Churchill liked Gruyere, Thatcher Lymeswold & Boris Johnson whatever was in the fridge but is cheese on the left or the right? wp.me/p15p2Q-ert

As Iran shuts the Straits of Hormuz just waiting to see who posts the first 'queues form at petrol stations' headline. Stiff competition between GB News, the Telegraph, the Express & possibly others... However none of them will point to the culprit, one Netanyahu

Saturday.

Another good analysis from @gideonrachman.bsky.social

Farage's latest grift, the Britannia Card, that he will 'unveil' in a speech on Monday. Expect wall to wall media coverage. In political parties policies come before conferences of members are debated & are agreed or not. But Reform is Farage's business so no need www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

#onthisday, 22 June 1861, John Hurman, Pharmaceutical Chemist, opened his Oriental, or #TurkishBaths in York Buildings, The Cornhill, #Bridgwater, Somerset. They closed early 1865; too small a population perhaps when nearby Weston-super-Mare already had one. @victorianmasc.bsky.social +ALT πŸ—ƒοΈ #C19th

btw if you are fed up with UK media relaying the 'thoughts' of the orange felon on bombing Iran don't worry. Farage is making another of his 'speeches' on Monday & this will require wall to wall 24hr media coverage..

@edwardluce.bsky.social very much to the point:

watching the post lunch cricket. England have gone full Bazball. Its unlikely to end well. Its become a dogma rather than a strategy

Note the US 'Defence Secretary' Hegseth says US bombing Iran was an 'overwhelming success'. How much had he had to drink before he said that?

Lunch at the cricket so time for brunch. Organic egg on toast, sliced mushrooms, fried Jersey Royals(left over from yesterday's salad)

Spotted this earlier - Jadeja appearing to use his short stubbly beard to cause abrasions to the ball. Surely this demands an urgent statement from the Beard Liberation Front @keithbeard.bsky.social

We're all going on a summer holiday, we're going where the sun shines brightly.. but where? Top English seaside locations mid-June 2025. South-North divide...πŸ‘‡ wp.me/p15p2Q-eqZ

Not sure I'm a Muswell Hillbilly but I was brought up there & went to the same school as Ray Davies albeit a few years later! wp.me/p15p2Q-b9y

Starmer once again demonstrating he is an inept (at best) politician. The answer to the question about Kneecap is: 'in a democracy the Prime Minister is not responsible for booking the acts at Glastonbury. Next question' www.theguardian.com/music/2025/j...

I liked early Oasis but catching the BBC2 coverage tonight reminded me of Britpop & days long documentaries John Harris did about it. Decided watching golf on Sky is more interesting...

In a craft beer bar in North London. I was the only person with a beard & I came across a group of even more senior citizens than myself who were on a craft bar crawl (the chips were good too) wp.me/p15p2Q-eqK
