Just logged in to see when I joined. It was 23 years, 5 months and 25 days ago, apparently.

Thank you! Both very good points. I think I just need to get out more.

I agree; it felt like they'd tried to recreate it for normies. Guess I'm very biased though.

I'm looking for furniture for my office but it seems that "vintage" these days ONLY means mid century modern. No, I don't want a sleek G Plan sideboard! Where my fussy gothic Victorian cabinets at?!

Have you seen the set? I've only seen trailer type clips which look like they were filmed in the Lucky Saint in Marylebone. He has said the show will be filmed in East London.

Yeah, it hadn't occurred to me that it must have been a pain to persuade celebrity guests to pop up to Digbeth for a 5 minute chat.

I put this on Reddit and have been accused of complaining. So I just want to add that I'm not complaining, I'm just surprised. Joe Lycett's a good man and he's done loads for Birmingham. Asking this question isn't meant to diminish him or his work in any way! People are strange.

Yeah, same. It's odd not to even mention it. It's none of my business but I'm so curious about the reasoning.

Can we talk about the fact that Joe Lycett has gone from championing Birmingham - insisting his Friday night show must be made here, and offering paid apprenticeships to local people - to just... Making it in London and not mentioning Birmingham at all? What happened?

Joanne could have done something similar if she wasn't spending her money on being a twot x

I mean, I also leave the house

Sometimes when a post gets a very "Bluesky" response - as this one rightly has - I go to Twitter and Facebook to see what people outside of my bubble think. But I'll never know, because this seems to be the only channel where the Mayor's account doesn't limit replies. 🤔

To answer my own question: the ASL Group website says this plane is "primarily used for TV & Radio relay flights". So it's acting as a receiver and transmitter, not a camera.

I presume this plane is filming for the athletics (and probably not going to Antwerp), but how much will it really see from 28,000 feet?

I thought about it as I was writing the post and... yeah, cba 🫠 But it did make me remember how much of a pain it is to write something like that. No laws have changed and it's not illegal to do any of it - it's just "advice". So they probably have to say, eg, "you should not" rather than "do not".

Very aware that I'm just adding to the mix by moaning about everything on here. I should just get outside and touch gra... Oh, there isn't any.

Someone else posted that they're still using their garden firepit because they're very experienced and know the risks. Aye right.

I think I need to stop reading about other people. The stupidity is relentless. Under stories about people losing their homes in fires, there are multiple people arguing that "it was a disposable barbecue - nothing to do with so-called climate change!"

Not here. Have you got the "alert reminder" on?

What's the average reading age here? 10? Yeah, half the population did not read all that guff. (Nationally what? Landowners who?) I just hate noise so I'd already turned it off before I took in any of what it was saying.
