Iconic moment at the Downton Abbey premiere

I bet he'd hate if this side-by-side went viral.

In a dream last night I saw a poster for a Rick Wakeman concert and the support bands were "Slimy Kline" and "Trumpet Finger". Does anyone know if these are real bands that were somehow lodged in my sub conscious?

I don't know why they cut this from the episode, they should have left it in. youtu.be/2c6qENWh2jQ?...

Just checking who's on at my local literary festival this autumn. This could be interesting.... yeovilliteraryfestival.co.uk/whats-on/all...

USA Folk, I'm pleased to report that my book Historic Building Mythbusting is available in your lands. I even refer to some real American ship timbers now in a UK building (pictured). Currently stocked by Bookshop.org, Amazon or Barnes & Noble (link below)... www.barnesandnoble.com/s/historic%2...

Motor traffic expands to fill the space available. 1% extra road mileage = 1% extra traffic. You cannot build your way out of traffic congestion.

As the author, I’m immensely proud of this report. But mainly I hope people read it and take notice. This is about the rise in ‘fake e-bikes’, and what’s driving it appgcw.org/resources/in...

"It's so painful what we see in Gaza. It hurts me all over my body. And let me be clear, it's not about ideology. It's not about I'm right or I'm wrong. Come on. It's just about the love of life, the care of your neighbour" - Pep Guardiola

Apparently, its available on Kindle for just £3.79 during May. Good opportunity for a gander if you've not already read it... buff.ly/PaQHRsz

Today is Somerset Day. To celebrate I'm going to embrace the full Somerset experience by eating Cheddar cheese and drinking farmhouse cider while stood in the shower with some dodgy indie music playing in the far distance.

I like it a lot- got inspired myself by Laura Loomer's tweet yesterday- Young man If you're ever in Rome Young man And you're there on your own, I said Young man If you don't have a home, there's no Need To Be Unhappy (dah dah dah dah dah) - You go and stay with the

GREATEST HEADSTONE OF ALL TIME

You don’t need a huge truck to get a decent flatbed. Both a more appropriate size and far more useful considering the height of the bed. They’re also electric. Far more effective than the emotional support vehicles you see being leased as part of “company car” tax dodges.

Brilliant thread.

First Carney, now Zelensky. Getting found out for the clown of a negotiator you truly are! 🤡🎪🤡

Paddling the Severn with @HelenMorganLibDem.bsky.social, I was strictly told not to fall in. After what water companies have been dumping here, I didn't need convincing! Ofwat is failing badly. We need a tough new Clean Water Authority that actually holds the water companies to account.

Headline of the year so far. It’ll definitely take some beating.

My statement on Trump’s reckless trade war.

Cowards. It does show however how easily the establishment in the UK would cave in to a right wing authoritarian government. Royal Society decides not to take disciplinary action against Elon Musk www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

On 16th March, 1968 Warrant Officer Hugh Thompson Jnr was flying helicopter recon for a US attack on My Lai, an alleged Viet Cong-controlled village in Vietnam. But as the attack developed below, Thompson realised he was witnessing something something else: A massacre. He decided to act. 1/28

Nice! 😂👍

Water bills are through the roof, sewage is still being pumped into our rivers and Water companies are raking in massive profits while Ofwat does next to nothing. Time to scrap Ofwat and bring in a regulator that actually does its job.

Dolly speaks...

@bbcsarahsmith.bsky.social Hi Sarah I saw your report on the BBC. Can you clear up if you're paid by the BBC or Russia?

Reporter: If you could speak directly to Elon Musk, what would you say? Rep. Jasmine Crockett: Fuck off.

Just revisited the old place and spotted this absolute gem among the detritus. A 15-year-old Pete Shelley at the Lancashire Miners Gala in 1970 #Buzzcocks

The run off from those chicken farms is highly toxic to the ecosystems in the River Wye. Stop buying Nandos and tell them why.

I really do think the correct response from journalists and political commentators in response to a deranged fascist saying he wants to take over Canada or Greenland should be framed as him being a deranged fascist and not write a column about the 5 things that would make such take overs tricky.

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public. He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit. Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

“As an editorial cartoonist, my job is to hold powerful people and institutions accountable. For the first time, my editor prevented me from doing that job. So I have decided to leave the Washington Post” — Ann Telnaes, after drawing this cartoon, which included the image of a supplicant Jeff Bezos
