Othergates, @plashingvole.bsky.social may be interested to know I was very much not the only girl at the HMHB gig, though I will admit that that was the only time in the whole day I didn't have to queue for the loo.

He also "corrected" my pronunciation of casuistry as"casuistry" so clearly not a serious person in the slightest 🤣

Big day today. Dash to London to see the Bayeux Tapestry, then dash back to Oxford to see Half Man Half Biscuit. Praying the transport gods are kind...😬

The BBC being absolutely on the button. Their Cyber correspondent had never even heard of php before? Really??? 🤦‍♀️ www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/ckgel5xp2xv… #php

screenshot of the story linked in post showing a section saying:
Cyber correspondent Joe Tidy says he didn't know PHP existed until yesterday morning - it's "one of these things we take for granted", he says.

Slow handclap for Evri, who didn't give me the option to change a delivery time to when I was actually in, and left a giant box of bog roll out the back in the pouring rain all day. By some miracle, the contents were not yet wet when we got home 😮‍💨

Me: ugh, modern landmark architecture is just rich people showing off how much money they have. What happened to restrained displays of class and taste? 18th Century Scotland: PINEAPPLES!!!

The Dunmore House Pineapple. It’s a Georgian building that looks like, well, a pineapple. It was made in 1761 when pineapples were some of the most fashionable objects on the planet, and, honestly, there isn’t much more to it than that.

I've been to two "TG Jones" shops this last week. Both have a random stand of cheap cookery equipment in them now, and I can't help feeling this is the desperate harbinger of the total collapse of the chain. Thanks, PE ghouls!

A white mug with blue handle and writing. It reads "Gwlân, Gwlân! Pleidiol wyf i'm Gwlân!" and a drawing of a ball of wool with the tail forming a heart shape. This is a play on the words of the Welsh national anthem, "Gwlad, Gwlad! Pleidiol wyf i'm Gwlad" which translates as "Land! Land! I am true to my land". Gwlad means Land or country. Whereas Gwlân means Wool.

Having taken a close look at this, I rather wish I hadn't. Why bother creating this when there's so much proper art to display?

A whisky advert which looks to be generated by an LLM, with various spelling mistakes ("...whic in heartier toats...") and bizarre gibberish characters.
