Explain it to me why, of all the delectable boozy beverages in the world, Asda's only alcoholic flavour frozen treat is just a pack of "cider" lollies? Pina Colada and Mojito would have got me more interested.

I thought we wouldn't be able to see this because of houses in the way, but I'm standing in my kitchen cooking tea and hubby is using binoculars to project the partial eclipse.
There's another partial eclipse in the UK next August. And one the following January. And another 18 months after that. Then there's a 6 year gap ...

Now this is a timely post, and actually helpful, considering what I've just asked about on here!
Anon Opin@anonopin.bsky.social · 7d agoNever has there been a better example of someone teaching their grandmother to suck eggs than Jamie Oliver going over to Italy and telling them about pasta.
You know those moments when your offspring ask a question and you feel the weight of responsibility to explain at length and make sense of the world for them? Well, I've been asked why most people hate Jamie Oliver. Please pitch in 'cos I'm stuck. (FWIW I don't have much truck with hate.)
This is Aquapigeon. S/he is getting their money's worth out of their bird bath membership by sitting in it for hours of every day, for months, now. All this bird needs is a kazoo and it would be a duck.
Episode of Antiques Roadshow from 2013 with Fiona Bruce, introduced with "this programme contains outdated language." I could not be more intrigued!
Utter first world problem, but is there a national run on feta cheese or summat? I've been to 4 shops in 3 days and not found any. I even ordered some and it was substituted.

Happy Yorkshire day to you, Bluesky. Enjoy your morning cup of Yorkshire tea, prep your pudding batter for later and plot your fiendish scheme to force rhubarb on (or up?) someone.

Microsoft wants to build three massive AI data centres in Leeds. It’ll drain thousands of litres of water from the River Aire and become the city's biggest carbon emitter. We can still stop the council's final sign-off, but we need more voices. Add your name: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/pr...

If I had my grandparents jobs from 1926 I'd be a railway director. Or a vicar. Or, tbh, the wife of thereof. I didn't see "what would you do on the commune" but I'd be the community cohesion person (aka party thrower).
Revan@revan.eurosky.social · 2w agoEnough “what would you do on the commune questions” If you got sent back 100 years and were given your grandparent’s job, what are you doing?
Storm on Facebook over using RAF Linton on Ouse to house migrants. Some telling objections like "The number of single refugee men will outnumber the villagers". But what I want to know is, did they protest at the number of single RAF men when *they* outnumbered the villagers?
PLEASE SHARE THIS To the young person (longish dark hair, patterned waistcoat, chinos & DM boots) who left this scroll of papers on the Piccadilly Line train at South Kensington station at about 4.25pm today, I’ve handed it to the station staff at Hammersmith.
Feeling guilty that I haven't read a single email from my new vacuum cleaner.
On Sunday I caught myself exclaiming, rather shrill: "Tesco don't even sell spring onions!" and I don't know if that was me being very old or very Harrogate, but it was quite funny.

You can view this post as a distraction from the rest of the timeline if you wish *bows* but I saw CMAT at Scarborough open air theatre on Saturday and she was incredible to hear and to watch and also funny and entertaining. No wonder she has superfans. Audience aged 6 to 86, all raucous 11/10
I remember 20 years ago when they tried putting cameras in pens and people were worried they would be used covertly in gym changing rooms. Then camera phones came along - you can't use those covertly. These glasses are back to the covert use category, that's the nub of the problem.

Yes Wordle is annoying today. Many people say so. No, you don't need to post smug remarks to glorify your own cleverness or bookishness after you've got it. #subtweet
Matlock Bath today. Very pretty but I'm confused by the excessive proliferation of fish and chip shops in a place so far from the sea. It's fully 50% of a Cleethorpes [invents new SI unit]
