Imagine what it'll be like for the staff, hearing that shite on a loop all day. 😵‍💫

Despite me cancelling the transfer from Plusnet to EE last Thursday (the day they first contacted me), they've still sent the sodding router (arrived today). They fact they sent it using Evri shows the BBC value they put in them.

I have questions. Why does a fridge have the ability to heat up (to 50°C) in the first place, and why are they connected to the internet?

Complaint submitted to Southern Rail re their declined Delay Repay claim. The idiots claimed the delay was caused by Southeastern. There was no delay on that initial leg. Also Southeastern and Southern are now both part of GBR - so pointless buck passing 🤬

Only two of them are made by the same production company, ironically one for the BBC but the other Channel 4. Sewing Bee and Pottery Throwdown, both Love Productiona.

Is he enjoying the results show? 😂

They don't really pay that much for Strictly given the time commitments. Starts at £25k, rising to £75k for finalists.

Should say I spent a lovely afternoon in the delightful company of @mattsawyer.bsky.social with a few pints in Windsor and Eton (well Eton, Windsor was a tad busy).

Surprised it isn't driverless. Seems an obvious candidate for a fully automated DLR type system.

The cute Italian, but also like an overly excitable puppy

So the same train back. Well there is only one.

I note the Joe Lycett pub shit show is still shite. Thankfully the last. Last Leg returning next week. Yay.

I think the Truss hole was approx £60bn

Just when you think the US can't go any lower - guess what - it does. 🙄

That goes into my acceptable type of train livery category.

Some sort of hideous open plan kitchen come diner come laundry come toilet.

They make money from every purchase you make. 0.3% on UK domestic transactions.

Not helped by the councils not emptying them frequently enough though. Except for Bexhill-On-Sea where the bins along the front are emptied at least once a day, seven days a week. And there's a lot of them.

Luckily the company I work for pays for flu jabs.

Ian Palmer @drianpalmer.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

I'm guessing he might need an extra good hug 😉

Ian Palmer @drianpalmer.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Deserved to continue, the BBC killed it off because it was too similar to the X-factor. It was way better and nothing like it really.

Ian Palmer @drianpalmer.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

I'm going to be controversial and say I'm thinking the format is settling down. Yes Josh fluffed a few readings of the autoque tonight, but generally I think the two handed anchor role works. And JoJo was also better tonight. Give it time.

It probably started with Connex, the 1st thing they did was sack all the cleaners.

To be fair (and I hate the witch) I sort of understand her point. I've always been brought up under the understanding I'm half Scottish as both my grandparents on my father's side were Scottish. Might help if Scotland get independence and rejoin the EU, so who am I to argue? 😉

You would never get me in a turquoise shell suit, no matter how quickly I could be bare arsed.

I only wear natural fibres. Man made fibres just don't breathe. Plus I'm allergic to polyester.

Just don't get them pre salt and vinegar'd

000

Air fryer the next day - about 5 mins at 200. Sometimes better than the day before (a little more crispy)

Me too. My local chippy gives so many chips in a regular portion, I'll also be having the other half tomorrow with half roasted chicken from M&S and curry sauce. 😋

The big bang created the matter and antimatter, not the other way round.

“In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.” After that is all gets, frankly, quite complicated.

Why the obsession with making robots two legged? It's just asking for trouble.

Ian Palmer @drianpalmer.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Phew, almost forgot to put out the garden waste for tomorrow.

Ian Palmer @drianpalmer.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Surely there's a simple answer to that.

Never liked tham much, apart from green beans. Could never stand baked beans 🤮

Ian Palmer @drianpalmer.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Are the subtitles AI - because they are horribly wrong. 🤷

It's odd, I have full memory of Robot onwards (aged 4) and bits and bobs before then, but Daemons is a stretch. Given things didn't get repeated much then I'm don't understand.
