It’s baffling to me that everyone’s arguing for Great British Railways or British Rail or Railways UK when the brand name National Rail already exists, is in the public conscious and hits the ideological aim of nationalising the railways You don’t even have to update the automated announcements

Huh, seems odd to have to make a personal pledge that everyone will have to follow the rules, makes it seem like they know at least one country hasn’t been following the rules and shouldn’t be there #eurovision

The autists on the railway forums are mad as hell that it isn’t just BR (or Big 4) liveries slapped over modern stock because of course they are But they’re right it needs some work on the middle carriages so it flows better. We’re an all MU/fixed formation network now, you can design them for that

Going to get some sleep so I’m well rested for a long day of GBR livery discourse tomorrow

It’s nice to see there is a space on teams for someone to shout incorrect answers over the top of everyone. I’ll fill out my application form tonight #onlyconnect

ECHR rapidly drafting poor guidance to make sure trans women get two Big Macs and large fries

One of the best things about Britain is that we still cross roads wherever we want, like it’s 1825 and the biggest risk is Black Beauty knocking you over. I hope we never change

Zack Polanski crossed into “very annoying” territory much quicker than I expected

lol #strictly

On the slow train from Euston to Crewe, 10 carriages long. Back half of the train (by the barriers) packed, every seat taken, people standing. Front half the train, empty, I have 8 seats to myself, I can count the people in my carriage on one hand God love the British travelling public

So you have to ban trans women from peeing because sexual assaulters will go in toilets to do sexual assaults, but they won’t do that if you just say they’re not allowed to? How do people not see that this bigotry is completely illogical?

The Netherlands is boycotting Eurovision by not attending but still showing it which is also how I’m boycotting the Met Gala and the Oscars

Good to see copy editing is maintaining its high-standards at the BBC

Wow, 26g of protein per 100g?? Now to quickly check how much protein is in standard cheddar real quick…

You can see the hope die in Ow*n J*nes as he nods more and more vigorously

Woke up with Price Tag stuck in my head after about 3 hours sleep, please pray for my sanity today

Scrolling through several hundred breathless posts on the BBC News live page to find out what Starmer says because the journalists are all too excited to get a chancellor resign for no reason other than their own ego

But is it, Chris? Is it your job, as a BBC News journalist, to make political calls on our behalf?

The public are sick of companies banging on about AI because it seems like a gimmick, but the public also don’t care if companies are using AI. It’s the same way companies changed their names in the 00s to PRODUCT.CO.UK! and people thought it was passé and it changed back, but the internet stayed

Not saying the Wirral’s a bit rough, but there seems to be a father and daughter stealing the gym’s old flooring

Oh good, my gym boyfriend is here again, doing the same exercises as me but with twice the weight #gymposts

keep on truckin little your party

I love when a bodybuilder changes their Instagram name from their government name to “Brutus Power” because you know the awkward gay baiting onlyfans launch is days away

A film! Set at Christmas! Is not! A Christmas film!!!

Booooo Balvinder should have been first #strictly

I take back everything negative I ever thought about this format, this is incredible television #SCD

The best part of instant dance is picking the costumes. Make this a permanent part of the show #strictly

It’s nice one of the pros is doing his own couple’s choice dances instead of it being about the celebrity #strictly

Did the costuming department forget to budget enough fabric for Julian? #strictly

The joy of finally muting the misery account people keep reposting into my timeline. I’m free from the constant negativity!

Alexander Skarsgård is such false advertising for the Swedes because they don’t all look like that Now the Danes? The Danes do look like that and that’s why Copenhagen is my favourite city to visit

The excitement when you need new earphones and you remember you have £100 in gift vouchers from work

Social media is entirely to blame for this. They’re not trying to make art, they want another 15 seconds of amusement by ephemeral garbage they will never look at/listen to again before they move onto the next piece of ephemeral garbage

Can I be the 100th person to point out the Roman Empire was driven almost entirely by maintaining the free grain supply to Italy. It’s like one of the biggest things you should know about early Christian times

Maybe I’m just thick, but freezing tax thresholds doesn’t feel like a tax rise. Yeah as my pay goes up I go into a new tax band. That’s how it’s meant to work. I’m paying more tax but taking more home so that’s fine

Capping motability car values would probably have been more effective but enjoy not having any 3yo second hand German cars on the market anymore I guess

Shan’t be reading any of the Budget spoilers, going to watch it in the cinema as god intended

Yass Crabs Boobs

I was practically vibrating with energy when I got home from work so I walked 2 miles and did an hour at the gym doing push day and I still have a lot of energy but I also feel like I’ve achieved a lot so I feel good overall

Jack Osbourne’s gonna lose his pip if DWP are watching this #imaceleb

I know I’m adding to it, but this place is becoming rapidly as miserable as Twitter. Like, does everything have to be about pain and suffering? Could we try being happy for a burst?

Be interesting to see if this holds up because this is one of the most boring series they’ve done so far But the two social media people constantly being voted to do trials suggests it will

Congrats on the 40 but due to the fact no-one is going home it doesn’t count and won’t be recorded in the official records! #strictly

Add Amsterdam back on the list of cities I walk around muttering “I could definitely enjoy living here”

Gyms should consider investing in more than one leg press machine so we’re not queuing for it in a Sunday evening #gymposts

God love a gay with a scouse accent vaguely saying they live in “Cheshire” because they don’t want to admit it’s Ellesmere Port #thewheel

Harry being out has made it much easier and quicker to vote this week #strictly

How do I get the dancer/musical theatre body without being able to dance? Asking for me #strictly

I do love when Craig refuses to engage with dances that aren’t what he was promised #strictly

I don’t like the far-right professional’s sleazy little face #strictly
