The French customs ship arrived and suddenly the mega yachts moved away. The yachts also moved away from the Russian one, probably for good reason.

Anyone got any recommendations for (not stupidly expensive) travel insurance post cancer treatment? Would be UK only, so more if we needed to cancel than medical coverage.

Can't believe pathetic people were getting their Y-fronts in a knot over this casting.

There's cricket happening in the T20 #TheCricket and for once it's not happening TO England.

We found this at work today. The said throw it away. I took it away because I'm intrigued. Any ideas? I've looked at diocesan coats of arms on Wikimedia & none of them match. The Greek is a quote from Hebrews about fixing our eyes on Jesus. A colleague suggested it could be the M1 if that was 1961?

Happy birthday to Lock & Co.

Because it means he doesn't get to have a me vs the establishment campaign. And his likely victory isn't taken as vindication by anyone. Plus it makes him look silly and desperate.

Sadiq Khan gets the same level of police protection as the Prime Minister does, far tighter security than Johnson or Livingstone ever needed.

Just wondering how many threats Sadiq Khan has to quietly navigate behind the scenes.

The hell is going on with his shoulders? Is he trying to get the latest lot of allegations to slide off them?

Euw. Just realised Shell has snuck into the top 10 holdings in my investment fund. Euw euw euw.

People really will write anything under their own names, huh?

@mrsivb.bsky.social got a weird DM from you about a "special community badge", I think you've given something access to your account you shouldn't have.

yeah, take that Dimitrov!

The last PDF I downloaded was a sewing pattern. I don't think that would make a very good podcast.

Jimmy Anderson holds the joint record for playing Tests under most different Prime Ministers - 8, alongside Sachin Tendulkar and Sarfaraz Ahmed. Now the UK will shortly have a new PM, we call on the selectors to bring Jimmy out of retirement for one match to enable him to take the record outright.

IMPORTANT: The Women’s T20 World Cup final is free to air (whatever that means) on Sky Mix. Game starts at 3:30. #WT20WC 🏏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇦🇺

England are in a World Cup final this afternoon, so I’m sure it’ll be the top story on BBC sport. Ok, maybe 2nd? 3rd? 4th, surely… 9th. #TheCricket

I ran an absolutely 100% human, zero AI-involvement at any stage passage of my writing through an "AI detector," curious if it could really tell human from AI work, and it said my own writing was "84% AI written" then asked I wanted to pay to have it "humanized." So there's that to keep in mind.

She’s here! Today is the start of this Couch to 5k for reading I’ve put together! Come and join us :-D open.substack.com/pub/naomiald...

Off to Lord’s for the #WT20WC final. Very nervous, bit emotional. Much to say but tl;dr - it’s obviously Australia’s to lose and it’ll be heartbreak if they don’t, but whatever happens this summer has been a triumph for that utterly reborn England team. I love them. 🏏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇦🇺

Hello you lovely #SundayPix people, here is your early warning. This photo is a favourite meal of mine, egg curry and chips, and as you can see I also like to wear spicy colours. Yes you guessed #SundayPixSpice however you want to interpret it.

Here's a fun historical fact which I am mentioning for no reason: Several mediaeval knights died after being struck by lightning while wearing their armour.

Last night (3rd July) between 10.50-11.30 my electric cargo bike was stolen. Black Pakyak E+ with a baby carrier. First time I’d taken it to town 🥹 . I parked it on the Plain roundabout near the Cape of Good Hope pub. Secured it with a Diamond grade lock. If you saw anything please let me know.

Confident in my ability to minister to the laity, I take the church. I smile at my opponent; Leo does not return the gesture. He'd be more handsome if he did, I think. He serves. The excommunication passes cleanly through my soul, condemning me to eternal hellfire instantly.
