Forget about titles and bits of paper. Andrew Windsor should never be seen on camera again. So no attendance at events that would be recorded and watched by the public. Ever.

Drew Struzan. If there was a film poster ever worth sticking on your wall this was the guy who created it.

Gaza & The West Bank

Days of violence: 36,000
Days of peace: 3

Let's see how it goes before pinning medals to anyone's over-inflated chest.

Stephen Yaxley-Lennon (alias "Tommy Robinson") has been promoting a brand called "UTK". These items are made by Nation Wear Ltd, in Bangladeshi Muslim sweat shops. The company is run by a Turkish national who lives in Turkey.

Not a British worker in sight.

How very Globalist of him 😂

Watching "The Hack" on ITVX. Have no idea what the plot is as it seems to jump randomly between multiple plots. One minute it's about phone hacking and the next it's some sort of police drama. Confusing. Dull.

One of the organisers of the wave of flag humping is Lee Twamley.

In 2016, he was stopped at the border. In the back of his Ford van were four Vietnamese people he was smuggling into the UK. He was convicted for being part of an illegal immigration gang.

I've been asking @asklumo.proton.me how to backup my Docker/Portainer system. So far it has invented a "proton-drive-sync" command line system and an "official Proton Drive Client for Linux".

When pushed it finally admitted it made them up including all the code examples.

Unfortunately the Israeli plan is for a greater Israel. It always has been. They haven't just changed their mind. Certainly not Netanyahu. Events will occur to allow the plan to proceed. Illegal settlement building will continue as it has every single day for decades 😥

I've had a 3D printer for 10 years now. I've never printed a Benchy.

There. I've confessed. No more skeletons in my wardrobe.

No real surprise. Reform (just like Brexit) is a Russian backed project full of traitors.

Imagine being so thick and Republican that you ban "Fahrenheit 451" without a single clue that you are registering 11 on the irony scale.

This scammer so loved my brutal response on his first try he just kept ringing me back for more. I literally ran out of put downs so had to switch to music. He only stayed for 2 songs.

Another User Interface gem. This time from Trainline. This time the requirement to enter a password you don't know in order to reset a forgotten password.

Rayner has to step down. It's fairly obvious she would have to pay the second home stamp duty. I could have told her that.

When I briefly owned two houses I had to pay it.

You get it refunded if you revert to single ownership within 2 years of the purchase.

Most UK caravan owners don't realise they must display a trailer plate when travelling abroad. This isn't your car plate. It's a separate number for the caravan. Government sites are out of date. A confused mess. While people are getting pulled and fined by the police.

Spotted on my local selling page. This is what happens when you buy garbage from Temu. Buy a safari canvas style tent. Get a large inflatable carrier bag. What a waste of money, never mind global resources.

I wandered past the Raspberry Pi pop-up shop in Cribbs Causeway, Bristol. I may have purchased some items.

Welcome to the AI nightmare of lazy, useless chat bots.

To change your email address on Halfords. com it tells you to "Chat with an advisor". When you do that the advisor tells you to chat to an advisor. It has the self awareness of a potato.

If anyone from #Halfords reads this please sort it.

Despite opting out of having my TV "monitored" by #Barb (whoever they are) they keep turning it on. So opting out is just an illusion. Probably illegal but hey who is going to stop them?

This surveillance system wasn't mentioned in the #Samsung advert.

Special shout out to South Gloucestershire Council for changing my waste bin collection day without telling me. Including the green bin which I pay extra for.

Fine work. Looking forward to the council being replaced with an AI system 👍
