I cleaned out the pond, and these are my tenants in common who will be pleased with the upgrade of facilities!

Had a great bike ride earlier with mates along the canals to the west of Birmingham and through the Netherton Tunnel which is 2.7km long and pitch black. At one point a lower canal is traversed by an upper canal which is crossed by the railway, with the M5 over the top!

Rocket reminds us that the sofa is his domain now!

Lovely sailing for our annual Boxing Day bottle. If you’re looking for a new hobby this year, dinghy sailing is a surprisingly cheap sport and local sailing clubs are practically all just volunteers. Boats are cheap and don’t depreciate much and it’s just you and the wind and the water.

Can’t help but think that England and Australia should play a couple of one day matches today and tomorrow to give the 90 thousand odd fans who spent a fortune on tickets for days three and four. They’ll be gutted- shambles! #Ashes #Cricket

The handball rule is getting dangerous for footballers- look at the position of the Tottenham defenders arms as he’s hitting the ground - this is surely unnatural and must lead to shoulder injuries?

I’d like to see a remake of Downton Abbey with all the actors playing their opposite roles, it would be called Upside Downton Abbey and be a spectacular essay on perceptions of class.

Rocket is rocking his neckwear!!

I think the parents of Venezuelan soldiers will at least appreciate that Infantino gave them a few more days and a chance to send messages of love before the hostilities start. #peaceprize

Jeepers, why isn’t there an Ashes match this week? At this rate it will be April before the series finishes. #Getonwithit

Whenever Richard Tice posts about poppies, just remember that he and Oakeshott told you not to buy them last year.

What do you mean... "you've never seen this before"? Are you stark staring mad? Get your eyeholes around this NOW you FOOL! youtu.be/aHun58mz3vI?...

YOUNG PEOPLE. LISTEN UP. Today Nigel Farage said the government should cut the minimum wage for young people ...to “raise aspiration” and “boost business" It's £10ph FFS! Lower your pay so you’ll dream bigger DO YOU SEE IT NOW? Spread far & wide. bylinetimes.com/2025/11/03/n...

This is great stuff from Labour! Transformative policies put into action for military homes following years of neglect. Never again say the Tories stand up for our forces. They failed to act for 14 years. Only Labour will deliver these plans in full & give our forces the homes they deserve.

this graphic is everything. this is why people overestimate the prevalence of violent crime and terrorism and support punitive police measures. they are quite literally distorting reality in order to keep you scared of the wrong things.

Well played sir! Chapeau!

Ah, yes. Reform UK. "A movement built by real people." All smiling and clasping their hands in EXACTLY the same way. I'd love to see the prompts that generated this. <make them happier> <make some of them young> <make two of them - NO, don't want to upset Pochin - one of them black> ~AA

Labour demonstrating their commitment to ordinary people, living, working and contributing to Britain. Protection given to all Renters is wide ranging and is now Law. All renters will be safer.

Farage: epic grifter

Given FindOutNow polls keep making news it's worth saying a bit more about their methodology. Unlike other online pollsters it doesn't use a panel of people who've signed up to do polls. Instead they ask a small number of Qs to people playing the Pick my Postcode lottery. (Thread)

There is no need for a moral panic about the UK's welfare system. Far from perfect but recent discourse is nuts Spending is controlled, not spiralling Worklessness is near record lows My column www.ft.com/content/ee67...

Oh dear @itvx.com ! How the hell did Coldwater end up with such a low credibility mess at the end. FFS! Why did none of the actors just call the police and have the writer arrested? Waste of time- 2nd series- not credible.

Zack Polanski has called on Farage to resign over his tax affairs who is reportedly paid for his media appearances through a private company, meaning he pays corporation tax on income generated this way rather than income tax. Farage the tax hypocrite far worse than Rayner unreported in the media.

It's Friday. It's the shortest amount of time anyone has ever owned a trouser press. youtu.be/tNqn5bKmKNc?...

This is the content I’m here for! (And doggos, and otters, and kittehs too)

Wow, the Thursday Murder Club film on Netflix is about the worst thing I’ve ever seen on there- just awful. See if you can last more than 15 minutes.

Pepper is the goodest doggo!

The replies to this post, even on here, even moreso on X, are so depressing to me. We live in a world where cities have never been safer and a minority of people are denying themselves a lot of delightful experiences because they’ve gone mad online.

Motherfucking wind farms…

Thank god the Orange fella isn’t there!

Your sense of Englishness can only be increased by reading the fixture list for the FA Cup extra qualifying round, possibly play some patriotic music whilst reading the fixtures. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Game over!

Not even our cat…. But he adorable!!

Deep Joy, I made a Housemartin Cam with a spare Blink Camera!!

Spent a lovely morning in Malvern Cemetery tidying up 17 Commonwealth war graves.

Benji the Waitrose cat in Stratford on Avon is chilling in his own sandbox area and accepting strokes and scrumples!

An actual tragedy is playing out in real time on the pages of the Telegraph. If you are the praying kind then please pray for them.

Just a perfect game and result- drama and chaos - we love it #safc

In-depth 1k-word article on Tommy Watson's move to Brighton and the various factors behind his decision. Loads of information here - any RTs very much appreciated. #SAFC | #BHAFC

Nice touch Volkswagen!

Benji the Waitrose cat has a new job as a parking attendant.

It’s funny because it’s true!!

What ever happened to scoring a late goal, running into the goal- grabbing the ball and taking it back to the middle while you have momentum- VAR ruined it by killing the last 5 mins with a big gap!! #CarabaoCup

Bought a new Helicopter- fun times! £2!

#bafta why the flip are all these people who know about sound and vision leaning into the microphones on the podium - like the sound person didn’t know what kind of microphones to use on a MAJOR TV SHOW!! FFS!

Interesting info for the film, I’m glad they clarified that Chris Pine and Mark Knopfler will not be taking to the stage together!

Found a better method for learning Morse code!
