Iconic moment at the Downton Abbey premiere
Someone of no consequence. Pompey fan and ST holder for too many years. Likes music of most genres. Known by many names on this thing we call the internet: GOG, PissTake_Peg being the most noted. It’s a tradition, or an old charter or something.

Iconic moment at the Downton Abbey premiere
Who could forget… what was his name? 👀
👏👏👏
Yep. Saved time on stitching up wounds like paper cuts 👀😎😂
It’s what it was invented for 😎
Closing Banks’s? The outrage!
Nope. Still there though more of a restaurant than a pub now.
The two are not mutually exclusive. 👀
Once you accept, truly in your heart, that the laundry is never done, then you will know peace.
Just done a ‘virtual’ tour of the village I grew up (stop sniggering at the back) in. Barely recognise it now. Good to see the Chinese takeaway hasn’t changed though. 😎
For the second year in a row, Reform has banned me from attending its annual conference. So much for “free speech” etc. etc.

You really need to read the whole thread 😎
Yeah. Except the media are not doing the David role.
Labour MP @alexsobel.co.uk, @appgfairelections.bsky.social chair: “The government has a duty to identify and mitigate serious risks to Britain. “These now include the possibility of an extreme party securing a majority government with the support of less than three in ten voters.”
It's set to be a windy day on Wednesday, especially in the south, with coastal gales and inland gusts up to 45 mph 🌬️

I was very pleased with my new pink dress until my brother killed it for me in two words, which were: MR. BLOBBY.
Springtime for Farage and ReformUK… youtu.be/ovCf9VRLnDY?...
"Britain has been multicultural for the last 2000 years. That's why we have the Roman alphabet, a Middle East religion, Arabic numerals, a Syrian patron saint, an aristocracy with French ancestry and a German royal family." David Osland
His head looks like it’s been in a “cut ’n’ shut” shop. 👀
I don't think many undecided voters make up their minds by browsing Bluesky. Sorry, I know that's a controversial thing to say, but I don't think millions of voters are hanging on our posts, especially not the sort of voters who don't pay attention to politics except a bit around election time.
Makes the ‘Nazis’ easier to spot I suppose. 👀
Really enjoyed my time working there. 33 years of undetected crime. 👀
The Reform UK football shirt is Farage's (sad!) attempt to find his MAGA cap
The extended version on the album is even better and was used in the 1981 film Sharky’s Machine.
He did this. #ukpolitics
I'm getting tired of journalists coming out with takes like "Labour's comms are terrible". Yes, indeed, they are frustratingly poor, but this sanctimonious attitude from journalists is infuriating. They will do anything but accept that they are part of a media ecosystem that thrives on clickbait.

I have (very) vague recollections of reading The Stainless Steel Rat books. I couldn’t tell you what they were about or who any of the characters were. That’s how much of an impression it made on me
You’d have hated it 👀
Hated his Saturday evening ’light entertainment’ programmes. 👀
In The ‘Yard we had Annual Leave, Unpaid Leave and Sick Leave. Heaven forbid you hadn’t used your 10 days Sick Leave by April. 👀
And the sky is grey. Well, mostly.
Let’s be honest. Carswell is not alone. You don’t tweet unless you know it’s a popular belief. There are many in public roles, in pubs and at dinner tables who believe this. This is a persecution of Muslims in the UK and anyone with any sense of humanity, who cares about Britain must call this out .
It’s #Pompey, of course it couldn’t. 👀
This one? 👀 www.youtube.com/watch?v=wi0Y...
Farage is a traitor plain and simple.
Fake Patriot Farage is skipping Parliament for two days 'to help Donald Trump meddle with UK'
He isn't saying that at all, Alasdair (as I suspect you well know). He is saying he understands why people don't want asylum seekers *to be housed in hotels* - & pointing out that Labour policy is to close those hostels quickly, deal with the application backlog & house successful claimants properly
I used to have a flat in the house that was owned by the niece of legendary cricketer W G Grace. The house was a proper party house in the ‘swinging sixties’ and was often frequented by Mary Quant.
Not guilty, m’lud 👀😎
I'm proud of England too. Here's some hi res flag artwork for anybody who wants to hoist it.
#Pompey are standing firm on their position over Josh Murphy’s Fratton future. Leicester City are currently taking the view they are unlikely to be successful in their pursuit of the winger. Portsmouth News
We were contacted last week by a lady. She'd been locked out during the evening. She was concerned about the amount she'd been charged. It did seem excessive to me. 1/3
Did you know? A British 50 pence and 20 pence piece has the same diameter no matter what diametrically opposite points you choose to measure even though neither coin are actually round. The shape is an equilateral curve heptagon. This allows it to actually roll in coin slot machines.
Made the mistake of ‘driving’ through Farnham on Thursday at about 4:00pm. Took 20 mins to go the 300m from Castle St to South St. Compounded by an accident on the A3 sth bound at Petersfield. Took over 2 hrs to get from Fleet to Waterlooville. 😡
Finally on BBC (had to search for it though)… UK agrees £10bn deal to supply Norway with warships www.bbc.com/news/article...

Imagine getting that for your birthday or Christmas 😎

What’s it like living in your cosseted world?
If you say so 🙄
I refer you to my previous reply
It might have had something to with the size of PCs and monitors from 1995. They only had a small(ish) space on the table.
Tfw you get to work and discover your lovely volunteer from the day before has left you homemade flapjacks in uppercase to keep you going through a Saturday at work.
Doesn’t change the FACT that you’re clueless.

WTF, Sky News.
The worst legacy of the Beatles is that singers are expected to be writers to be legitimate. No one complains that Dame Judy Dench didn't write Shakespeare.
Entitled tax-dodging grifters cost this country far more than any benefit fraud.
His “We don’t need experts” line during Brexit was a killer. I see RFK Jnr is using pretty much the same line in the ‘New World’.

It’s how the world works but you continue to live in your cosseted little world.
Oh dear. Yet another totally clueless one. 🙄
I really can’t be arsed to explain it any further to you. Your failure to understand is not my problem.
I don’t like it anymore than you do but that’s the world we live in. And don’t go thinking that a change of government will change anything.
What about it?
Your comments suggest otherwise.
Are you really that hard of thinking and so blinkered? Iran has and will carry out attacks on UK soil. ISRAEL PROVIDES THE UK WITH INVALUABLE INTELLIGENCE. Will you be ‘clutching your pearls’ if Iran carries out an atrocity on UK soil because Israel stopped providing UK with intel?
Oh look, everyone. Another clueless dimwit 🙄
Another fucking dimwit that’s lost touch with reality. 🙄
If you think that Iran wouldn’t commit an atrocity on UK then you’re deluding yourself. As abhorrent as the Israeli attack on Gaza are, Israel ‘still’ provides the UK with valuable intel on the Middle East

Tim Davie BBC Director General. It appears that he's skipped that.
I don’t know why but the thought, “That would picture make a great 1200 piece jigsaw puzzle.” just flew through my mind. 👀
This is absolutely priceless…
"Real empathy DOES NOT ERASE REALITY. It cares about ALL people impacted by a policy, or a tragedy. So when empathy becomes SELECTIVE, politicized, and manipulative… It’s no longer compassion. It is NO LONGER EMPATHY. It's control." posted by Mr Van Smol in a good thread.
Fits of nostalgia are what got this country in the state it’s in. 😂
It's depressing to see well respected historians defend Rylan. He repeated unsubstantiated and demonstrably untrue far-right talking points on national TV. Then tried to take the moral highground and point the finger at people correctly calling him out. This will just embolden them.
"I am fine, really, but everyone knows The Country is going to the dogs.“
I might paint a red cross on the cenotaph and watch people's heads explode? x
That’s a drum I’ve been banging for years. People conflate the BBC News and Current Affairs arm with the whole of the BBC and seem to struggle separating the two. Those that ‘do’ conflate the 2 are generally ’defund the BBC’ types. Be careful what you wish for. 👀
So you’re the one that watches daytime tv. 👀😎😂
Let's start the morning with a Tolkien collectable. This is a rather fabulous Middle Earth map based on JRRT's original but illustrated by Pauline Baynes, who worked on both Tolkien and C S Lewis books. This copy is a little faded but it's nearly as old as me and I am more faded!
