Why was I not aware that The Reluctant Vampire is based on a book by Eric Morecambe?

Wait till you hear what he did to his headmaster.

Indeed. As he used to say "Sacrifice never killed the cat."

Wiped that smug look right off his space it did. Stick around for more Dad related tales coming soon.

One morning Dad had reached breaking point. In a flash of inspiration he arose early and bought two copies of the paper. He solved the crossword in one then caught the train. He opened his paper and in front of captain smug he simply filled in the blank grid in a matter of seconds.

As a young man my Dad used to get the same train from Kettering to London every day he'd buy a paper to do the cryptic crossword. Sn older man would sit across from Dad and do the same crossword and would always finish it in half the time and look smug all the way to London. What a dick.

It's shocking. Alcohol and gambling adverts should be banned completely. I can't believe the big gambling companies are allowed to offer free bets to entice you in.

There one about a lady who stretched wire over her vagina. I'll find it later. Could be your next song

Today I found out that science fiction giant and creator of the three laws of robotics Isaac Asimov once wrote a book of jokes and limericks.

I recently had to send a form to the DVLA about dizzy spells and stuff. The form is a DIZ1.

I tried that civet coffee. Tastes like shit.

I've just eaten this Burrata. It's a cheese made from mozzarella mixed with cream just to make it slightly healthier.

That's the best I've come up with too. Unexpected visit from the council you'll make do with whatever you can find.

I have no idea what purpose is served by the inclination of this ladder in my apartment in Italy.

I just think that risking your life at a moment's notice to save people you've never met in exchange for no money is a better expression of patriotism than dressing up like a Poundshop paramilitary and intimidating families with kids trying to get onto a ferry.

I had one of my drunkest sessions ever there. I started a hashtag #buyahippyapint and loads of people did.

It's Sunday morning and I'm waiting for a friend to pick me up so we can move 6 of his motorcycles from his garage to his newly extended lounge.

Today I reached a massive milestone in my sprint to my pension. Instead of falling over I "had a fall"

If I'd had a son he would have been called Hunter after the kid in Paris Texas.

Hi Folks. Simple question but so am I. If one found the need to insert a new blank row every second row in Google Sheets how would one do so?

You could say I was caught littering

Had to do a stool sample this morning. Apparently it's NOT acceptable to do this in the kitchen.

Look. In your face Time Team. That there is a rusty parapet. Smashing. The search for the mystery object will soon continue. I have a feeling it may have been a tippler. Here ends my Ted Talk.

Jon @hippyjon.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

Not one to let the fact that something no longer exists stop me from looking for it I set off again. I knew roughly where the bridge once was so off into the bushes for a look. BINGO! The last time I was so excited about a bit of rusty metal was when I got the coaster brake to work on my huffy.

Mr Tonks comes up with the goods. This carried trains under the bridleway and on to the mainline loading area. Mr Tonks also informed me it had been backfilled along with the cutting.

Jon @hippyjon.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

I'm researching this little area. This is about where our walks used to stop and turn back. If you take a look at where the line coming in from the west meets the bridleway there is a bridge symbol. Hmm. I love me a bridge.

Jon @hippyjon.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

I've decided to leave the mystery object for now. I've been playing around on the fabulous NLS side by side maps and reading the famous works of Eric Tonks, the leading documenter of all things ironstone.

I've been up and down that track so many times trying to find an industrial site of some sort that we used to visit. The fact that I have no idea what it was probably isn't helping.
