Beer, wrestling, socialism, trying to avoid doing too much harrumphing about the world in general. ANY joke/punne that makes me actually groan out loud will be reposted. He/him.

John had a spate of pointing out particular hairstyles, blond ones especially...

Seconded on John and Pat, particularly if John says "and welcome to those of you listening on the BBC World Service"

Trump: "I had a very wealthy person who called -- a donor, a great gentleman -- and he said, 'if there's any money necessary, shortfall, for the paying of the troops, then I will pay it.' Meaning he will pay it. How about that?"

Has to come a point relatively soon where this is cheaper than having a couple of helicopters up all day? Love a bit of chateaux footage but then start thinking about the impact...

(Also the Mountain Bike drone footage is super sick)

Here they are, the lads...

The rikishi are taking-in the town and doing what we all do when in London.
Seeing the sights, admiring the parks, shopping on High Street, taking tea at Fortnum's, using the olde phonebox, eating Chinese, and having a terrific time.

And the leading beer ticking app, untappd, kind of does it as well. It has a "recommended" tab on it, although I don't personally use it...

CarsmileSteve @carsmilesteve.bsky.social · 1d

This is also true although I stick with the classic tripod style.

Dad stool mate. Have a little sit off every couple of hours, no need to be rushing about.

Oh, you'd be surprised, not least because tent and sleeping bag/ roll technology have advanced considerably.

🙋‍♀️ excuse me, I have a question! Are eggy crumpets "just" crumpets with fried/soft boiled (poached?) eggs on top or are they like eggy bread (ie French toast)?

Oh, lovely. Saw the trailer and Meg was keen (for obvious reasons!).

CarsmileSteve @carsmilesteve.bsky.social · 2d

Yeah, I know what you mean! May I suggest Cammell Laird Social Club or Achtung Bono as starting points? Not as scratchy as the earlier offerings (and with fewer refs to 70s TV stars) and not as dense as some of the more recent ones...
