Can’t trust anyone anymore… was there even a bird of prey in H Is For Hawk?

Gonna be enough copies of that Salt Path book clogging up K6 phone boxes on leafy village greens up and down the land.

Reminiscing with a mate about this… Can’t really believe I was there. Absolutely stupid line up. 80 quid (Β£152 in today’s money). Completely nuts. All the bogs got set on fire. Woodstock for the β€˜90s.

New Half Man Half Biscuit record is a hoot if you want a surreal hyper- specific distraction from global affairs.

Rebecca Hendin on Labour’s reinstatement of winter fuel payments – cartoon Rachel Reeves’s U-turn means that the threshold over which pensioners are no longer eligible for payment will rise before winter

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... Love the boomers losing their shit below the line on the Grauniad’s cartoon.

One of the few good things this government seemed to attempting was to introduce a right to not rot away in abject misery, but we’re not even getting that, it seems.

Seriously, what is it with boomers and pressure washers? Any excuse.

Early β€˜90s, maybe actually 1990. Around the time that the new 5p came out, I think.

Such a fantastic championship! Obviously, I wanted someone who was playing when I was still at primary school to win it but what a player Zhao Xintong is!

Rap group Kneecap's Eden Project show cancelled, organisers say - BBC News The band had been due to perform at the Eden Project on 4 July.

www.bbc.com/news/article... What a joke. I don’t know any of their stuff - might check it out now - but guessing it must be pretty middle lane to be doing an @edenproject.bsky.social session. Remember some of the Manics stuff Nicky Wire and Richey Edwards used to come out with in the 1990s. πŸ˜‚

β€œI don’t want to see him anymore! Please put him away! I don’t care about boring sport and he looks like he works in the IT department.” - Some people don’t love the snooker.

So happy the BBC have brought back the original Doug Wood Band β€˜Drag Racer’ theme for the snooker!

A striking Oystercatcher strolls along wet, rocky mudflats, its vivid orange bill tipped with a tiny morsel of food. The bird’s black and white plumage glows in the low sunlight, and a small silver leg ring is visible, marking it as part of a long-term study.

Big news from the mudflats!

The UK’s oldest known Oystercatchers - aged 41 and 43 - have been discovered on The Wash.

That’s three times their species’ average lifespan!

Legends wade amongst us... 😎

Lib Dems back ban on playing music and videos on public transport in England Under the plan, those who flout the prohibition could face a maximum fine of Β£1,000

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... YES! Go further and send them to a prison island.

Honestly, I’m glad I always kinda hated Harry Potter anyway. Even if there is a veneer of β€˜common sense’ to the Supreme Court ruling it’s pretty obvious the case was brought simply to shit on a marginalised group of people. The idea that trans women are a threat to biological woman is laughable.

Definitely two camps on phone box Facebook - those who like the kiosks and don’t care if they’re full of shit books and those like me who feel like the entire essence is stripped once the phone is removed.

Took about an hour and twenty minutes, a few nice chats and a fair few straight to answerphone but that’s 52 calls made today from Zennor phone box and OFCOM can’t now let BT take the phone away. Thank you.

I’ve got such a good collection of mid-century wool and silk ties. Mostly they belonged to a dead architect who designed the (sadly demolished) brutalist police station in Truro.

Boarding passes and check-in could be scrapped in air travel shake-up Facial recognition and a β€˜journey pass’ stored on passengers’ phones are part of UN-backed plans to digitise air transport

www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a... Sounds great other than the new passport I got three years ago has never let me through the e-gates once. I don’t even bother trying anymore. Wonder what list I got put on?

Microsoft Word can’t stand passive tone, can it? It might let you have proper spellings but it basically hates real-world use of British English.
