The Male Hawfinch ~ It is the largest finch in the UK. It is larger than other finches and is distinguished by its powerful, thick bill and large head and neck ~ Picture taken at Fforestganol ~ South Wales 🦉🪶 #birdingWales #ukbirding #birds #finches #naturetherapy #wildlife #ukwildlife #bluesky

Maybe forget the green and go straight down the line with a Union-Jack painted Mini.

Perhaps some Woollarding with a classic sports car in British racing green.

How about: "Firm, fair and fairly fashy". Only "fairly", note.

Good grief.

Class in a glass. Can't see this missing my #5debutalbums1014.

Mike and Jaime are a killer combination.

I spy Ben Jonson House.

I thought it must be something like that. Thanks.

Good point. I'm interested in how he constructed the shots with people in them: how 'genuine' were they? E.g. the homeless girl sleeping on newspaper. Amazing set of images.

May he go the way of Elvis and Logan Roy.

Looks more like an accountant the morning after the work Christmas bash.

That looks like a decent brew.

I did the vacuuming earlier so yes I feel that I can reward myself by getting pissed. Cheers, Keith!

Corrupt little tw*t who told thick people he was clever.

There's one person with no need to invest in a Halloween mask. Miiiaow.

Stay inside 270. If necessary drive flat out to Kansas City (OK, stop in Columbia permitted). Go nowhere else under any circumstances.

It's interesting to think that some young person with writing skills and probably a degree from an R1 university or two has been tasked with imitating his capitalization and other such stylistic quirks while also coming across as slightly more factful and less deramged.

Jason Finch @jasonpfinch.bsky.social · 6d

Same here.

An incredibly ambitious debut and, incredibly, she pulls it off. Shades of the White Album and the Boos' Giant Steps alongside Prince and (here) Eddie Hazel/-era Funkadelic.
