Stone cold classic. Still got my original, which still plays remarkably well. I remember buying it with the money I was earning from the crappy job I had after leaving school. Happy days.🙂

I think most decent intelligent people will see it for what it is, the worrying thing is, there doesn't seem to be many decent intelligent people left.🙄

A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, billionnaires built libraries, theatres, schools, hospitals; now they invest their money in political parties that will allow them to make even more billions, and allow them to build a Death Star.🙄 #Reform #reformuk #politics #dontfallfortheirbullshit

I've just signed my own executive order to rename The Donalds in Scotland to The Scottish Mountains; and a second executive or order to remame Trump Street in London to American Sociopath Street. Easy as that.🙂

I remember my work experience in 1984. Still at school, 15 years old, got sent to an engineering firm, nearly chopped my finger off on the first day. Never wanted to work again.😆

Climate change deniers, debunking the science behind climate change, finally accepting it exists, have a new strategy, debunk the science behind how it can be reversed. My house is on fire, ah well, I may as well enjoy the heat. What the fuck is wrong with these people?🙄

This new King Gizzard & The Lizzard Wizzard album is demented, it's like they've been assimilated by The Borg. Not sure what the rock purists will make of it though, it's full on techno.🙂 #kinggizzard #kglw #nowplaying #musicsky #nowspinning

Middle of August, the World Cup ended 3 weeks ago, and we have reached peak sporting indifference with ITV1 showing a pre-season friendly between Man Utd and Leeds; meanwhile another major international sporting event is happening in Birmingham, and nobody is watching. Football, give it a rest.🙄

A pet hate of mine. If I see I queue, I just walk past it straight to the bar. I'm polite and don't push in, I let the people in the queue get served before me, making sure I've made my point.

Not keen on going back to Root, but it's a better choice than Brook, and there are not many other options. After the blam blam of the past four years though, maybe his dull leadership can help put Bazball back in its box, where it belongs.🙂

The final line in Christopher Nolan's epic telling of The Odyssey is: “A new dawn will break over the darkened world, when our mistakes will once again be forgotten.” Is this a powerful conclusion of man's inability to learn from his mistakes, or a clunky piece of spoon-fed shite? #theodyssey

Donald Trump imposing more tarrifs on trading partners, citing forced labour, when some of those partners have got the most stringent labour laws in the world (mainly the UK and EU) is the action of a deranged lunatic. Is there nothing the American people can do to rid the world of this plank?🙄

Facetious Maximus @facetious-maximus.bsky.social · 24/07/2026

I'm a northerner, and proud of it - grounded, unpretentious, self-deprecating, good sense of humour. British satirists need to up their game with what they're writing in the wake of Andy Burnham becoming Prime Minister though, because what they're coming up with currently is lazy and patronising.🙄

Facetious Maximus @facetious-maximus.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

I have a colleague, staunch Brexiter and Faragist, who also runs a small sideline selling comics online. He was complaining the other day its too complicated and expensive exporting his products to the EU. Not Brexit's fault though, it's the EU's fault, for imposing these rules. Unbelievable.🙄

Idiots calling for Thomas Tucal's sacking after England's World Cup exit need to look at it this way. Played 8, won 6, drew 1, lost 1, scored 20, conceded 12, finished third. Out of a tournament featuring 48 teams, that a good outcome and needs to be built on.🙂 #england #football #worldcup
