VOTE!! As the old German saying goes, "Vox Populi ist einfach klasse"

Meanwhile on Facebook, there's an advert implying "Vote Tory or the kitten dies" www.facebook.com/ads/library/...

Today, a small adventure. First of all, train to the lovely town of Pewsey. Second of all, Lardy Cake!

"The name of Serre and the date of 1st July is engraved deep in our hearts, along with the faces of our 'Pals', a grand crowd of chaps. We were two years in the making and ten minutes in the destroying." Pte A.V. Pearson, 15th Bn (1st Leeds), The Prince of Wales's Own (West Yorkshire Regiment)

You know you're getting old when cars of your teenage years appear at classic car shows

Moi, je salue la confrérie des léopards mangeur des visages

Bombshell in France: Head of Les Républicains, the party of the traditional conservatives who long ruled France, just announced he’d accept a coalition deal with Le Pen’s far-right party. Unprecedented in national French politics. It'd be a huge collapse of the barrier against the RN.

Reskeet with how old you are, using a vague proxy I had a Wicket the Ewok lunchbox, but didn't know who Han Solo was

Reskeet with how old you are, using a vague proxy: My primary school had a computer

Slightly concerned that if the new suprisre candidate is elected as Bristol Central MP, we might end the Colston statue discussions with a statue of her favourite author atop the plinth

As a public sector employee I'm supposed to be politically neutral on social media. But Am I allowed to talk to my therapist about it?

Trust me, I have a Real Time Trains pin badge

They/Them Ant Thant

This creature from that nest remains and probably always will be the coolest thing I've found: the bilateral gynandromorph Polyergus longicornis; half worker, half winged male alate. A They/Them Ant. 🖤❤️ Still feels kind of surreal! 🌿🐜🧪

RISHI: You're sure about this? ADVISOR: Yes RISHI: Because it's a big deal ADVISOR: Um, is it..? RISHI: Okay I'm doing it. DONE. Tweeted. ADVISOR: Cool I- WHAT?!. National EXPRESS! RISHI: You said National Service! ADVISOR: I said National EXPRESS! Instead of helicopters everywhere! RISHI: Oh fuuuck

Confirmation: NI Minister Steve Baker says Sunak’s National Service wheeze was developed by a political adviser and sprung on candidates with no consultation or even talking to relevant ministers.

Hope all you froods are having a hoopy Towel Day

New climbing frame at Newtown Park (the bottom of the Railway Path) down St. Phillips. #Bristol

Strong Blackbird funeral energy there

Nice line up of landies at Steam on the Levels. Every dent tells a story Nice to look at, but I don't have the time or money for one of my own

It can be a hard read, but the stories coming out of the Mt. St. Helens eruption are fascinating. I don't remember being taught about the human element when we did it in geography at school.

35 miles downstream, Roald Reitan and Venus Dergan are fighting for their lives in the South Fork Toutle River. A lahar full of timber-yard logs overran their campsite, forcing them into the hot, debris-laden water. Venus is pulled under, but Roald saves her life.

Weekly Friday evening visit to the Arbor tap. "Pint of whatever is on, please" Tonight, it's a fresh Rocket Man. Not normally an IPA drinker, but this is a tasty one

Mr Gorbachev, come to Porthcawl!

Mr Gorbachev, speak in a drawl!

Thank the white knight Sir Antony of Blackburn. Jeremy Vine is on holiday!

Somehow, David Cameron returned

May the fourth etc…

Over twenty years since I descended from High Church Anglican to the Dunkers, but if anyone tells me "May the Force be with you", I still automatically reply "And also with you"

Walking down to the polling station past the site of Ben Tillett MPs old gaff on John Street, now a park followed slum clearances

Watched the latest Lateral with Tom Scott and all I can think of is the jingle "081 811 8181" Then there's the Lloyds bank ad that went "Go forth and seek the monster Tundred. Sever both its heads and a Princess will be release"
