Out for a walk this morning with a neighbour's hound, and we stopped for coffee. The current Mrs J asked if the place had a toilet. I said of course, as it was serving food to be consumed on the premises, so it was required by law. 1/2

I know this because in the 1970s, the Kabin in Coronation St got into trouble for selling tea and coffee without such facilities. I've basically learned all my law from watching soaps... 2/2

What kind of day am I having? Well, I was booked on a train late morning, but couldn't get parked at the station. So drove home and booked another train this afternoon. Got to the station over an hour early, so if I still couldn't park I'd have time to drive back and get a bus. 1/2

Got parked this time, so had to sit in the car park for an hour. Well, an hour and fifteen as the train is delayed. Meanwhile, this carriage appears to be doubling as a mobile kindergarten. 2/2

I hope someone on TV explains what the triple lock is, because I've only heard it 500 times in the last 48 hours.

Quite amazing that someone will go on national radio for a music quiz and fail to know ZZ Top or The Beach Boys.

Things that piss me off, day 2376. Parents that get their kids to hold a table in a self service eatery. Just bloody selfish.

Oh OK then. First: Slade Last: Squeeze (Amsterdam) Next: Half Man Half Biscuit (Though that's not until next year, so may well change) Seen Most: Eric Clapton, I think. I may have seen Glen Tilbrook more if you count solo and Squeeze performances.

I missed this, and I'm guessing others did too. Trump's Truth Social is planning to offer premium access to his posts, so you get advance knowledge of what he's planning. Basically, you can do insider trading if you bribe him. Rumours of it being $100k. finance.yahoo.com/media-advert...

Can't help feeling there's a number of middle aged men thinking "Rotherham to Devon in four hours. That's good going".

Of course there's a narrow time frame for the result to be reversed, known as The Overturn Window

“After it ended, the Belgian team’s social media account had a message to the U.S. on Twitter: “Overturn this.” Perfect. #WellPlayed #Belgium

Given it's been to Qatar and Russia, and will be in Saudi Arabia in a few years time, it's pretty impressive that it's a World Cup in the USA that's the most corrupt.
