How awful to find out I share my birthday with Vlad the Impaler* as well as @simonpegg.bsky.social ! But at least there’s still Thom Yorke and @lukehaines.bsky.social to balance out the evil. And HB to @jaykayell.bsky.social too 🎂 *ikyk who I mean

Just witnessed awful shouty easyJet man shaming a dual citizen for not using his 🇬🇧 passport for his flight to LGW. Apparently he’d used his French one & didn’t realise he needed a visa to enter 🇬🇧. He was banned from boarding and the guy was really rude shouting loudly he wasn’t allowed to board! /1

Finally got around to watching @hotgpod.bsky.social first episode of the Reformation series. Really like the video format with the illustrations! The only drawback is finding the time to watch the video rather than listen. Did it whilst washing up 😅

Finally got an answer from my bank regarding the charges for my EasyJet flights. Bc 🇬🇧 isn’t in the EEA anymore thanks to Brexit, we now pay a fee bc EJ are 🇬🇧 company! 🤬 Hey @andyburnham.bsky.social get the uk back in the EEA asap can’t you?! Honestly, ripped off left, right and centre!

Trying to turn Siri off to not put my phone into flight mode which isn’t working. Here’s a good idea: hey Apple, why not make each Siri ONLY respond to its owners voice rather than anyone at all ?? That was any thieves can’t activate it?!

@jesusjonesband.bsky.social hey Iain. Are you guys making the album available to buy via Bandsintown? Not sure I’ll be able to find it here in 🇩🇪. Either that, or could I get a copy at Shiiine in Nov please? Ta!

Btw, does anyone else get charged a transaction fee from their bank when booking flights with easyJet? I book in euros (of course!) but I’m still getting a conversion/transaction fee. I’ve asked my bank why this is as it doesn’t make sense. I’m sure this is new within the last year or so.

Glad my father‘s „always be early for transport/appointments“ rule pays off. Got to the station to find my train was cancelled. No notification if they’d arranged an SEV, & I just had time to get to the market place for the normal bus! I know I shld check b4 leaving the house, but always forget 🤦‍♀️

What’s with the chancers on Twickets? I’ve been trying to sell my Saturday ticket for Gene in London for 3 months now. It’s listed at facevalue (£45) and latest offers have been between £15-25! It’s a sold out show ffs!! Twickets face value is less than I paid too.

I’m having my late BiL’s old Lenovo laptop. It’s taken 24 hours just to reset it and start to download the updates. ALL day, abs the last update has been sitting at 25% for an hour 😑 ! Will it ever finish?

Journey from hell. Left home at 16:30 and arrived at LGW 00:30 BST. 2 ¾ hours late. just missed the train which only runs hourly (24 hour city London? Really?!). If I miss the bus at the next station I’ll have to take a cab. Been awake since 06:15, so running on empty now 😣

My brother-in-law died this evening 😢 I’m heartbroken for my sister, they’d been together 26 years. How cruel for the same thing to happen to her as what happened to me? I fly over tomorrow to be with her. If you’ve anything that could bring a smile to my face, please send it on.

I can’t stress how important it is that people (especially men!!) get checked out for the slightest thing. My BiL has ignored signs and it’s going to cost him his life. Him and my sis have been together 26 years. She’s understandably in bits and can’t imagine her life without him 😢

Last night I finally got to see Threads (thanks @jewelthin.bsky.social !)… my god that is bleak and brutal AF! We studied Z for Zachariah in school EngLit (2nd year High?) but don’t remember being shown any similarly-themed films like Threads. Probably just as well since it’s traumatising !

How can the 🇩🇪 govt say “man braucht x € womit zu leben” w/ Burgergeld, but then refuse to pay ALL the rent for recipients in expensive areas? My friend loses 225€/month! That’s almost HALF her Burgergeld gone! It’s pushing ppl into poverty w/ no options to find cheaper accommodation 😡🤬 #FuckCDU /1

Feeling irritated I had to defend hospitals clarifying what a persons birth sex was and if a male patient could possibly be pregnant. It’s only “f’in weird” (their words) if you are anti-trans or unaccepting of at what stage of life someone chooses to transition 😡

It’s fitting to wear my Pulp T-shirt to see OMD bc the friend who properly got me into OMD I knew through the Pulp Fanclub. He’d also chosen OMD over Pulp in 1981 as the band to love/follow. I found out he died 20 years ago, v sad as we lost touch early 2000s. I wear the shirt in his memory today 💜

Why on earth did i think it was a good idea to cycle home today in 34c ? You can see from how I slowed down how exhausting it was! The route has barely any shade. I put suncream on before I left, but still feel like I’ve gotten burned 🥵 Lesson learned!

Someone got offended at my profile picture with the sticker „NaziFreiZone“ on an organisational Meetup app I’m using. The mods had never removed it but apparently it’s part of the T&C to not have political content 🙊 However, why should that offend you, if you’re not of that persuasion? 🤔

It’s the 88th anniversary today of this immensely enjoyable headline 🧵

12 boys rout fascists
Twelve boys, some of them less than 10 years old, went to Weymouth beach and barracked Mr Robert Saunders, a Fascist speaker.
He ignored them, so they went away and returned with toffee tins half filled with stones.
Using the tins as rattles, they made so much noise that Mr Arthur England, a 63-year-old Weymouth magistrate and superintendent of the beach, approached to stop them.
A crowd of holiday-makers, sympathising with the children, booed Mr England and a sock filled with sand caught him behind the ear.
In the sand battle that followed, the Fascists were pelted off the beach.
About 5,000 people followed them to their car, overturned the trailer attached it, and filled the loud speaker equipment with sand.

⬇️ Me 10 minutes ago. Went to go run an errand & couldn’t open the garage door. Assumed battery was dead so walked to the supermarket to get another. When that didn’t work, I then remembered “oh! I cut thru the extension lead earlier” … fuse had tripped & had forgot to check that first

I know in 4 months we‘ll all be complaining about the cold, but I wish this bastard heat would F off. My outside boiler temp says it’s 43c ! #ThisIsNotNormal if I wanted 30+ temps I’d go to the med. However, this, and extreme cold winters are gonna be the norm 😢

After a lazy wknd, I felt I had to overcompensate in exercise. So I cycled home from work via the opticians in the town to the SE of me, adding ⅓ onto the journey. The arm of my glasses broke this AM, and need completely replacing 🙄 lucky i have my old pair or I’d be wearing 🕶️ for the next week!

Who here has heard of #Roost and/or wants to connect? I’ve not quite figured out what it’s about yet, other than potentially making new connections based on your interests and that messages are sent in real time based on the bird you’ve chosen (how long it takes for it to fly) 🦅

We’ve had to ask for a room change at our hotel because next door’s family are sick and were coughing all night waking my friend up. 70’s built hotel, so no sound proofing. At 120€/night (booked 2-3 months in advance) it’s pretty poor. However, nice surroundings! #Slovakia #TatryMountains #Travel
