Thanks, that was actually a new one to me. Who needs crackers at Xmas with material like that?
Spock, fascinated. I bet Bill Withers would have laughed. “Haaaa haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”

It seems now that the reason for the late start and some dropouts was actually a dying external hard drive which was not in use but which was doing something nasty to the USB bus. It has now been kicked off the bus and things seem alright now! 🤞 #RadioOnTheEdge

The graphics for pet products on Amazon are often jaw-dropping, aren’t they.
“The cat sat on the mat”? No, it had to be superimposed. The dog didn’t want to sit there either.

Christmas fever has hit Amazon…
A very convincing image of a mat and a tiny cat and a tiny dog. A festive hat is floating in front of the top of the dog’s head.

Avian police would like to interview this cat that was seen here two days ago.

“What..?”
A black cat with a white feather stuck to its face. Somehow. Maybe the wind blew it there. Yes.

I was surprised, so took a look at the ‘Ashes to Ashes’ video. The cliffs look nothing like those in the area of Beachy Head. The book cited by the article is surely in error.

A quick Web search shows that the location is often given as Pett Level beach, Winchelsea, and that does look like a match.

“Sitooterie”—also spelled “sitootery”—was a new term to me, but yes, it’s in the dictionary! #wotd

I have found only a _few_ references on the Web to “sitineries”, one of which was in reference to a summer house.
“Sitootery” on the ‘Countdown’ board.

Pictured: a ridiculous headline giving rise to a “third state“ between funny and unfunny. Observe the mutation as the meme struggles to become viable comedy.
