british fan chat
![cartoon for the guardian by Stephen Collins - script as follows:
[Scene is a darkened LOFT. Amongst the boxes and junk are FOUR KNACKERED OLD FANS - three tower fans and one circular, with cracked grey plastic and buttons missing. One fan, TOWER FAN 1, is a bit taller than the others, and is addressing them]
1
TOWER FAN 1:
Right lads, get ready.
2
TOWER FAN 1:
This is our time.
3
TOWER FAN 1:
The time when we remember who we are, and why we’re here.
4
TOWER FAN 1:
We are the four crap fans in a British person’s loft,
and we are here to make absolutely no difference whatsoever.
5
TOWER FAN 1:
I know what you’re
thinking, lads:
6
TOWER FAN 1:
Surely this will be the year they finally replace us?
7
TOWER FAN 1:
Our plastic’s gone all brown... I haven’t oscillated since 2018...
8
TOWER FAN 1:
Dave here sounds like a spitfire and blows like a sad cat’s sigh…
TOWER FAN 2:
Cheers mate
9
TOWER FAN 1:
But no. These people are British, and every year, they forget the sun exists.
By the time they remember,
new fans will cost *four million pounds* on Amazon.
10
TOWER FAN 1:
So we’ll be back down there... shovelling thick air across the moaning faces of a species that cannot comprehend the concept of air conditioning, or even just closing the curtains when it’s hot out...
11
TOWER FAN 1:
...while they incessantly bang on about normally hot countries which this country is now temporarily a bit hotter than.
12
[The loft hatch opens and a person comes up the ladder]
PERSON:
APPARENTLY IT’S HOTTER THAN GREECE, LISA](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4m3we4apbjayclzcnhwe3pfp/bafkreidbpfu2ioghspjcg4xitzv655jzjwp5lgxk5hi3ag7sechgh222ze@jpeg)

Is anyone else getting multiple porn accounts following them each and every day? Becoming a real pain blocking them all. I hope they get this sorted @bsky.app

Day 11 with Ollie. First trip to the vet, not a sound when he had his jab and he also happily ate his worming tablet without any fuss

They say money can’t buy you love. Well it can’t buy you intelligence or common sense either.

It didn’t last long. Now getting multiple porn accounts following me each day. Why can’t they stop this centrally as they are easy to spot. Blocking them all is becoming a pain and makes this places much less enjoyable @bsky.app @support.bsky.team

Another of the #progressivevoices to amplify for 2025 - Anna Kendrick - who donated her fees for her brilliant directorial debut to victim support charities
My first film of the year was Anna Kendrick’s Woman of the Hour - hugely recommended - an incredibly strong directorial debut with a powerful and horribly relevant message too

The 1st photo taken just before 1pm as the men's New Year's Ba was about to be thrown up. 2nd a screenshot from livestream about 3 1/2 hours later as the game goes on up the top end of the town. It's a mad event really...which is why I spent over 5 1/2 hrs outside today watching 🫣 #Kirkwall #Orkney

A persistent misconception about summer 2024 in the UK is that it was wetter than normal. A remark on the 'wet summer' was even made in London's New Year fireworks display!
Yet, for most regions (and most of the population) it was notably drier than normal!

Could 2025 be the year we finally start to understand dark energy?
A map of 31 million galaxies created by the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument will be released next year, and could shed light on the origins of this force
