Happy with that #GuardianQuiz

Inktober day 1. Mustache

"a minister for death metal to be appointed and given responsibility for playlists in westminster dining rooms, national no poetry day, silent film of poet laureate picking litter on the m62, child seeing any adult wearing a tie gets to cut it off ... carefully" www.theguardian.com/stage/2025/s...

Happy #NigelDay to all who celebrate

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

Does anyone remember the late 80s/early 90s poster campaign on South Yorkshire buses (or maybe trains) with a famous boxer of the time (possibly Nigel Benn) threatening he would like to meet the people who cut up bus seats?

My gran died unexpectedly the day before York Festival in 1984 when I was 17. We had been close because we lived with my grandparents for my first ten years. One of her many idiosyncrasies was calling York's mail sorting office Mount Pleasant

Roast beef, Yorkshire pudding and Yorkshire salad for #YorkshireDay

Charity shop find of the week ;-) Not in the very best of condition but I'm confident the price sticker will come off with no fuss and definitely worth 50p. First print, a little cover damage from a previous price sticker, very slight spine roll and possibly some colour fade down the left

One More Tune ILX and Friends Celebrate JD Twitch is now available thedarkoutside.bandcamp.com/album/ilx-an...

this reminds me of something on TikTok this week:

Whoever it is going round Glasgow putting daft signs on stuff, please keep up the good work. Thanks.

I’m no expert but I would’ve got a person to do it.

This might be my favourite cat meme of 2025 so far

A grey house in Edinburgh, a house called Danger! Also, matching little free library

Today's haul, Prestonpans Bowling Club car boot sale + Burns Yard. Total spend £5.50 including the 2 display stands, but not the glassware I just spotted in the picture ;-) Also included a gardening trug. The Tonight At Noon record seems to be quite collectable, the Corries less so. Both fun tho...

Just spotted my pal @gianttank.bsky.social's gig at the Fruitmarket on Thursday 17th in the ScotRail Inspiration Hub... www.scotrail.co.uk/inspiration-...

I was in a comic shop yesterday and neither of the guys working there had heard of the Comics Journal. I know it doesn't come out very often these days but I still felt a bit sad. The Journal was such a big deal when I was working at FP and Titan in the 80s/90s

Are there no gigs in Edinburgh next week?
