@deserterblog.bsky.social can pigs be deserters?
A few years ago I went to a pig sanctuary and most of the pigs were stoned from eating green acorns. This one, Wilbur, couldn’t stand up and was too big to lift, so the staff had to leave him in this bush and wait for him to sober up.

You know what Friday means? One hour of corporate organised fun with people I barely know in a Teams meeting. Every Friday.

100 years old. And the struggle for the 5-day weekend goes on. www.theguardian.com/money/2026/a...

In 1926, Henry Ford gave his employees both Saturdays and Sundays off – and the two-day chunk of time to party, pray or simply do nothing was born. Now it’s changed beyond recognition

Crisp News from @theshirkersrest.bsky.social Plenty of packets picked up from there last night for the Pubcast. Do please label your donations for a shout out, if you can be arsed. Vinny’s memory isn’t what it used to be, and neither is the other one’s.

What if you got seven mates together to drink seven pints of Hepcat, in seven South London pubs? And what if you called it The Hepcathlon? With a name that good, it had to be done. Join guest blogger Ben Jones for a new Olympic event, possibly. deserter.co.uk/2026/08/the-...
