Working in criminal rehabilitation & being a Russian speaker, a colleague has jokingly asked if I want to go and prepare #NathanGill for his well deserved sentence. I've been saying for a long time that 100 years ago that Farage et al would be executed for treason.

Sole claim to fame is 30 years ago I was an instructor on a course that Russ Brand's BFF was on. I was checking off the attendees, asked him his name "Everyone calls me Bear" - which got him stunned looks from everyone in the vicinity, followed by "Fuck off. Says here your named Edward" Total knob

My dad with his parents.
Both my paternal grandparents were "financial immigrants", from Ireland. Grandad joined the British Army in 1935. 81 years ago today, he was wounded at Oosterbeek & became a POW. He survived, & served until 1969. Dad joined the Royal Navy in 1956 & served until 1986.

Walkers Crisps.
I like them. They taste lovely... BUT...
the packets are the wrong colour.
Salt and Vinegar BLUE. NOT GREEN.
Cheese and Onion. GREEN. NOT BLUE.
Walker's colour coding is a crime against nature and humanity.

My mum bought me a few of these loo rolls a few years ago. I break one out every now and then just for my own amusement.

Thinking about throwing my hat in the ring for this pope job.
Dad was an Irish Catholic- a Jesuit, which explains my ridiculous middle name of Ignatious.
Mum was a German Jew.
I think it's time we had the "Oi Vay Maria" on Sundays/Sabbath

Here I am again, Operation No 20 on my left leg. It's frankly ridiculous now.
Different ward, better view, mainly because there's not a bloke masturbating in the room opposite which has to be an improvement. Removing the spacer in my leg, trying for a rebuild today. Wish me luck....

After 4 months in hospital with MRSA,sepsis, & some rather nasty surgery I am grateful to my oldest friends for looking after me while I recover.
I'm extremely grateful that this is the view from my bed for last 2 days. Pretty good medicine in my opinion.

Been listening to "Chain Reaction" on BBC4extra. I found the 1st episode painful, Jenny Éclair audibly annoying Jimmy Carr. This episode with @mrchrisaddison.bsky.social and Rebecca Front is listening to a chat between very good friends. Great radio.

That's the number for the Porters Lodge at Jesus College, Oxford
Phone them on Christmas morning. Ask "is that Jesus?" When they answer "yes", sing Happy Birthday to them. Trust me, they find it funny every time...

I've spent the last 2 days delirious with MRSA. Incredibly tired, low mood. Christmas in hospital isn't going to be a bundle of fun

Speaks volumes that Farage wants the woman who threw a milkshake over him to go to prison, but he wants those convicted of crimes during the #FarageRiots to walk free.

I thought Bluesky would be better when it comes to connecting, albeit digitally. It's not. It's great if you had/have a following on X, but here? Just another bit of bandwidth. If anything, I feel more isolated.

My engagement has definitely dropped on the Other Place, and I've got less than 10% followers here compared to Twatter, but it does just seem more pleasant here.

Men - think how you'd feel if someone behaved inappropriately towards your mum, your sister, your daughter. Treat all women how you'd like the women in your life to be treated. If you must behave like an arsehole towards women, don't then blame those women.

"Over 65, pregnant, diabetic? Get your flu jab now"
If you are over 65, pregnant and diabetic, I think you need more than a flu jab.
