Talking with friends last night about our long gone youth and what made us happy... As if to underline it's departure, I was reminded this morning of things that make me happy in middle age... Things like my herb and spice cupboard... Usually means cooking for people I love...💙

Who knew, it wasn’t patriotism, it was money. And maybe a choice slot on GB News.

These amateurs learning that if you lie to a good journalist, they’ll just fact check you. Nice work @birminghamdispatch.bsky.social

Labour are seriously repulsive
Hey Labour

Remember the majority of voters who believe in treating people decently and not stealing from those who've endured months and years of hardship fleeing war and persecution to seek a place of safety?

We're still over here 👋

I think the time has come to gather our closest friends, club together and buy a small island somewhere off Scotland and move there together. At least you guarantee nice neighbours. It's the only way to avoid racists and c*nts in general now...😬
“Hello. I am interested in buying a house.”

“What are your requirements?”

“Well, chiefly I would like to live in a house in the British Isles, with two bedrooms or more, in a village without any racist flags.”

“I’m sorry. I think you are being highly unrealistic with your search criteria.”

"Bold".

Unlike Emerald Fennell everyone on this @backlisted.bsky.social podcast read the entire book, not just the first bit.

Give it a listen. It's good.

I had this on vinyl back in the day, but, along with a couple of other albums I swapped it for a rather unusual coat I fell in love with... The coat is long gone now, obviously...
Damn my lifelong obsession with clothes...
