Can someone on Bluesky reassure me that I'm not the only person who can't see a bottle of sweet chilli sauce without breaking into Guns n Roses. (It's been a very long standing issue at home... And in supermarkets)

Best use of a Bluesky thread ever here by one of my local museums

Their reporting has been really good. My subscription just ended, I must renew that.

If someone made a browser extension that warned you when a retailer uses Evri I'd install that in a heartbeat.

It was very much like that

I just had a very unexpected innuendo laden encounter with a delivery guy after commenting on the unexpected size of the package he delivered 😲

Such a good book. I must reread it soon

My new favourite noise is the back and forth pecking between the two woodpeckers that have set up home in the trees outside my home office.

I think he licked too strong a battery

Language borrowed from the car crash that is Brexit. We're 9 years into the pain and even the lunatic euro-quitters seemed to have lowered the bar of 'the dream' to being slightly worse than we had before

Step 1 of these instructions to build a bench seems to be "1. build a bench"

Sorry Donald. We can't send you eggs. We're stockpiling them for your visit

I can't imagine there is any manual review though. I don't use Spotify, but I wonder if there is a formal reporting process. Considering podcasts are effectively UGC there probably should be.

Makes sense. "This company is backed by a corrupt president" will give investors confidence. Whether it lasts or not will depend on whether the stunt increases sales

I'm so disappointed that he didn't arrive in a horse and cart. A flatbed transit isn't the same

I'm currently waiting in for a rag'n'bone man to arrive. Apparently I'm now Dickensian.

It's that weird season in the UK where you walk down the street and pass two people in flip-flops and shorts followed immediately by one in a puffer jacket and a knitted beanie

Still in pain. Had a sneezing fit earlier and really didn't enjoy

Oh, the fun of being in your 50s. I somehow just managed to put my back out and send myself into writhing agony by operating a kitchen tap. If anyone wants me I'll be laying on the living room floor

Eww, that is so crass and disrespectful

Spoeark? Norwegian maybe

I've been staring at this for several minutes and I still can't think of anything to call them other than file paths

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

Does anyone else put fruit & veg on top of the food in the fridge to hide it from their ravenous teenage son?

People seemed to enjoy the beach photo I shared here the other day, so I thought I'd share another. This one is the beautiful West Wittering Beach, photographed on a warm sunny February walk with Mrs B last Monday. #photography #westwittering #coastal #teampixel #westsussex

I'm not American, but don't you guys have a 1st amendment protecting your right to protest?

I love photos that leave me with questions. Nice

Beautiful on our little stretch of beach today. Warm sun and soft breaking waves. All without the summer crowds #photography #mobilephotography #beach #hampshire

Any Bluesky geeks out there, or in fact anyone who wants to share an opinion. I'm getting back into photography, and thinking about using Bluesky for my photo sharing. Would it be best to use a separate dedicated account for this, or my main one? Anyone have opinions either way?

May you all be blessed with the confidence of the total stranger just addressed me as Peter and continued to do so after I had told him I wasn't Peter for the third time

It's the first week of march and I'm mowing the lawn in a t-shirt. I'm going to try not to ponder the long term implications of this whilst just enjoying some welcome sun and warmth

Preferably half decent ones that aren't as loud outside as inside

Is it something in the region of an Americano but less bitter, less salty?

Episode 7 of Paradise just went surprisingly hard for a show I thought was going to be streaming filler. Well worth a watch

That's absolute free speech apparently

I love that my eldest inherited my awesome taste in music and we get to do things like this together. Jack White has been a dream gig for me for a while, and it was absolutely worth waiting for

This is the correct way to refer to it. All of the "heated exchange" and "shouting match" talk ignores how one sided it was

Mat Bennett @matbennett.com · 01/03/2025

It should definitely be legal to eject people from moving trains when they play music on loud speaker

Oh, happy birthday. Just a day later (2 days every 4th year!) have a lovely weekend

I had a birthday beach walk yesterday along the beautiful beaches of West Witterings and East Head. It was so nice to be out in the sunshine, walking without bedding a coat. Spring is coming

Tranquil scene. Lone market post at low tide. Minimalism

It was really hard to watch. Just nasty. Zero empathy and very little more in the way of comprehension. It was really shocking. I had to turn it off.
