If you did not see them being fed then they were not fed. This is the true conspiracy created by Schrodinger’s cat.

I call heresy Sir! A plain chocolate digestive is the ultimate dunking biscuit. I wouldn’t dunk a posh biscuit, they deserve to be savoured neat. As such a digestive really is my favourite.

Not my area of expertise, but I saw another Bluesky commenter mention that the number of likes and retweets of the UK’s Reform Party posts on X dropped compared to normal rates.

It is alright, no need to worry, because no one knows more about deficits than President Donald J Trump. It is all perfectly normal.

@garethdennis.uk Why is Birmingham New Street so confusing? I would have missed my connecting if it wasn’t for another passenger showing me where to go! It was a lot easier before it was renovated.

In Preston it is increasingly common for cars to have all 4 wheels on the pavement. But neither police or council have the resources to deal with it. 🙁

Morgan Freeman as the voice of Grommets internal monologue would be perfect. Visual: Grommet at the top of a ladder, balanced on a motorcycle sidecar traveling at speed. “Yes, that’s me, you are probably wondering how we ended up here…”

I have been thwarted by the pay wall. Is Martin Freeman voicing Grommet or just reading the words written by Grommet?

I used to see that from my bedroom window when I lived in London. 30 years ago, before it was renovated though.

The only thing that I can see is a zebra having a swim. But I can’t tell it’s distance or bearing.

Thanks I will take a look. Also, as I don’t think I have said already. I listened to the Audio book* of EWSY and I thought that it was excellent. The audio narration was brilliant. The story and the way you built up the characters through layers of their history was a joy to listen to.

A wonderful thread Tom. I really like the picture of The Bear busking. Would it be possible to buy a copy?

There was a murder at Malmo Station, as commuters alighted the train from Copenhagen they were aghast. Not the murder of a person, but of the new station signage, ruined by a criminal choice of typeface.

Only if the job is as a science teacher. Or as a maverick city stockbroker, and you need a dramatic effect as you emerge from the lift onto the trading floor each morning.

I read this post earlier and as I was deliberating whether or not to go and see Pressure at the cinema, it helped me decide to go and see it.

I need to bring this post to the attention of @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social in light of recent ginger cat adoption events. Also his books of cat memoirs are very good.

I suspect that the growing number of people who like to redecorate houses in just white, black and grey with all original features removed, will love this new range.

Does laundry day only happen once a month? or are there other captains of the laundry who volunteer?

I am from Earlsdon originally too. I agree that Churchill did not choose to sacrifice Coventry to protect Bletchley Park, it is very much an urban myth.

As an audio-only listener, I assume that your cat is sat behind a glass screen, carefully controlling a mixing desk, while giving you instructions through a talkback system.

I am bloody proud to be an #RNLI supporter and member! These brilliant men and women have quite enough to cope with without being harassed by the scum of the earth. Their only concern is to help people in danger at sea - not check passports first! Which is how it should be. Please RT if you agree🙏

Understandable! Although I recall the university also having a Methodist Chaplain who would never object to a cup of tea when offered with the question “More tea vicar?”
