Ambeggar @ambeggar.bsky.social · 10/10/2026That had better be Lee Iacocca Elementary . Hey, Robodog, have you got any message for the kids at home? 000
Ambeggar @ambeggar.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Please make sure you have a nurse on hand to extract curious children who get stuck in the Tunnel of Goats (Father Ted reference) 010
Ambeggar @ambeggar.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Poor people. What a shame. To fall so far and find nothing but more depth where they expected to meet the bottom. 000
Ambeggar @ambeggar.bsky.social · 05/10/2026The evacuation of RAF Fairford was 1. Proof that the US armed forces have a testosterone deficiency 2. Proof that the US armed forces still have no idea about asymmetric warfare 3. Proof that the US armed forces have expensive aircraft and no bombs for them 4. An accident ? 000
Ambeggar @ambeggar.bsky.social · 04/10/2026In his mind everything is background to him. Even the people leading him round by the nose and making sure he defiles his office are, to him, just some smart guys with ideas I could support. His foreground is money and gold doodads and the memory of sex acts. 020
Ambeggar @ambeggar.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Given notice there are more counter demonstrators than rambling people with unlikely grievances and someone else to blame. 020
Ambeggar @ambeggar.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I think not. Recently the fash fashion has been for surprise sneak demos because there are more people of good will than enthusiasts for avowed racists or unconvincing, “I’m only saying what everyone thinks.” grifters. 110
Ambeggar @ambeggar.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Judge Dredd’s school visit still my favourite. “Yes, Melony, I’ve killed many, many people. Over half a billion, in fact.” The children’s day didn’t get any better from there on in. 000

Ambeggar @ambeggar.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Weapon is a 1989 sci-fi novel written by Robert Mason in which the protagonist is a perversely benign AI that learns by receiving disagreeable feedback. Benign in the sense that it only murders the bad guys. 000
Ambeggar @ambeggar.bsky.social · 26/09/2026BURSAAAAAAR! Where is the Professor of Cruel and Unusual Geography now? 010
Ambeggar @ambeggar.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I would have been well choughed with some well placed red highlights on that linocut. 010

Ambeggar @ambeggar.bsky.social · 23/09/2026And then did rather well in Canada; I remain disappointed he didn't take note of the Residential Schools but at least he tried for a multiracial Canadian identity separate from its British connection. 010
Ambeggar @ambeggar.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Another of my hobby horses is Buchan on Race and Empire and how a man aspiring to be decent and kind (having read Memory-Hold-The-Door) could be so determined to see Empire as a Force for Good to the Poor Foreigners and yet also write Prester John (Bad People can Corrupt the Imperial Burden) 120
Ambeggar @ambeggar.bsky.social · 22/09/2026If Grant had a failing it was not really paying attention to what the enemy was doing because he knew what he wanted to do. He nearly let the garrison at Fort Donelson stage a surprise escape and got punched first at Shiloh. But in both cases he just got on with his own ideas anyway! 170
Ambeggar @ambeggar.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Not to be commercial but there’s fish and chips both ways along the sea front and a street of Levantine restaurants round the corner with a Chinese as well. Local knowledge of a good doner shop welcome… 000
Ambeggar @ambeggar.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Your grandma wears Union Flag knickers and no pad and your granda sniffs her laundry basket? 000
Ambeggar @ambeggar.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Chains boo. Local Chinese lunch deals, Indian thali joints, pie chips and peas from the local chippy and a final doner (eaten if possible when NOT drunk) HURRAH! 1110
Ambeggar @ambeggar.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Oh, you may murmur! But Necessiter is the mother of Invention… 000

Ambeggar @ambeggar.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Am I wrong or does the Disney Bedknobs and Broomsticks age pretty well, even in the Portobello Road section? 000
Ambeggar @ambeggar.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Neil Gaiman wrote a short “Problem with Susan” story which I didn’t find very satisfying. But then it does seem rather like Narnia is just one story to eternity and unlikely to be an exclusive route. The Wood Between the Worlds is implied to be infinite, after all. 130

Ambeggar @ambeggar.bsky.social · 19/09/2026His Holiness welcomed the Rutan Ambassador at the start of the church’s attempt to bring it closer to the Sontarans in the vain hope they wouldn’t just start murdering each other over the peace conference table . 000
Ambeggar @ambeggar.bsky.social · 19/09/2026You will be glad to hear, Your Holiness, that there is an inexhaustible supply… 010

Ambeggar @ambeggar.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Yup. Definitely too many notes in that Etude for Loser in the kkkey of JD. 000
