Vision on the Up #TwoShowsInOne

Burnt offering. Quite satisfying to remove a bulb that’s only just died, and find that it’s been in the lamp so long, it’s of a type you can no longer buy. Nor the spiral ones neither.

Blimey, James watched a decent film for once! (Only joking – I just wanted to post something other than “OMG I love this film!” for a change. I do though.)

My 1980 WHS lapel badge, to be worn on the staff issue brown jacket. I’ll wear the badge the next time I do a uni guest lecture on brands. WHS would be a great case study.

A moorhen legs it across the lawn. Brain: Haha, moorhens run funny, like chickens! Brain: Yeah, moorHENS? HENS? Daft lad. Brain: Oh yeah.

Funny old week.

I thought I was well ill yesterday, but today has just given yesterday its beer to hold.

Most pleasing email notification

No it doesn’t. a² - b² = c² or b² + c² = a² etc #Taskmaster

It’s the year 2525 and I’m really looking forward to getting a lightbulb this afternoon.

WHAT. ARE. YOU. TALKING. ABOUT? Not you. These other people. Fuck me.

There are a number of discourses today that I want absolutely nothing to do with, but I’m confident they will last, at most, two days, so I’m not even going to select words to mute. Oh go on then. Isn’t it likely that he was coked off his tits at the time?

Millions of people have left New York and gone back to X (formerly Twitter)

Oh to be a spiky little guy snuffling around in the mossy ground

Bloke in the café had an unusual tandem laptop setup. Mostly working on the nearest computer, occasionally he’d lower the lid and reach over it to work on the one behind. No idea. 🤷

Once again, dark clouds gather at the back of my nose. I’m trying not to fall asleep.

With terrible timing, I’ve taken a seat in the coffee shop window just as the local girls’ school empties out. I’m now determinedly looking at any part of the view that isn’t full of schoolgirls, so I don’t look like A FUCKING NONCE

Watched the first episode of Pluribus. There was only one bus, and that was on fire. I hope later episodes feature multiple buses.

Please tell me his surname’s actually Courgette

Today’s look is Hipster Compo Simmonite.

People of London! PLEASE SHARE. I lost my necklace last night (10th Nov), and I'm hoping someone has found it. I caught the Northern Line from High Barnet to Leicester Square, then walked to the Prince Charles Cinema, then the same back again. I only noticed it was gone when I got home.

Origin story

Rented holiday flat in Cornwall. Top bunk. Got out of bed a bit too vigorously and bashed my head on the spiky Arsetex. Unpleasant.

Ordered Dad a tastefully grainy ash walking stick. Eyeing up a smoove acacia number for myself.

Bookselling friends. Sad news if you’ve not heard, the very wonderful @feexby.bsky.social has gone to the great Dr Who/The Archers mashup in the sky. He was a wonderful, warm, brilliant, very clever & very funny man. My latter contact with him was all on socials but I was glad to have him in my life

What I don’t understand is: I got up at 6:45 and now it’s 12:45. WTF

Not 100% sure but I may have just seen Alex Lawther up the market, hiding in a beard.

Croissant flakes and raspberry jam this time.

If you see this, post an album cover with a motor vehicle on it.

“Where’s your fucking poppy?”

Morning all. Can anyone advise on best UK source of letter/number decals to make up a set for either side of a 1/24 scale lorry??? #histscalemodels

Oh marvellous *buys Skechers slip-ins*

Just realised, two of my favourite middle aged men who stand (or sit) on a stage and talk about (among other things) the vagaries of being middle aged men are Moran and Maron.

What the dickens? The rotters haven’t ruddy well given me this option!

Police said the suspect’s internet search history was “almost entirely cardigans”

Had my flu jab today, so I expect to be mashup just in time for the weekend.

Mum’s happy with her Ocado order, although the melt-in-the-middle fishcakes were unavailable and the packet of digestive biscuits is unusually small.

oh no all the bar stool sports have gone

Current hair situation

In Britain we spell it Belvoir Moon

Imagine how big Mamdani’s majority would have been if Portnoy’s complaint hadn’t swung all those votes away from him.

“New series of Shetland tonight! 9 o’clock!” “9 o’clock on a Wednesday? Nah, that’s M*A*S*H time!”

So you can search within other people’s profiles (it’s in the … menu). How long has this been a feature?
