Had a lovely day in York.
The river Ouse in York; it's flanked by bare trees and the sun is setting behind the trees to the left.

This is utter bollocks. Special offers have been around for years, but are now more visible thanks to the "Clubcard/Nectar/MoreCard prices" branding. Shop at any place long enough and you learn what is on offer and when as it's cyclical, always has been. Most of the year it is the original price.
"Tesco are the worst. Clubcard prices are standard and they add a premium for non-Clubcard holders."

🎶Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah🎶

Time to bring this out again.
A picture with two images; one is an empty space with the words (note the plural) 'No one'. The second image is a picture of Peter Noone of Herman's Hermits that has the word 'Noone' on it. This is to teach fucking idiots that 'no one' is two separate words. If you can't be arsed typing two separate words, try 'nobody' instead.

At least they won't have to clean their clothes.
A paragraph about public nudity, and European attitudes towards it. The last sentence talks about following through.

Surprise, surprise, Bill blocked me. Cunt.
A post about someone being sacked after being given fair warning for being drunk at work. A reply states that there's not much that could be done. A further reply from angry man Bill this time (who appears to be a massive cunt) sarcastically implies that more could have been done. A reply to the sarcastic post stating that in fact much was done before the sacking. The angry man Bill replies "HR cunt in HR cunt shocker." The post replying states "Not HR, not a cunt. You on the other hand are the biggest cunt I've seen today. Cunt."

Canal.
The Leeds to Liverpool canal and the path alongside it stretch into the distance. The autumnal trees and the blue sky are reflected in the surface of the still water. Fluffy white clouds drift in the bright blue autumn sky.

Autumn in Mesnes Park.
A park with trees in autumn colours of red, yellow and gold. There is a duck pond in the foreground and a Victorian pavilion in the background. The sky is filled with rain clouds though it isn't raining. A pathway leads to a Victorian pavilion in a park. There are autumnal trees, and the flower beds either side of the path have been filled with bright autumn flowers. The sky is moody and grey, filled with rain waiting to fall.

A post by Harry Wallop reporting on the cost of a meal for four at Wagamama. The reporting starts: Earlier this month my wife and I took or two younger children to Wagamama. A reply from a reply guy that says: Economics aside, the "my wife and I" statement is revealing. What actually happened is she didn't want to cook, and he can't. If he learnt how to make pizza after an initial investment on a stone and a peel the whole family could gather, interact and eat for less than twenty pounds.

She's a what?
A quote from the article that starts 'Dani is a working girl'. Which indicates that the mother saying it doesn't know it's a euphemism for prostitution. Or she does and doesn't care, in which case fair play to her for being so understanding.

Me on the way to the Rapture.
A still from the Spanish film La Cabina in which two men trapped in telephone booths are being transported to their final destination. Still traumatised all these years after watching it.

If you see this, quote post with a time travel movie that is not Back to the Future.
The video cover of the Spanish film Timecrimes, a twisting, mind-bending thriller well worth watching.

It may be a nondescript block of flats built in the sixties, but when the setting sun hits it right, it glows.
A red brick block of flats glowing orange in the setting sun. The grey/blue clouds behind provide a striking contrast.

There's a pub in Chorley called The Sea View. Probably a common name, except...
A screenshot of the home page of The Sea View pub in Chorley. It says, "You can't see the sea, but you can feel the love."
