It's been a while since Steve Bell made me smile , but as a terrible lefty kid I used to love "If" (even if I didn't understand all of it) . I had the original of this frame cut from the paper above my desk for years . I just liked the composition and brutal absurdity #comics

Bluesky has four kinds of users.

Well the sun's come which is a start

Bluesky has four kinds of users.

I remember Bernard Levin claiming he liked to travel light and would tear out the page of his book once he'd read it. Think Bill Drummond claimed to do something similar, but then again he would, wouldn't he.

Heard someone the other day describe the likes of IG as "creating memories for other people"

"Claude" is such frou-frou name for such a malignant organisation.

Make a band edible Elbow Macaroni

The rest of world : "let's have an election this time next month " America: "let's never stop having elections. Let's wang on about them FOREVER , with endless "primaries" and randomly saying gubernatorial like it's a real word"

I only have some of the A4 books from the 80's love a collected edition

I see they are still punting Johnny Depp's A Christmas Carol sorry "Ebenezer" as a break from the 100's of previous adaptations. #filmsky

I do like how folk who don't know the name of their own mayor, are experts on Brazilian politics

Quick, quick one of the 6 comedians who appear on 8 out 10 Cats/ Mock the Week/Taskmaster and EVERY PODCAST is going to be interviewed on the radio....

Presumably by pressing "translate" on the original post

Yep always raises the spirits, one of my favourite movie moments. Have begun to think maybe Americans just have really rubbish clubs and they are all verité

A beautiful five-hour storm-watch at Heysham Head, Lancashire this morning. Here we see a flock of Shelduck battling into a westerly gale. #birds #wevva

I know railing against folk waving around tiny furry mics on clips is a pet peeve of this corner of BS, so I enjoyed this design commentator playfully/knowingly using a Philippe Starck lemon squeezer as a hand mic. 🙂

Today.

@petebrownbeer.bsky.social took me sen t'pub . They had mucky fat on't Tap'ole bar. Some very tall tales being told n'all

One of my favourite songs ever

This week in @thetimes.com, eight of the best pubs in Kent! The product of a week's camping and 35 pub visits. These are the best I found. (Paywall) www.thetimes.com/life-style/f...

Good morning 2. Water has returned to the New Forest

I love the way on my T/L the moment rain splattered on the window this afternoon, everyone went pell mell for their casseroles and started turning out dumplings , toad in the hole and probably Sussex Pond puddings. We're a nation with suet in our veins

The Reading is on the wall for the Reds 😞 #BFC

Early front page of the paper that became The Independent.

It’s 11-13 degrees outside today, depending on where you are in the UK. This is also the recommended serving temperature range for cask ale. So this is my annual invitation to anyone who thinks cask is served “warm” to go outside in your summer clothes and let us know how you get on.

This was great fun on a rainy afternoon my favourite sort of podcast; knowledgeable people enthusing about things they love and having a bit of a laugh while doing it.

Excellent I still think the RNLI/British Legion poppy should be a thing too

Look where else, do you get shows like this about such major important figures. TV has given up on arts programming.

Case in point about the value of 4Extra, just turned on the kitchen radio and up pops Adrian Scarborough reading "Candide" by Voltaire www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

They are feckin' spreading, there's another one two houses up from me! It's like living in a shite Shelob's lair .
