David Attenborough bmhad his best work ahead of him!
You’ll never guess the way this thread ends (at least I didn’t) but it’s incredible
Sitting on the sofa working whilst Sandi sits next to me looking oh so elegant #proofofcat
We used to be a proper country. With proper graphics.
No Street Hawk? Disappointing
Best way for Zach Polanski to deal with the gossip about his past is surely just to make a clean breast of it, get it all off his che...(gunshot rings out)
This is just fact, not opinion.
He hasn't been explicit about it but he said there was something about the working environment he didn't like IIRC Between Barrowman whipping his "little Barrowman" out every few minutes, and Clarke being an out and out creep, I think he's been pretty much vindicated.
Another game from the same company I loved is "Soma". Only one spot really scared me, but the plot and imagery is so unnerving I found myself thinking about it for weeks later.
"Amnesia the Dark Descent" a horror game without any weapons with Dated graphics (even at the time of release), was the one game that really made me nervous. There's a bit where there's an invisible creature chasing you, you can only tell where it is through the splashes it makes in the water...
Loved that game
Haha. Feel like the BBC are under instructions to say how great the Hundred is etc.
Although I am quite enjoying the commentators pretending there has been any competitive game there. It was clearly done by about ball 40.
Anyway. Already feels this game is done. Trent's batting just hasn't got started and they lost 3 big wickets. Watched a couple of Hundred games this year, and its felt like a 50% chance the game will be a boring one sided affair.
Personally I think "Three-pete" is a vile Americanism and should be banned. #thehundred
*surprised face* I always thought you were funded by "Big Burrito"

But the most exciting news of the day is – yes, of course – it’s the 48th anniversary of the beginning of The Enfield Haunting, when a COMPLETELY REAL poltergeist moved furniture, made knocking noises and caused children to levitate
I've become lazy in my old age. I get about £50-70 of vouchers for Xmas and then pick up stuff only in sales, and that covers my gaming for the whole year. I don't mind playing games from a few years ago, and too old for online franticness, so it fits me.
Currently Ghost of Tsushima on the PS4. Got it in a sale Open world Samurai stuff is entertainingly different enough. It's fun in a fairly undemanding way.
Am trying to play my PlayStation game in peace, but sandy is trying to distract me with ever more ridiculous sleeping poses
The Tacos giveth, and the Tacos taketh away
But there's some misinformation going on here from someone Was it a Focus? Or an ageing Toyota? Crucial information...
Ironically, *this* is the kind of thing you couldn’t make any more: a deep, single-issue intellectual discussion lasting 45 minutes.
TBF he golfs most Sat/Sun according to this didtrumpgolftoday.com
Honestly the only time Tiktok broke through to the mainstream IMO as something "distinctly tiktok" was that brief fad for Sea Shanties. The one that went around everywhere where different people layered on top (with variable success) felt unique but spread over every platform.
I think the US is still in a massive mess as the right has found out they can go much further than they dreamed without bad electoral consequence, through the entirety of the system. But I think what's left of the republican party will resemble a bit more conventional politics as factions fight.
I'm not saying everything will be fine, just that the movement will fracture some without a unifying centre, and there will be far more visible infighting. The political platform is utterly incoherent but held together by Trump as figurehead, with the only unifying policy being deportations.
It won't die, but it might diffuse as it loses a big focal point. Trump had a unique presence as someone with the image of being a smart rich businessman, who also didn't talk in "clever" language, but gave permission for all sorts of dark instincts. Not sure anyone can replicate that.
Haha I remember the odd stop motion music video. Just found out from wikipedia it was created in 7 days by a team of students to show on TV with hours to spare, lol. youtu.be/FCARADb9asE?...
Ohh I hate it when that happens. People you know who are reasonable on both sides but they've hit red lines with each other somehow.
154 years is just enough time for them to have crawled along the bed of the Atlantic Ocean to the British Isles. They’ll probably make landfall tonight, their little shiny head heads emerging from the surf.
Oh dear. Take it easy now, you definitely deserve it!
Blimey. Seriously impressive
This.... is an insane thing to say for anyone managing people. If the CEO of my company came out with this I'd be on the job search web sites faster than you can say "uncertainty is bad for everyone"
Did she direct Attack on Precinct 13 at least?
Just looked it up and it sold for about half it's original asking price www.housebeautiful.com/uk/lifestyle...
Haha I feel the same when I get emails from them bsky.app/profile/notj...
Sandi decided to supervise my work again this morning Helpful as ever!
There is one awesome mission towards the end which is cool as eggs (think the fun Mass Effect Andromeda mission on the space ship where gravity keeps flipping, but with a thumping soundtrack that works with it). But yeah a little bit of a slog.
I quite enjoyed control. But the shooter sections can feel.a.bit samey at times. But I really liked the paranormal aesthetic, and got quite a few of the references as I used to love reading about that stuff when I was a kid.
For a statement on your penis size, more than a nice house to live in. Madness.
Yeah we are watching it. Trying to precisely cut those massive beams so long in advance was mad
I could have told him he would have trouble with his precision drilled timbers. Timber isn't plastic or steel you have to put in a surprising amount of tolerance for it.
Or Pierce Brosnan as a person who could sing in 'Mamma Mia'?
Thousands have shared a video on social media that claims 43 Labour MPs have ”just resigned” as a result of “the biggest UK scandal in decades”. None of this is true, and the video appears to have been created with AI.
I know, was being deliberately silly on a terribly minor point. Sorry if that didn't come across that way
I thought @davidallengreen.bsky.social was a serious, details orientated man. But my wife pointed out this pun doesn't really work as everyone knows Subway don't butter their sandwiches.
Someone start a petition to update the phrase "can you do it on a rainy night in Stoke" to "can you do it on a wet midweek in Grimsby"
Plus Grimsby seemed more up for it from the start, and Man U spent the first half on the back foot.
Man U are on a mediocre run. They've got an expensively assembled squad with players signed under three different permanent managers, and although Amorim was highly rated when he came in, he seems to have a very specific idea of what formation/team he wants. And these players ain't it.
Lol
Fair to say Man U scoring was not wildly acclaimed on my timeliness
I did think it would get boring, or old seeing the giants of Man U declining. It hasn't yet, lol
OK they were terrible last season under him, but the excuse was he hadn't had a pre season to implement his ideas. What's the excuse now?
I was wondering if Amorim would survive to the winter break if results don't improve. On seeing this performance I'm wondering if he will make Halloween. #GriManU
Sandi is comfortable I guess...
Weirdly I heard about him from a UK wrestling podcast, as there was a phase of "Purple Aki" signs turning up at wrestlemania etc, and they went in to the lore of him etc. E.g. www.reddit.com/r/Liverpool/...
This was a great lineup right up my street, and I think I went to the Leeds one this year. Think I watched something else headlning a different stage to the Charlatans though, sorry Tim.
You aren't even going to consider reining it in?
I was today years old (46) when I found out it had a separate meaning, lol. Neant to watch Tenet at some point
Descriptive text on images from bizarre right wing polemical fantasy book "Atlas Shrugged": John Galt text
My notebook is suffering the agony of existence.
No it can't suffer, you shitwits. Stop anthropomorphising a probability engine. There is some truly fucking dreadful coverage of AI, and the idiot Guardian is one of the worst offenders.
E.g. "The Watch" books are about an offbeat police in a fantasy city kindof similar to a number of real cities. It would be a good start for me, e.g. start with "Guards Guards" The "Witches" is also good, about some Witches that reference Shakespeare and fairy's and all sort "Wyrd Sisters" for that
There are a load of them all set in the same world, but you really don't have to read through to get a good idea IMO. I'd say start with one of "arcs' within the world that contain the same set of characters, they started when Pratchett had found his voice and developed the world better...
So, like, even if there hadn't been two Supreme Court decisons in living memory directly holding that flag burning is protected under the First Amendment, *new criminal laws cannot be created by executive order.*
The Wolverhampton Wolverine was unavailable for comment.
A year today since we picked Sandi up from the Cat sanctuary. We don't know her exact age, but it was estimated by them as 1-2y old. So we've declared this as her second birthday.
Co-signed times a thousand. “Other people have no interiority” is, fundamentally, a deeply evil belief to hold which will lead you exclusively to terrible places
I stand by my theory that a major aim of this is to get footage of people or the council taking these flags down, so you can spread it on social media as examples of how people hate our country.
He always gets some. Is why he comes.running at the first sound of the electric knife 😀
POV - You are at my parent's house helping out with dinner, and have just began to carve the meat....
More seriously Jonny Greenwood's brother plays in Radiohead...
Ahem Jedward?
That is unless you become president and aliens attack
For some reason the word "Jailbird" has triggered a memory of "So I Married an Axe Murderer" and the phrase "Rose, Jailbird" from Mike Myers' poem at the end
I think we all do that a bit don't we? We all have a little voice in our head that says "advertising/politics/campaigns/our social media environs has no effect on me..." and to a lesser or greater degree it always does. But agreed it's more obvious in columnists who write about this phenomena.
The cynic in me thinks this is exactly what those painting and putting up thes flags want. They are hoping to get footage/stories of the council and/or people who "hate are country" covering them up or moving them. Would spread on their niche on social media if they manage it.
Yeah, trying to make a brief bit of notoriety into a media career. Darren Grimes probably fits the bill too.
And Noel Clarke wasn't someone at the top of the tree! He was successful in the scale of the UK film industry in that he had produced a number of films with reasonable success. But he was hardly at the scale of a Weinstein. Makes you wonder how many such stories just get nixed early at first hint
If a blog or a local newspaper or any publication without the resources and legal team of a large newspaper had published the exact same research and story what would have happened? Likely the story would have been quietly taken down as they could not afford such a legal fight
This is clear a good thing. But it shows how hard it is to get such allegations published if a mid tier UK film actor/producer can sue in a way that requires an expensive months long defence. "Noel Clarke loses libel case over sexual misconduct investigation" www.theguardian.com/media/2025/a...
Beautiful collection of horrible and extremely weird novelty songs: vole.wtf/vtv/ Thought far from exclusively British, there's so much mesmerizing Bringe ("British Cringe") light entertainment content I think it should get UNESCO cultural heritage recognition like the demoscene did in Scandinavia.
Haha. An accurate representation of how we used to play point and click games youtube.com/shorts/3vDnE...
Yeah I got the capital wrong too. Bah.
Precision is overrated in singing IMO. Enthusiasm counts for more.
I feel we all understand the natural progression of the Swedish church story
Son passed his driving test, so anyone driving near the Bearwood/Smethwick area of the Midlands should definitely beware. Avoid the area if you can. Save yourselves
This is awful. I don't know what other levers the Police can pull here, but this, currently is lretty much nothing. There should be repercussions for those who spread false and danger inducing information like this. Is there no legal avenue he can follow? No police action.
Sandi cat looks non-plussed that I have continued working even though she has decided my lap is a sensible place to sit, and she's squeezed behind the laptop
In a similar vein my son frequently points our Rosa Parks could have watched Shrek 1 & 2
The country with the highest SPAM consumption per capita is Hawaii
Also search on RFK and Samoa for a fun little insight into his nature.
I remember that. Used to mention to my wife I was expecting him to declare "My leg's much nicer than yours Dot!" And stuff. youtu.be/huCJiJqJZdw?...
A fundamental problem with politics is consequences of actions are sometimes years downstream from them. Tied up with the political chaos of the last decade, many of the architects of this policy aren't in parliament even. No-one will even face even small political consequences from things like this
Yuk sorry about that. I know well with my Asthma, sometimes I think "I feel fine and can skip them for a while and be ok" but I deteriorate surprisingly fast if I get an issue and I'm not taking them. Not advised to skip for me. As Lee says see if there is any financial help from citizens advice
