A wet Sunday afternoon spent watching The Mummy with a big mug of tea and a packet of Ginger Nuts is my idea of heaven.

Huish Episcopi really ought to be in 12th century Italy, not Somerset.

‘Wah wah wah…it’s not our fault…poor us…blame the nasty man and his cronies…what can we do?’

Shut the fuck up. We’re all bored of your whining.

Is that where we are nowadays? A fascist that loses an election is to be praised for not trying stage a coup? Have I got that right…?

No need for fancy high-tech solutions…what’s wrong with a good old fashioned stoning to death?

Let’s see how well this plays in Buttfuck, Idaho once American marines and sailors start coming home in coffins.

When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 in stamp duty, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should resign if she had “any moral decency”.

Now we learn he set up four shell companies that let him avoid paying £100,000 he owed in tax and to then transfer the cash to Reform

Does that help?

Then stop moaning and handwringing online about it. We are all fucking sick of the shitshow you have inflicted on the world.

Yeah, but…whilst the overwhelming majority of decent Americans keep *saying* this, what are you actually *doing* about it?

I have (had) a good friend of nearly 30 years who was an actual hippy back in the ‘70’s that has turned into a full-on stop the boats/GB News/Reform conspiracy loon since he retired. I no longer keep in touch because it is so sad - and so fucking tiring - listening to him rant.

GB News headline: GP who asked Muslim woman to remove her veil 'because he was struggling to understand her' is struck off.

Was this GP struck off just because he asked a Muslim woman to remove her veil?

How likely does that sound? 🤷‍♀️

Did he actually ask her to remove her veil 'because he was struggling to understand her?'

Let's take a look at what really happened based on the tribunal reports...

I saw the Pretenders at a tiny venue a couple of years ago and was no more than 20 feet away from her when she was on stage. All I could think was ‘fucking hell - that’s Chrissie Hynde!’

‘Completely outsourcing your thinking’ is *excellent*.

I am going to shamelessly steal that and use it often, thanks.

One of my all time favourite songs. I first heard it in about ‘79 (and still have the single) but 46-odd years on, I still don’t have a bloody clue what a Sonic Reducer is…

There are a few people that I *genuinely* think the world would be much better off for if they died. He is one of them.

They are just impotently angry at *everything* all the time. They don’t even believe what they say, it’s just angry noise and frothing at the mouth fury.

As someone (I forget who) said ‘there’s no hate quite like Christian love’…

A bit of street art from this mornings dog walk.

Our family has one of those which must be about the same age. All through my childhood it was referred to as ‘the camper wood chest’. Imagine my surprise when I was about 30 and I discovered it was actually *Camphor* wood…

I can confirm that it still smells gorgeous when you open it, too.

If the film Independence Day were to happen now, the rest of the world would join forces with the Aliens against America.

A Bristolian colleagues granddaughter asked if if they could ‘go to the store and buy some candy’. Madness.

To paraphrase Saint Dolly, it takes a lot of money to look that cheap.

It would be ironic if you could build one by buying the parts off Amazon.

The Star of David and the swastika stand for the same thing nowadays.

Yeah…Americans keep saying that whilst doing absolutely fuck all about it.
