Hey folks. In total honesty my tour is NOT selling well. I’ve sold 30 tickets in a 400 seater in Birmingham, and not much more elsewhere. If you like musical comedy, if you like standup, then please come see my show! And spread the word! The Rachel Parris Songbook tour starts in Nov! Link in bio! 🎶

The problem is that you have to pay the tax it BEFORE you get the inheritance. You can't get a grant of probate (and therefore realise the assets) until HMRC have been paid, and you can't use the estate to pay it. Unless we have a massively incompetent solicitor dealing with my FIL's estate.

There was Association Football on the Light Programme, but nothing on the moving picture box. (One of the best bits of having a library card is access to the Gale Primary Sources online newspaper archive! That, and books)

Give him credit, it will be unique. No other country in the world has a major tourist attraction surrounded by barbed wire fencing and sniper nests

I think there are probably good reasons why no other country has a Military Complex and Ammo Dump in the middle of their capital city. Of course the whole "Military request" thing is BS, unless Hegseth phoned him up at 2am and slurred "Hey Boss, wouldn't it be cool if...."

Dear Americans, Why does your nation's capital suddenly need so many new sniper positions? Are your leaders worried about some sort of "thing" happening?

CITIZENS OF THE UK! I need you to stop what you're doing and watch this 20 minute BBC documentary from 1972 about a new potato-based snack. One that's a bit like crisps but nobody is confident the public will embrace. I think 54 years later we know the answer to that question.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social When did you do this organised sport at your school? Was it after "normal school hours" (after 3:30 or so) or did it replace lesson time? I can't see anyone being happy about extending the school day for "compulsory games", as good as that may be long-term.

No, if the government does not get a grip on the racist mob crisis, then more incidents like this will happen.

I will look forward to hearing that, finally, the US MSM has hung him out to dry for the total disrespect he is showing to all those who actually were there, the rescuers and those who sadly died. Absolutely disgusting. Trump telling lies used to be funny, now it is beyond the pale.

Dolly Parton on trans rights. God I loved her.

When looking at the issue of anti-trans legislation, Parton said that “I try to get into the human element of it.” Pointing out that she has people in her life who identify as queer and trans, the 77-year-old star said it was important to hear what they’re saying.

“I know and love them all, and I do not judge. And I just see how broken-hearted they get over certain things and I know how real they are,” she said. “I know how important this is to them. That’s who they are. They cannot help that any more than I can help being Dolly Parton, you know, the way people know me. If there’s something to be judged, that is God’s business. But we are all God’s children and how we are is who we are.”

One of the first "outrageous" claims I saw as Jason Arday's media hounding unfolded was that he ran 30 marathons in 35 days! Wow! What a thing to claim! And the newspapers all suggested there was no evidence he actually did it. Well, they clearly didn't look very hard 🙄 🧵 1/26

Do you want to hazard a guess at what this “jaw-dropping” list of freebies included? What luxuries asylum seekers might be being given “for free” in Thetford? Xboxes? Plasma TVs? iPhones? Ferraris? Let's take a look👀 🧵 1/22

And people had to buy Freeview STB's or new sets when Analogue switch off happened. I hate to break it to you, but unless you ONLY watch BBC TV you are already being monetised ☺️ If you feel strongly about this there is a government consultation ongoing. I'll link to it at the top of the thread.

Freeview needs a decent TV signal. A lot of current Freeview channels need broadband connectivity. There is a USO for broadband, so long-term this may be addressable. Closing Freeview may not be ideal, but I don't think it will have the impact the article is suggesting.

Simon Bradley @bradleysp.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

As much as I love TPTV, I can't help feeling this is a little scaremongery. The "replacement" for Freeview is Freely, operated by the same organisation, which is essentially Internet-delivered Freeview, is subscription free AND TPTV IS ON IT! It will mean a new STB, but is no quantum shift.
