Fox's are delicious but they come in massive packages then you open them and realise it's like 7 or 8 cookies.

He walked past my building when I was collecting a McDonald's breakfast a few years ago during the Labour conference. Alas, I didn't order a milkshake.

They've laid it flat. So, the only way to see it is like this. Ridiculous.
A man leaning over the Bayeux Tapestry on display in London. The Tapestry is laid flat.

Was interviewed by a US journalist today who asked if we were all panicking about terrorists at Fairford, which ended with me trying to explain dogging.

Liberty is (shockingly) a real university. So I guess that one? To us outside the US it looks like an American Madrasah. That and BYU. Just... wow.

Over here Sam Fender and Olivia Dean were at No 1 for 23 weeks beating Wet Wet Wet's Love is All Around from Four Weddings and Bryan Adams Everything I Do from Robin Hood. I knew the song. Sang it at an open mic even. Had no idea it was a record breaking no 1.

Went for a little walk while it's not raining and spotted 2 MPs already. Darren Jones and Anneliese Dodds (I think). Lots of suits and lanyards walking about. #LabourConference

Mark Allerton @markaallerton.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
Oh I might have heard that a while ago. Interesting. One of my old Observers who later became CO of the Squadron was made a Defence Attache in DC last I heard. Wonder if she is doing sneaky stuff, or just going to cocktail parties?

Speaking of grim spy adaptations. Saw The Spy Who Came in From The Cold starring Ralf Little (yes that one) in May. Was great.

Just to make the point, I don’t think Shabana Mahmood is appeasing the far right because she thinks it’s electorally sensible. She’s doing so because she believes what they believe.

We've gone from people going "I'm not racist, but..." to "yeah, lol, actually I am racist as fuck, and quite proud of that fact too"

I managed to be looking at the Casio website for the 5 minutes when this was back in stock. I had no idea it was sought after. Goes for 2 or 3 times the retail on eBay and watch sites. Insane. Used my 20% Military Discount too!

You’ll notice that as ever, the annoying dirty hippies called the War On Terror correctly and all the smart, Sensible important people dived into it with both hands giving everyone the finger and screaming insults, and now it’s just another One Of Those Weird Things That Happened.

Turns out that if you are an old lady with a banner supporting Palestine, the government arrests you on charges of terrorism. If you are a masked white male thug bringing a national port to a standstill, the government does absolutely nothing, and the media covers it like some lads on a day out.
