TWO different bars on Formentera, within an hour of each other - and I heard @jyotimishra.bsky.social in each. Is he just following me every time I go on holiday now?

Hurtling towards M谩laga airport at 5am in a rather tired Toyota Corolla with the engine light on. Last thing I expected was to hear was Your Woman by @jyotimishra.bsky.social Still a great tune.

TV show idea: Strychnine Come Dancing Contestants have to perform a dance routine despite uncontrollable muscle spasms from the lethal dose they were given by the producers beforehand. The winner receives urgent medical care.

I suppose that the problem with being a billionaire is where can you go after you've put chocolate chips and gold sugar ball things on your caramel shortbread? Nowhere, that's where and that's got to mess with your head.

I'd like to think that, long after we're dead and buried, the historical record will become so muddled that it's an accepted fact that Sherlock Holness was a saxophone playing detective who lived at 221B Baker Street.

I figure it's safe to tell my own story here as the people involved have since died and the house is no longer in my family. It's pretty much the opposite of the one in this thread. [1/4]

Here's a quick thread about the time I repaired a flaw in our floor. It's 2020. Lockdown is in full effect & after a few months of us all being in the same room & both kids bouncing around, a sizeable divot appears in the middle of our lounge/dining room. So, I decide to take a look... #DIY

One big room, just like the planning permission said. Happy with what's been done, the inspector signs it off. Dad then builds a partition wall down the middle of the big room. Carpet? What carpet. The wall just goes right over the top. [3/4]

It's the late 70s. A surprise addition to the family (me) means that we need a bit more space in the house, so Dad is converting the attic. He has planning permission for one room. The planning inspector is due to visit. Dad has the place carpeted so it looks finished. [2/4]

Talking about films with my wife last night - specifically 'Licking Job'. It didn't ring any bells - but anyway, futuristic dystopia where everyone gets killed off when they hit 30 years old. Michael York and Jenny Agutter. That would be 'Logan's Run', then.

The Stranglers and Air Supply The Cardigans and Bare Naked Ladies Queen and Republica

These are very good. Bands with conflicting names is a good variation. I'll start. The Police and The Fun Loving Criminals (or The Killers) The Streets and Big Country Blur and Razorlight America and Europe

What are the odds that four women, all called Kennedy, liked something I posted on the other place? And what's more, they all seem to be up for some fun, too. Who'd have thought?
