If you're going to drive a distinctive car with a personalised number plate maybe don't dangerously undertake while doing 80 mph in a 60 zone. Looking at you B7 SEF. Twat.

Just had a genius idea for a book for teens about Santa. It's moments like these that I wish I could write and/or draw. 😆

Just passed a house with two young tortie cats in the window. I have to stop myself from knocking on the door to ask for kitten snuggles. 😆

As someone with no strong views about national ID one way or another I do find the arguments really funny. "Some evil corporation will get my data and use it against me" They already have your data. "It will stop immigration as they won't get jobs" Because there is no cash-in-hand economy?

“It’s an evil plot to collect & sell our sensitive private data to Palantir”. Well (1) you’re a borderline conspiracy theorist (2) if you think your sensitive private data isn’t already on dozens of private companies databases as well as state databases (the NHS for example) you’re also a fantasist

Has there been some sort of system update that means it's once again easy to butt dial your first contact like it's 2003 again? I've had two accidental calls this week!

Oh good, in the year of reading of our lord we're thinking about adding more reading testing? Nothing encourages reading for pleasure like tests. Kids love it. Especially teenagers. They lap it up. they live for tests.

The motto I live by: The best time to do something is when you think to do it. It also happens to be the motto I'll probably die by as well.

Chatting with a friend who is considering buying a house. On the market for around £250,000. Estate agent has said if they offer £300,000 they might take it off the market. Has the way buying a house completely changed in the last 6 years?

It's so weird hearing someone on the radio talking about the nuances of health and proper research. I've got so used to people talking complete nonsense with zero evidence and it being amplified by the media. #Radio4Today

Help an old fuddy duddy out. What is the 6 7 thing all about? No kid is willing to tell me.

Things I hate... Doing homework with my child. Maths homework finding the mean of plant heights. Apparently I'm over complicating it. Am I horrible for hoping he's got it wrong? 😆

Jesus Christ Radio 4, maybe tone the traumatic drama down in the afternoon? Genuinely disturbed by the postpartum psychiatric emergency on the radio this afternoon.

This is incredible news. Science flipping rocks. 😍

How it started: how it's going

Is there only one brand of paracetamol in the US? Or has Tylenol specifically wronged Trump the delicate man baby?

The whites wank in Eton ... No lies detected

You know what term I have irrational levels of hatred for? Wealth Management Consultant

So here is why I think it is helpful to retrospectively point out historical figures neurodiverse traits. Autism wasn't "discovered" in the 1940s. There were always people with autistic traits that would probably reach the threshold for diagnosis now.

Reminder to my fellow bisexuals: do not do crimes today. You are briefly visible. Wait til tomorrow when you can no longer be perceived.

When you are so desperate to sleep on your this week's favourite chair that you'll put up with two humans and a dog talking over you.

Wait, so it shouldn't be eliminated? Cured? What an amazing concept!

Can the BBC please stop reporting every stupid thing Trump says? They might say there's no evidence for his stupid declarations but it still lodges in people's heads. And plus, you know, this is not America.

Why do cats sit in boxes? Because it looks weird when they just sit in the middle of the floor.

I get a bit paranoid that I only ever wear things made from the same sewing patterns. So when I got a 20% off knitwear from M&S I thought I'd treat myself. Good god, why does everything make me look like a gnome?

It's amazing how many people repost things without fact checking them.

Question for my left handed #sewing friends... Do you find it hard to sew considering all sewing machines the same shape? Would a machine the other way around help?

Feeling a little blue today. Finished off a sewing project that had quite heavy fabric. Really struggled with the weight and moving it about. I would dearly like a new left arm.

A restaurant that seats 2k people a year would get a detailed review when a kids book selling 50k would get a few words in a round up. #CBICONF25

The whole world is mocking MAGA-America right now.

Belfast has the best sunsets. 😍

@flagwankers.bsky.social I've just remembered this on a local comedy show from many years ago. Just to give you an idea what peak flegs is like.

People of Gen X - prepare to feel very old. And mildly confused.

Goldilocks would freak out at the size of this bowl of porridge. The photo does not do it justice.

I'm not going to name names but I've just heard a story about a local social enterprise who ironically seem to show an awful lot of hate to people who don't perfectly align to their exact position.

You don't need to be an evolutionary biologist to know this.

There's something weirdly comforting and pure about @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social becoming a meme that's popular with teens. 😍

got bored. made the test card clown

I'm going to pin my colours to the mast... I really don't like competition programmes. People bending over backwards to try to impress judges who are nothing much more than highly opinionated. Can we not have programmes with beginners and show them learning and improving?

This is really great news but... Having been in digital engagement for a well known institution when they pulled ads from GB News can we all spare a thought for the social team at Lakeland.

I've just spilt coffee all over myself in a cafe because I tried to lift the cup with my left hand. Just in case you're wondering how things are going with my various aches and pains.

Getting lost when you've parked on street somewhere near the Mater Hospital is quite the experience.

So it turns out that at the ripe old age of 45 I have osteoarthritis in my hip so there's goes my dream of climbing Mount Everest. Joking aside a few years ago I got a notion in my head that for my 50th birthday I'd do a Camino. That's most likely off the table now.

MUM!!! WHY IS THERE A DOG THAT LOOKS LIKE ME!!!!

For my sanity I'm muting the words Trump, King and Epstein. If something really funny happens can someone tell me?

In a world of disappointing people Robert Redford always seemed like a good 'un. It's such a shame that he never got to make the film adaptation of The Monkey Wrench Gang.

Just been to a funeral where the minister gave thanks for "the life of Brian". Still trying to decide if it was deliberate or not.

Some classes I'm firing on all cylinders and feel like I could teach anyone anything. Tonight was not one of those nights.

I remember this concert like it was yesterday. We knew we were watching history. We also knew everyone but Bono felt a bit scundered by the whole thing. The roar of the crowd was something else. I'm not sure I'll ever feel such mass optimism again.

I've just seen a photo of a man draped in an England flag at the Southbank Centre food market. The striking thing to me was how empty of people the photo is. I remember that market as always very busy. It would be interesting to analyse the economic impact of that match compared to others.
