Architectural tip #881 If you're an architect/builder in an area prone to hurricanes, try a) designing large warehouse-y type buildings with aerodynamic sides and roofs so that bigly winds go round and over, not straight under an overhanging flat roof. b) Use more/bigger nails.

Tech-fan alert! Just been notified of a wonderful new kickstarter. A tiny, dinky, baby smol mouse. I suspect ideal for children under 2 and cats, but will cause hand cramp and RSI in an adult within about 3 minutes. All for $85. Why don't 'entrepreneurs' think these things through?
Feck off and keep fecking off until you get in the sea🙄 This is a land grab by a Company. We're being bought up like a patchwork quilt so you don't notice.
All in breach of S.7 of the Public Order Act, and thus committing a criminal act, Police all doing nothing This must be terrorism - they clearly are failing to hold up blank pieces of paper, which is de jure terrorism.
What the hell is going on here and why isn't this terrorism rather than 'a protest'? All men, all in black, all in masks, storming a ferry port. No more info on it yet but if this is the small boat nonces then they're even thicker than I thought. These are big boats mate they're just far away.
Technology, eh? Just done 6 hours in the community shop. Lunchtime the card machine dies. Turns out to be the internet connection has dropped. Re-booting router doesn't help. Generally panic and 'have you got cash'? Oooh - use our backup sumup machine. Which needs WiFi - bugger! Back 30 mins later
The gods are angry! The great Toilet Tick is consuming the Sun! The Gods demand a sacrifice. Only blood will satisfy them and regurgitate the bright life-giver back to us. Everyone on the bus to Clacton! Bring your seaxes, (and a guillotine if you have one).
Clearly NOT for sharing. 4 pints of mead (with a Turnip Gin chaser) is nothing. Also handy as a water bucket to try and extinguish the flames.
Happy #InternationalBeerDay! Here’s a 2,000-year-old whopper of a tankard from Iron Age Britain, designed to hold 4 pints! 🍺 🍺 🍺 🍺 Probably passed around for communal drinking! Cheers! 🍻 Oak staves sheathed in bronze. From the River Thames at Kew. London Museum 📷 by me #FindsFriday #Archaeology
Any cat experts? I took in a rather rough young feral last year. Settled in nicely and is seriously domesticated. But... In the last couple of weeks he's forgotten that he should shit & wee outside. Earlier did a shit next to the food bowls, and pissed in the middle of the bed! How do I train him?
7 assorted keys of unknown usage. A pre-USB charger for a long-dead phone. Several assorted pre-Euro coins (francs, marks, guilders)
The plastic handle for an Ikea Allen key without the Allen key.
Mo is having surgery tomorrow for breathing difficulties and he has sent this. Things are tough, it’s taken 2 months to achieve a third of our total of the Chuffed campaign to buy a good supply of cat food, if you can spare a few squid 🤞 chuffed.org/project/1841...
Are we seeing signs of Bluesky accounts being hacked for uncertain purposes? I've had a few unprovoked blocks from accounts that seem to have been dormant for a year or more. What are they up to? Watch out, denizens. That poor starving beggar may be a Viking in disguise.
I wonder if I can get formatting in Bluesky? e.g. 𝗯𝗼𝗹𝗱 or 𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘤
Does that include traditional Belgian Waffles made in Wales?
Effective immediately. I have signed an Executive Order banning Belgian waffles, because the World Cup was rigged and stollen.
Evening denizens, Just warning that I aim to be rather quiet on here for a few weeks. I have a shed-load of work to do, & MUST avoid daytime distraction by Wülferhampton. I think I'll go to Ljiferpuöl to investigate opportunities for turnip export. I'll take Brenda & Brenda as admin support, obvs.
Just had a brief stroll in the drizzle past the turnip fields and heard a few birdies which the ingenious technology in my phone identified as European Stonechats. I thought I'd take a photo to brighten your day #ShitBirdPhotos
It's breaking my heart that the house isn't being turned into a museum to be a permanent home for all of this. Come on national trust, English heritage, v&a or whoever, keep it all together.
Oh my...
Old story. Amber Rose Barnes, 36, enters the sick cunt charts at #87 for killing a husky puppy. Yankee gun nuts should have to pass a test to get a licence - 3 rounds hand-to-paw cage fighting a female Kodiak bear separated from her cub. That'll show whether they're man enough to handle a gun.
Bloody Microsoft and AI There's now an AI button floating on my document. Right click it for options and get this: Dear Microsoft: why isn't there an option to "BURN IT WITH FIRE!"
To arms! The blasted Vikings are coming to try and SELL us stuff. The only currency they understand is cold, sharp steel. And a bonk on the head with a club.
Errrrr,r this is the same bloke and company that right now are building two new nuclear power stations, one about five years away the other fifteen years away (Hinkley and Sizewell C). Has he just admitted Britain does not need these?
