I don’t know about anyone else, but I think that Olympic Curling could be improved by integration with Dale Winton’s “Hole in the Wall" game show.

Just signing the North Cascades over to Canada. No one has done anything about it ever before, but I just did. They said it couldn’t be done, but it can. They say it’s worth Trillions of dollars…can you believe that?

My laptop "cannot be upgraded"-I don’t use it much so will just backup data & update the protection suite. I suppose Microsoft will fix all the problems, but I do think that they should be compelled to keep updates going on systems were there are significance numbers of users.

Remember…Win 10 was going to be the last version released…perhaps they should have just stuck to that…also 365…who on earth thought that was a good idea? I still have some 3.1 floppies somewhere so I think I might boot up my old 286…happy days.

At what point should this not be considered Treason? Nathan Gill colludes with a foreign power to cause the country harm whilst sitting in EU parliament for Reform. Some might wonder what they are for reforming. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c8...

I popped over to Twitter to have a look…wish I hadn’t. A few lone soldiers carrying on in attempt to provide some balance, but it is not Twitter anymore…x is a more appropriate name for Elon’s apparatus of hate and violence.

Some, previous unpublished I believe, photos of Genesis, that I have in my collection of 35mm negatives. They are not dated. Possibly 1981/82? Any ideas @almurray.bsky.social @genesisnews.bsky.social ? For what it’s worth, I retain commercial rights, but feel free to have for personal enjoyment.

Thought for the day. Given the current situation over the pond, I am wondering if we should rename the United States of America to the State of America?

Which is a great plan until you find out that agricultural vehicles are exempt. However, that does make you want to go and buy a tractor.

Scientists may be telling us "not to worry", but a 1:43 chance of asteroid YR4 hitting us!!! Don’t they watch the movies??? 🪨🌎💥 By the way, I have just bought all the toilet paper in town. DM me if you want some. www.space.com/asteroid-202...

Odds of an asteroid impact in 2032 just went up. Here's why experts say you shouldn't worry
"We are still at 97.7% chance of a miss from this asteroid."

I think we need more Poutine in the UK. This is one I rustled up in 2020 following the cancellation of a holiday in Canada. It really is rather nice, but cheese curds are not readily available and so it is a rare treat. I wonder if Tim Hortons could add it to their menu?

If you purchase the Greggs’ frozen range from Iceland, you can heat them to such a point that 3rd° burns are a certainty. Just 29 minutes in an air fryer.

If Trump thinks that Denmark has no legal claim to Greenland, does that mean the British can take America back? #makeamericabritishagain We could then be nice and neighbourly to our Canadian cousins.

Wrapping books is nice & easy. Luckily, mum has asked for mostly books this Christmas! Trying to paper match wherever possible. @katemossewriter.bsky.social , easy; @peterjamesauthor.bsky.social, less so. Christmas jumpers upsets the red and gold theme. 🤔 Seasonal greetings to one and all. 🎄

Bread with no butter anyone? #moistgate Who would have thought that something as simple as moist bread would be enough to keep a Conservative leader at bay. I wonder if Kemi would be interested in buying my new bread drying device as seen on Dragon’s Den…Bargain at £50 or £90 for two?

X has 1.3m ratings on the Apple store, so not beyond realms of possibility that a concerted effort by those who usually do not review apps could significantly impact this by promoting the truth. Chapeau.

Perhaps the Government could implement measures to limit the powers & manage the behaviours of parking firms. Parking needs to be managed, but can be so done in a more civilised way. Perhaps a truly independent body to process appeals would be a start, funded by a levy on the companies

Over in the haterverse, more misinformation. Rather than checking facts, happy to use interpretation by The European Conservative & oblivious that the guidance was 1st published in 2015 & last updated in March 24. Clarkson then regurgitates and seems to be Elmo’s parrot.
