It's hard to articulate why, but Blue Origin is 2025's equivalent of Gal Gadot singing "Imagine"

Well, this sucks. Feels like the pound hitting 50lira is A Moment. But that's just Anglocentric of me.

Packing triumph: managed to bring a Standard Lamp in my cabin bag. The one thing I didn't think about: Stansted security going "so, you have a lot of metal pipes in the bottom of your bag"

Neighbour texts. Squeaks The Street Cat is around but the grey cat who belongs to The Hotel Of My Enemy is missing. Last time it was found in my Airbnb, and the place required a deep clean. But still, I hope he's there....

Turkish airport food that tastes waaaay better than it looks - Potato Pide. İmagine spicy mashed potato on a pizza.

This is not the only 1975 cartoon by Giles about the Loch Ness Monster. Did Terror of the Zygons cause an outbreak of Nessie Fever?

In this 1975 cartoon, Giles hypothesises about a baby growing up to celebrate Britain's membership of the EU

Sad heading to Turkey as it's just going to be Expensive Eurgh solving problems that aren't my fault. Cheering myself watching videos from a local restaurant who film their day's menu: www.instagram.com/reel/DIayF_M...

Avengers update: houseguest decided to watch the Cybernauts trilogy and correctly deduced that The New Avengers is broken. He then watched Epic ("weird") and The Girl From Auntie ("loved that").

I just don’t think “this deodorant will last you 72 hours” is a message we should be sending to men.

Can't solve much in life but have managed to top up my Turkish phone while in the UK. (The Turkcell app won't let a UK card work, and a Turkish card SMSes a number that only works in Turkey.... However... If I type my phone number into my Turkish banking app and send it some money... Result!)

The Gaza hospital hit in an airstrike was the same one that was hit in an airstrike in 2023. At the time, the IDF said they did not carry out airstrikes on hospitals. www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ent...

Message my builder to say I'll see him Tuesday. He replies. This isn't good. Sure enough... The Hotel Of My Enemy's plumbing has burst and flooded my cave. As if I thought the worst I'd have to clean out of it would be cat shit.

Louisiana'daki gibi değil tabi... İstanbul Havalimanı'nda sipariş ettiği yemeğin fotoğraftaki gibi olmadığını söyleyen turist isyan etti: "Popeyes bir yalancı, buraya sakın gelmeyin."

İ love this Tariff Policy. İt's so simple and clearly executed and not at all like a twink loading a dishwasher. www.bbc.com/news/article...

If someone ever wanted Doctor Who summing up briefly, you could do far worse than showing them this image and explaining that the next line was, "Alan? I thought you went to Margate?"

Been showing houseguest The Avengers ("I don't do superheroes"). So far lucked out with The Cybernauts, The Gravediggers and A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Station. What should I risk next? My brain is screaming Girl From Auntie, Epic or The Joker....

Opened ajar of pickled chillies I've been saving for a special occasion. They tasted ... soapy. Turns out the special occasion was best before the end of 2017.

While the world burns and democracy is in the toaster, my Turkish savings account that I opened in January is doing crazy stuff.
