I never knew Graham Norton lived in Brasil

Anyone else amazed Carrick has not been sacked? (as of 22.13 on 26.10.26)

And now on MOTD its countrywide Schadenfreunde...... #manu 😂

2nd fact of the day. How wheels are changed in F1 influences how staff are working during surgery in hospitals in the UK.

It's been windy here in Yorkshire today...you know what that means...yes...footage on Look North of planes landing sideways at Leeds Airport....😂

Anyone must be mad........... to listen to Robert Jenrick...just saying.

Did you know that the population of Ireland has still not recovered to its pre-famine and migration numbers in 1840. Staggering though this is, why am I telling you? Well I have come across this fact twice in the last 12 hours. #happenstance

I love the happenstance of these two posts in my timeline. @brokenbottleboy.bsky.social @dustysevens.bsky.social

Catching up with the results show for #strictly. They have announced the "star" turn in the middle. There were words and names there that I had never heard of. Someone called Jamie Miller (from Cardiff apparently) turned up with someone else. OH: "Looks like he wearing his Dad's suit" I feel v old

Another beer tasting event in a TV show that usually does wine (12%) tasting umming and ahhing over “strong” beers at 5.5-6% 🤣 don’t give me any comments on glass size. I’ve seen the size of some wine glasses!!!

Along with the Statten island ferry, two of the best free things to do in NYC.

I'm interspersing Disco at the BBC with #gardenersworld and Monty's tips for the week. Sureal!!

I am so pleased I am too young for the 70s. I currently have the wrong BMI for Disco-wear.

Dear BBC I much prefer these "...at the Beeb" shows to #totp. You kindly put up all the info I inevitably have to look up on Wikipedia during totp so I can relax.

I once got into trouble at a 6th form Pantomime for doing a version of this Demis Roussos track dressed as one of the "dodgy" teachers who used to leer over the girls. Didn't go down well...LOL he used to wear extravagant necklaces too. For the record I prefer 4 horsemen of the apocalypse

Ah our first dance song...for me and the OH xx #totp

NOOOoooooooooooo #traitors I hate you.

And the show is saved by Kylie #totp

I think I must have been doing other things on Thursday evenings in 2000. Mind is a blank on all these Pop "stars" #totp

I'm having deja vu #totp

‘ @laurenlaverne.bsky.social thank you. I contacted the show with my thoughts about Amy but you perfectly reflected them in your own comments during the final interview. Thank you once again for a beautiful show.

Off again on Grandparent duties this weekend. Down to the deepest darkest south with more missionary supplies. Grandad biscuits ✅ Yorkshire parkin ✅ Percy Turner Pork Pie ✅

My first car was an Austin Metro: the reported winds are faster than it was. Stay safe everyone

"His face is as red as a fox's arse at gooseberry time"- Jerry Hall treating us to some great American idioms. #traitors

What happened to Johnny?

Heeding advice from the RSPB we stopped feeding the birds seeds earlier in the year. I had planted sunflowers from seeds collected summer 2025. I stuck as many as grew into large pots round the garden. We moved this one near the kitchen window and have the pleasure of seeing the greenfinches visit

I wonder if @ironeconomist.bsky.social knows his gilets?

Just watching Josh Widicombe marvelling at his distant relative Mary Boleyn.A quick google search suggests that 100,000s of people are likely to be related to her.Also anyone with English genealogy going back a few generations is likely to be related to a historical figure from that time. Sorry Josh

Just turned tonight's football on...to see how Man U were getting on.......ooops...😂

Oh my DAYS

I wonder if the people who have played #Traitors ever look back and are completely embarrassed by the things they say around the Round table. People are so hilariously bad at the game.....😂

All science teachers should go to the ASE conference at least once in their careers.

Purely for research purposes. Let the pie-off begin! #meltonmowbray @petebrownbeer.bsky.social @mattzki.bsky.social @gargarin.bsky.social

My council, as its very first act took the pride flag down in front of the town hall. They said it didn’t matter They said it was woke nonsense If just ONE person in Barnsley felt like this It mattered

Questions of the night....how do they know when to go to bed on traitors????? (as they have about a 45 minute drive to their hotel each night) Do TV people patrol the corridors in the hotel to stop dicussion?

I'm off later to do my regular stint of missionary work. Taking the produce of God's own county "Percy Turner Pork Pies" to the forgotten wastelands of the far south, where meat wrapped in pastry (other than the abomination that is a M&S Melton Mowbray) is unknown.

Being a football fan I was at first confused by all this literature talk about "Rooney" I wasn't optimistic that the "Rooney Annual 2008" would sell in the US, similarly Rooney; My 10 greatest moments in the Premier League" will not sit well against Baseball books I fear,😀

Well worth a read whether you are in education or not.

Surely there must be a postal address for the White House? It won't change a thing but if we all wrote a note that said "Dear Mr President We all think you are an effing loon Signed the world" We might all feel a bit better.

For me this wins the internet today.... (As I have that ship, I am kicking myself for not thinking of it myself)

As all students should know..liquids take the shape of their container...so this must be a liquid cat.

This was nice #Whitelocks Leeds

We no longer get the chance to stop at Altofts station which has now closed. In all the years I travelled to Leeds I hardly ever saw anyone get on. It felt like a forgotten set from Fiddler on the roof. The wind from the Urals was always keen.

Off to Leeds on the “fast” train. We need regional accents for platform announcements. A very plummy voice announces every inappropriate syllable of Meadowhall, Kirkgate and Barnsley.

I’m on a bus into town, it’s full of students going to college, it feels like a school bus. the “back seat boys” are still in year 10!! 😂😂
