Now I'm in my 50s I realise the most frequent conversation I have goes like this: Them: Just be yourself Me: OK [is self] Them: Not like that

@TheLastLeg Hwy, #IsItOK that I had to specially drop back down to this hellsite to find out why your main viewer contact is *still* via the platform owned by an actual fucking nazi whose boss just declared federal war on the trans, home-working and disabled?

@autisticgardner That's a lot of bull

Breakfast at Costa with my favorite bull.

@swansonian "In the olden days children's stories were allowed to be unsettling"

@disappoptimism Must confess my thought was he has a job offer as CEO or CFO of some world-level thing (World Bank? WTO?) but only if he can start in August.

@d_grayer That's cool -- did you get to the bottom of what the parade was for? Car show?

I've seen some unusual sights whilst walking the dog through the village. Pigs, cows, sheep, and horses, but never a convoy of Reliant Robins.

Any comedy search experts able to find an old Play Away (?) sketch in Caesar's tent, many many puns on Hail Caesar: - Is that rain? - No, it's hail, caesar [all] Hail Caesar! - There is a messenger without - Big strong chap? - No, bit of a frail geezer [all] Frail Geezer! etc..

@Backagainthird There's one (sort of) in Blyth Bridge in the Scottish Borders -- every time I pass I want to go and see what the story is with it.

Just a green telephone box. Not very interesting, I know, but I've never seen one before so thought it was cool.

Amazon sending me recommendations for things I not only own but have actually reviewed (complete with vine voice and verified purchase labels) seems a little, er, pointless...

@quantick Fine, forward me some of your emails and I'll answer them for you.

@autisticgardner @UreyPam I take it you never use it

@UreyPam Blend is my middle name.

It's Friday and this is my glamours dog walker look. I fit straight in. 😂😂😂

@TalkingPicsTV Virgin. I assume they have a careless Doctor Who fan in the team.

@AlasdairSwanson It isn't us Alasdair. Whose EPG is it? Freeview, Virgin etc?

Not 100% sure @TalkingPicsTV have the right picture here...

@jester_mouse I live in this hellhole

This year's Christmas lego has had a Japanese theme. 🏯

@autisticgardner Watch your bulbs. I speak from experience...

There is a grey furry thing on my nuts.

@swansonian @coppin_erin They would also ask if you were all right there because Scotland is so friendly. Happy New Year.

My son's girlfriend correctly decided my hair needed braiding.

@swansonian There are about a dozen parakeets known in Edinburgh. Never seen any of the colourful bastards myself, dammit

@mrjamesmack @jester_mouse On relevant FB groups? I'll try and pop it there if not

Missing cat in Barnton, NW Edinburgh, please share - this is the legendary Chairman (Miaow), he's old and a bit frail, missing 24 hours now, Edinburgh folk plz share 🙏
