This week we’ve had a Reform MP (Nigel Farage) call a female interviewer “love”, and another Reform MP (Sarah Pochin) say it drives her mad when she sees “adverts full of black people, full of Asian people”. Welcome back to the 1970s.

Oh, I've given up on the paper Raddy-o-timmez now. It's stupidly expensive.

Except at Christmas. Everybody gets the Christmas one.

I had a number of the Not-Real-Artists Top of the Pops albums with a "bird" (it *was* the 70s) on the front, in a WHSmith "brown hexagons" bag somewhere. I wish I could remember where they are...

Dear Severn Trent, this kind of bollocks does not make a monthly increase from £29.40 a month to £45.58 a month any more welcome...

Water
This is the good stuff that comes from the tap.

Wastewater
If it's gone down a plug hole, or been flushed down the loo, it's wastewater.

I am a long-standing member of the @nationaltrust.org.uk, tirlelessly batting back the anti-woke dinosaurs and crushing the Daily Mail vegan scones clickbait, but "comprised of" in the AGM booklet is wearing me down...

Meanwhile in Ukraine @meanwhileua.bsky.social · Sep 12

They wore our flag in a distant war because allies asked, and because freedom’s defense doesn’t stop at borders.👇
