This is currently for sale in a local bazaar (pic not by me). A warning that if you overdo the onanism, bits start falling off. His face is a haunted rictus of regret. Description in alt.

Hello folkies, friends, musical adventurers, and people that want to give me a gig! Right. I’m here. What’s going on? Is it nice? Can I eat it, snog it, or dance on or about its grave?

Lanzagrotty dawn

I must admit when I set myself the challenge tonight of drawing all the British prime ministers since 1995 I’d forgotten quite how many of them there’d been and therefore wildly underestimated how long it was going to take me…

Johnson told a dozen lies a day while in office, many of them absolute whoppers, and got a free pass from the media. Zero interest or scrutiny. Rachel Reeves makes an error on her linked in page and it's a BBC headline.

If you've ever wondered why you feel as if you've been stalked by the same supermarket building all your life (akin to that "Black Tower" short film which was always on Channel 4) this provides you with the answers. There's a little bit of South Woodham Ferrers everywhere. youtu.be/0NHv6owsCvw?...

I flippin' hate BBC Sounds sometimes. I click on 'Show more episodes' hoping to find ep 1 and it shows me thousands of Dramas on 4 dating back to 1922. Can I find this one? I can not. List them under their effing titles why can't you?

An empty shop unit at Gloucester Green could become a Chinese restaurant. The applicant, Mr Wang Casserole, has submitted a planning application to Oxford City Council for change of use. public.oxford.gov.uk/online-appli...
