I walk, and draw and write badly.

My hiking journals aren’t very interesting, but they’re very me.
Pinned
And for more details, here is my #TGOC25 #journal

I don’t know why but I just couldn’t get going on my TGOC log until now. I’m finally getting going though. #hiking #journalling #TGOC25

Nerds unite - this bollocks by 'their party' makes my skin itch
Okay, I can't let this one go. I live in Ireland, not the UK, but the use of this image by a supposedly socialist party is so stupid and offensive, I'm going to get stuck in.

Let me explain to you why any experienced illustrator/designer could have stopped you making so many miserable mistakes. 1/

Heads up - it's been a long wait this year but don't be complacent - looks like proper winter conditions are finally arriving on the hills. Think about the kit you need and remember to check the MWIS Mountain Weather Information Service or @metoffice.gov.uk mountain forecasts.

Bookies manager of 6 years here.
- They do not support mental health, they enable problem gamblers. “Responsible gambling” is a myth.
- They moved gambling addiction to being a healthcare problem in 2022
- Penny machines? Not the same, not even close.
- Completely agreed on Point 4.
You may have missed this gem yesterday. From which we learn that:

1. Betting shops are really good for the mental health of isolated people.
2. Most drug-takers are not a problem.
3. Kids put tuppence in slot machines in the hope of getting rich.
4. Farage probably has a gambling industry donor.

Trump is suing for something that happened over a year ago, which is longer than the statute of limitations in UK for defamation. Obviously it's a political stunt, and Trump knows Starmer isn’t going to tell Trump to shove it up his arse #bbc

Well, this is a bit of a change! Off to The Smoke for a freebie night to an IT award’s ceremony with a slap up meal and a nice hotel. I’ll try and squeeze in a bit of touristy things tomorrow (I have walked 10 miles around London last time I was here).

People may criticise the BBC but name me any other broadcaster that would launch live immersive episodes of W1A and The Thick of It in the same week without any advance notice. That's visionary stuff.

Really, I’m a sucker for these type of threads, and this one’s another banger.
It's Tuesday. It's November. And it's been awhile. So lets tell the story about the eel, the scheming wife who ate it, and the talking magpie that ratted her out!

That's right! It's time for the eel tale from the 1370s blockbuster hit, "The Book of the Knight of the Tower." 1/5

The best response that the BBC could give to Donald Trump's threat to sue is simply to refer the orange blimp to the reply given in the case of Arkell v Pressdram

“It’s impossible to reboot Bond” says production team who decided Bond first got his licence to kill in the 21st Century, as Daniel Craig, then got incredibly old within two films and was being put out to pasture, but also had Sean Connery’s 1960s car.

It’s Bond. Just do whatever the fuck you like.

Anyone want a SHINY Klimt my buns? :)
I was curious after doing a similar commission, so hand finished one of the Klimt my buns prints with gold ink to give it the full Gustav style Midas touch. Might do a limited run.

If anyone would like it, shout up BUN ME below

Britain is a rainforest nation.

Britain’s PM is currently in a rainforest in Brazil.

Why isn’t he drawing the links between tropical & temperate rainforests, supporting Brazil’s fund, and setting out plans to restore Britain’s rainforests?
