The guy on the left might be RAF because he looks to be fighting the war in carpet slippers. 🫣
The jaunty hat on the guy on the right.
Mafia Don.
This wasn't what I had in mind when I heard there was a show coming called The Celebrity Traitors.
Got to admit, it wasn’t the camouflage that immediately grabbed my attention.
A quick watch of the People’s Front of Judea sketch from Monty Python’s Life of Brian would be a valuable teaching tool in this matter.
Not Seychelles flag, Sierra Leone.
Back in the 70’s a friends mum was a firebrand SNP supporter. Her favourite pastime was attending Tory hustings. There was always a Union flag behind the speaker. As soon as the event started she would shout “You can’t even hang the flag the right way up !” and the event would collapse into chaos.
It has always been the convention that, where the flagpole is not explicitly seen it is always assumed to be on the left. Look at any page or book illustrating national flags, they all conform to this convention.
Another good question would be, “why did the UK believe that sending an ambassador with strong links to Epstein would be advantageous to the UK while Donald Trump was in charge ?”
His greatest gift to human life was his departing from it.
Thee is no situation so bad that Johnson can’t make worse with a few incontinent ejaculations.
I defer to Quentin Letts’ first hand experience of the furnishings in Turkish brothels.
Is the Pope a Catholic ?
TL:DR We won’t be telling anyone anything, because, reasons 😡 www.met.police.uk/foi-ai/metro...
If you ever need a passably reliable source on the world’s most god-awfully hideous aircraft, I know a few I could nominate. (You know who you are !)
Nothing will ever spoil your enjoyment of rugby more than knowing just enough about the Laws to get frustrated at the refs decisions.
Your Alt text is wrong. They are Seamews, not Sturgeons. I wouldn’t be surprised if the original FB post got it wrong, they often do.
Ignoramia.
WTAF !
Homeschooled, by idiots.
Strangely, a mixed fabrics (which I assume could contain coloured cottons) takes 50 minutes. 🤷♂️
4.5 hours for coloured cottons in ours !
“Missed your connection”
Is Griffons in Africa ?
Have you been on a tour of the historic wind tunnels at Farnborough ?
A 💩 ?
😱
Cough* Bayesian cough*
Not sure about the aircraft but you were definitely at a primary school pottery class today.
When Alexander the Great’s army camped by the shore of the Arabian Sea en-route from India, the Greeks fled in panic when they saw the sea was receding from the shore. They had never seen a tide before and assumed, from their experience at home, that an earthquake & tsunami were imminent.
……..and there are still idiots that think this shower could run a country. 🤮
She’s confusing her life with an episode of Doogie Howser, poor dear ! Alzheimer’s did the same kind of thing to my mum.
Nope, I don’t have the wings for the whole flying away thing.
I thought the Scotland v Fiji match was the most exciting match up of the tournament so far, then I watched the USA v Australia 😮
The Chevette, a car idolised by all my friends when it first came out, when we were all too young to drive.
I fear you may be right. Maybe they wouldn’t rather see their own child dead but I’m sure if that happened they would quickly find a way to rationalise it that would enable them to keep on doing what they want to do.
Whatever the reasons for US school shootings, the one thing that seems clear to me is that Americans love their own children and want them to be safe. But, other people’s children ? Nope, they don’t give a damn about them, especially if child safety would require a change to their own lifestyle.

Please, please, please, tell me that Lord Justice Bean’s first name is Roy.
Not a bad crop of grapes for a Tyneside back yard ! We only planted the vine so it would hide the outside plumbing.
1. Well stocked wine rack 2. Good book 3. Enough time to enjoy both
This, absolutely this. We should be ashamed.
In the throes of a midlife crisis ?
It appears at the top of every google search I do and I only ever read it for the laughs.
60+ books already purchased and on my reading list, still buying books faster than I can read them 🙄
Awww no ! I was so looking forward to it, especially as it’s been pushed as a factual historical drama. I’ve recorded it and now I’m going to have to delete it and cancel the series recording. ☹️
I googled the registration and this AI generated bollox popped up. Read it and weep
Bit of a change from the WRWC in Dublin in 2017 where the matches were played on University pitches in front of crowds of a few hundred !
I had been circumspect with my online posts prior to my hols but the shackles are off now 😆 For UK citizens the big change has been, previously an ETIAS guaranteed entry, now the final decision is with the border guard. If he’s a MAGAT and sees you’ve been dissing Felon47, you could be in trouble.
You are asked for your social media identities on the ESTA visa waiver form. Can’t imagine why if they weren’t going to check.
Erupted like a pimple on a supermodel’s arse.
I’ve never been rich enough to be able to afford cheap things.
Slip wing. "Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose”
Leaving for Sunderland shortly. I’ll be spending a few hours in the fan zone with friends before watching Eng v USA at WRWC2025. Been looking forward to this for so long.
It was a condition imposed by the organising committees of the HSBC 7’s and the IOC, a fact that has, without a doubt, gone straight over your head. You’re not very good at “not embarrassing yourself online,”maybe find a different hobby, just saying. 🤷♂️
I’m Scottish.
Are your eight followers at all entertained by your 💩 ? Or do you jump into more popular timelines because they find you unbearably tedious too ?
Not sure I would put much faith in any prediction from someone whose study of the Women’s game failed to notice that England couldn’t field a team for the HSBC 7’s or the 2024 Summer Olympics because only entries from Team GB were accepted for those competitions. 😂
I have those editions still sitting on my bookshelf, bought while I was a teenager, many moons ago.
No. No you didn’t.
She’ll be talking about her home in Dubai, right ? Right ? 😬
Some info about the NCR Women’s tour here. It was a great match, USA won 20-36 www.ncr.rugby/news/wheels-...

Conspiracy theorists in three, two, one !
Just finished Titanium Noir and wanted to say it was immensely enjoyable. My most entertaining read in a long time. So looking forward to starting Sleeper Beach.
Justnot Bieber.
Sorry, pardon, what ?!!!!!! 😳
👏👏👏
The more you say, the more embarrassed I get for you and the Labour Party. None of what you say above alters the fact that either, A). You don’t know what you are talking about B). You know the facts but are willing to ignore them to get your dog whistle out, in the hope of a few more tawdry votes.
My Mrs. is off to a secret location to watch an England WRWC squad training session. I successfully found an alternative outlet for my blooming awkwardness. Everyone wins.
2 relevant hits !
I googled “Naval Aircraft Factory N3N” and on the first two pages of hits. The “Semi-official” names in order of frequency. Yellow Peril. 12 times N3N only. 4 times Yellow Bird. 1 time Canary. 1 time So I must concede my error and agree that Canary was obviously the Common Name 🙄
Michael ! Michael ! Griffons is just making shit up again.
No voter with a brain in the right place would vote for an old, stale, racist, misogynist, con man.
If I had to explain anything to the Sopwith “Pup” I would patiently point out that a Nickname is a real thing while a semi-official name is a nonsense without a meaning.
That’s the Women’s rugby starting again so I was out with my camera. Durham County Summer Social 10’s www.flickr.com/gp/16645532@...
There is no such thing as a semi official name ! I may have to ask the famously unbiased @vivamjm.bsky.social to adjudicate if you’re going to argue.
Well done. I was still working on the OoO as I didn’t find any mention of a recognised name for the N3N
Enjoyed the review. Looking forward to reading the book. The Windup Girl & The Water Knife are among my favourite books. If only he would write a follow up of the former.
If you like your misinformed scaremongering to be lurid, over the top and filled with unconnected and irrelevant historical facts, this will be right up your alley. 😡
Misinformed scare mongering.
Never liked them. Ones I encountered as a boy were pure evil. On a narrow path between fields, going to visit family, the horse in one would grab my clothes and pull me into the barbed wire. The other, in a steep field to a local wood, would race to stamp on your hand as you scrambled up the slope 😡
It’s appalling that the only logical take away from this is that Trump thinks the talks are all about what he can get for himself. 🤮😡
I saw the Meta prompt under the post in the first photo and just knew it would be worth clicking. 😂😂😂
Early version of the Cope Cage.
Quite early in actual combat they found that having unequal numbers of guns in each wing led to a turning moment when they were fired and problems actually hitting anything. 🤨
So many great science fiction stories have been written about how comprehensively the societies in these things can get royally screwed up.
Designed by Jack Northrop after he left Lockheed and founded Avion Corporation. Avion was later subsumed into the eponymous Northrop company founded by Jack a few years later.
TL. Paramount AHRLAC TR. Miller JM-2 “PUSHY GALORE" BL. Bell Oionus I BR. Avion experimental No.1 Well that relieved the boredom of waiting for my delayed flight home.
I watched the documentary “Titan: The Oceangate disaster” I found it to be well researched and balanced. There is a building sense of impending doom as all the personnel changes occur over the years and, yes, Stockton Rush was a megalomaniac.
It would double the value of your unmade stash in a single purchase.
Initially read that as “Children will run trains….” And thought, well they couldn’t be any worse.
Completely misheard the commentator at the American Cornhole finals when he said one of the competitors had an 8-nil run. 😳
Getting older I really miss not having the appetite for enormous meals any more. Holidaying in Las Vegas and I’m only ordering an “appetiser” for each meal and I swear I’m still putting on weight.* * OK, the beers** may also be a factor. ** and the occasional cocktail.
