Captain Ted

Currently sitting on a railway station on the Keighley and Worth Valley line, and the descents to the platform plus the seemingly slow-motion carriage door slamming just reminds me of… “Daddy! My… Daddy!” 🚂

And in the Black Sea currently. Seafarers are under attack and this needs to be bigger news everywhere. If your workplace were being blown up I think you would be shouting about it too!! 7 seafarers are currently missing from these vessels. #SAR #seafarersafety

Tiny Sailing Bear: 'We are off on an adventure in Babs the motor home. These mushrooms are HUGE but Mr Huggles says not to eat them'.

Cantabrian brown bears have clawed their way back from the edge of extinction in northern Spain, and nature tourism keeps villagers in jobs where farming culture cannot. Rewilding hugely benefits rural life and economies. www.theguardian.com/travel/2026/...

No, babe, I NEED the $200 Le Creuset Star Trek shuttlecraft casserole dish for my banana bread.

An arts space, right next door to the Piece Hall - already a fantastic concert venue. Looks well worth saving to me! 👍

Betty: 'Humph! As usual, it's down to me to do the laundry'. (*mutters*)

Betty: 'Here I am on the island of Ulva at the famous Boathouse Restaurant. I can confirm that the Cullen Skink is delicious! #Mull #UlvaFerry

A cat charity in Leeds, who visits feral cat colonies, spotted Ginge, who had been missing for almost a year, & almost 100 miles from his home in Sunderland. He has since been reunited with his humans after his microchip was scanned at a vets. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

On this the inglorious 12th spare a thought for the millions of pheasants raised in industrial factory farms in France then released into the UK country side to be shot, starve or killed on the roads. #inglorious12th

Notice for cat owners: Your cat will expect breakfast to be served as soon as the eclipse is over.

People of Clacton! Show your support for me by putting a bin outside your house, one day this week, of a colour of Tendring Council's choice. This will be unequivocal proof of the success of my campaign.

Betty: 'I found poor Bonnie wandering and lost in Mallaig so I brought her aboard' Captain Ted: 'Help! She's licking me!"

Billy: 'Someone's been eating my basil leaves!' (*muffled moo*) Betty: 'Erm, we have a new member of the crew. Meet Bonnie!'

You've got to hand it to Trump's criminal apprentice... Infantino will never make as much personal cash out of the FIFA presidency as Trump does from the US. But a few tens of millions should give him a fairly comfortable retirement 🤮 NBhttps://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c8xng9894z0o

If you're spending time in and around the National Park this weekend, please: 🔥 Do not light barbecues or campfires. 🌊 Waterways can look deceptively calm and shallow at this time of year BUT rivers and lakes can be extremely cold, deep and difficult to get out of.

On my way, Clacton.

If you open and close this stadium the right number of times it will tell your fortune

A pal of mine posted this on the other place. I'm done in.

Day 5 Workaholic and that's me a workaholic out picking up litter...we have to take care of the planet #Hedgewatch #DailyAnipalPhotoJul2026

FIFA corruption - reversing red cards for players from favoured countries - is sure frustrating. And you know what else is frustrating? The fact that this incredible 99p offer for the ebook of #TheCutThroatTrial won’t last forever. www.amazon.co.uk/Cut-Throat-T...

#PaulMcCartney performed the beloved #Beatles No 1 hit I Want to Hold Your Hand for the first time in 60 yrs at #TaylorSwift and Travis Kelce’s wedding. McCartney has never performed it in public since 1964 - by then at the paramount theatre in New York www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

On another site I follow a Hedgehog rescue and they have put out a plea for us to put out shallow dishes of water for hedgehogs. You may not even be aware that 🦔 are visiting. It’s so easy to do and it can save a life. I know many of you already do so please share post spread the word. #GardenStuff

Billy: "I've removed 3 lead acid boat batteries, fitted 1 new liffium iron frustrate battery with a 60 amp trip switch!" Captain Ted: 'Errr. Right Billy, carry on'.

*Whispers* Amazon doesn't need your money, but your local independent bookstore does.

Over 128 years 1,167 lives saved by the heroic volunteer crews of New Brighton backed up by volunteer support staff. This happens all around the coast of Britain and Ireland. The RNLI must surely be one of the greatest assets of the UK!

Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...

Lovely tribute to David Hockney from his friend Paul McCartney.

Okay but hear me out: A bookstore crawl that ends in a bakery crawl.

Remembering the late Comedian, Actress, Singer and Songwriter, Screenwriter and Director, Victoria Wood (19 May 1953 – 20 April 2016)

Repost if you’d like me to represent the UK at #Eurovision 2027.

Capt Ted: 'We are having a tweet up with Little Chewy and Tang. Cider already flowing!'

Turns out, if you stop tearing up the seabed, wildlife thrives: ten years after banning bottom trawl fishing, there are 3 times the number of sea creatures + double the number of species in the South Arran MPA, Scotland, than there were before the ban 👏🦪🐟 share.google/2M5WqP3CXwSH...

This is Jam. He said he was the highest jumping golden retriever in Ontario. May or may not have lied on his resume. Still 13/10 (IG: skythepupvlogger)
