Old, knackered, wall basket. Poor soil. Saw a bunch of alpines, thought they'd fill it. Doing themselves proud.

Painted fern looking pretty, other fern unfurling like hairy spider's legs.

Lumpy as buggery, but back running. 2 and 4 not running. The points are for 1 and 4, and 2 and 3, so it's not that. Swapped plugs, then plug caps, not that. Carbs off again. Two of the pilot jets are blocked solid. Got them soaking in PineSol. Fingers crossed it's just that.

Followed an incorrect video on setting my CB550K points and ignition timing. The bike is running now but only on 2 and 4. Watched some more videos, half hour and I can set it properly, hopefully get it running right. If so, it's just carb adjustment after that. Woo-hoo!

Warnock: I hear people attack poor people and act like it’s a crime to be poor, rather than to recognize it’s criminal for so many people to be poor. They do all of this in the name of Jesus… Jesus is the biggest victim of identity theft in the United States

BTW, people who hold up "You're nearly there!" signs in the first mile of a marathon... #DeathsTooGoodForThem #ItsAStart

Marathon results are up. Considering the year of shite training, covid, injury, (and a .44 mile too long course) that's better than I deserve.

Oops, just come to write my blog on today's killer Blackpool marathon, went back to check my (age group winning) time first last year to contrast it with today's slow, painful time. I think I've been saying I got 3.06, it was actually 3.08: 11 last year. My bad. Terrible memory. Sorry.

Everyone’s gonna be wide awake at his funeral. If only because they’ll play Kool & The Gang’s “Celebration” at full volume.

MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN 😂😂😂😂

Kudos to the Glasgow runner in front of me at about mile 18, who stopped for an ice cream cone and was eating it, on the hoof, and still staying in front of me.

As a final note, I clicked my watch at 26.2, so I know the extra .44 mile they stuck on took me 3.55. Take that off, I did a 3.38.47. I think they re-routed around roadworks, but didn't re-measure the course. It wasn't just me, I asked two other runners and their watches agreed with mine.

Amazing that "Novice" (surely we can't call him that) Sabastian Sawe's pace between 30-35km was only 12 seconds off the Parkrun international world record. Take a bow, Sab - and congrats Tigst Assefa for winning the womens' race

So, away from the glitz and glamour of the big name Blackpool marathon, how did the rest of you do in London village? Fondle any nice ferrets?

Son of a bitch! Only ran it as a fun run. Wasn't going for a time, just trying to finish. About all I had in me. Then they stuck nearly ½ a mile on it! Bastards! Fucked.

Obligatory "Ah , Paris".

Have to feel for them. They could be running Blackpool marathon, but London village is better than nowt, I suppose.

This is how terrified they are of people in government telling the truth to the American people about what they are doing behind the scenes. Cockroaches hate sunlight.

Amen.

🚨NEW: Wisconsin judge threatens to go on strike in support of Judge Hannah Dugan, arrested by the FBI. Monica Isham: “I have no intention of allowing anyone to be taken out of my courtroom by ICE & sent to a concentration camp without the due process the constitutions we swore to support require.”👏

🟢 This is your chance to elect the first Green mayor! Let’s make this happen. Vote Mary Page on 1st May. Real hope. Real change. 🟢 @greenparty.org.uk

Wearing a bright blue suit, texting, and then sleeping at Pope Francis’s funeral. What an embarrassing mess.

The American tourism industry is sooooooo screwed.

What a wise King! 👑💕

A trans woman wrote to Wetherspoons to ask which toilets they're meant to use. Wetherspoons replied acknowledging the Supreme Court's verdict...and that trans customers can use whichever loos they want to but to please lock the cubicle door. Labour now being outflanked on the left by Wetherspoons.

Incredible we don't see more of this from the fourth estate.

Opportunity for ICE and the border control nazis to do something hilarious here.

I saw a Tik Tok where an American woman said she thinks Europe is great because they have so many continents and the people in Rome speak Romanian. Just sharing in case this helps anyone understand the average voter in this country.

Great news: All 6 piece of shit cosplay fake cops who forcibly removed Dr. Teresa Borrenphol from a Coeur d'Alene town hall have been arrested and charged. She also plans to sue the County Sheriff and the private security firm who employed the scum for $5M. Hell yes. 💙🍷

"teachers aren't working class" dude they literally work in class
