On the anniversary of the day Margaret Thatcher resigned, let us take a moment to remember what a cruel, heartless piece of shit she was.

For those of you who were there #totp is currently playing the Mendi’s disco.

Just went down on the ice in a manner not dissimilar to this. My body now reminding me I’m not 20 any more. Careful out there folks.

Serious question- does anyone want two 20 year old red foot tortoises? I’m moving house and won’t have a garden for them. Happy to deliver them within a reasonable distance DM with any questions. (They actually belonged to my son but he’s cleared off to live in Australia and left them behind…).

Coincidentally Margarita Rimmer is also the name I perform under on a Sunday night at the local.

Sometimes the greatest psych is absolutely contrived. @scribblerrob.bsky.social helped me get over worrying about that when I read his great Psychedelia & Other Colours. Enjoy ! youtu.be/xF-oQdybwN4?...

Has it escaped the notice of our government that Trump effectively threatening to bankrupt our national broadcaster - whatever you think of it, it’s paid for by UK citizens - is a hostile act. I haven’t heard them push back yet. #bbc

Between this and the Louvre prosecutor describing the suspects’ statements as “minimalist” while bragging that they had worked on the case over a weekend it’s an absolutely incredible week for Frenchness
A French cyclist survived for three days after a horrendous 130-foot fall into a ravine, kept alive by the bottles of red wine he had in his shopping bag, police said.

Genuinely just had an email from the most magnificently named Tamla Tutankhamun - I’m definitely getting these vibes.
