot if you want a surreal hyper- specific distraction from global affairs.

Does Persephone get the winter off now?

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... Love the boomers losing their shit below the line on the Grauniad’s cartoon.

m.youtube.com/watch?v=W2ms... I’m been singing this all day putting shit I probably should have just thrown out in the attic of my new house. That and “Oh Jeremy Sky bin”.

Centrist dad is too radical for the Beeb. Sad day.

One of the few good things this government seemed to attempting was to introduce a right to not rot away in abject misery, but we’re not even getting that, it seems.

Seriously, what is it with boomers and pressure washers? Any excuse.

Such a fantastic championship! Obviously, I wanted someone who was playing when I was still at primary school to win it but what a player Zhao Xintong is!

Williams only 10 frames from the World Championship!

www.bbc.com/news/article... What a joke. I don’t know any of their stuff - might check it out now - but guessing it must be pretty middle lane to be doing an @edenproject.bsky.social session. Remember some of the Manics stuff Nicky Wire and Richey Edwards used to come out with in the 1990s. 😂

“I don’t want to see him anymore! Please put him away! I don’t care about boring sport and he looks like he works in the IT department.” - Some people don’t love the snooker.

So happy the BBC have brought back the original Doug Wood Band ‘Drag Racer’ theme for the snooker!

Big news from the mudflats! The UK’s oldest known Oystercatchers - aged 41 and 43 - have been discovered on The Wash. That’s three times their species’ average lifespan! Legends wade amongst us... 😎 A reminder of why the East Coast Wetlands are so special: buff.ly/rgnjIeg

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... YES! Go further and send them to a prison island.

Honestly, I’m glad I always kinda hated Harry Potter anyway. Even if there is a veneer of ‘common sense’ to the Supreme Court ruling it’s pretty obvious the case was brought simply to shit on a marginalised group of people. The idea that trans women are a threat to biological woman is laughable.

Definitely two camps on phone box Facebook - those who like the kiosks and don’t care if they’re full of shit books and those like me who feel like the entire essence is stripped once the phone is removed.

Took about an hour and twenty minutes, a few nice chats and a fair few straight to answerphone but that’s 52 calls made today from Zennor phone box and OFCOM can’t now let BT take the phone away. Thank you.

I’ve got such a good collection of mid-century wool and silk ties. Mostly they belonged to a dead architect who designed the (sadly demolished) brutalist police station in Truro.

www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a... Sounds great other than the new passport I got three years ago has never let me through the e-gates once. I don’t even bother trying anymore. Wonder what list I got put on?

Dodman style! @lakesstiles.bsky.social

Microsoft Word can’t stand passive tone, can it? It might let you have proper spellings but it basically hates real-world use of British English.

open.spotify.com/track/5wGfZ5... RIP.

The Cory Booker extremely long speech spectacle is quite something. It should be getting more coverage.

Normal lawn is newsworthy… is it a really subtle April Fool or are we really that f—- ? www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I have a plan.

I don’t like this “leaning in”. When did people start saying it? Around the same time they started talking into the front of their phones?

Jack speaks with James Fergusson about Cornwall's Vagrant Cider (@vagrantcider.bsky.social) and their use of wild seedling apples, which give their ciders unique qualities rooted in this beautiful region.

www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p... I went on the radio to tell people about apples that have definitely sold fewer than 500 units.

Oh dear. Just discovered the Mr Doodle guy is actually real. I thought he was just a satirical character from a piece I read on the @thewhitepube.bsky.social Truly we are living in the last days.

www.theguardian.com/environment/... Don’t get me wrong, the man is doing a good thing but it isn’t primarily “stressed out urbanites” who need this, it’s working class kids in Liskeard and Bodmin, so it’d be nice to hear about a bit more involvement for the less privileged.

I hate Dubai’s purchasing of international sports. Bloody empty cricket stadia. What’s the point? They’d better f-off from the snooker.

A good news story today.

www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis... Rather enjoyed this late career Dylan curio. Probably best with a pack of filterless Luckies.

Me from space, May 2020. A stopped clock tells the right time twice a day and Adrian Chiles wrote a moderately interesting article in the Gruan about how his dead father is on Google Street View washing the car. Well, here's me from space single handedly digging the foundations of my polytunnel.

Just been ringing round some favourite Highlands & Islands telephone kiosks to check they’re still there. It's been a mixed bag but these two classics still ring out. Ullapool is next to the seafood shack and had no door so you might get someone to pick up.

www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025... I’m with the dour Calvinists on this one.

My word! People do some horrendous things to their gardens.

www.politico.com/news/2025/01... This is quite fun in the context of the fuck all fun to be found presently.

Went to see that Dylan film. It’s not bad but you won’t be learning anything new. Ed Norton is good as Pete Seeger. Really lifts it. It’s basically a bog standard biopic. Nowhere near as good as Walk The Line. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
