Right. Got my feet under the fleece, I'm off to dreamland.
I don't bother now. The slightest whiff of troll or bot activity, it's a block.
Someone's angry at the world. 😂
Nigel the shitstirrer. Off in his jollies when he should be working.
Nia Acorum in the place of Mists.
Farage has gone to the US to tell them Britain is ”awful” - If you don’t like it over here Nigel maybe don’t catch a return flight?
That's what I say, too! 😉
Yes, I'm a journalist who's critical of Farage and Reform UK. But I'm an accredited journalist with a press card, I'm the political editor of a weekly magazine, and when I registered back in May I got confirmation it was "successful". Until today, when it's now "declined". Here's the pics:
In a very large glass!
Yes, that's the worry.
You'd think the more cultures mix and get to know each other the less relevant concept of difference becomes, and with it the idea of race supremacy. It's important to remember that racist people have very narrow world views, and are always in the minority.
We do. Britain's population is ageing and shrinking. The way I see it, the more immigrants the more interesting the place becomes.
That's lovely.
This afternoon I have been painting water.
Anyway, after listening to us banging on about Farage for years, it’s good that Americans are finally getting a chance to see him in the flesh. If indeed that _is_ flesh.
Always a good idea.
It's 16 seconds of pure joy.
A bad day to buy copper piping from Wickes.
Steve is back from the pub. I can tell something has happened. He has shenanigans written all over his face.
And not before time either.
Holly has fallen a way since her Red Dwarf days.
Never does.
Anti immigration feeling is based on misinformation and downright lies. And people fall for it, because they don't want to take responsibility for their own failings.
I got a pay rise a couple of months back. Admittedly, it wasn't a lot, but it's already been eaten up by price increases. It's like running to stand still.
Well, when people get Right to Remain, or whatever it's called this week, they get a job and pay tax and NI.
I now use this, one of the last pieces of wisdom ever to come out of Twitter. Fish in the car. Never fails.
November is a nice time of year to visit #Iceland - decent time sunrise and lovely colours too :) This one is from Hvalnes in the south-east in Nov 2020.
The air's incredibly clear!
This is Gouda, Ru, and Rigby. They are three pretty best friends. Despite what you may have heard, this is possible. 12/10 for all (IG: andreaardendogtraining)
Your barn owl's pretty cool too.
Agree entirely. It's like politicians can't really be arsed and the electorate will swallow any old shit. Feeling like I won't bother voting again, because it makes no difference.
And now I'm wondering how Millhouse fits into World Book Day.
Not sure what you mean.
I'm keeping this for when I'm feeling a bit down.
Repost if you couldn't give a toss about immigration.
Fuck me that’s quick.
Slightly manic edge to that laugh.
Who says I haven’t achieved anything positive during my first year in office?
It's what the world needs now!
You're a boarding terrier! #BoomBoom
Not really, just the usual. At least I won't have to go back for a while.
As a navigation officer with a specialisaton in safety of navigation, this cartoon has always appealed deeply. Sadly, I do not know who to credit with it.
Even at 375 it's a good buy. It's outwith our budget by a margin and knowing the area, I don't think there's much work around. If I was nearer retirement, perhaps.
I'm so pleased that it's gone well. Having her flightless was a bit of a worry.
roses are red gold is the key
Sometimes it's helpful to READ THE BOOK FIRST.
We shared Bear with you on Friday. He was found on the streets with painful, inflamed skin. Also, his bladder had herniated, requiring emergency surgery. Thanks to your support, he is no longer in pain, his crying has subsided, and he is on his way to much comfier life ❤️🩹
I'm sure we could arrange something. The only downside with that area is there's not much work about.
Our garden is full of wood pigeon fledglings There are flying lessons going on everywhere, with varying levels of proficiency One fledgling, copying his dad as he glided down, tried gliding UP to get over the garden wall, until his understanding of gravity increased 1/2
Aye, nothing world beating but some nice stuff. It's a particularly miserable experience when it's always more expensive than last time. Hey ho.

ASDA. The mouth of the abyss.
Cherry the wood pigeon has left. Saw her trying her wings out this morning, and this evening there was no sign. This makes me happy.
I know. Thought and prayers. Mrs Hat reckons we won't need to go again for a month, but that's unlikely.
I always enjoy a Nationalist statement on a foreign built car. These people aren't exactly the brains trust.
I didn't want to crawl out of bed today.
I went food shopping. So that was an experience.
We don't seem to have many cats around here now. Used to be loads, birds didn't have a chance. Which is why I bought the air pistol.
Bollocks to this. Might go back to bed.
Happy birthday, and make sure you winkle as many treats as you can Jake.
It's this guy's 11th birthday. Everyone wish Jake a happy birthday please.
'It'll be my boot up your arse, sunshine'.
Looks more like a plague warning.
I like a Victoria plum. *quietly pinches one*
This is the funniest so far
Foster an owl while writing a book and caring for a child, they said. It’ll be fine, they said. Feeling a little like poor Cowlyd having just submitted the manuscript for my newest book this evening. Looking forward to seeing both in the wild over the coming months 🦉
...And Cherry the wood pigeon is still hanging around the garden. Her wing looks better and I'm wondering if she's scared to use it because of past pain. She looks very comfy sitting on top of the wood pile.
Walked the dogs earlier, watched magpies mobbing a jackdaw that was single handedly mobbing two kestrels. Can you mob on your own? The jackdaw seemed to think so.

I needed fibreglass, so I got fibreglass, and then jousted my way home

B is for Battersea Power Station ------ 'Battersea Train' by Juan del Pozo juandelpozo.net
Certainly looks that way.
Are you sure we've got a Labour government?
I nearly had a Triumph Dolomite once. £600.
Back with the pigeons on #Richmond riverside today. @a_londonpigeon @hceedee.bsky.social #pigeons #Birds # Nikonphotography
Misread that to some extent.

I have a Union (Jack) flag, it hangs in the garage. My dad bought it for a street party held for the Queen's Coronation. What's that? 70-odd years? I last used it on the Landy for a organised run. He'd have liked that. Sticking it on a lamppost for Nationalistic reasons, less so.
Like I say. Nigel's a shit stirrer. #AStirrerOfShite
Not getting food wrapped in paper is posh in Blackpool.
*in*
I've muted Trump News so I don't know what's going on, but I live I hope. 😂
No change there then.
I like to think when R2 does his beeps and whistles, he's being really foul-mouthed in machine code. 'Come on Artoo' 'Fuck off you pathetic carbon shit-gibbon'
If there were any flags up round here it would be Zippo Lighter + Long Stick + Cable Tie night strikes.
We'd like to wish all our animals a happy Labor Day, except Gerald, our Giant Panda. He hasn't done a damn thing since he got here.
Late night anxiety: get yours here!
Watched the Disney Star Wars. It's just the same story with different people. Nine films: one story.
Moonlight on The Road at Night (1885)- Otto Stark.
Three sentences later…
It's a very weird place.
I was thinking of a couple of days in Walney Island. 😂
Went to the Kite Festival. So did everyone else, ended up at Lytham Hall. Had cake. Went back to the arse end of the Kite Festival, had a Mr Whippy. Saw a Sea King SAR helicopter in yellow like a ghost from my childhood.
That's a steely-eyed look of determination all right.
Oh, yes!
I don't think that's something you need to worry about for a while. AI was supposed to take the admin jobs, but I'm still there.
Why wait regretting your behavior until tomorrow when you can regret it right now
