So, my home town is having a meltdown on social media because a 50 year old brick and concrete bus shelter is being taken down to make way for a modern replacement.

Facebook posts commenced. Several a day on the Community pages.

An online petition was started.

And now... This.

Anyone recently visited Caxton Gibbet services and lost a fairly heavy ring with an engraving inside?

Daylight Saving Explained:

So we’ve got a big 6-panel comic here! Let’s dig in.

The comic is titled ‘How to Tell if You Lost or Gained an Hour’

In the first drawing, we have the words “This is the Hour Hand” and below it is an anthropomorphic hour hand waving and saying ‘sup losers’

Next panel says “If the clocks go forward, it eats up that hour” and now our Hour character is chasing after an hour-sized wedge of a clock, screaming ‘Come Here!” while the hour goes, “AHH!”

Next panel goes “But if clocks go back, it also eats that hour…” and now the hour hand is eating another house screaming ‘AAH HA HA’ while that hour runs away saying ‘Not again!’

Next panel points out that ‘In short, the hour hand is a real dick’ and theres a drawing of the hour hand smoking a cig, giving the finger and saying ‘Fuck You’ -

Panel five continues the narration with “...and nobody knows what happened to the hour” and below this, there’s a policeman with a sniffer dog looking for a shallow grave in the woods.

Our last panel begins “...But someone will try and explain it to you…”
Below this we have one of those annoying people saying “So in Spring, the clocks spring…” but their words mean nothing because they’re talking to a grieving anthropomorphic clock, who’s missing that hour, shown by a missing wedge in their face and they’re saying “That will not bring my baby back!”

Anyway, I’m really sorry if you were actually hoping to find out if we gained or lost an hour here.

Happy #Caturday lovely phone family. How's everyone doing?
An important reminder for those in the UK. Our little hoggy friends are already struggling and need all the help they can get 🦔🦔🦔
Have a beautiful day 🌷

Screenshot of a social media post. Test reads: Hi Everyone in the UK, a reminder about disposing of pumpkins after Halloween Night . Please do NOT put these on the ground for Hedgehogs to eat in Gardens, Parks and Greenspaces. Pumpkin acts as a laxative and will cause hedgehogs to have serious diarrhea and dehydration. At this time of year it is vital that hedgehogs put on as much weight as possible to give them the best chance of surviving winter and hibernation. Help our prickly friends and local wildlife charities who help look after sick and injured hogs.

Happy #NoKings day to all our friends in the US!

Here's a parody of "Bui-Doi" (Miss Saigon) about the protests, sung initially from the perspective of ICE 'veterans'. Sorry about the ropey accents. 😜🎶

Here's a parody adaptation of the classic song "Walking in Memphis" by the soulful Marc Cohn, in which we address Donald Trump's arrival in the UK for his exciting historic second state visit.

It's called "Put Up Some Fences" 🎹🎶

Had a Facebook notification so logged in and turned into a modern day Sisyphus trying to block and tick "not interested" on all the utter shite sport, bantz, misogyny and far right accounts it was recommending, despite my having told them to fuck off a dozen times before. Fuck meta in all its forms.

Here's "The Game with the Names" - a home-made 🎶 parody of the legendary #ABBA song ("The Name of the Game"), but offering a satirical twist on the #Trump & #Epstein files story (so far) with a dose of disco lights and half-hearted hand gestures ... 🕺
