Some walking stuff, some grumpy stuff, way too many bad puns. Not necessarily in that order. Probably wrong.
I cheated on mine by having undiagnosed ADHD and reading everything and then panicking as I had no understanding of what the word “revision” really meant. I was always excellent at just “winging it”. Until I wasn’t.
Sara Gibbs@sararoseg.bsky.social · yesterdayI cheated on all my school exams by memorising all the stuff that might come up
Besides, every year that gets added to my tally is one more year of life. Older is good. Older is a gift. Older means I'm not dead yet.
My, the summer showers in Manchester this afternoon are really bringing out the baked in odours of stale urine from doorways and side streets. Mmm mmm, piss-trichor
The more I think about it, the more I believe that Odysseus is Irish. 1. Went out with his pals and didn't come home for ages 2. Wouldn't take any advice 3. Absolutely loves songs about struggles 4. His name is O'dysseus, for Christ's sake!
I often discover hidden gems on iPlayer via ppl I like mentioning them on social media. So I'm trying to return the favour here: The BBC has put up a season of British & Irish theatre on iPlayer. Some real smashers, too! More info: www.bbc.com/mediacentre/... Watch: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/grou...

Well, there's a nice little pick me up to start the day. Didn't know @manchestermill.bsky.social had started personalising messages
On behalf of British Hauntology, if we do have to stop using Jodrell Bank to look for intelligent life in the vastness of uncaring space, can we at least turn it round and use it to summon the old gods from Albion’s haunted soil?
I presume Joe McGann will play Big Brother

The Only Connect Murderer. He had 3 planned, then we'd have had to guess who the fourth victim would be. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crim...

Number Ten North sounds like a bar in Ancoats which sells the worst pint of Guinness ever for £10.
I'm a childless person staying with relatives who have a small kid so it's my first time watching Bluey and, well, it's bloody lovely, isn't it?
Never forget among the north sea drilling, and continued promotion of Mahmood. At least Andy Burnham got the busses running on time...
Jennifer Williams@jenwilliamsft.bsky.social · 3w agoWhat got buses fixed? Ultimately it was Manchester persuading ministers that it needed the power to fix it. If you don’t have rubbish bus services - which are generally the rule and not the exception outside of London - you wouldn’t know why it mattered. From here though, it was a HUGE issue.
8 weeks out? Might start taking this seriously then... I'm back on the trails in September introducing my unsuspecting colleagues at Manchester Mind to the joys of Ultra Marathons With teams out on the 25, 50 and 75km routes of the Peak District Challenge www.justgiving.com/page/manches...

They should just switch off whichever social medias are currently hip, gnarly and the pip at midnight, then play the national anthem and remind users "our colleagues on Mastodon and Bluesky will be carrying on through the night". Then nothing 'til the weather for farmers and Fritz Spiegl's UK Theme.
