I don’t know about anyone else, but I think that Olympic Curling could be improved by integration with Dale Winton’s “Hole in the Wall" game show.

Just signing the North Cascades over to Canada. No one has done anything about it ever before, but I just did. They said it couldn’t be done, but it can. They say it’s worth Trillions of dollars…can you believe that?

At what point should this not be considered Treason? Nathan Gill colludes with a foreign power to cause the country harm whilst sitting in EU parliament for Reform. Some might wonder what they are for reforming. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c8...

@exeter.ac.uk I thought this had already been evidenced by @equusonthebuses.bsky.social in his discovery of Huw Davies of Aberystwyth. news.exeter.ac.uk/faculty-of-e...

Well what the actual am I supposed to do with this then? A day with Prince Andrew … Will there be a reissue?

I popped over to Twitter to have a look…wish I hadn’t. A few lone soldiers carrying on in attempt to provide some balance, but it is not Twitter anymore…x is a more appropriate name for Elon’s apparatus of hate and violence.

Some, previous unpublished I believe, photos of Genesis, that I have in my collection of 35mm negatives. They are not dated. Possibly 1981/82? Any ideas @almurray.bsky.social @genesisnews.bsky.social ? For what it’s worth, I retain commercial rights, but feel free to have for personal enjoyment.

On the 200th anniversary of the foundation of London University, and 63 years after the Beatles recorded 10 tracks in one day, the disappointment of my failure to get Oasis tickets will be assuaged. Et tu @equusonthebuses.bsky.social? @almurray.bsky.social

Anyone know what "reform" propose to do with all the Normans. They came over here, murdered people and took all our jobs.

Anyone else wonder whether Elon is a twa ? His education plans already falling short.

Go Vermont.

Enough is enough. Can we put the vile Musk on the next spaceship to leave earth? Just make sure the "Disaster Area" logos are covered until after take off.

Thought for the day. Given the current situation over the pond, I am wondering if we should rename the United States of America to the State of America?

Wondered which 4-letter word to use, but erred on side of caution. I feel like doing a Bowie at the Freddie Tribute Concert.

Scientists may be telling us "not to worry", but a 1:43 chance of asteroid YR4 hitting us!!! Don’t they watch the movies??? 🪨🌎💥 By the way, I have just bought all the toilet paper in town. DM me if you want some. www.space.com/asteroid-202...

Just wondering if now is the time to take back control of the Resolute Desk? #britishwoodforbritishpeople

I have, this morning, rediscovered the delight that is a crusty bread roll, buttered and filled with cheese and ham. It may surprise you that I cannot what doge think about it.

I think we need more Poutine in the UK. This is one I rustled up in 2020 following the cancellation of a holiday in Canada. It really is rather nice, but cheese curds are not readily available and so it is a rare treat. I wonder if Tim Hortons could add it to their menu?

Perhaps Canada should apply to join the European Union?

If Trump thinks that Denmark has no legal claim to Greenland, does that mean the British can take America back? #makeamericabritishagain We could then be nice and neighbourly to our Canadian cousins.

Wondering if anyone is up for renaming the Irish Sea to the Gulf of Aberystwyth?

A little bit faint, but there. Aurora 2025. Mid Wales.

Wishing everyone a peaceful Christmas.

Wrapping books is nice & easy. Luckily, mum has asked for mostly books this Christmas! Trying to paper match wherever possible. @katemossewriter.bsky.social , easy; @peterjamesauthor.bsky.social, less so. Christmas jumpers upsets the red and gold theme. 🤔 Seasonal greetings to one and all. 🎄

Bread with no butter anyone? #moistgate Who would have thought that something as simple as moist bread would be enough to keep a Conservative leader at bay. I wonder if Kemi would be interested in buying my new bread drying device as seen on Dragon’s Den…Bargain at £50 or £90 for two?

It’s a little bit windy in Wales just right now.

Well, no alien invasion today.

Perhaps the Government could implement measures to limit the powers & manage the behaviours of parking firms. Parking needs to be managed, but can be so done in a more civilised way. Perhaps a truly independent body to process appeals would be a start, funded by a levy on the companies

It was 24 years ago today. Remembering George Harrison.

One word for the Notre-Dame restoration; chapeau.

Over in the haterverse, more misinformation. Rather than checking facts, happy to use interpretation by The European Conservative & oblivious that the guidance was 1st published in 2015 & last updated in March 24. Clarkson then regurgitates and seems to be Elmo’s parrot.

Belfast says "bollocks!" for the last time of 2024

The Trump cabinet bingo competition is not over until it’s over.

Well, there we are then. Trump and Colon’s pick is wedi beni. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cm...

Yesterday’s farming protests made me look up congestion charge for agricultural vehicles in London. They are exempt…a potential boom in London tractor sales beckons.

There was a music teacher at my school who, one day and in a very broad Yorkshire accent, told those of us assembled who had raised concern regarding an instruction he had issued, stated "Eh, boys, I am the real Headmaster of this school". I am wondering whether Elon/Elmo is making similar claims?

In light of the latest developments in the Ukraine/Russia conflict, I am thinking of holding a watch party this evening. Filtered water and selection of tinned food provided. www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

An interesting and Blueskyesque post on Twitter.

Did our problems start when we moved away from the Gold Standard & started using pretend money? Land/property prices have no real relation to values; farmers have paid huge amounts for land that does not provide sufficient return. This, along with the property price boom, is not sustainable.

The Beatles up for two Grammy awards - Best Rock Performance and Record of the Year for their 2023 single "Now and then". youtu.be/Opxhh9Oh3rg?...

I ventured over to have a look over in Elon’s #fightclub only to find that his pet AI system is recommending news for me based upon misinformation largely spread on X. There is a disclaimer suggesting users verify content but that seems unlikely to happen.

Fair play to the sub-ed who slipped that in. #budget #farming
