An episode of grand designs with a down to earth, likeable couple with impeccable taste and attention to detail is still a joy to behold. Jonny and Kara up in Yorkshire; bravo. What a brilliantly deserving couple and what a stunning house.

Odd new ad from regain

The man on radio three kept pronouncing Don Juan as “Don Joo-an” like he was a Brit in benidorm refusing to accept spanish pronunciation convention and it really really annoyed me.

My husband brushes his teeth only once a day and I am going to leave him because of it.

Newly unearthed Nigel Farage videos reveal support for rioter, neo-Nazi event and far-right slogans

I think the app ‘fabulous’ takes the biscuit in making deleting your account as difficult and convoluted as possible. Wow. Also, so many snide ways to charge you money. What a swindle that thing is.

My local road crossing at Brockley Rise. @lewisham.gov.uk @lewishamlabour.bsky.social 1) you’ve installed a pelican crossing *not* a puffin crossing. 2) the crossing is not working on the first two days of schools being back. I’m meant to cross the road with my baby in a pram here?

@footballcliches.bsky.social re: sumo drinking - I was invited to meet some sumo wrestlers at their stable on the morning of the tournament in Fukuoka back in 2007. They let me eat breakfast with them. Featured bowls of beer.

@lb-southwark.bsky.social Is an”except cycles sign” missing here? Confusing. C14 markings suggest one can ride east on tanner street approaching maltby and druid streets. Has been like this for yonks.

It's physically unsafe for people like me to go into the centre of our home city this Saturday on account of the colour of our skin. Most politicians are either failing to stand up to this or actively contributing to the situation. We don't owe any of those politicians our votes. Not one of them.

Mad that there will be fewer arrests after this than when a bunch of pensioners and nuns stand quietly with a sign.

British doctor comes back from Gaza and confirms two things we knew: 1- the Israelis *specifically* confiscate formula feed to starve children 2- there is a clear pattern in gun shot wounds pointing to the fact that IDF soldiers are playing games hunting humans. www.instagram.com/reel/DMm03Kp...

Bin to Cambridge. (Spotter: @duncpalmer.bsky.social)

very normal thing for a major incident to be declared because they want to take down the asbestos bonfire beside the power station that supplies the hospitals. very normal country.

Interesting box of free books near me in SE23. @footballcliches.bsky.social

Cerys asks someone how they became a lawyer? “Oh well my friend suggested I switch from anthropology to law and luckily he offered me half price fees as he ran the law school in Oxford.” OH HOW VERY VERY FORTUNATE FOR YOU

#OnThisDay in 1983 Substitute John Hewitt headed in this winner as Aberdeen beat Real Madrid 2-1 to win the European Cup Winners Cup What a time to be an Aberdeen fan

A typical European car is parked 92% of the time. It spends 1/5th of its driving time looking for parking. Its 5 seats only move 1.5 people. 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels, and most of the energy that does, moves the car, not the people. Sound efficient? HT @ellenmacarthurfdn.bsky.social

The Greens now have nearly 200 more councillors than Reform. This is not something you'd be likely to guess from all the copiously salivating media coverage of Farage & his crew of billionaire-backed far-right chancers.

I’m missing one of those. Yoink. (SE23) @thefence.bsky.social

#GreatDixter earlier this month. Highly recommend a visit.

Yay my copy of @thefence.bsky.social has arrived… and on my birthday too!!!

Vatican tech chat? Very Omnissiah coded.

Two days in a row that I’ve seen a van driver on their phone blast through the zebra crossing outside Honor Oak Park station whilst people are stood about to cross. I followed today’s one and at the next lights he was still gawping at his phone.

This interviewing technique from Nick Watt on Newsnight is strange. He interrupts the interviewee in such a jarring way.

OTD 2018: #DHFC 2-1 Thurrock.

Find big companies with a low price per share. As a shareholder you can attend the AGM and eat as many sandwiches as you like

open.spotify.com/episode/5KrE... Really interesting episode about the topic that I made a presentation on for the interview for my new job 😇

The devil’s weed. Revolting.

I don’t think there has ever been a film I’ve wanted to see less. (Also, is that the correct phrasing? The English language can be odd sometimes.)

First night of the new regime at the Blythe Hill Tavern last night. Not much changed, yet, although the fruit machine & some of the decor is gone. Bushmills 10 year old v smooth

Met a man at the Blythe yesterday who has been to 23,708 pubs over 40 years and they’re all documented in notebooks. He also (along with his compadre) was wearing this beer towel waistcoat covered in pin badges, made for him by his wife.

Hate to break it to this lady who thinks bob marley was wearing the colours of the jamaican flag at the hammersmith Apollo when she took these photos…… it’s ethiopia 🇪🇹
