repost with an image of your favourite James Bond (wrong answers only)

It’s Jack from On the Buses in his clippy uniform, played by Bob Grant.

And another. #booze

Brown bottle of Hofbrau Oktoberfestbier next to a glass full of said lager (half of which is head) on my kitchen top.

A lovely drop from Kwoff in Bury. (I’m not sure they’re on Bsky.) #booze

Brown bottle of Flotzinger Spezial Hell alongside glass full of said lager on my kitchen top. In the background is a bread bin, kitchen roll in a vertical holder, and a Warbies 50/50 loaf.

Morning!

A burnt electric kettle in a kitchen sink. The base of the kettle is partially melted.

How doth the hero strong and brave, a celestial path in the heavens pave.

Partial eclipse of sun this evening. Exposure dialled right down to reveal the crescent Sun against a black sky.

Thanks for the link to the blog on Borth. Stayed there with the family for a few days around the time Covid-19 restrictions ended. The view from Victoria Inn’s beer garden was lovely, made better with the respite of a sleeping toddler. There were plenty of Aston Villa jerseys donned.

Hey Claude. My daughter loved the bike we bought for her birthday, but I can’t be arsed writing a 5-star review on Smyths’ website. Can you draft something in my natural tone of voice and post it for me? Ta.

My pink bike
The 18-inch pink child's bike is a striking embodiment of whimsy and practicality, seamlessly merging aesthetic charm with youthful functionality. Its vibrant pink frame, gleaming like a precious jewel under the sun, captures the spirit of childhood with a splash of bold, unapologetic color. The bike's design is a delightful tapestry of playful elements: the curvaceous handlebars.

The attention to detail extends to the bike's construction, where each component is thoughtfully crafted to ensure both durability and safety. The sturdy frame promises resilience, while the smooth, reliable tires offer a ride that's as smooth as a cloud. This bike is not merely a means of transportation but a canvas of dreams, inviting young riders to embark on adventures both grand and intimate, fostering a love for exploration and independence.

In essence, this 18-inch pink bike is more than a child's first foray into cycling; it is a vivid celebration of the joy and freedom of youth, rendered with a sense of grace and artistry that transforms every ride into a miniature escapade.

Here’s looking forward to ‘Concrete Society Award’.

They are still a thing in Salford. You can apply to the Council to turn your street into a play street, and there are several that remain in Seedley. Whether the laws are adhered to in the age of maps apps is another matter.
