Fibreglass rhinos on top of a bus shelter. That's probably worth a trip to Dumfries... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Resisted buying this charity shop copy of Computer Love by Zapp. No sleeve, couldn't be sure it would play and the label on one side coloured red with felt tip pen, presumably by Alison

I really like the @2000ad.bsky.social themed mural on the side of this property for sale in Ardrossan. Tellingly there aren't any photos of the interior on the listing. www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/1...

Hobnobs at the seaside #MyBestLife

I saw Timothy London (and band) play a great gig at Imperial College Union in 1987, three years before they had a hit as Soho. Musically they were right up my street, they looked fantastic, and they played a song that night which I don't think they ever recorded, that I still sing around the house.

Happy #CollopMonday to all who celebrate

Today's Ripley's Believe It Or Not! I don't know if this is a re-run, but it's looking forward to an event that was due to take place in 2020. A quick Google search shows this cruise never happened, cancelled due to COVID or possibly common sense...

Leith charity shop haul from last week, £16 total spend

I took part in the church recording project at Whitekirk Church last Friday. When we were encouraged to take ten minutes to contemplate and draw a feature of the church I chose the font and the window behind it which both feature the descending dove motif.

Great to see this guy getting all those awards last night #Grammys #humour

My new career as a gag cartoonist...

Until the last couple of weeks, I rarely heard the term Psychodrama, now thanks to British politics it’s a term I hear every day

In anniversary news which I can’t quite verify, it may be 39 years (possibly more) since the Indian Air Force dressed their helicopters up as elephants for Republic Day

This is like the Harry Redknapp defence, "I write like a two year old. I can't work a computer, I don't know what an email is, I have never sent a fax" www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

imagine being the guy who accidentally said "weasel" at a weird time 2400 years ago

Back in 1978 I was mad for Football Crazy. Four and a half pence a packet if I remember correctly and some sort of free sticker incentive which I had loads of www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

Blaming Norway for not getting a Nobel prize is like invading Ireland for not being in the Guinness book of records.

These Lidl extra large eggs are so big you can't tell which is the big end and which is the little end

For me #MichaelCarrick will always be the young player who inspired this impressive Harry Redknapp swear, as reported in the Guardian back in May 2001

I don’t think we should have ceded control quite so quickly and without so much as a fight.

Left wallet + credit cards on London bus this morning, and didn’t even know it was missing. The bus driver has just dropped it off at my house! I thought this sort of thing only happened in the movies. Thank you bus driver Dorota... @tflbot.bsky.social

When I Google Carvana, the first thing that pops up Carmax. But when I google Carmax, the first thing that pops up is Carvana. I assume both companies are paying to be put at the top of searches looking for the other one? Google is no longer a search engine at all, really

If anyone ever writes a Guardian Other Lives obituary for me I hope they use the phrase "wolfish good looks" or similar www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

One of my neighbors has been putting up these fish facts posters. All kinds of different fish, marine, freshwater, deep, shallow, all kinds. This is a good one. “Stg this real fish” took me out. Good work, neighbor.

Easy choice if you're a deer deciding where to buy a house

It's Friday! Time for the good news thread. What's YOUR good news? In lieu of a pic of what I'm watching, I'm sharing the #Creatives4Sudan auction again. My good news is we've raised over 13k now but we can do more. Please consider a bid to make my news even better! app.galabid.com/creatives4su...

Going home on a 125 like it's the 1980s. Young me would have been drinking Stella and smoking Silk Cut

Enjoyed the Jamie Reid exhibition at the Worm Gallery in Aberdeen. Nice to see a Forbidden Planet flyer in the glass case (promoting his book Up They Rise)
