I’ve done many difficult things in my life but turning a hank into wound ball to use is about the hardest. I spent 3 hours undoing knots yesterday. Gonna stick to cheap ready balled yarn in future 🧶😂

“I don’t really eat sweet things” says I to the dentist yesterday. Yet here I am today, smearing Nutella on an Almond croissant.

Is there only Kirk and Sulu left now? We’re not old enough for this to be the case!

I love this. When it comes to the next UK elections, learn the lessons from Brazil.

Hello! It doesn’t cost anything to repost but it helps me spread the word about my small business. My online shop is full of bold & colourful prints, homewares and cards. I’m also available for freelance design work and art licensing. gailmyerscough.co.uk

I love this. Oxford Street used to be an awful place to shop but from today, much nicer.

People are tired of being miserable and negative.

My daughter is having her birthday sleep over. Their playlist is Backstreet Boys, Spice Girls and The Cranberries. It’s been all I can do not tell them that Zombie is about the Warrington bombing. But they’re Dutch and 9 so I’ll have to explain Warrington and then the Troubles so I’ll be quiet 😂

Snow White rerun being shown at a Leeds cinema when I was about 2 or 3. My nan, born in the 1930s, was delighted to be able to show it to me as she had first seen/loved it. Did not go well. I was terrified of the evil Queen and had to be carried screaming out of the cinema.

I've organised my daughter's sleep over party on the weekend that the clocks go back. I've been a parent too long to make an error so grave. FML.

Absolutely tragic. Thoughts with Christine Flack as she navigates another unbearable situation.

A sad but perfect metaphor for the Trump Administration. wapo.st/3WF2YQo

He isn’t helping but he’s cute so I’m working around him. The massive blanket is nearly finished. . 🧶 #crochet

Wish someone would release patches for my vulnerabilities

I feel like the illegality of fireworks in the Netherlands is being treated with the same seriousness as the illegality of cannabis. NYE will be the traditional war zone.

This just came on after something else I was watching on YT. PJ is just magnificent. A time machine to the 90s.

Chaos in Washington The new Private Eye is out now.

No one was ever prosecuted for this. No one saw a court room or got the sack. In the most British tradition of this sort of thing, it was all made to quietly go away. See also Hillsborough. RIP little ones.

I can't imagine embarrassing myself like Tommy did. I hope he learned today.

America now has second-generation school shooting survivors nypost.com/2026/10/17/u...

What’s the best way for people to donate towards the lost olive harvest in the West Bank? I dont want anyone to go hungry thanks to the settler thugs. Registered charities only, thanks :)

For those unaware, John Cleese has fully endorsed Restore Britain

Deleted my other post as this is absolutely everywhere and Walliams is wasting his cash.

People need to understand that the only reason Trump backed down on SpaceX and Starshield so quickly is that he got push back right away, politically and from Ukraine. He is a bully and a coward. Stop criticising Zelensky for standing up to him.

lol Scaramucci on the other site:

Did not even last a full Scaramucci.... the shame of it!

Omg Kenny reacting to the traitors is my highlight so far 😂 #celebritytraitors

I really don’t want Hannah to go and yet I think she is going #celebritytraitors

Jerry is walking mental decline or she’s always been absolutely batshit #celebritytraitors

James Acaster looks haunted on this episode #thetraitors #traitorsuk

I hate AI and then I read stuff like this and I think "maybe today, it's ok"

Farage might find it easier to root out the good apples as most of them seem to be bad

I love it when Farage criticises the RNLI as their donations go through the roof when he does.

Andy Crane, Craig Charles (at the height of his Red Dwarf fame but before "crack in a taxi") and newly dead Kerry from Neighbours came to our school to do this.

If you listen closely you, can hear Cliff Burton howling from beyond the grave.

2001 made a record, and this is great!

I must be hallucinating all those anti war songs like One and the rest of their 1980s output. Sit the fuck down old man. Lars already did your band enough damage 20 years ago to last it a lifetime.

It's almost a joke at this point, but the entire story of Mamdani's mayorship really has been "it turns out we can just turn off the orphan grinding machine, the switch was right there the whole time."

More of this wholesomeness on Bluesky please

As I am not bound by UK sub judice rules, I shall enjoy saying this: I hope Russell Brand gets exactly what he deserves in generous portions. Unless he has managed to get a jury full of MAGA Christians, I am yet to meet anyone whose impression of Brand is anything but "flamboyant sex pest"

Finally, an AI take I can get fully behind.
