Yeah yeah you watch Squid Games and the Traitors. TV main event in January is #juiniorbakeoff and rooting for the one or two working class northern kids who don’t stand a chance against all the frightfully posh overconfident ones who sound like Rees-Mogg offspring

That gingerbread man in the crowd at the #pdcdarts is unsettling. #darts

#Christmas serves up an annual reminder that the best British prime minister of the last 25 years is @hughgrant1.bsky.social in Love Actually

Not in #schnauzergang but here’s my schnauzer/poodle mix #schnoodle

Ben Stokes declaring when he’s at the crease on 49 not out. What a leader he is. #cricket #nzveng

Tell you what, Dianne Buswell deserves all the credit she’s getting and more. How the hell do you teach a blind guy to dance like that?! Amazing #strictly

Flippin’ eck. Didn’t take long. First bot follower.

Annual reminder as you start to plan your #christmasmovies viewing: watch Love Actually immediately followed by Die Hard so you get to see Alan Rickman thrown from a building for cheating on Emma Thompson. You’re welcome!

Are all social media platforms destined to eventually descend into an absolute hellscape of hatred and all that’s terrible in the world? Will #bluesky be different? We can only hope I s’pose

Meet Badger, my 3yr old schnoodle (schnauzer/poodle cross). Don’t be fooled by cuteness, he’s a proper handful. Demands steak while I eat beans on toast

International break weekend is rubbish

Have disappeared down an #80smusic rabbit hole tonight thanks in no small part to @kerry10.bsky.social

Early take away - the ‘You don’t remember me do you?’ bit on Hot Chocolate’s ‘It Started with a kiss’ is a masterpiece in conveying a broken heart. Honestly. It’s brilliant.

That is all.

The cynical old ba$tard in me thinks #bbcchildreninneed is largely a group of millionaires telling folk at home who can barely afford to heat their homes to ‘dig deep’…. But my word fair play to Paddy McGuinness, incredible #childreninneed

Good here innit!?! Getting followed by normal decent human beings instead of bots & shill accounts is nice. Having a timeline full of welcomes and positivity instead of racist nutjobs is flippin’ lovely too. We all remember when most of the internet was like this, right?

Well…. I’ve gamely battled on over on ‘the other site’,
blocking the bots and craziness but enough’s enough. Let’s get to grips with this place. Gently as we go. Vibe seems much warmer

Well! This is nice!
