Murray Thomson @drmuzz57.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Indeed - my one (pictured) can haul a lot of stuff - and it’s fun to drive 120
Murray Thomson @drmuzz57.bsky.social · 30/08/2026I saw so many cool kei vehicles in Japan in June 120
Murray Thomson @drmuzz57.bsky.social · 28/06/2026Niche Kiwi observation here - Jack has got into public transport, it seems 010
Murray Thomson @drmuzz57.bsky.social · 27/06/2026Or even this little beauty I saw today in Takayama 000
Murray Thomson @drmuzz57.bsky.social · 15/06/2026Some sensible electioneering spotted here in Kyoto - and I am in kei truck heaven - the range, ingenuity and diversity of vehicles is jaw-dropping 020
Murray Thomson @drmuzz57.bsky.social · 23/05/2026“… takes pole” - or was there an election on? The Grauniad is back 🤣 010
Murray Thomson @drmuzz57.bsky.social · 13/05/2026It’s the same old Tory story - our fellow Kiwis have short memories 010
Murray Thomson @drmuzz57.bsky.social · 13/04/2026There’s no better indication of the advanced state of enshittification of our postal services than this 6-day gap 1204
Murray Thomson @drmuzz57.bsky.social · 10/03/2026Uday and Qusay - remember them? This photo shows how they ended up - let’s hope karma will operate here too 000
Murray Thomson @drmuzz57.bsky.social · 20/02/2026Just paid a king’s ransom at Doha airport for a coffee that isn’t hot enough. Barista got some gentle advice on using a thermometer and the principle that 65-70 degrees is the target. Awaiting Mk 2 now… 020
Murray Thomson @drmuzz57.bsky.social · 19/02/2026And here’s some Anchor cream cheese I bought in Baghdad - it’s credited to Saudi Arabia, that well-known dairy colossus. Talk about selling the family silver (again) 050
Murray Thomson @drmuzz57.bsky.social · 14/02/2026So nothing to do with Ireland’s Beamish? (see photo) 111
Murray Thomson @drmuzz57.bsky.social · 13/02/2026Saddam’s spectacular Al-Faw palace was looking amazing this afternoon 110
Murray Thomson @drmuzz57.bsky.social · 17/11/2025Can you imagine us Huntly boys smoking weed and listening to this back in the day 120
Murray Thomson @drmuzz57.bsky.social · 07/09/2025We visited the American Cemetery near Omaha Beach today - it’s a magnificent and moving tribute to the anti-Fascist values and sacrifice of those who lie there. The current US leadership is shitting all over those. It is appalling. 010
Murray Thomson @drmuzz57.bsky.social · 02/09/2025Spotted this gorgeous creature today in Vitre - my fingers were a-twitchin’, that’s for sure - she was just crying out for “House of the rising sun” 🎹 001
Murray Thomson @drmuzz57.bsky.social · 24/08/2025Spotted this yesterday in Bourgogne’s largest wine cellar - and that was before the tasting 010
Murray Thomson @drmuzz57.bsky.social · 23/07/2025Here’s a couple of pictures I took at UNAM in 2020 of a sculpture called “Ozzie visits the Alamo” 020
Murray Thomson @drmuzz57.bsky.social · 12/07/2025Unusual to see a game with so few of the triple word squares used - a couple of bingos helped, though 000
Murray Thomson @drmuzz57.bsky.social · 02/05/2025Time for the 3-year service of the E61 group head - easier to take it apart than to reassemble it, though. I fluked it again - thanks to YouTube and Berry Roasters 010
Murray Thomson @drmuzz57.bsky.social · 30/04/2025This eyesore from over the hill has materialised on our corner, inconsiderately parked so as to be a traffic hazard - it blocks the turning driver’s view of oncoming traffic. On the bright side, it does look flammable… 000
Murray Thomson @drmuzz57.bsky.social · 25/02/2025Having a clean-out and found this - check out the cost of a Six Nations ticket in 1987 - probably 100 times that now, and England are still playing boring rugby. France won 19-15 that day, 2 tries to none. Some things don’t change 030
Murray Thomson @drmuzz57.bsky.social · 07/01/2025I have a Microsoft Outlook problem - these people I have never heard of sent me a recurring invitation back in December and I can’t get rid of it. Every evening I get a reminder, and it’s really irritating. I have tried emailing them but get no response. Any good ideas out there? 000
Murray Thomson @drmuzz57.bsky.social · 07/01/2025This is a sign put up in Balmacewen Rd a few months ago by our city council: it’s positioned too high for pedestrians; font too small for drivers; and it’s uninformative to anyone who did read it - there’s no start or finish date. Someone had one job to do, and this is what we got 😅 010
Murray Thomson @drmuzz57.bsky.social · 26/12/2024Thanks for this! We have it on the wall in our bedroom, and I have always wondered what it said. My wife’s parents got it overseas many years ago 010
Murray Thomson @drmuzz57.bsky.social · 23/12/2024Playing my way through some of my old music just now and I came across this great tempo instruction from Fats Waller 😅 020
Murray Thomson @drmuzz57.bsky.social · 27/11/2024Finally, after literally decades of being prompted on this point, the HRC has realised it needs some oral health research expertise on its assessing committees. Too late for them and for me, since I have retired, but let’s hope it augurs well for others. Too many shit decisions in the past 100
Murray Thomson @drmuzz57.bsky.social · 27/11/2024To the clearly ill woman in seat A in our row on flight NZ120 from Melbourne to Auckland last Thursday, THIS is why they ask you not to fly if you are unwell. Very generous of you - we’d managed to avoid it for nearly 5 years… 210
Murray Thomson @drmuzz57.bsky.social · 10/11/2024Spent a great afternoon hiking round Dove Lake at Cradle Mountain - a more strenuous trek awaits tomorrow. 000
Murray Thomson @drmuzz57.bsky.social · 09/11/2024I fluked this arty shot with my phone on Maria Island (TAS) last weekend 000
Murray Thomson @drmuzz57.bsky.social · 24/10/2024Went to an auto show here in Dunedin last weekend and saw this little beauty - a Subaru kei van done up to look like a Kombi. Want! 010
