A one-man mission to rescue the name 'Nigel' (which I've always disliked) from the gutter.
Bereft at the state of the world we're handing on to our kids. Sorry kids.
Retired. Former IT geek; still dabble.

Not Canadian - just love 'em to bits!

I'm guessing that they didn't test the lyrics in the non-U.S anglophones when they released Neil Diamond's delightful little song We.
"Love is all about wee", and "tying a knot in it" are the lyrics that send me over the edge. Definitely one for the funeral list, but being carried in or carried out?

Daughter, who in the past we could never persuade out of bed, is now, in her mid-twenties, a self-motivated, independent person on the final few klicks of her solo Camino/Camiño from Porto to Santiago di Compostela.
Could not be prouder. 👣🥾
Go girls, everywhere.

@thetwomatts.bsky.social - Vaclav Havel, let it not be forgotten, also saved Budvar (the original and best Budweiser) from being bought up and disappeared by its tasteless American namesake, after having been tipped off by CAMRA.

"I cannot see Republican Congressmen sitting on their hands on this; they're going to push back", says a sweet but naïve British astro-boffin talking about the evisceration of NASA funding.

January. When the Cheese You're Not Allowed To Touch Yet becomes the Cheese That Might As Well Be Thrown Away.
But it's *cheese*; you don't just do that to cheese.
Now involved in an escape and evasion exercise, hiding behind the tins of Tennant's in the booze fridge: no one's going to look there.

Listening to Radio 4 PM discussion on dinner party etiquette, and what to bring if not the usual wine, and someone said they might bring a bag of chips. My first thought was ”Who that? Alf Tupper?"
Second thought was, that ages me...
