trying not to fuck the planet or anyone else up… enjoying beer, music and wildlife along the way. Optimist that we’re finally past peak-right-wing-arsehole?
that does sound sub-optimal tbf, so I can understand him not being completely elated
bit of a head-scratcher this, but I’m fairly sure it’s “just tip the whole lot straight onto the table so it pours onto all diners’ laps”
I had too much to dream last night - thanks for that, smartwatch
so we learned from yesterday’s discourse… there are a lot of arsehole cyclists in London (but killing somebody is a million to one chance)… arsehole drivers are the problem for the rest of the country and people are dying every single day - what’s the next step then, guys?
imagine taking a camper up to John o Groats and beyond to visit the North Eastern tip of Scotland, then finding that an allocated parking space had been stolen by someone with #carbrain who didn’t want a door opened onto their new toy. car ownership offers the freedom to hate every other road user
BBC Scotland asking for listeners’ favourite opening lines… someone has suggested “she came from Greece, she had a zest for knowledge”
sheesh - Uncle Bill’s words even more relevant forty years on… “in last years trousers and your old school shoes”
any other weekend, this would have been the main news story and horrified a nation… “everyone hates cyclists, right?” so if you come across a group on a Saturday morning ride it’s fine to plough a car into them and kill a couple Two killed as car hits group of cyclists www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

crime number for the vicious assault by Reform members that has gone viral… presumably new crime numbers will be issued for the other attacks which are now circulating. I think the crutches fella might stay in his hotel room today, or mebbz head home
Reform’s chances at the next GE have literally not registered any change in the betting markets. Farage is correct: his voters don’t care about scandals. Jailing the bastard is the only answer

these lads who drive along in wheelie mode..? just seen one riding without a front wheel
Everything is terrible, but the SF Fire Department recently assisted in a wild parrot rescue and the *photos* www.instagram.com/p/DcuE-v4ErP...
“fatally hurt” - seriously BBC staff you absolute fucking arseholes - show some respect. Was that how you described Diana’s injuries. Oh, just fuck off
Some people have to go back to school next week. But not me. Because I’m old. Ha ha! Old, do you hear me? Ha ha! Chew on that you little rotters! Old! Mwah ha ha!
walking along a pretty silent New St yesterday… chap on a mobility scooter gave us a start when his speaker started up with some introductory beats. I didn’t recognise the tune but the vocal came in and “Mr Loverman” raised a wry smile, given the source.
Birmingham City Council… £4.4bn budget that won’t stretch another £50k for a tow truck to protect citizens’ lives
Atlas that flew over the back garden at lunchtime has just passed Corsica (en route to Cyprus?)
I drive a car, but dear god it seems that 99% of drivers are absolute arseholes: driver spokesman blaming short skirts and speed cameras for 28,000 crashes (not all him).
"[Speed cameras are] like pretty girls in short skirts, another distraction" Aging pervert Hugh Bladon of the Alliance of Bad Drivers
This is the letter kids got at the end of Dolly’s Imagination Library. I defy you to read this and not cry.
