Tonight's testing. Here's what a seven second reverberation time sounds like.

Happy Longest Day Of The Year

Whenever you hear all this macho warrior bullshit, remember the Battle of Britain was won by a modest charitable Kiwi and a vegetarian British spiritualist who believed in fairies.

The best thing about the clocks going back is that when you wake up as usual at 3am, paralysed by dread, you find it’s only 2am and oh god the aching void of night will never end.

Seems the sort of day for a murky view of the countryside -- Eric Ravilious's Cerne Abbas Giant (1939, Private collection) is in the British Landscapes show at Pallant House Gallery in Chichester: art-exhibitions.blogspot.com/2026/10/pall...

Hour Record!! We don't hear enough about the 95-99 age category.

Fair play to The Os 👌

Five minutes in to Big Jet TV: wow these pilots have skills beyond most humans 20 minutes in: fuck's sake look at the 737-800 crabbing there. What flap settings are you even using mate, engage the TOGA

If you're a Mrs Charrington of Alton and you've dropped your Railcard, it's at the customer service desk in Sainsbury's.

If anyone's kid has lost their Columbia Statistical Research Group' model of survivorship bias, I found it on the street in Walthamstow yesterday.

We've reached that point in the year where I stop dressing like a murder suspect in a Poirot and start dressing like I'm about to raid a Norwegian Heavy Water Plant

Google is not the final arbiter of map data. They can call the Atlantic ocean "Albert" if they wanted to. This is only a story insofar as it demonstrates that Google has discovered a limit to its acquiescence to the whims of the administration.

It can only be a Backyard ultra where you run over 500 miles in 124 hours, gain a new world record and come away with a DNF. What an ending, massive congratulations Ivo Steyaert and Merijn Geerts, I cannot wait to see what happens at Bigs next year

Needs more scree, I seem to remember having to draw a lot of that.

Thankful Villages is such a wonderful project. The albums are terrific, I'm looking forward to watching these.

is Britain full or not, i can never remember

Never in doubt! Swindon score their first away goal for 637 minutes (trusting @talkinghawes.bsky.social has his numbers right). Going to need to update the Points Scored Per Shirt Colour analysis from last year... #STFC

Oh my DAYS

"Stay away from abandoned buildings" says the Adver passing on a police warning, while publishing photo galleries of Urban Explorers breaking into the Oasis, Mechanics Institute, Debenhams and whatever pubs have shut this week.

1973 - Focus - Hocus Pocus (live on The Midnight Special) The story I heard behind this was that the show gave them five minutes to play so they crammed ten minutes into six, but checking it out now otyer versions are this length or shorter. So we need a new theory to explain this performance.

Go to your camera roll and search "moat", then post a picture of a moat you like.

Have been very good friends for almost 20 years with Bloke Who Sits Behind Us, Guy In Front Who Used To Work At The Co-op and GIFWUTWATC's son. I sit next to @barr222.bsky.social but we were at school together so that doesn't count.

I released a new album today. With no lead up or pre-amble. I just put it on streaming and bandcamp like Taylor swift or something.

National Railway Museum is something of an open goal for the Hand Painted Lettering files, almost feels like cheating. I'll restrict myself to the Mallard.
