Don't drop phone! In fact put it to one side - a bath is sanctuary, not a time for scrolling

Caught two minutes of the BBC stuff on the news and feel sick at the idea of this pillar falling. Farage and the other cunts chomping at the bit will take the NHS next and we'll be sat listening to Third Reich FM hoping our minor injury infections take us sooner than later.

How did I make it this far, as someone who owns Four Tet tracks on vinyl, and had never heard this absolute banger before??!?

Glad I have. Now on repeat.

I keep on remembering some of the beautifuly delivered lines from #ThePhoenicianScheme and giggling to myself.

"Help yourself to a hand grenade"

I think it may be vying with GBH as my favourite Anderson.

Busy day for the dogfight training over North Yorkshire. I'm in the middle where the Eurofighters come up from Coningsby meet the training jets down from Leeming. Noisy buggers all of them*.

Saw this #RareButNobodyCares beauty on my walk down to the supermarket this evening.

Honestly if Putin can fall out with Lavrov then that must be the beginning of the end. This consummate bastard has been the rock of Russian foreign policy for years.

Earlier I checked what date it was today and thought to myself "That rings a bell for some reason. Must check my calendar later in case there's some school thing on."

So, it seems as if I didn't "Remember" after all.

I don't have a record player, but my 16 year old son does.

As a result, I wouldn't put it past him to buy records for me this Christmas.

I got accosted earlier by a Cuomo canvasser. Politely declined as I don't get a vote (damn Soros hasn't paid me enough!) but ventured I wouldn't lend even a hypothetical vote to a sort as rum as Cuomo.

Got followed to the Subway platform by an irate guy asking why instead I'd "support a communist!"
Yes, don’t disagree, and on the one hand I am being quite glib about Mamdani, but on the other it’s less than a quarter century since 9/11 and he’s not *hated* (just nowhere near *as* popular) nationally so the issues that are there can be negated to a degree.

This reminds me of the true tale that the US Air force measured thousands of airmen to find average measurements (leg ,arm,body, etc) to design the best cockpit.
It turned out that the aggregate of averages simply didn't exist in real life.
Positively this led to the development of adjustable seats.
If your argument is the "median voter" is closer to your preferences than whoever you're disagreeing with, you get to go sit in the corner wearing the cone of shame and can't write any New York Times op-eds for the next month.

Not defending him but I'm not sure what they're supposed to actually do with him now? He's unemployable, too old for retraining, everything he does have currently is from the public purse so the cries are to cut him off.

Is there some sort of "washed up aristos" sinking fund in Country Life?

My other half has the initials SS

She is setting up business as a sports therapist and is looking for branding.

I have of course suggested a skeleton (for the therapeutic bit). Maybe just a skull and some bones.

Combined with her initials. (Maybe like lightning!)

Oddly she isn't keen.

Irony klaxon on latest episode of #therestispolitics that those two, lovely, reasonable, handwringing centrists discussed the new Japanese PM Sanae Takaichi for five mins, including discussing the inherent sexism in Japan...

...yet never actually said her name once.

Selling something on the internet (a bicycle since you ask).

Wake up to an email from someone with a very ethnically English name. Amazing how a scammer can cock it up in such short sentences.
