Now here’s a ‘politician’ who obviously has his country’s needs at his heart. Loses an election and then immediately fucks off the minute he’s been rumbled. *Shitler in the US take note. This is how you do it. Why wait???? 🤨

The Great Village Green Pearl Necklace Mystery - Part 3 ! 😲 The necklace has reappeared wrapped round a don’t park your bloody car up here sign on the village green. As shadows lengthen in the late autumn sun, Lady Crabthrobber’s pride and joy is now dangling in the wind. But for how long? 🫣

I wouldn’t eat that muck now if they paid me £4.50 to take it away. What was once the chocolate I loved above all other has become a lump of waxy rubbish. Good riddance to it.

Here we go - bloody power gone off at home. Slightest breeze & it flickers & goes. Wes Streebling may be an annoying itch who looks & sounds as though he gets jobs by wandering in & out of the wrong lift, but having 3 days of baked beans & bog rolls will help. Though I draw the line at Marvel 🤮🤢

Was that the same security services you dumped to visit ‘ex’ KGB colonel Alexander Lebedev and party in Umbria just after the Novichok Salisbury attack? Or the same security services whose advice you defied to put his son Evgeny in the House of Lords? Those security services?

Just spoke to them & they’ve told me that the £138 is calculated assuming that the current bill is included as part of the monthly DD - this would then pay this bill and build up credit for the next one in 6 month’s time. Not that it tells you that anywhere. Well that can swivel.

Latest 6 month bill from #SouthEastWater was £436.47 - up £100 on the last one. But look at what they want if you pay monthly! For the same period they would’ve taken £828! This is nothing short of extortion. How can this even be legal? I’m so angry I can barely speak. This cannot go on! 😡

Actually this incident reminded me of the old music hall ‘watch on a Cairo lamppost’ gag: As in . . . ‘D’you know last weekend I left my pearl necklace on a Sussex village green? And when I went back there this morning it was still there!’ ‘The necklace?’ ‘No, the village green’ I thanga yew 🎭

THE QUEEN’s PEARLS UPDATE!! Just completed my morning constitutional & I can confirm - THEY’RE GONE! All that remains at the village green were a couple of stray pearls from the abandonment. But, was it Queen Camelia’s snatch (🤮), or were they whipped up by ne’er do wells? We may never know 🤔

The village green discarded pearls of despair. 😞

We just had breakfast in a greasy spoon full of builder type lads all talking in that rough accent they all do. I said to wife ‘you don’t hear that in Galvin La Chapelle’ She said ‘How do you know? We’re never in there this early’ I’ve also never heard anyone belch loudly in GLC 💅🏼

Kudos to #beck for releasing his latest LP with a pukka record company label - and not the usual blank or clueless, rubbishy label designs that most artistes do these days. Innit. #capitolrecords #ridelonesome

Book festivals, please, PLEASE don’t use AI to write author bios and book descriptions. Currently, I am being advertised as attending a festival next month for a talk about a book that doesn’t exist…

Oh FFS - it has snowed here before you know. I’m not panic buying for a dusting ❄️ A formal weekly shop would cover it. Let’s face it biatches - it’s just crap click bait Good evening 💅🏼

We’re up the pub - and having dinner there as I CBA to cook. Food is nice but they have these weird cutlery design where they’re all wrong. What’s that all about ?? Eh???

Severe drought restrictions now increased for us by #southernwater & #southeastwater (unless you live in Hastings & Rye) Yet water leaks go unrepaired - like this one in Brede which has been pouring down the hill for months now. The government need to get a grip on these cowboys!

I tried to post that fabulous Hylda Baker clip 4 times this morning. Each time Apple fucking Intelligence changed spelling AFTER I had proof read it. It is sad that American software creators are apparently illiterate when it comes to the English language. I assume that comes from the very top?

The UK should just make some shit up about arresting a few suspects with full evidence of how they invented it all sitting there waiting so that when Trump takes the bait and pretends he knew all about it they can release the evidence to prove definitively that he's a fucking liar.

The ‘new’ #Apple #Siri is utter rubbish. Actually even less responsive than the old one was. All I keep getting when in the car to almost any request is: ‘There has been a problem - please try again’ I’ve stopped using it.

New addition to the record collection yesterday. I bought it because it’s on Apple - and also because it’s weird. Isn’t it? I wouldn’t cuddle my brothers half naked. A handshake and a birthday card does us. That pair look like they’re about to have coitus. Disgraceful.

Have Apple device users noticed that their software hates contracted words? It automatically mangles contracted or abbreviated words - as per my last post below. And I’m sick of it. Do you hear? SICK OF IT! Thank you.

I was right - I bought 2 records and two 1st edition books (as a Christmas present - don’t tell them, it’s a secret). I’m hopeless. Judge me all you like though, I could t give a shit 💅🏼

I’m sat sitting here alone having a coffee in Hammersmith on Sea. Next engagement at 12 noon. Trying to think of something to do that doesn’t involve the risk of me buying more records. But I know that’s not going to happen. And I probably will. Damn and blast it 🤨

The coffee shop I’m in is playing classical music. Are they trying to get rid of customers? Seriously? At this time of day? Well, they’ve got rid of me anyway. Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee💨
