Ex-flight attendant. He/Him #gay #LGBwiththeT #startrek #doctorwho #familyguy. I'm woke, if you've got a problem with that, then simply don't follow - you won't be able to change my opinion! Most likely to be found on Bluesky saying "fuck" a lot.

Bluesky is a happy place. I come here to relax. With that in mind ANY new follower that:

◽Supports Tr*mp or M*ga
◽is right wing
◽is a TERF
◽Believes it's "LGB without the T"
◽is clearly a BOT or generally comes across as "a bit of a cunt"

Will be blocked. I'm not letting here become like Twitter!

Is that Patrick Stewart’s signature?

Yes! I love those blueprints, and then seeing the modifications for TNG S1&S2, followed by the big extension from S3 onwards, then finally the conversion once again to VOY sets.

I keep forgetting that the bridge was originally directly adjacent to engineering. It looks strange seeing the bridge under construction while “standing” in engineering.

I bet that there isn't a single child of the 70's or 80's that even if they didn't ever watch the show, doesn't know at least half of the theme song.

And it’s interesting how no world leader or journalist has asked why when Israel hold people for years without any charges being brought, how that is considered to be legal, but if Hamas detain people, then it’s wrong and it’s illegal and the whole world goes nuts.

Double standards piss me off.

Although I’m sure that IMF should be out catching the worlds worst criminals and not making financial forecasts!

Rather interesting take by Sky and BBC News for the same story.

One “the glass is half full” and the other “the glass is half empty… just like your bank accounts!”

I am not autistic, but I’d be saying fuck or c*nt all the time, and I don’t think the diplomatic service would appreciate that somehow 🙊.

I can imagine being a magistrate in Rhodesia, or modern day Zimbabwe would be a very… interesting thing to experience, and not exactly in a good way! 😟

Andrew Roberts 💬🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ @andymroberts.bsky.social · 1d

Just as well I am not PM, because I’d be saying lots of rude things then! 😆

I hope you are right, because Trump would be the least deserving winner ever, and he literally murdered Venezuelan fishermen in their boats by ordering bombs be dropped on them.

Perhaps by next year Starmer won’t be PM, Labour may have replaced him to try and save their chances of winning in 2029.

I don’t like the way the UK media is blowing smoke up his chuff by saying “Rightly praised for”, he didn’t do anything, he just gave an order and the people beneath him did the work.

And genocidal killer will restart the war at any given opportunity, because it serves him to and keeps him in power.

Andrew Roberts 💬🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ @andymroberts.bsky.social · 1d

For this year, but I have a horrible feeling he will win it next year (Even though he is an insurrectionist, starting wars between states in the US and a global trade war with tariffs) because people like Starmer will likely nominate him.

And the world better not forget that the genocidal killer is still a genocidal killer. He doesn’t get to move on and get away with it. He still needs to end up in The Hague on war crimes charges.

And I definitely don’t want to see Starmer blowing smoke up orange twats arse, which he will for days!

Andrew Roberts 💬🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ @andymroberts.bsky.social · 1d

I’m refusing to watch any news today. I do not want to see the orange twat and the genocidal killer looking smug on my tv.

Orange twat will be even more unbearable now, bragging about stopping another war - when in reality he did nothing, it’s the people behind the scenes that did the work.

Lol, their staff do tend to struggle with maths. Many a time I've had to explain how an advertised offer hasn't been applied on the till (multibuy, buy x for £x.xx etc) and they struggle trying to work it out.

I bet when the Christmas sales period figures are announced early in 2026, Asda will report shocking figures that will be the worst out of the big 4 supermarkets - and they will have brought it all on themselves due to ridiculous pricing that makes no sense and showing no loyalty to customers.

Andrew Roberts 💬🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ @andymroberts.bsky.social · 1d

And don't even get me started on the Asda Rewards app that has had no rewards for the majority of this month. Customers should be building up their rewards now to spend in Asda on the Christmas shop - but now they won't be tied to Asda as they won't have any rewards to spend.

I was in Asda this morning and I saw this in the bakery:

4 x 🍩 for £1.00 in a box
OR
12 x 🍩 in a tray for £3.66

Why would anyone buy the tray when you could buy 3 boxes and get the same amount of 🍩 for £0.66p less?

The 🍩 were the same type in the box and the tray. No wonder Asda is struggling!

Unfortunately my town is very Brexity and racist. They can’t see that the likes of Farage are con men only out to line their pockets. The plus side is the majority here are old, so they will soon be dead. Hopefully the younger generation will be less racist.

It wasn’t the most pleasant way to spend a morning. I think next year I’ll pay for my flu jab and get it done in a pharmacy instead.

Andrew Roberts 💬🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ @andymroberts.bsky.social · 3d

When that came up, patients waiting were saying “Weird, the doctor is called Doctor Flu Flu!” To which someone replied “I bet she’s Chinese!” Followed by raucous laughter.

I hope they all catch Covid!

They were rightly told they would have to wait.

They use a tv screen in the surgery that shows when you have been called

NEXT PATIENT
Patients name
WITH
Doctors name
IN ROOM *number*,

Because it was a flu clinic, someone had put the doctors name on the system as “Dr Flu Flu”,
