English bloke, tolerant of pretty much anything consensual that anyone wants to do. Amazes me how few replies beginning "So" are worth reading.
How can you have an article extolling the wonders of the woodlouse without even mentioning that they taste exactly like prawns? As I well know. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Truly bizarre. Don't Talk TV have caller id in their phones? I'm sure you'll laugh but people listening to this nonsense will begin to believe that this reflects public opinion.
Stop Funding Hate@stopfundinghate.bsky.social · 2w agoWhen the genuinely 100%-real people calling in to Talk TV start sounding very similar... This is what the #OpenUniversity are aligning with by advertising on Talk:
Just realised that my phone case from @gailmyerscough.co.uk is a year old. Not a blemish, not a sign of wear despite a year of abuse.
The Cottrell revelations keep coming and coming…. Watch out for @bylinetimes.bsky.social’s imminent exclusive

Well, this will be fun in a few minutes
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4w agoTrump: "Spain is a wasted cause. We don't want to do any trade business with Spain anymore, by the way. I'd like to cut it off. Spain is a terrible partner in NATO. Cut off all trade with Spain, please. Including visits. We don't want anything to do. They're hopeless. Bad people."
Had a Restore leaflet delivered today. When I went to give it back, it was somewhat tragic to see that the leafletter had brought along his 8 to 10yo daughter to help him deliver leaflets demanding that children who might well be at school with her be sent "home".
A heartbreaking yet inspirational tale.

It’s the 63rd anniversary of former SAS man Detective Sergeant Harold Challenor arresting a cartoonist, planting half a brick on him, and actually saying the words “You’re fucking nicked, my beauty” out loud. Mind you, he had an... interesting life 🧵
GUYS - I’ve just realised what Farage is going to do… The thing is he now has NO WAY to proceed which doesn’t humiliate him. If he wins, he is, as Rachel Reeves put it, The Man Who Spent His Summer Arguing With A Bin. If he bails, he’s The Man Who Fled From A Bin. And if he LOSES…
It has been criminally underreported but Kelsey Pfendler has just rowed solo across the Pacific Ocean from the US coast to Hawaii in record time. A 2,400-mile unsupported journey in 43 days, 17 hours, and 55 minutes. Notably beating the Men’s record by 9 whole days.

Saying you're the "most physically attacked" MP when two MPs have been killed in the last decade is just horribly self-absorbed.
This is not a statement, it's a party political broadcast. Why is the BBC airing Farage lying, unchecked? Why put this out live when you don't know what lies he's going to tell? Why not wait until he's put it out, and then broadcast it with analysis that fact checks it... or not broadcasting it?
From what I can see, June 2026 was the best BEV month in the UK ever except for a few December outliers that are caused by seasonal cycles.
🇬🇧 UK - June 26 - BEV Trajectory 30.0% BEV 12.5% PHEV 57.5% ICE (of which 14.0%p were HEV) Trailing 12 months are: 25.2% BEV 12.6% PHEV 62.2% ICE (of which 13.9%p were HEV) Graphs are available in the Gallery: leraffl.github.io/LeRaffl-Gall...
If anything, this understates the situation as the backward walk on climate action won't just affect Americans; it'll affect everyone on the planet.

Wonderful cartoon by @tomgauld describes my bookshelf pretty accurately. Give him a follow if you enjoy books or science. Also buy his stuff and find out which category his books will be in your library!
If I were a William Hill shareholder I'd be concerned that they weren't prepared to take on anything greater than a £20 liability. I'm sure I can hear William Hill doing somersaults in his grave.
And so it has come to pass. Just tried to place a small bet with Hills on a 14/1 shot in a big Sandown TV race tomorrow and was refused as it exceeded my “maximum stake” of £1.43. They’d not had the courtesy to inform me I was now restricted. I remain down with them over the last twelve months.
