We could be a bit like "Have I Got News for You" ever since they sacked Angus Deayton.

Learned to play the guitar chords when it came out and realised it was a belter too!

Our Christmas #jigsaw of #Gibraltar gasworks c.1900 has kept us busy since Boxing Day, and has probably started a family tradition going forward, felt like finishing a marathon as we slotted the final piece in 🧩

This quote is from a @sethgodin.bsky.social email about LLMs, but it strikes me it has a much broader resonance in a fast-changing world: | 'Made up stories that we invent to deal with our fear often make it worse. They distract us from the hard work of understanding what’s actually happening.'

#Uber just sent me this out of the blue, no idea what it's about but seeing as it's from a 'no reply' email address, I'm going to take this opportunity to reply to them here instead... Go f___ yourselves! Thank you for your understanding, Uber.

Brings to mind this, sadly: "Arguing with idiots is like playing chess with a pigeon. No matter how good you are, the bird is going to shit on the board and strut around like it won anyway." - Shannon L. Alder

No matter who we're playing we don't seem to have a clue how to get the ball up the pitch. Someone's gonna poach it off you in the end if you just pass it around aimlessly for long enough. The rest of it of course was the usual calamities and weaknesses but for ffs...

I despaired when a Guardian article last week had a paragraph summarising what 'influencers' were saying on a scientific topic... I personally don't want to know what self-appointed experts think about something! Not judging, but I suddenly felt old reading the paper I've read all my life (I'm 55).

As a point of order, it is "expatriate" or "expat" for short, not "ex-patriate" or "ex-pat". I'll get my coat.

Thank you. You've put into my words what I feel she was trying to to say. I do not believe she is trying to establish a hierarchy here. I also believe she/we are getting into semantics with the words racism and prejudice - surely we can all see both are unacceptable?

Phil Morse @philmorse.bsky.social · 17/07/2025

If she's defending that, then fair enough. Teasing ginger people and rhe Holocaust clearly don't belong together.

Phil Morse @philmorse.bsky.social · 17/07/2025

I wonder if she'd agree with that interpretation of her words? To me (admittedly without further context) she's saying it's a different type of discrimination, primarily visual. I don't read this as her saying all racism isn't bad, I'd assume/hope that she doesn't believe that!

Diane Abbott: “There must be a difference between racism which is about colour and other types of racism because you can see a Traveller or a Jewish person walking down the street, you don’t know.“ Don't understand why she's not allowed to say this?

People think money has ruined football but the sight of a rapist dictator standing next to a corrupt football official in front of a big gold trophy at a competition bankrolled by Saudi Arabia reminds me the game still belongs to us.

I wouldn’t dare comment on Ireland without being Irish or at least living there and so we feel the same with people making their mind up about here without realising what life is like and what we’re living through. We are unique and too many people miss the nuances of our frankly crazy situation

Phil Morse @philmorse.bsky.social · 11/06/2025

It irks me to see outsiders calling Gibraltar a pawn in others’ arguments and then using it as a pawn in their own - and this is coming from someone who wasn’t even born here but just loves the place and its amazing people!

The sunset this evening across Spain from #Gibraltar, on a potentially momentous evening for the future of “The Rock” as political agreement is reached on a treaty to stabilise border, trade and other arrangements long-term after the 9 years of madness that Brexit imposed on the territory.

It’s what Gibraltarians decide that matters, not non-Gibraltarians with agendas. I just tend to ignore them tbh.

Enjoyed reading this, the way it warps the thinking of the clubs and therefore affects the kids coming through as well as noticeable

It's a highly persuasive bullshit merchant. I've stopped using it for things like this because it is a liar. It's like a partner who keeps cheating and telling you it's the last time. It's smoke and mirrors. I've made financial decisions based on its lies, only small things but you learn don't you?

My wife got sponsored by a random after the Sarah Milican gig on the bus down for a tenner if she would do an extra lap. She agreed, did 6 laps, was first lady to finish, and got on Radio Gibraltar too. Then went out and ran 50km today. You don’t try to understand people like that, you just ❤️ them 👏

You don’t think to check something you couldn’t believe would be true. Won’t make that mistake again.
