I've set up a 'Mastodon' account, mainly to make sure that I can keep the same handle: @drcjhand@mastodonapp.uk I have no idea how it works, and no time in the near future to learn. Not leaving Twitter.

Had to nip to the shop for essentials (loaf, milk, gruyère, cans). Loads of folk out doing their shopping while moaning about other folk doing their shopping 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️ As bad as drivers in traffic moaning about traffic 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

@LindaKKaye Completely agree re: artificial grass. Acceptable for sports surfaces.

My Room 101 list: - Trick or Treat- a stupid pasttime - Plastic sauce packages-only about 50% of them actually tear open -Artificial grass- non- environmentally friendly -Baby on board stickers- what tangible outcome do people expect from these? -Nandos-overrated & overpriced

@LindaKKaye My understanding is that the Baby on Board things started life as a way to alert emergency services that they should check the vehicle for a baby in the event of a wreckage. Seems like the mere presence of a car seat would do the job these days.

Well, that's one way to entice people to take up Editorial posts 😵‍💫😵‍💫🤯🤯🤭🤭

@drushe1983 @AccidentalP Stop getting Bond wrong!

Genuinely sorry that things didn't go better this season. What Rob Edwards and the team have achieved in the past couple of seasons will not be forgotten. The impact on Luton as a town has been tremendous. Good luck for what comes next #COYH

This January, @LuckySaintBeer is proclaiming ‘Thou Shalt Go To The Pub’, giving away 100,000 pints of their golden lager across participating pubs in the UK. Why? Because, Lucky Saint believe the greatest reward of drinking is the social connection, not the alcohol. To claim your free pint click here🍺⬇️ luckysaint.co/pages/free-pint 🤝Taking a friend to the pub? Share the link with them and they can redeem a free pint too.

If you're feeling a bit hopeless or pointless as we approach the New Year, just remember that there's someone in Germany who spends their days putting indicators on BMWs.

@willmill82 @ScotRail If it is real, the folks from Dunfermline might be a bit miffed.

Other than the "45" bit, this could've been me (I was 34 when Eric was born). I was walking through Morrisons the other day, saw a display for Babycham, and a bit too loudly said -- to no-one in particular -- "Babycham! Booze for t'baby!"

He subverted the power of authority and twice came within a whisker of stealing the blue diamond, that’s what he did! In this house Feathers McGraw is a hero!

Using the last of my annual leave to finish in 2nd place in the Dundonald Links Turkey Trophy. I won a really big bit of fish 😅 81 shots, minus 14 for handicap, 67 / 5-under-par. 41 Stableford points. @DundonaldLinks 🦃🏆

this is absolutely the worst solo i have ever heard by any instrument

@angelajaap Given the state of mine, I'm going to have to eat the National Portrait Gallery 😅

Consuming arts and culture is good for health and wellbeing, research finds theguardian.com/society/2024/d…

This might be of interest to @UofGEducation folks and @BPSCyberPsych folks. Available on STV Player live and on catch-up

This answers the question “What were the 70s like?” better in two minutes than I could answer it with a thousand words. Quite likely the best thing you’ll see today. Just trust me.

As is traditional in Ireland during big storms, we all await a news story from a windswept reporter that has been tied to a lamppost in Salthill while some gobshite in the background flies a small dog like a kite as the waves smash over a poorly parked Ford Focus #StormDarragh
