I'm not judging, but if I absolutely had to have some beer for an event at the weekend, I wouldn't be emailing at 8pm on a Thursday night asking about payment and delivery options.

Delighted to stumble upon this again. A brilliant song torn up and razed to the ground in a blaze of fury. youtu.be/Mojvh0burw8?...

And one from the archives:

I've eaten swan. It was tasty, but not worth the broken arm

Still waiting for answers from Reform over whether Paracetomol is OK to take for a tummy-ache after eating all that swan.

The escalator incident should be called Stairgate, which is appropriate for the manbaby reaction to a trivial incident.

SHAFT!

A bit late to the party, but maybe we could rebrand the flags as a welcoming party? Just mention to anyone flying them that they look really welcoming. So thoughtful of you to welcome all the new arrivals like this. Etc.

It's hard to believe that this was an utter deluge yesterday, but look where the jetty was first thing this morning (and we'd already brought it about 20m in on Saturday morning). The reservoir rose about 130cm in 24hrs.

Where the separate divisions of ANTIFA landed on the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944:

I have nothing to add that hasn't already been reply-quoted here.

The struggle continues.

I think I startled my humous when I took the lid off

He's wiv da oompah-loompahs now.

Fun evening at choir tonight learning a song in Catalan. I won't be performing it, but dammit we're a choir, and I will help beat the song into everyone's brain for the gig.

Just heard this on the radio, bought a copy. Can't remember the last time I did that (or had to because it isn't streamed on my service).

Excellent day out volunteering for the scouts yesterday, helping run a water activity day for 20 kids (sailing, rowing, rafting, bellboating) alongside a sailing club for 8 others. So spent the day on a reservoir in a powerboat, which was very enjoyable.

Less than 300 responses for this petition to get an official response from the government. Take two minutes to do something good today.

Tax aside, this is objectively a very sad end to Rayner’s political career: a teenage single mum from a deprived family who went onto be deputy prime minister. The right wing press detested her for not knowing her place. Their glee at her downfall will be palpable in tomorrow’s front pages.

Rayner is gone so where is the media outrage at Farage and his taxing dodging scams? Home bought in his partners name avoiding stamp duty, GB News pay via a company to avoid 40% tax rate on his 92k pay from them.

The guy with the local coffee shop (self-described as a black Portuguese foreigner, but is as English as me) has had enough of emboldened racists abusing him, and was moved to posting an all caps rant about it on social media. He's doing OK, but this is what he has to put up with every day.

I'm not judging, but if if absolutely had to have some beer for an event this weekend, I'd do something about it before 4pm on Thursday.

Rep. Jamie Raskin tears into Nigel Farage as a "far-right pro-Putin politician" and a "Donald Trump sycophant and wannabe".

Nigel Farage looks uncomfortable as Jamie Raskin uses his opening statement to absolutely demolish him

Antibes happen to be driving from Hereford to @rosscider.bsky.social in the next couple of hours? The taxi company I was going to use has just let me down and taking the bus will severely limit my time at the festival!

maybe if we sang “Free Palestine” to the tune of “Sweet Caroline” we could get more white people on board

This is so good, from a journalistic pov but also it's managed to make me laugh when the subject matter at hand is dark. Famtastic door knocking, boots on the ground reporting. manchestermill.co.uk/manchester-f...

The BBC is running an article about four ways to keep your energy bill down. Surprisingly "Renationalise the energy companies" wasn't mentioned.

Well, this is lovely. You can buy copies direct from me if you like. DM to find out how. Or I don't mind if you order them from Amazon. I get about the same cut and I don't have to schlep to the post box.
