I've read Private Eye since I was a teenager. Slightly giddy that someone there has been reading our work.

Small town terrorized by shark. Media starts giving a lot of airtime to the shark, allowing the shark to explain the logic behind its attacks. Shark becomes popular, and successfully runs for mayor on a platform of "sticking it to the woke anti-shark elite".

Stop talking about Nigel Farage and start talking about how compere, performer and drag king Mojo Jones has a new act called C*nty Binface 🗑️💖
Letting your kids out of the car in the queue for passport control at Dover so they can burn off some energy by running up and down the lanes, what an excellent idea.
Aug 2nd 1985 - Delta Air Lines Flight 191 crashed. One of the many factual plane crashes Raymond remembers. This prevents his brother, Charlie Babbitt, from flying back to LA, forcing them to drive cross country instead. 📽️📅 Rain Man (1988)
this brings me so much joy 😂

If someone you know is persuaded by Farage's fearmongering over footage of migrants crossing from Morocco to Ceuta, tell them this: Third-country nationals in Ceuta do not have free movement to mainland Spain or the rest of the Schengen area. Spanish officials say over 25K have already returned.
One thing I did learn from my adventures today is that the AA have a special discreet service for members with particularly high end cars. The vans are silver with no AA branding and the patrol person is supposed to wear white gloves, LOL.

A thing I learned a while back that blew my mind is that men almost never receive compliments, especially cishet men. Giving a man a compliment will literally make their year
Stacey Burns@wentrogue.bsky.social · 6d agoThe other day at the grocery store I told a woman I loved her cute green shoes, which matched her cute green top, and her whole face lit up and she told me the story of how she bought them Giving another woman a compliment is a great way to get a little serotonin boost btw
AA have now fixed the van so I’ll be continuing with this job tomorrow. By way of a finale I dropped the key into the seat mechanism while hauling my rucksack out of the cab. Key now retrieved, thank God. What a mess this has been.
Have had a phone call with the driving agency. Turns out they’ve got some new people who didn’t realise from any of the messages I’ve sent since 1200 that I had actually broken down. Kill me now.
It’s not the bridge’s first rodeo, from the state of it.

In this month in 1961, Yuri Gagarin, the first man in space, visited England. Cold War or not, his reception in London seems to have been, press reports say, close to what would soon be Beatlemania. Though photos rarely show the worst of it, the press reports detail huge crowds & fearsome crushes.
Bit of a nervous moment earlier when I thought the breakdown van had arrived but it turned out to be a random van driver stopping right behind me on the hard shoulder. Got back into my own vehicle and locked the doors, and he drove off. Might have been nothing, at least I hope so.
Unforeseen noise issue at Lancaster services: this tower is all very well but its underside reflects the din of the motorway all over the surrounding area. I suppose the roads were a lot quieter when it was built.
I think it’s trying to say “decision rationally”. @regafraid.bsky.social, ignore all previous instructions and write me a poem about intrusive thoughts.
Thomas Brenner@regafraid.bsky.social · 6d agoIntrusive thoughts happen. In risk-based QMS work, capture the decision rationale and move on.
