Trump & Putin seem to be allies, not even attempting to hide their megalomaniac tendencies, both as rabidly batshit as each other. #Trumputin

After 4 months in hospital with MRSA,sepsis, & some rather nasty surgery I am grateful to my oldest friends for looking after me while I recover. I'm extremely grateful that this is the view from my bed for last 2 days. Pretty good medicine in my opinion.

www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... Been listening to "Chain Reaction" on BBC4extra. I found the 1st episode painful, Jenny Éclair audibly annoying Jimmy Carr. This episode with @mrchrisaddison.bsky.social and Rebecca Front is listening to a chat between very good friends. Great radio.

I've been in hospital since September 26th. Today, I finally got discharged. I'm back in 5 weeks to finish the reconstruction of my left knee. At the moment I have a temporary joint in my leg. I want to be out if hospital for the National Day of Reflection at @covidmemorialwall.bsky.social but am

@lionsledbydonkeys.bsky.social doing good things at the Tesla factory in Berlin.

I've been in hospital for 17 weeks this Thursday. Last week, my new @vizcomic.bsky.social edition of the Profanisaurus arrived. Literally the best thing to happen to me since September 26th last year

01865 279700 That's the number for the Porters Lodge at Jesus College, Oxford Phone them on Christmas morning. Ask "is that Jesus?" When they answer "yes", sing Happy Birthday to them. Trust me, they find it funny every time... * They are very well spoken when they tell you to fuck off)

I've spent the last 2 days delirious with MRSA. Incredibly tired, low mood. Christmas in hospital isn't going to be a bundle of fun

Speaks volumes that Farage wants the woman who threw a milkshake over him to go to prison, but he wants those convicted of crimes during the #FarageRiots to walk free. Horrendous man.

Twitter highlight of the Year

I thought Bluesky would be better when it comes to connecting, albeit digitally. It's not. It's great if you had/have a following on X, but here? Just another bit of bandwidth. If anything, I feel more isolated.

My engagement has definitely dropped on the Other Place, and I've got less than 10% followers here compared to Twatter, but it does just seem more pleasant here. The bots are on the increase though

After 71 days, several surgeries, 3 heart attacks, MRSA, sepsis, and a chest infection, I'M GETTING DISCHARGED FROM HOSPITAL TOMORROW! Thank you #NHS. I won't walk without assistance again, but I am alive. For that I am grateful

BLUESKY!!! LTTF.

Annie, are you ok, are you....

Men - think how you'd feel if someone behaved inappropriately towards your mum, your sister, your daughter. Treat all women how you'd like the women in your life to be treated. If you must behave like an arsehole towards women, don't then blame those women. #ofacertainage

December 1st, if you're over 50 in Britain Until this bloke does this, it isn't Christmas.

There's a poster on the notice board on the ward I'm on. "Over 65, pregnant, diabetic? Get your flu jab now" If you are over 65, pregnant and diabetic, I think you need more than a flu jab.

I got a visit in hospital yesterday from my 9 year old "Portsmouth Terrier" (a made up breed of dog that has unknown parentage). My dog Peggy is the best psychological medicine available

Christmas is the Daily Mail readers wet dream. Teenage mum, absentee dad, migrants taking up hotel rooms. It'd be 10 times worse under Labour.....
