If someone has travelled thousands of miles, paying everything they own to an exploitative people smuggling gang, risking their life in a deadly channel crossing, I do not want to be the person who takes their last valuables – a mother’s necklace? A gift? – from them. And nor should the rest of us.

I haven't been here in a while. Is it more entertaining than it used to be? Are we all enjoying the Clinton-Trump story?

A little reminder that in the UK the word trump is a verb and it means to fart.

What would happen if His Majesty’s Government stopped paying rent to His Majesty? Would His Majesty take His Majesty’s Government to court over the debt?

Please help & RT. Has anyone seen this very confused lady wandering around Washington at all? She answers to the name 'Liz' & her carers are very, very worried about her. She was last seen shouting at cars. Please don't mention crashing the economy or lettuces as this tends to upset her. Thank you 👍

Concerned I am going to become a local councillor when I'm older. I am that person who photos and reports graffiti and potholes. Also I have obtained a new tree and brand new children's play park for my road. Excitement in your mid-30s is different to mid-20s.

One Christmas I had tons of empty boxes to get rid of so I put a £5 voucher I had bought my office secret Santa - who I hated - in an envelope in a box within a box within a box. 15 boxes in total. Apparently he was fucking livid by the time he'd unwrapped it all.

As a surprise for the Mrs I bought a Clone a Willy kit. Could not keep myself hard in the cold moulding agent and it looked liked a vibrating turd by the time it was finished. She got books for Christmas instead.

Wife was determined to have an unusual name for our newborn, I suggested Ulla and she loved it, so that's her name. Not because of any Scandinavian links, but because I bloody love the War of the Worlds LP and I can't wait to sing it out like a Martian every time I call for her.

![A cartoon by Stephen Collins. Script as follows:
1
THE SCENE: is BBC Television centre or wherever that is these days. HARRY STYLES is getting out of a limo to enter a studio. An autograph-hunting FAN accosts him.
Also, a DATE STAMP appears ‘on screen’, like it used to do in the X-files, reading:
OCTOBER, 2024: Maidstone Studios, England
FAN 1:
That’s Harry Styles!
FAN 2 [Approaching Harry]:
Can I have a selfie, Harry?
2
FAN:
What are you doing at Maidstone Studios on this finbe day in mid October, Harry?
3
HARRY STYLES:
Why, I’ve come here in mid-October to record ‘Jools Holland’s New Year Hoote-‘
4
*FSHW*
[Harry Styles is suddenly vaporised by a LASER BEAM]
5
[We see the culprit; a hi tech flying DRONE has zapped Mr Styles to death. The drone has a camera eye on the front of it]
6
[Cut to: JOOLS HOLLAND in his Hootenanny lair, watching a screen which has just alerted him to the elimination of Styles]
[Legend on screen]:
ARTIST ELIMINATED
HOLLAND:
Goddamn it
7
HOLLAND:
Why can’t they keep their mouths SHUT?
8
HOLLAND:
Tim Davie!
TIM DAVIE [Director General of the BBC]:
Y-yes Jools?
HOLLAND:
Who’ve we got left for this year?
10
TIM DAVIE:
The Boomtown Rats, one of Sister Sledge and Marc Almond
HOLLAND:
Almond *again*?
11
TIM DAVIE:
We’re running out of artists to call, sir…
M-must we keep killing… so many…?
HOLLAND:
You know the rules, Davie. The secret of the Hootenanny must be protected at all costs. All who divulge it…
12
HOLLAND [close up on his evil face, eye twitching]:
Must be eliminated](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4m3we4apbjayclzcnhwe3pfp/bafkreibtcfluywrhxbnpooa5dcxr526hq474qcbio63di5dbctszzacezq@jpeg)

Happy Winter Solstice!
These photos were taken with a pinhole camera I made from a beer can and left out from Summer to Winter Solstice - a 6 month exposure.
Bottom line = Winter Solstice. Top line = Summer Solstice.
The lines are the Sun moving across the sky w/some reflections. No line = clouds

Three cut price cheesecakes in the supermarket last week. I love cheesecake. Popped them in the freezer and take a slice out each night, to defrost in the fridge. I've been having black coffee and cheese cake for breakfast every day since. Glorious! This must be how Oprah lives.

Broke my wife's favourite mug which was a souvenir from a visit to Disneyland. Instead of telling her I took a day off at work, took the train to Paris and bought a new one.
