Magnificent album! Brings back memories of my son who, aged seven back then, would stomp about in his mum’s high-heeled boots singing ‘Hello space boy’ just cos David did. God I miss him (David, not the son, as I see him all the time!)

…and when he came out again, he was a changed man…

I find that astonishing. Not only is it terribly inaccurate, it is awful for workload. To like it is bonkers

… and you should never buy grebenes from a mohel

"I mean,what are they eating to make them that dirty!?"

'Mum' on BBC iPlayer is absolutely tremendous telly. Funny, sad and tender, it's an hilariously brilliant observation of the frailties and emotional fragility of families. How had it passed me by, and why don't more people know about it!? Grateful thanks to @michaelt1979.bsky.social for recommending

Picked up on a recommendation of yours recently, Mum. Incredible telly. Not finished it yet so no spoilers

Welcome back Milky Way, I’ve missed you xx #highlandskies

This is straight up the best fess I’ve read in ages!!

Sorry Jamie, upon rereading, I can hear the facetiousness and nobbish sense of superiority in my comment, but it made me laugh to think it still worked as a statement 🤷

Well, I guess they are, as you’d need to buy one in order to attend!

Guided by ecologists Tony Whitbread & Matt Phelps, you'll explore how Knepp’s rewilding principles can be adapted to smaller landscapes.

Government confirms welfare climbdown in deal with rebels - live updates People who currently receive Personal Independence Payments (Pip), or the health element of Universal Credit, will continue to do so.

Lab 25: neg'd changes to policy = 'climbdown' vs Tory 19: MPs sacked by 'Boris' for 'defiance'. As a voter, I much prefer this messy discursive type of politics over the macho bullshit of the last 10 years! www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cj...

When I was younger, on the long walk home from the train station after work each night, I'd pretend that I was in a race with other walkers from the same train. They were usually the same people, so I'd imagine full-on repeat grudge races, complete with David Coleman commentary

16 Ronnies, and a couple of Erics

You could maybify a suggestication to this particole tesco employee that he/she/they could improvify their spelling before pretendicating to be someone

... or were most of the Liverpool team still a bit pissed from their party...?

Right! I'm all in on here from now on. After reading the last articles and watching the recent Ted talk of @carolecadwalla.bsky.social I can't start on the other places any longer. So, I'm into education, live in Scotland and love nature and Man Utd. Who should I follow? Hit me up!

Hi Gráinne. It's very kind of you to keep me in the loop! It seems to have made some difference to the outcome, though the figures remain a concern I think

I think the word 'calm' allows for ambiguity; lunchtimes are rarely calm but the majority of the time the chn are very well regulated, behaving in ways appropriate to the activities they are undertaking. So I'd struggle to answer this question
