Me and wifey have visited loads of historical homes around the UK, mostly owned by charities

Many of them talk about 'persecution of Catholics' but they always talk as if the church and Christianity are benign or positive things

What if churches (and Christianity itself) are actually evil? 🤔

Some websites suggest #GuyFawkes was set up and Robert Cecil used paranoia about Roman Catholics to influence King James in 1605

@romanpiso.bsky.social shared a link recently which suggested that the Vatican had links to Hitler in the 1940s

So maybe Cecil/King James were right to be paranoid? 🤔

They had it on the bar jukebox when we went to Malta, and it was played virtually all the time that the bar was open 😁

Udon noodles dressed with dark soy sauce. Chopped sundried tomatoes in mine, chopped kalamata olives in wifey's

Wifey has the remaining bacon-wrapped pheasant breast from yesterday, stuffed with stem ginger in syrup, sliced, dressed with mayo, spring onions, syrup from the ginger

When I do a search for Shea Serrano, who I've never heard of before, the pictures of him don't look anything like the guy with sunglasses in the profile picture there 🤔

Hmmm, not bad at all ❤️

I don't know much about #football, but two points from ten matches doesn't sound like a great way to stay in the #PremierLeague

Misinformation is rife on social media

Always check what people are telling you

They're going to love the fact that William wants to disestablish the Church of England when he's king, then 😉

Pheasant breast, stuffed with stem ginger in syrup and wrapped in bacon, then oven-baked

Served on smashed boiled carrot, parsnip, potato with butter and some of the ginger syrup mixed in

Served with labneh, toasted pecans and za'atar

Also made pâté (see Alt Text)

The #Morrisons website quite clearly shows persimmons as a pack of four, states that it's 4 fruit at 25p each

What I actually received suggests otherwise 🤔

Having said that, at least they're not from illegal Israeli settlements in Palestine, they're from Spain🇪🇸

People who put restrictions on replies and quote posts really get on my nerves

Anyway, the American Dream is still alive and kicking in poor countries all around the world, despite the efforts of the orange paedo and his crooked cohorts

#MissSaigon got it right

#LibreOffice has recently been updated to 25.8.2.2 (X86_64)

Previously, a document would open in the place on the screen that it was in when it was saved

Now it doesn't 😬

Team effort for the #food tonight 👫

Was going to be #vegetarian but I needed to use up the lamb rump steak that wifey had cooked for me while I was at work yesterday 😊

Wifey makes amazing jacket potatoes, I did jacket sweet potato, both with sweetcorn and black olives (see Alt Text)

I'd never heard of Dan Levy before I saw this meme but I disagree with all three sentences

Like all generalisations it only applies to some people

Sometimes we're so busy being good capitalist sheep that we think of things that are good for our soul and character as "nonsense we've wasted time on"

Private Eye magazine keeping us well informed about paedo Andrew - sorry, 'prince' Andrew - and other #RoyalParasites

Willy Wanker™️ wants to support far fewer charities when he's king, dump being head of the Commonwealth, also disestablishment of the Church of England

Our friend who lives in Dayton took us to Cincinnati for the day, but there were no breakfast meats or chilli involved 😊

I discovered quite early in our relationship that the sound of military jet aircraft excited her, so we went to Farnborough Airshow every time it was on after that discovery

This AN-225 with 6 engines in 1989 was probably the most effective of the lot, the earth really moved for both of us 😉
