; Gary Lineker "could not keep quiet" - by which the BBC mean that he DARED to have the humanity to oppose the Israeli genocide in Gaza and refused to be silenced by a broadcaster intent on whitewashing war crimes & throwing out accusations of "anti-semetism" at anyone who refuses to toe the line. 🙄

And while we're on the subject of music, a Hungarian expression for commenting on the quality of someone’s singing is erotikus a hangod, bassza a fülem. It means “your voice is erotic, it fucks my ears”

'Come over to Bluesky', they said. 'It's better', they said. I have hundreds of followers yet I feel like I'm talking into a void (hence the handle change). Time to go.

I don’t know why people find Dry January hard. Mine is going great. So far today I’ve had 3 glasses of dry white wine, 2 pints of dry cider and a dry martini.

Well, speaking for myself, 2024 can go fuck itself. At the moment, I'm not sure 2025 is going to get off to a great start either. I still hope that we can all have a much more peaceful year.

My favourite example of nominative determinism is the window cleaner called Mr Bitt. Followed closely by the two authors of a paper on the urethral syndrome called J Splatt and D Weedon.

During World War 1, fighting temporarily ceased in the trenches for Christmas and some German troops put up a sign meaning God with us – GOTT MIT UNS. The British troops then crawled across no-man’s land and wrote their own message on the German sign – WE GOT MITTENS TOO
