Aberystwyth based, one time member of Little Green Wheels, music, good food and countryside. Here for some civilised comment, debate and observation. I don’t take many things too seriously.
@exeter.ac.uk I thought this had already been evidenced by @equusonthebuses.bsky.social in his discovery of Huw Davies of Aberystwyth. news.exeter.ac.uk/faculty-of-e...

Well what the actual am I supposed to do with this then? A day with Prince Andrew … Will there be a reissue?

Some, previous unpublished I believe, photos of Genesis, that I have in my collection of 35mm negatives. They are not dated. Possibly 1981/82? Any ideas @almurray.bsky.social @genesisnews.bsky.social ? For what it’s worth, I retain commercial rights, but feel free to have for personal enjoyment.

On the 200th anniversary of the foundation of London University, and 63 years after the Beatles recorded 10 tracks in one day, the disappointment of my failure to get Oasis tickets will be assuaged. Et tu @equusonthebuses.bsky.social? @almurray.bsky.social

Wondered which 4-letter word to use, but erred on side of caution. I feel like doing a Bowie at the Freddie Tribute Concert.

I think we need more Poutine in the UK. This is one I rustled up in 2020 following the cancellation of a holiday in Canada. It really is rather nice, but cheese curds are not readily available and so it is a rare treat. I wonder if Tim Hortons could add it to their menu?

Wrapping books is nice & easy. Luckily, mum has asked for mostly books this Christmas!
Trying to paper match wherever possible. @katemossewriter.bsky.social , easy; @peterjamesauthor.bsky.social, less so.
Christmas jumpers upsets the red and gold theme. 🤔
Seasonal greetings to one and all. 🎄

Bread with no butter anyone? #moistgate Who would have thought that something as simple as moist bread would be enough to keep a Conservative leader at bay. I wonder if Kemi would be interested in buying my new bread drying device as seen on Dragon’s Den…Bargain at £50 or £90 for two?

Perhaps the Government could implement measures to limit the powers & manage the behaviours of parking firms. Parking needs to be managed, but can be so done in a more civilised way. Perhaps a truly independent body to process appeals would be a start, funded by a levy on the companies

Over in the haterverse, more misinformation. Rather than checking facts, happy to use interpretation by The European Conservative & oblivious that the guidance was 1st published in 2015 & last updated in March 24. Clarkson then regurgitates and seems to be Elmo’s parrot.

Yesterday’s farming protests made me look up congestion charge for agricultural vehicles in London. They are exempt…a potential boom in London tractor sales beckons.

I can’t recall being blocked by many, but back in 2015, I was frustrated by British Telecom’s lack of progress on connecting my hamlet to fibre broadband. How was I to know that @bt was not BT, but Grammy Nominated Trance Pioneer, Brian Transeau, and not British Telecom’s customer service’s account.

Sounds, although a local music shop also stocked the free monthly “making music" which was really good. A shame I didn’t keep my copies. Your post has, however, sent me on a little journey and I am pleased to find that someone has taken the time to archive these online.

I ventured over to have a look over in Elon’s #fightclub only to find that his pet AI system is recommending news for me based upon misinformation largely spread on X. There is a disclaimer suggesting users verify content but that seems unlikely to happen.
