Reform party on #bbclaurak again? Well blow me down. Those 5 MPs are worth a lot. Wonder how many MPs other parties have?

I'll just hang on to this answer for a while. Wordle 1,450 6/6* ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ 🟨⬛🟨🟨⬛ ⬛🟨⬛🟨🟨 ⬛⬛🟩🟩🟩 ⬛🟨🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

#UntilDawn - ridiculous rubbish. Mildly entertaining. About as good as you'd expect from a movie based on a video game.

Palmer, in the free role has been largely ineffective. I'd move Rogers there, and put Palmer right, or bring on Gordon, swapping Madueke over. It won't happen though - England too timid on the ball. Again. #ANDENG #WCQ

Listening to a bit of Rumours. 1977 album releases: Fleetwood Mac - Rumours Meat Loaf - Bat out of Hell Kraftwerk - Trans-Europe Express Elvis Costello - My Aim is True ELO - Out of the Blue The Jam - In the City & This is the Modern World plus debuts from Boomtown Rats and Ultravox Not bad. #70s

I love Pedro. He's a real life Dani Rojas.

Good captaincy to start with Dawson. Threw the openers a little, and gets rid of one of your 'filler' overs without being noticed. #ODI #ENGvWI

They needed to be *told*?!?!!!

That'll teach him. *sighs*

It's weird that this sort of thing, on a commuter route of all things, aimed directly into the faces of the people it is designed to erase from the working population, isn't catergorised as hate speech.

Made for £50k though, so more money to this sort of thing, than the rubbish often created for millions by the timid industrial giants.

"Anti Matter" - a nice idea, but let down by incoherent scientific gobbledeegook. I've seen far worse though.

What listening to Trump and Musk will never do. Wordle 1,448 4/6* ⬛🟨⬛🟨⬛ ⬛⬛🟩⬛🟨 ⬛⬛🟩🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Spotted on Discord. Most amusing. 😆

Have we reached the "my hair's better than your hair" stage yet?

That escalated .... about as fast as we all expected.

Liz Truss is heading to the White House with a chicken, lager and a fishing rod.

Someone pass the popcorn.

Musk/Trump and Reform/Yusuf/Lowe ... rats turning on each other. As expected.

Someone on here, I'm sure, recommended 'Wolf Like Me' which I've just finished. Enjoyed the 1st season more than the 2nd, but overall a good and enjoyable drama, with bits of comedy and pathos thrown in. On #Prime

This. Oh yeah this. 👇

ODN is 104 years old now. For those OS map lovers. Wordle 1,447 3/6* ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛🟨⬛🟨🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

If you don't know, most all "Chrome-like" browsers*, you can add extra options to the search engine - so adding "&udm=14" to e.g. Google search, gives you the 'old' search results (minus AI). Of course, many other search engines exist** *Brave, Vivaldi, Opera,... **DuckDuckGo, StartPage, Yahoo,...

The Labour govt is expanding access to free school meals. From the start of the 2026 school year any children, whose parents are on Universal Credit, will be entitled to free school meals. That's 500,000 more kids going to be guaranteed at least one proper meal a day. Nice one Labour 😀

Chelsea off to ruin another striker... Havertz, Werner, Torres, Lukaku, ...

33% increase in water bill from United Utilities. I'll be fully expecting no dividends to share holders, no bonus to the boss, and no shit in the rivers and lakes. I expect to be disappointed.

Yes. Yes, I am.

Gillian Anderson and James McAvoy are both in 'The Last King of Scotland'?! I never knew.

We now follow the GPS so blindly, that governments will soon be programming them to send us off Beachy Head once they determine we're too expensive to maintain.

Watching #DepartmentQ in #Netflix and it keeps feeling very familiar ... then I realise it's "The Keeper of Lost Causes" which I watched the Danish version of back in 2015(?)

Apocalyptic event had messed with gravity, forced to live in containers on a sea shore, with a concrete semi-underground mall nearby. Pterodactyl attacks, and word that India had started using lions in place of horses. Lots of sand. #OnlyADream
