also IMO her examples aren't really wrong. Yes some people questioned whether those players were English but there was a pretty strong consensus at time that the people who did so were racists. The point isn't there wasn't racism (there def was). It's more society didn't say "and that's acceptable"

At least this seems vaguely legit compared to the Fawlty Towers/Only Fools and Horses crossover dining experience I used to see advertised. I almost want to know just how bad that was.

These AI-generated ads have jumped the shark. Why is Laura Kuenssberg in a messy hotel room with a man who is making her miserable? Why is she wondering what's in a holdall which is obviously full of money? And what is going on with the shape of that bed?

I'm a lifelong opponent of the death penalty, but people who refuse to move up or down the Glider bus, leading to passengers having to crowd into the areas around the doors and stopping anyone getting on or off, should be summarily executed.

(I've since realised how I could have done it without stalling, but I couldn't work it out in that moment).

I once crossed my legs during a driving lesson. I braked with my left foot by mistake. Then I realised I needed to push the clutch in and my left foot was busy. In the end, I couldn't work out how to get out of my predicament without stalling. My instructor said "I've never seen that before."

George W Bush or George H W Bush? (I know, I know. But a George W Bush mask in 1992 makes this story even weirder).

I think I first became aware of Stephanie Cole through repeats of Waiting for God. Then I noticed and admired her in loads of comedies. And, of course, as a massive Cabin Pressure fan, I loved her performance as Carolyn. Thanks for all the laughs. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

So sorry to hear this. Bonnie Greer had a quiet authority that cut through noise and blister and it always seemed like she thought before she spoke.

New from me on my Political Sandbox Substack: We Shape Our Buildings Parliament can move out for 25 years and spend £15.6bn, or stay put for 60 and spend nearly £40bn. It will stay put, and the reason is neither money nor heritage. politicalsandbox.substack.com/p/we-…
Detailed monochrome illustration of a packed Commons-style debating chamber, rows of near-identical besuited men facing each other with more watching from the galleries. The ceiling above them has partly collapsed, with cables and ducting hanging loose into the room. Water stains run down the panelling, scaffolding stands against one wall, and a single red bucket sits on the floor in the middle of the chamber catching a drip. Nobody is looking at any of it.

According to the bible, heaven isn't open plan. This, along with my experience of working in an open plan office, leads me to believe that they are the work of the devil. I'm only half joking.

It's all just so crass and vulgar. How did we get here?
Text from the Guardian: "White House communications director Steven Cheung posted in reply on X: “Jon Jackoff has to be the biggest cuck loser in politics,” while White House spokesman Davis Ingle posted, “Jon Ossoff is a cringeworthy, feminine theatre kid cosplaying as Barack Obama. Nobody gives a shit what this lightweight loser says.”"

Ironically, my (already poor) handwriting has deteriorated enormously thanks to having a job where I have to create documents which may be referred to many years from now, maybe even by historians. I'm so desperate to get everything down, I just kind of scrawl.

MOT this morning. Car has been prepared. Everything was good to go. And then, just as I was leaving the house, the tyre pressure warning light came on. So we'll see what happens.

I remember reading that Scottish breakfast DJ Tich McCooey used to have chicken crisps and diet coke for breakfast. I judged him. This morning I've had beef crisps and pepsi max. Basically the same thing. Now, this is a one off and I wasn't up all night playing gigs, but still.

Calculated my insulin dose for breakfast, injected, and left the house. Unfortunately, I left my breakfast behind. Fortunately, I had something else with the same amount of carbohydrate. Unfortunately, that something else is 2 packets of crisps. 😬

Listening to #bbcwato about people having to retake their driving tests because they want to drive a manual but passed in an auto. My clutch control is good (it's maybe my only driving skill that is). I thought I'd always prefer a manual. But now I drive an EV and it's just really pleasant.

Dermot Murnaghan wrote the introduction for a commemorative booklet about Sullivan Upper around 2001. I started in 2002, so I read it. I could never see him without picturing a 12-year old crawling past the principal's house because he didn't want to be seen without his school cap.

I was literally going to suggest ABRP. In theory, even the elderly TomTom system built into my old Renault Zoe can suggest chargers along the route, although it did just try to take me to a field instead of a charger this afternoon. Newer apps and planners do a better job than that.

This is the face of a girl who was very disappointed when I opened the car boot and then told her not to get in because she wasn't going anywhere. She seems to have got over her disappointment and she'll get to go in the car to be reunited with her family tomorrow.
A German shepherd collie cross sitting on a concrete patio with a big smile on her face. Behind her is a garden with a big lawn, a wooden fence and various plants including a big, purple hydrangea. About half the garden, including the patio, is in the shade. The other half is in bright sunshine.

Follow-up report: the actual people *in* the office were great. Really friendly, helpful, efficient, and passports arrived in lots of time. It feels almost gauche using social media to say that you had a GOOD customer experience, but we are where we are.
