Right it's happened. It's dark at 5pm. I hope you're all happy now. I'll see you after easter next year.

Hunky fella from another office was visiting for a month. He turned up with mud all over him one morning and stated that he was filthy. Before I engaged my brain I said out loud that I'd love to clean him. I then pretended to have a cold and worked from home until he left.

Well Blade Runner 2099 is sounding rather wonderful. Michelle Yeoh, very smart casting. Rutger Hauer is such a tough act to follow

Where to die when the end of the world comes. There will be no hiding. What is it with the end-times obsession of the US and now all media??

The problem here is that one of the valves has had its plastic tap removed, so you can’t adjust it (the one to the right of the vertical copper pipe) This is probably because it’s been left ‘open’ (my guess) So you adjust the pressure by tweaking the left one with a screwdriver. Gently.

alright fellow mascs just bled my radiators, which predictably led to a drop in water pressure, and usually know how to bring the pressure back up but turns out my boiler situation here is, huh, unobvious - do we think these are the two bits I need to open to bring the pressure back up?

Some of you will have seen the new Citroen 2CV already. I’m at the launch and I think it looks great. Smaller, lighter, electric and really not expensive

This a million times. People of colour being dragged on to debate maniacs about imaginary labels & race science is an abomination. proper ‘how German are you’ Nazi shit Note that people like me with white migrant parentage never asked to defend our identity Englishness. Is. A. Made. Up. Thing

Dear tv and radio producers. Thankyou for the invitation. But, no, I do not want to appear on your show to defend the idea that I am English, after 50 years of living and working here, because the increasingly feral right want to turn this into a "debate" and you cannot see how you're being played

I’ve added an MCP server to my engineering database and can now find answers in minutes that would have taken me maybe an hour or so - but, crucially so much easier. It’s a savvy query interface using natural language and was disarmingly easy to add to Claude #ai

You should go and see Rachel. She's very good, but also, the balls it takes to do a post like this - in a climate where comedians are encouraged to post nothing but wins, forever - merits your attendance on its own.

Hey folks. In total honesty my tour is NOT selling well. I’ve sold 30 tickets in a 400 seater in Birmingham, and not much more elsewhere. If you like musical comedy, if you like standup, then please come see my show! And spread the word! The Rachel Parris Songbook tour starts in Nov! Link in bio! 🎶

We have a resident rat. It’s a bonny wee fellow. I’ve bought a humane rat trap, which is working very well inasmuch as the chap is not going anywhere near it. £15 well spent, if you’re a rat.

If it was terror, they wouldn’t see the light of day. I’m assuming they haven’t got enough evidence to charge them with anything serious. Vans probably check out as insured and being not stolen Wearing ballies in a rural postcode not carrying a 5 year tariff just yet

All the hand-wringing over RAF Fairford. Every military base is a target, which is why they have armed guards. It’s why Palestine Action got a drubbing for breaking in and spraying the jet engines, it should never have happened. Not sure the US would have been quite as lax as the Brits.

We might never know what the bad lads in transits had planned. If they’d had any sense, they would have used stand off munitions and droned the base from several miles away. Maybe they were just ultra keen plane spotters.

Whatever they were up to, every Amazon delivery round there is gonna get called in for the next few months. Good luck getting a Deliveroo.

Do you believe you’re right about everything? If you don’t believe you’re right about everything, what do you believe you’re probably wrong about? If you don’t know what you’re wrong about, what are you sure you’re right about?

The sub-tweets/skeets are golden on this one

Why do we keep saying that Henry VIII had six wives? Yet according to English law he only had three. People need to learn the difference between an annulment and a divorce.

There was, in fact, a legal framework governing slavery, hence the need for changes in the law to make it illegal. It was not some private hobby like knitting or stamp collecting.

Roland Smith@rolandmcs.bsky.social

I have found Lilico's logic on slavery: It was nothing to do with Britain, only Britons. Apparently.

This was quite the suprise. Ich freue mich sehr, gemeinsam mit zwanzig anderen tollen Menschen das Bundesverdienstkreuz zu erhalten. I am delighted to be receiving the Federal Cross of Merit on German Unity Day, alongside twenty other wonderful people. Dankeschön. It's an honour.

I’ve worn a grubby RNLI cap for decades. I sound London, but I was born in Truro and I was a basically feral (Gen X) kid wandering the coast path with a dog until sunset for a lot of my early life. The lifeboats are in the fabric like trawlers and farms and pasties and fish and chips.

Absolutely horrendous for this woman and her family.

Roland Smith@rolandmcs.bsky.social

Very nice to hear a sane voice from Piddington. Serious respect to this woman, who is apparently already being othered by more bigoted villagers.

In May of 1940 there was a mass panic in Britain - stirred up by the tabloid press - about 'fighting aged men' who had come to Britain as 'refugees' posing a threat to the women and children of this country - and essentially forming a 'fifth column' that could, at any moment rise up against everyone
