Don Shipp @donshipp.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Are you retired again? Try to stick with it, this time. 020
Don Shipp @donshipp.bsky.social · 08/10/2026So does mine. But the room that I inhabit is very cosy. 110
Don Shipp @donshipp.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Whenever I watch old movies I am thinking how cool the coats are. Also Poirot :- Hastings, (played by the living incarnation of Wellington); i am wowed by the coats he gets to wear. And that Vienna thing, of course. 020
Don Shipp @donshipp.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Lower visible body count than Dan Brown’s version, tho’. 031
Don Shipp @donshipp.bsky.social · 03/10/2026There’s a heron in my back garden. This is as close as it let me get, today. 130
Don Shipp @donshipp.bsky.social · 08/09/2026@wulfhelm.bsky.social Today I visited the final resting place (until barbarians came and dug him up) of a dead king. It was raining. Luckily there was an indoor bit. 021
Don Shipp @donshipp.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Barbara Windsor as Edith of Mercia. Margaret Nolan as Edith Swanneck. This is one of the times when I am right. 010
Don Shipp @donshipp.bsky.social · 02/09/2026When I was still but a stripling youth I used to watch on TV “The Galloping Gourmet”, mostly because there was not much else to watch. But the lessons that I learned then have stayed with me very since. 140
Don Shipp @donshipp.bsky.social · 06/08/2026All that proves is that Middle Earth has been visited by a certain seafaring Norseman. Who one day will write a saga about his epic voyage. 010
Don Shipp @donshipp.bsky.social · 26/11/2025Must be a mistake. I don’t even have six fingers on my right hand. 000
Don Shipp @donshipp.bsky.social · 15/11/2025In case you need a reminder of what retirement actually looks like, you are this close. 070
Don Shipp @donshipp.bsky.social · 15/11/2025Post your favourite Star Trek character. Wrong answers only. 020
Don Shipp @donshipp.bsky.social · 06/11/2025But why should you have to when much richer people pay less, or none? When “Eyebrows” was chancellor, the upper tax rate was 97%. 010
Don Shipp @donshipp.bsky.social · 02/11/2025Brexit wasn’t as simple as that until Farage did this. 120
Don Shipp @donshipp.bsky.social · 28/10/2025Dons dinner tonight. Meatballs, gnocchi and sliced Moomintroll. 010
Don Shipp @donshipp.bsky.social · 26/10/2025Jack Higgins (real name Henry Patterson) also wrote a much better story (under the name of John Graham) that was turned into a much better film, if only because it did not have Canadian Donald Sutherland doing his excruciating Irish accent. 010
Don Shipp @donshipp.bsky.social · 27/09/2025Mine went in last year. But burning wood for heat, light, cooking and comfort is a two million year old legacy. 010
Don Shipp @donshipp.bsky.social · 27/09/2025Not while the BBC are letting Farrige control the narrative. 010
