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" 6866

David Murphy @david-murphy.bsky.social · 30/09/2026At 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. 010
David Murphy @david-murphy.bsky.social · 30/09/2026These 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? 001

David Murphy @david-murphy.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I'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. 001

David Murphy @david-murphy.bsky.social · 19/09/2026I 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." 110

David Murphy @david-murphy.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I think I first became aware of Stephanie Cole through repeats of Waiting for God. Then I noticed and admired her in loads of comedies.

David Murphy @david-murphy.bsky.social · 06/08/2026I 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. 000
David Murphy @david-murphy.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Calculated my insulin dose for breakfast, injected, and left the house. Unfortunately, I left my breakfast behind.

David Murphy @david-murphy.bsky.social · 10/07/2026I 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. 010
