People who put their birthdate in their username eh. Not the brightest.
It turns out if you mention 'cups' in recipes on here, you can trap Americans into outrage, then make a pie out of them.
Standard UK measurements: 1. Wales (various, quite large things) 2. A football pitch (wildfires etc) 3. A Rizla (quite thin) 4. A gnat's cock (small tolerances) 5. A knob of butter 6. Dollop (a splodge, e.g cream) 7. A country mile (seems longer than a mile) 8. Jiffy (couple of secs)
Petition to ban the use of 'cups' as a measurement in recipes online.
Sunday pub roasts are twice the density of a regular roast. I now can’t manage stairs, or do my belt up, and I’ve developed my own gravitational field.
Watching the 1979 All Quiet on the Western Front. The one with Ernest Borgnine, Jon boy Walton, Donald Pleasance and Mr Branson from Grange Hill. Have to say I still think it’s the best, most faithful version. Much as I love the others obviously.
Anglia Square from the air, 29 July. Demolition was due to finish in spring, but Sovereign House and other major buildings remain. On 9 June, the council blamed further asbestos in the former QD building for “a slight delay”. No revised completion date has been given. #Norwich #AngliaSquare
Flowering cactus thread for your delectation. It's a Trichocereus Pachanoi, lives outside, albeit under and umbrella of sorts in the winter. I'm fleece avoidant, and only use that if it goes below about minus 5ºC. Anyway, it's just done this.
Nick Stone@typejunky.bsky.social · last wk.My rather beautiful Trichocereus Pashanoi is about to do its thing. I’m quite excited.
If any hackers out there want to fuck over the soulless book killers by messing with their servers, become a hero, go for it. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

Overwhelming smell of shit coming from the River Wensum tonight. Can’t think why, what with our local water company and their huge bills and massive dividends. #cunts
Just sort of love anyone who loves birds really.

If I were ever in a position to make a film of anything I’ve written, there are various roles I’d like Marc Warren to do. There’s something quite odd about him.
The last photo of Boo. Lost her today. She’s been the house queen for 9 years, a proper ginger personality. She’s been ill for a while, the treatments stopped working, so she had a final week of no special diet and eating whatever she liked and being totally over-fussed.
Burnham should tax anyone who land banks. Any property left empty by private equity or developers, suddenly becomes much less attractive. Then push to develop them as social housing. It would also lift derelict areas too. Three birds, one stone.
Arguments about historical accuracy brought to you by the same minds who say the bible is a true story.
I was a teenage stamp collector, I lay on my back and you stamped on my face.
