IT HAPPENED AGAIN

Finally on a train that is going to where we actually want to go after two hours touring the rail lines of the western suburbs of London. Yay

You know your day is going well when you end up at Winnersh Triangle

Something happening on @81jokes.bsky.social shortly. FOLLOW NOW.

I absolutely love the photos in this. www.londoncentric.media/p/oxford-str...

Actually, sorry Frank, but this guy seems a lot more enthusiastic

Halloween inspired Monster Munch tower (pickled onion and ketchup on seeded granary) for #CrispSandwichDay @vole.wtf

Had a lovely #crispsandwichday at @theshirkersrest.bsky.social and then got to ride the 21 bus for about 90% of its route which was a lovely way to see a lot of london

Mine was set to auto-change, but thought it was the 14th Jan 2010. So didn’t.

A busy Crispmas Eve yesterday, thanks to all who came to celebrate! We go again today from 1pm. #CrispSandwichDay

A tale of nerdy revenge for Sunday morning

Oh my. Somehow just stopped myself in time from saying “Cheers big ears” to the bus driver.

It’s quite sweet that the promo video for a housing development near me in Islington shows someone walking down Church Street Market off Edgware Road. Having clearly got it mixed up with Chapel Market at the Angel

You have to laugh at the sheer insanity of Turning Point UK being found to be organising literal contract killings and paid agitation at protests up and down the country and it barely even raises a flicker across the press. If that isn't 'terrorism' on some level I don't really know what is

A fantastic thread of some of the weirder bits of the TikTok algorithm

Don’t think anyone’s made quite enough fuss that they had the Holy Grail on Antiques Roadshow last week.

what drivers see when you're wearing hi-viz vs when you're not

One week until you can join us, if you dare, for STEAM 'N' SCREAM on the 29th & 30th October to take a ghoulish steam train ride to Dolgoch Woods under the cover of darkness… ...Are you brave enough? 👉️ www.talyllyn.co.uk/events/steam... #HeartofGold

One of these lifestyle shows is not like the others

Times I’ve selected a few characters in a word and dragged them to a new place in a file: 0. Ok, maybe once. Times I’ve accidentally selected a few characters in a word and then dragged them all over the place whilst trying to select more stuff: twelvety billion.

Reread this one after many years - still love it. There’s gorgeous writing, a slow-reveal alien mystery, the corrosive effect of lies, & a heartbreaking depiction of mental illness and one woman’s unraveling. A propulsive build to a fantastic ending. “Planetfall” by Emma Newman. #BookSky 💙📚🪐

Thinking how alike “I’ll be there for you” by The Rembrandts and “Slow Dog” by Belly sound, but with wildly different themes. I mean, apart from that banned episode where they shoot the dog.

Due to reverse engineering works, all bus services on Sunday will be replaced by trains.

Had this idea in lockdown, half-built it, forgot about it, remembered it again, though might as well finish it.

College across the road from me has rebranded as Capital City College and I hope that Lisa Simpson gets a place when she is old enough.

Every gothic horror:

Can you guess what it is yet?

Finding it very hard not to read this as Autism Drinking

Went to get a sandwich for lunch and the place has a phone a lights set up over their prep area and they broadcast my sandwich to the internet before I could hold it, let alone eat it. Some sarnie pervs have got off on my lunch. Where’s my cut?

If you enjoyed this, I put the same humour and retro computing obsessions into my new book "81 Jokes For The ZX81". Do pre-order it, out early December in time for Christmas. An ideal gift for you or your ZX81 loving partner. I've put so much love into this. Order now: spelk.press/gb/products/...

Luckily he knows a couple of pool guys who can do it cheap.

When I grew up we had numbers like 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0, not just 04

Feels like the Travolta meme was made for this tbh.
