And also, Robertson said, “We cannot defend Britain with an ever-expanding welfare budget.” While as part of a review he might criticise defence spending, surely other government priorities are not part of the brief.
Aren’t they just “ecky thump” caps, a long and distinguished tradition in that martial art in appropriately appropriated by the Peaky Blinders?
@trientertainment.bsky.social Episode 220: “interstercicies”? Do you mean “interstices”? And big gaps between things? They are literally the small gaps between close things.
The Loovre is the other side of the border in Berwick, built as a Victorian ladies public toilet, now a tiny Airbnb!
I’m surprised it has taken so long. In XC skiing the Euroloppet (and World Loppet) passports have existed for many years. Finish x out of y loppets (effectively XC ski marathons) and become a European (or World) Loppet Master.
The slow decline into decrepitude! Not sure what happened in 2018. A couple of the big mileage numbers are kilometreage numbers. The graphics exclude XC skiing and cycling.

Yes, my first week of bike lights, but more to be seen than to see at the moment.
Was that Bob Stanley?
Now the Balmoral Hotel?
From my wife, Elfie…
If I have bought directly via Bandcamp then the streaming/downloads are available without needing to use the code. If I have bought from elsewhere, I use the code to have the album added to my feed. I tend to stream via the app these days rather than download the audio.
Oh, thanks, I didn’t know about this!
@paulhenni.bsky.social Thanks for sharing this. We lived very close to several of the photos that I can see from the slideshow. Elfie wrote extensively about one particularly ruin and its history of murder and misogyny!

That’s not a password and do you really need to explain what a digit is?
A photo of cat sitting in some Venetian blinds they have just destroyed with the text JOY DIVISION at the top and UNKNOWN PLEASURES at the bottom
This might be my favourite cat meme of 2025 so far
You could grow fenugreek sprouts from 50 year-old seeds. Or they might be dead!
Seeds or dried leaves?
I think @alexvont.bsky.social if the @bunkerpod.bsky.social might want to listen to @therestpolitics.bsky.social as they seem to have the answer!
A shop front in Utrecht, the shop name is “Jason King”.
In the sequel his front is running a canal-side fashion boutique in Utrecht, but he’s likely teamed up with Van Der Valk to solve canal-based crime.
Well done!
I have two of these, Wire and Neneh Cherry, on mini-CD which seemed to be the new single format for about six months.
I wish I’d bought the Section 25 when I had the chance!
Also sheep trods across moorland, often taken advantage of by fell runners and walkers.
Elephant paths crop up in orienteering, obvious routes between legs taken by lots of earlier competitors.
It looks like he’s holding her hostage!
Cat!
Great gig!
