Double damn. Now I've got Outlook, the intranet, and the document management system. Right before lunch too.

Is it just me, or were certain parts of the script of today’s #CharlesParis mystery episode oddly topical?
So apparently the new Kindle+ allows you to switch between reading and hearing an AI voice read the book. Apparently there is no way for authors to opt out of having their work read out by a soulless automaton. So another blow for the voiceover market there.
I reckon Elizabeth should tell nurse in charge, so they are aware of Mince’s mental state. #TheArchers
It has become my own pers tradn to post this (10y.o. now) on such occasions. In UK polling stns open 07:00-22:00 most can go b4 or after work, but in US esp if yr job demands you clock in/out, lateness grounds for dismissal... With thanks @deborahfriedell.bsky.social : www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v3...

What if outcome of diocesan process is that Alan was not empowered to ”return” a donation given to the charity by a parishioner (without process at that point) on the say-so of a family member with whom the pr had a difficult r’ship, so *this* was the improper transaction, not the gift? #TheArchers
Not following this. If the fallen tree was recommended for reinspection in next few weeks, then due date not missed. What is the problem? The tree fell, but not because of an overdue inspection. Why is Martyn saying it's catastrophic? #TheArchers
Ones next to roads or fpaths I get, but surely it’s part of rewilding that fallen branches / trunks are allowed to rot, as habitat? Or is this a problem of the site? [Do I seem to remember that the rewilding land was a long strip which n.o. else wanted? So is it ALL next to the road?]. #TheArchers
Carol was a malicious old baggage, I expect she did all this deliberately. Jazzer n Tracy being req'd to replace planters whn have so little ££. This ep. is all abt fundamentally decent people in community being persecuted, no fault of their own - just too grim. Roll on #Screenshot #TheArchers
Sejanus has dropped his Gladius. King Leodegrance has taken off his crown. Captain Picard has handed over command of the starship. Safe travels Mr. Patrick Stewart. 1940-2026
Patrick Stewart and Walter Koenig in one week. Give them a tall ship and a star to sail by…
A minced oath is a polite swap for a swear or a blasphemy (like “gosh” for “God”) and the best one I’ve come across is from Palestinian Arabic, where yifḍaḥ ḥarīmak (“may your womenfolk be dishonoured”) becomes yifḍaḥ ḥarīšak (“may your caterpillar be dishonoured”). * read on for more (a thread)…
#BBCR4 Today programme giving airtime to F*r*ge this morning, and T*ce yesterday. How come this flood-the-zone by Reform is facilitated by the BBC? Where is the 10+mins of airtime for other smaller parties?
“Little Storm” “Big Storm” “Cheeky Storm” “Sleepy Storm” ….good grief, we’re getting decades of this now, aren’t we? #TheArchers
Hello! It doesn’t cost anything to repost but it helps me spread the word about my small business. My online shop is full of bold & colourful prints, homewares and cards. I’m also available for freelance design work and art licensing. gailmyerscough.co.uk
Iceland. In October. To escape the wind and rain. 😆😆😆 #TheArchers
All this week, I’ve been thinking: Carpet’s meant to be a sergeant now, isn’t he? Aren’t leadership, prioritisation, and incident coordination supposed to be key skills? Instead he’s been focused on missing cats and damaged gateposts. #TheArchers
Second time around, I’m thinking that Chelsea / Madeleine Leslay’s acting was brilliant. Bravo, Madeleine. #TheArchers
If I were at the bedside of my partner after a serious accident, unsure how critical his injuries were, I'm not sure Joy's would be the call I'd take. No. Wait. We're about to find out she was an ICU consultant at the RVI in 2003, aren't we? #TheArchers

So, yet again, because working, can't join the #BritishMuseum #BayeuxTapestry queue bang on 10:00am, got on by 11:00ish, sat in queue, by 11:42, 248,447 ahead of me, at 12:06 still 246,054 (so only 2,500ish bought in 25mins?). Sigh. Media: I don't want to see photos of celebs given comps. Thank you
An email to confirm the date a parcel will be delivered... nice. Twice a day messages by both email and text saying, "it's getting closer"... spam.
Something going on with the #BBCNews app for the last couple of days (can't open stories from the home page), so tried to delete n re-install... Search app store for "BBC News" and guess what's top of the search results? *G*B*News. Ffs.
Anyone else see what I saw when I looked at this photo?
