Human, just about. The only things that keep me sane are: music, motorsport, snow sports, craft beer & cheese. Never been nibbled to death by an okapi. I block stupid people & bigots.

Good series, but a huge red flag is literally every single scam is based around #Meta products, #Facebook and #WhatsApp.

Dec 6: Another Favorite Song. Let's go with #ABBA Tiger from their fantastic arrival album. This used to be on a lot in our household growing up, and as a teenage boy, i definitely didn't have the hots for Agnetha. :-)

Day 5, s song with a number in the title. This always troubled me that the original version, the colour wasn't specified. It's very un German to leave details like that out!

Unfashionably late to the party on this, so let's sneak Day 4 in before the day is out. I'm a huge fan of #theinterrupters so let's start there.

Well that was depressing.Went #EV shopping today, none of the cars were suitable, all too small :-(

Tried: @hyundaiuk.bsky.social #Hyundai Ionic 5, Ionic 9, #Peugoet 3008 and 5008

Too small to even safely test drive. Aren't EV's SUPPOSED to be more spacious?? Sticking with my Diesel #Kia Sportage

They say that plastic takes millions of years to decompose, but I bought a cheap nylon canopy for my garden swing off Amazon last summer and the thing has already fallen to bits. Come on, boffins, which is it? Odd Skodheim, Nottingham

#BBC are upto to their usual tricks, I have been testing their comment moderation rules.

I flagged a comment that someone made along the lines of "coloured people are filling our hospitals, we can't get an appointment", apparently that was fine, they rejected the flagged post.
