Book Discourse is playing one of its favourite hits. At least it's not what constitutes "real" reading this time or what libraries should do with their books.

My literary opinion is akin to my opera opinion. I really don't like a popular artist and I have tried. So I sound like a contrary bollox but my god you all won't stop going on about them.

If you can figure people over 50s childhood landline number you have a pretty good chance of breaking their passcode

I think the biggest problem is that they are trying to turn over audiobooks far quicker than they used to. There are far more mistakes and editing errors creeping in.

Is there a dish from your childhood that you now know was badly cooked, but you love it that way anyway? It used to be overdone chicken livers for me. (Though I now undercook them like a civilized person.) For @regulaysewijn.bsky.social it’s her mum’s terrible moussaka. What’s yours?

Bloody hell

It's my bloomin birthday let's wake up all the town youtu.be/xJaMdm0DWQU?...

Here's a debate for you all. Where should I use the electric mobility chair. I live in an area with a lot of bike lanes. I also use it more in the middle of the weekday so I'm not holding up peletons.

Actress Diane Keaton, known for her Oscar-winning performance in 1977's "Annie Hall" and her role in "The Godfather" films, has died at age 79, People magazine has reported.

This is just to say I have eaten 3kg Of cola bottles Which was Medically Ill advised And bunged me up Completely With gelatin Forgive me I had a hankering And also Ate a carvery

If it was those fizzy cherries you get in Tangfastics then this could've been me.

I was in Tesco today and when were going to the till I noticed the "Novelty Pumpkin" You know what "Novelty Pumpkins" are? They are the rarer squashes. They were being sold as novelty carvers instead of aa food. These things taste amazing, proper full flavour. I mourned

But honestly if you want good quality up to date information on the art world in the UK and a solid discussion then this podcast is brilliant.

Finally catching up with Waldy and @bendorgrosvenor.bsky.social. And I'm now convinced that the NG should sell those benches and use them to buy some decent practical mobility chairs. Those terrible folding stools are useless if you walk with a stick. Can't carry it and use the damn stick.

Where did they dig this concert out from. I like tat and camp but this might be too much even for me.

Raising the case is not enough – Jagtar should be released and on a plane home. We have been here before, with prime ministers and foreign secretaries claiming to have ‘raised’ the case, but none of them got it done. Sir Keir Starmer and Yvette Cooper must succeed where their predecessors failed

He's going to be like a 5 year old who didn't get to win pass the parcel.

This is good news

I wish I had a picture of me and @archivedelver.bsky.social when I was in the push wheelchair. My mum bought me a windproof coat in camouflage green. Con was pushing me and I caught a glimpse of ourselves We looked like a radical mature student and her tweedy Marxist professor in a Ken Loach film

My mobility wheelchair has arrived because you *can't* take a mobility scooter on a bus. Now I will be free to ride about town *and* beyond.

Just sitting back with the rest of the @drinkingstudies.bsky.social people on here watching you all debate public houses, opening hours and costs.

Don't think so, what about you @archivedelver.bsky.social?

The trial of Soldier F is currently ongoing at the moment but the only news I get about it is on local news sites and a little on RTE. Nobody is really talking about it

Benny Goodman playing the King Porter Stomp in 1985. This would be like going to see someone from 1975 playing today, which you can do. Also he still had it right to the end youtu.be/KGAQnHpat8k?...

Guess who had the airline staff move her from the Emergency Row because she knew she shouldn't be trusted with the the door. I will pull it. I don't need tested
