Not too many pics taken yesterday because I was showing my American guest around #Bath - my home town - although we did snap one of us in a pub, having a pint or three with an old friend of mine who always wears a vintage suit!
😡why is @jewishchron.bsky.social publishing an article by Nigel Farage ~ the antisemitic piece of drek who sang ‘gas ‘em all’ to fellow students?
My zaide and bubbe died in Auschwitz ~ IMO this man belongs to the same people that murdered them.
SHAME ON THIS PUBLICATION!
Let’s see if the Daily Torygraph, Daily Heil, and Daily Suppress report as loudly on this as they do on negative stories about @labouruk.bsky.social
In the 70's the Government owned Energy, it built houses, it owned Public Services and it employed people.
Now billionaires own it all, and they pay you too.
So every year prices go up more than wages.
It's not complicated why things are only getting worse.
It's billionaires
Yeah, he’s here all week then we are off for a blokey road trip around Italy!
Day Two of my American BFF visiting.
Day 0: Stonehenge,
Day 1: BOA and Wells,
Day 2: Bristol and SS Great Britain
Bluesky has activated the Emergency Pervert Filter, which makes the site basically unusable for known perverts. This filter was activated hours ago. Anyone struggling to use the site should notify their local police. Thank you!
OK, so my feed is back but not notifications. #BlueSkyDown
Shock news that Farage is a lying, gaslighting sack of shit. #ReformUK
I just tried to launch the app and it wouldn’t even show me the logo on the splash screen. Restarted the app a few times. No joy. Checked for updates - nothing. Tried again - all OK now.
😘
Bit of an arse of a day work-wise. Tomorrow is my last working day before I take some much needed holiday.
As you’d expect all my work projects are suddenly needing lots of attention and clients/colleagues are slightly tense about my absence, and finding a locum.
It’s almost as if I have value.
Get in!

Yikes!
Really good series of badminton games tonight followed by several beers in my local, where I met Americans and the (cute) step-mother of the landlady!
Now at the chippy awaiting large cod and chips! #MiddleAgedNirvana
You should definitely read this ...
Home from an extra band practice.
We’ve been offered a paid gig at a music festival, so obviously tonight’s practice involved us collectively fucking up just about every song we know (and play) well.
Right then. Time for the final episode of season 3 of #TheCapture. I caught up with the previous episode last night and blimey what a plot twist!
I still think the ditzy assistant (Paige?) is a mole.
Oh gosh yes. I'd forgotten about that. I think it'll be more like an Anglo-American version of Mortimer & Whitehouse Gone Fishing, only without any fishing. I'll be playing Bob Mortimer.
We’ve got a week here then a blokes’ road trip all around Italy. Stopping at AirBnBs. It’ll be like a Top Gear road trip but without horrendous egos!
I have my American BFF arriving for two weeks here/Italy on Friday. Might do a trip to Cirencester.
Cafe looks great!
I love it too! It was one of the possible towns to move to when I moved back west. In the end it was just too far from Bath where my folks were.
Having a splendid Flat White at Coffee#1 in #Cirencester. Just needed to go somewhere different for the afternoon and Cirencester is a lovely option just 32 mins from home.
Passport: $165. Birth certificate: $45. Marriage certificate to prove your name changed: extra. Federal help to cover any of it: $0. The SAVE Act makes voting expensive on PURPOSE. Voting should be FREE!!!
…and that’s the main thing!
That said, I’m glad you saw what I did. I liked The Orb back in the day, and went to see them with one of my band mates, so I guess we were in the mood to see a live performance rather than DJing.
I went to see them at Komedia in Bath last year (or it might have been 2024. It was….err….disappointing. We left after an hour.
Hopefully they’ve improved their live act. We just had two middle-aged blokes hunched over laptops ignoring the audience and triggering samples.
Yes! #StandardByTen
Also, why are the most likely options (ie. Those at the top) Microsoft English…err.. I mean American English and Dutch?
I want actual English, as spoken by the English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish, as the first suggestion.
Wow @bsky.app your new ‘auto translation’ feature sure has degraded the paid user experience big time!
Every f**king time I open the app, it wants me to confirm my default language before it then tries to translate my entire timeline afresh.
Why isn’t it picking up my device’s default language?
