On another note, the national alert system works, I see.
Another dipshit trying to weaponise the phrase "working class" to divide people. People playing music in public. Reduced bus fares. Hell, even being positive about immigration. All things are seemingly the middle class liberal elites hating on the working classes. Absolute fucking bullshit.
The Third Person@thethirdpersonuk.bsky.social · last wk.Nah, you're just demonizing working class folks and cultures that normalise having fun in public just because you hate the commute to work.
The now annual marking of the Plug Plot Riots anniversary. During the General Strike of 1842, the Riot Act was read by the mayor on striking workers in Preston. Four people were shot dead and more injured. There is a memorial and the pubs either side of the road are named in memory.
Pinhole projection and a quick attempt of direct photography without frying my camera. Interesting effect.
I've never been a proponent of capital punishment. It has no place in civilised society. However, there is an exception to every rule and I'm willing to make that exception for people who form single file queues in pubs.
Girlfriend booked us a quiet UK getaway. On the way, I gingerly said "Given how close we are to the station, there's a good chance -" and she interrupted with "to see the new Class 810 Auroras, yes, that's why I chose it." She was never previously in to trains. She's the one.
Unfortunate accidents happen, but the lack of a plan B on British railways when something goes wrong, linked with the god awful capacity, is utterly depressing.

In 1897 A W Gamage Ltd of London ( who claimed to be the ‘world’s largest sport and athletic outfitter’) made a blue ball specially for the ladies game as it was feared (by men, obviously) women would "swoon" at the sight of a red one. This ball was originally blue
again with the constant opting out they do this because they know nobody will rush to opt in. their users don't want this.

Colombia v Switzerland being referred to as Charlie v The Chocolate Factory.
The train announcement just said “1st class passengers should go to coach C for Charlie.” Typical 2 tier society. In 2nd class we don’t even get a free cup of tea.
The first-team men and women's matches will go ahead in late July and early September, after a successful T20 game this week. Lancashire's new multi-million pound second home, which is actually in the Red Rose county, is ready. 🏏

Middlesex v Buckinghamshire, 50 over NCCA Showcase Fixture, Sir Paul Getty's Ground, Wormsley Estate Chances to watch a match here are limited, so I decided to take this one. Unbelievable setting to watch cricket in, but the peasants have been reminded not to wander off into the estate!
Saturday night telly at its bleakest. Ant and Dec hosting, pushing various traumatised people from the worst places on earth on to a stage where the public get to decide their fate. Stephen Mulhern invents the catchphrase “Dinghy Do Well?” Press Red to win a Seat Ibiza. Calls cost £3.

Who is ‘Conrad Neeskens’? And how did a mysterious social media account acquire a “deep inside knowledge” of Northern Premier League matters?

John Moe@johnmoe.bsky.social · 3mo agoHere I invite you to be a micro-heretic. To bring small shame on your people. Tell me about a highly praised thing in your hometown/area that all locals LOVE except YOU. I’m from the Seattle area. Taco Time is nothing special. Bland. Not horrible but not worth going out of your way. Now you go!
England v New Zealand, third Test, day 1 Don't travel, they said. Sod that, I said. It's my birthday and I'll do what I want! That wasn't exactly rewarded with a stellar England performance, but it's been a bloody good day. Just got to get home, now.
I'm all for Nazis not being able to sell their house. There's a few photos in the comments that people managed to get and there is still at least one hiding in the listing. I don't know how the estate agents managed to let this one through...
