Wordle 1,461 4/6 ⬛🟨🟨⬛⬛ 🟨🟨⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Apart from the rapper on Gangster Paradise, I've nothing for this #Wordle... Being a word I've never used, or seen/heard others use either.

Wordle 1,460 6/6 ⬛🟩⬛⬛⬛ ⬛🟩⬛⬛⬛ ⬛🟩⬛⬛⬛ ⬛🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬛🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 This #Wordle gave me something tough to chew over... Which I only just managed to finish.

Along with this philosophical point, here's an equally deep one, which I believe... Everything we see today could, potentially, have been built at the same time Jesue walked the earth. Not true? Then tell me, which elements didn't exist then, that do today?

You can't destroy knowledge.... #WiseWords #bbcpm

#Wordle 1,459 2/6 ⬛🟨🟨⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 It's no joke, I did get it in two.... Pure luck, of course.

Wordle 1,458 5/6 ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛⬛🟨 ⬛⬛🟨⬛🟩 🟩🟩⬛⬛🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 This #Wordle is hardly worth bothering with.

This depends on the size of the path you're expected to share... I've cycled on shared paths that were great (nice and wide) and segregated cycle paths that were terrible (narrow and difficult to pass)... There's nothing wrong with taking the pragmatic approach, if it delivers improvements.

All drivers should have to undergo re-tests... And the penalties for driving without a licence need to be looked at too. Having said that, I'm not sure the risk from older drivers is as high as this chart suggest... Don't older drivers die from medical events, more than others? Revelant, or not?

Wordle 1,457 5/6 ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛🟨🟨⬛⬛ 🟨⬛⬛🟩⬛ ⬛🟩⬛🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 #Wordle, it's like chinese painted whispers in reverse.

Wordle 1,456 3/6 ⬛⬛⬛🟩🟨 ⬛⬛⬛🟩🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 What a recovery... Wrong once, it'll be wrong twice. There's no glitches, like that, in this #Wordle machine.

Wordle 1,455 4/6 ⬛⬛⬛⬛🟩 ⬛🟨⬛⬛🟩 🟨🟩⬛⬛🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Thinking about the utter nonsense I've heard today... #Wordle

Wordle 1,454 4/6 ⬛⬛⬛⬛🟨 ⬛⬛⬛🟩⬛ ⬛⬛⬛🟩⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 The number of time, not on word list popped up, almost had me screaming like a #Wordle wild animal.

Is this what you call confirmation bias, @mrjamesob.bsky.social ? You see a report, that aligns with your world view, so you take it on face value? What does newly-sold mean? Is it the same as new car sales? Without an answer, the rise could be down to the number of used cars sold. #LBC

Wordle 1,453 4/6 🟩🟨⬛⬛⬛ 🟩⬛🟩⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟩⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Another word that's at odds with the usual pattern for #Wordle...

Does this report define what newly-sold means, @transenv.bsky.social? Is it the same as new car sales? I'm curious, as I'm not sure if it's bonnets, across the board that have risen, or whether it's an increase in SUV sales (used & new) that affects the average.

Wordle 1,452 6/6 ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛🟨🟨 🟩⬛⬛🟨⬛ 🟩🟩⬛⬛🟩 🟩🟩⬛⬛🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Nah... That word would never make it through, *Mr Jones*... Let's try another one. Blimey, it did...

Wordle 1,451 4/6 ⬛🟨⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛🟨🟨 ⬛⬛🟩🟩⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 It's is one of those games... Getting it in four, again... #Wordle

No. This isn't bin strike related. It's just a sign of little, some people, think about the area. I suspect, nobody's gonna go through this to try and find an address label, instead it'll be collected, by the Parish Council, no questions asked... And people wonder why it keeps appearing...

I know what it says in the highway code, about flashing headlights, but how many use them in this way? I've never flashed my lights to let others know I'm there. It's always been to say, go ahead, or thanks. Is this how you use yours, or am I out of sync?

Given their unpredictability, why can't recycling bins, that are now being used a general waste bin, be emptied at the same time as the regular bin? Even with the pod removed and it only containg black bags, workers still don't touch mine. @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social

Iwonderifistartedwritingliketheacientgreekshowpeoplewouldgetonwithit I don't think people would have the patience for it myself.

Wordle 1,450 3/6 ⬛🟨⬛🟨🟩 🟩🟩🟩⬛🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Move on, or renew? #Wordle

Normally, where I live, being close to the Lickey Hills, we get more rain than is forecast (as the clouds pass over the hills). Today, even though heavy showers were forecast, all I've seen is a light drizzle. Paying attention to the forecast has meant, no bike ride for me today, just #DogWalking.

Wordle 1,449 4/6 ⬛🟨⬛⬛🟩 ⬛⬛🟩🟩🟩 ⬛⬛🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 That's not for *recycling*...

Wordle 1,448 4/6 ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛🟨🟨 ⬛🟨⬛🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 This is one, a member of the clergy might like to explain... #Wordle

How poor a presenter is Rachel Johnson?? #LBC

Listening to Heart 70s, which is full of music that's 50+ years old, I wonder if people in the 1970s had as fond memories, of the music from the 1920s, as I do of this...

People need to stop asking Wayne Rooney to tell us what he thinks... He doesn't do it that well... So just stop, please... #bbc5live

There's nothing wrong with this... There's loads similar in the kids section of a cemetery I visit. If you had a child, who died, that loved Shrek, you might even consider it yourself.

How sad is it that there's such things as #WellBaby supplements... #LBC

Wordle 1,447 5/6 ⬛⬛⬛⬛🟨 🟨⬛🟨⬛⬛ 🟨🟨⬛🟨⬛ 🟨🟨🟩⬛🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 With so many letters in the wrong place, a *single*, correct one, was all that was needed... #Wordle

Wordle 1,446 4/6 ⬛⬛🟩🟨🟩 🟨🟨🟩⬛🟩 🟩⬛🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Almost *ended* the day without giving #Wordle a go... Such as strong start, I thought I was on for a two...

What is wrong with questioning the number of Turkish barber shops around today? I've heard a few people take the pee out of Robert Jenrich (and others) for raising this, but don't you think he may have a point? Rubery, < 0.5 miles, has 7 barbers shops... And there's even more close by too.

Wordle 1,443 5/6 ⬛⬛⬛🟨⬛ ⬛🟨⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛🟩⬛⬛ ⬛🟨🟩⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 That was a *bad* one... I got carried away a bit today - using those infrequent letters. #Wordle

Wordle 1,442 3/6 ⬛🟨⬛⬛🟩 ⬛🟨⬛🟨🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 How can I keep this streak going, *day after day*? #Wordle

Wordle 1,441 4/6 ⬛⬛🟩⬛⬛ ⬛⬛🟩⬛⬛ ⬛⬛🟩⬛🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 To put it *another way*, I was in quite a bind with this one. That first green didn't help much. #Wordle

I'd like to know what's happened to people receiving feedback from WMP... From the last seven submissions I made, I've not heard a thing back from them...

Heaven & Hell. A History of The Afterlife. Listening to this, I wonder, how much do those who follow, any religion, know of its history? I think, people shy away from asking too many questions as they're ill-prepared for answers... It's all, equity driven.

Attempted murder and driving under the influence of drink and drugs, both dropped. That should tell people something, like this wasn't the drug crazed individual you may have thought it was... In stressful situations, people do lose their minds... www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cd...

What's the best thing to do with a rubbish bin that's too popular (ie it's well used)? I'd go for adding more bins, but that's not what happens here. Instead, we have them taken away... Which is pretty annoying when you plan your dog walking routes around them.

I'm certain, a lot of what people think about that driver in Liverpool (Inc myself) will be completely wrong... Given the videos, the police have to go for the toughest charges possible... Hence the delay. It's not plausible for the driver to have panicked, or be on prescription drugs...
