Finally we get to see it.

Ooh. Look at that Northern Light.

For anyone who has ever wanted to witness a fast moving coronal mass ejection.

The clue is in the name.

Has the PM finished yet? I’m none the wiser.

As you’ve all been so nice, here’s some of the 1/24th ‘Spiral Scratch’ record shop and derelict laundrette that go with the van and skip. It’s fun, I highly recommend making and/or mending stuff as a distraction from *waves arms about*

Weather people. Stop referring to Monday as ‘the start of the working week’.

Eleven years ago today, my then-girlfriend came in the living room and asked if I wanted to get a cat. So we went to Edmonton Green and a woman met us in the street and dumped this wee black kitten on us and drove off. We called him Archie.

Everything reminds me of him...

And repeat.

I appear to have forgotten most of the late 1990s #totp

“Let’s make Scampi Fries great again.”

So, me and Mrs Flip have the lurgy, but 2 tickets for the Specials ltd Ghost Town 45th anniversary tour in Nottingham tonight... Gis a shout if you'd like them ... youtu.be/RZ2oXzrnti4?...

Two more councils have withdrawn from X (Twitter). South Oxfordshire and Vale of White Horse said that the platform had become “progressively ineffective at communicating with local communities, but recent events have caused the councils to take things a step further”.

Just for info.

Genuine rage on here this morning for the changes to the Met Office app. Makes a welcome change to all the other political nonsense I usually get.

I largely stopped using X in November 2024. I keep an account there to research the far right (they're all active there, for some reason...) I'm deleting all of my tweets now - Private Eye reports they will now be used to train Grok, Musk's perverted AI monster. Whether you like it or not. Grim.

Note to UK weather app users. Please time travel back to yesterday and stop your Met Office app from updating. It has dropped the single-screen view and clear design in favour of a long-scroll monstrosity which looks like every other shitty overcrowded weather app. WITH ADS.

I’ve got a Blockbuster membership and a library card if anyone wants one.

It’s all I can do to send a post about bins.

Being an old weather nerd, every long-range weather forecast should always state: “… in 10 days time is anybody’s guess”.

RIP Kenny Morris. Such sad news. A truly groundbreaking and hugely influential drummer

Being even more of a twat than normal. Good job I can’t afford to eat in Michelin starred restaurants.

Just to prove FB users are on the pulse, I’ve just got a reply to a post from 11/03/2023.

Oh, good. Sleep well.

'A Cup Tie At Crystal Palace, Corinthians V Manchester City' (1926) by Charles Cundall (Private collection)

Channel 4 News presenter and investigations editor @cathynewman.bsky.social is leaving the programme after 20 years to “return to Westminster” for Sky News pressgazette.co.uk/the-wire/med...

Ruin a band (sort of) by changing one letter. Fat Boy Slime

Ruin A Band by changing one letter Blurt

Saw this and it reminded me of this.

Henley & Thame MP Freddie van Mierlo has joined his colleague Layla Moran and also exited X (formerly Twitter). He can be found on Bluesky at @freddievanmierlomp.bsky.social

My phone is begging me to update to iOS 26.2. Is this the one that changes the look, or something, that I’ve seen several people here complaining about?

Bins are out ready for the morning. *smug face emoji* Just hope it’s the right ones.

Going to probably do a giveaway of my first attempt at "how to make a colouring book for pre-schoolers" tomorrow; I got the author copies back! This was absolutely a learning experience but I'm quite happy with it for the babies. amzn.eu/d/05maOOg

Parsnip chips in the air fryer are the future.

Okay but we might need to tell him to take a break though..

I’ve endured this and now you have to.

Post a pic of the venue where you saw your first concert and the band or artist.

All you loved up people need this.

Incoming managerial vacancy at Spurs.

In the meantime, Wrexham are beating Notts Forest.

Excellent news.

Sorry 6 Music. Much as I like and respect David Bowie, I can’t take a day of him. Given up after 20 minutes of DJ fawning.

I had no idea there was such a thing as a Shredded Wheat factory.

2. In 2017, we wrote about a related issue: the fact that nobody has any money. boakandbailey.com/2017/11/cask...

Well, despite the dire warnings of snowmageddon and storm force winds round here, it’s just wet, cool and breezy.

Still there. S. Express. Holborn.

I tried to get the poor sod in the storm with a fluffy microphone and it all went a bit weird.

Take pity on the TV weather reporters.

It's time to get the fashionable rainwear out ready for #StormGoretti ☂️🌧️ #storm #weather #rain #advertising #clothes #archives #heritage
