Roger W Turner @rogerwturner.8wa.uk · 09/09/2026I bought a Finnish 'phone in 1999 for about €1000. 010
Roger W Turner @rogerwturner.8wa.uk · 04/09/2026I'm old (since 2024), Green (since 1984) and in England (since 1949). I started voting by post as a protest against Voter ID. I like voting early because I now have a badge: 000
Roger W Turner @rogerwturner.8wa.uk · 24/08/2026Being (most unfortunately) English, I had to look her up. Traditional my arse. I was 48 when Mrs Tilly started. Don't forget to eat traditional NZ Ginger Crunch when you're there. 000
Roger W Turner @rogerwturner.8wa.uk · 23/08/2026Great. It's confirmed that I'll love my Round 2. When it arrives. [… continues to wait patiently] 000
Roger W Turner @rogerwturner.8wa.uk · 21/08/2026Nor can you bring it to our attention as the anonymous perpetrator. 010
Roger W Turner @rogerwturner.8wa.uk · 15/08/2026Totally, totally agree with you. Totally. But. Even the dear old Manchester Grauniad is nowadays "slightly evil" rather than "decent, proportionate" far too often. "But we have to follow market demand at least to some extent" I imagine. [Repeat 1st line above] 000
Roger W Turner @rogerwturner.8wa.uk · 13/08/2026Non-music libraries need to adopt something like RISM's sigla. So D-Mbs. 000
Roger W Turner @rogerwturner.8wa.uk · 13/08/2026Surely only if they're doing so while wrapped in a tent? 000
Roger W Turner @rogerwturner.8wa.uk · 10/08/2026Civil Servants need to be able to switch these styles as appropriate. Some documents for benefit claimants (for example) need both, in different places. It's a good exercise in general writing ability. 000
Roger W Turner @rogerwturner.8wa.uk · 08/08/2026"Reading about …”, rather than watching or listening. That's what I do too. But a lot of your output is no longer readable. No more newsletters. Just video and podcasts. Which I don't do. 040
Roger W Turner @rogerwturner.8wa.uk · 08/08/2026So the 1950s coinage "massteria" becomes Xmassteria". 020
Roger W Turner @rogerwturner.8wa.uk · 07/08/2026One of my favourite literary lines is: "Very flat, Norfolk." 110
Roger W Turner @rogerwturner.8wa.uk · 07/08/2026Some of the nerds following ballotbox.scot aren't so little. (I don't mean myself!)ballotbox.scotHomeMost Recent Article By-Elections 000
Roger W Turner @rogerwturner.8wa.uk · 07/08/2026Well, my very important view on this is that … (continued on page 94) 000
Roger W Turner @rogerwturner.8wa.uk · 07/08/2026The hardware goblins are a little different. When they bite you hard enough to draw blood you absolutely mustn't give up. 010
Roger W Turner @rogerwturner.8wa.uk · 07/08/2026Merely corroborative detail, intended to give artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative. 010
Roger W Turner @rogerwturner.8wa.uk · 07/08/2026I don't use TikTok but I did see it happen in real life in a Manchester suburb a couple of months ago. 100
Roger W Turner @rogerwturner.8wa.uk · 06/08/2026How on earth can you say 'lazy' given all the activity you report on publicly? 000
Roger W Turner @rogerwturner.8wa.uk · 29/07/2026Article XXIV: Of speaking in the congregation in such a tongue as the people understandeth 020
Roger W Turner @rogerwturner.8wa.uk · 27/07/2026Have you read any of Bernard Levin's newspaper articles? Famously magnificent sentence length. Only for those who can cope with long, nested parentheses. 000
Roger W Turner @rogerwturner.8wa.uk · 27/07/2026I'd perhaps go for compulsory registration first. But the idea & argument are great. Thank you (as almost always). 011
Roger W Turner @rogerwturner.8wa.uk · 27/07/2026I believe it can help comprehension. As does your line-breaking. I've taken to doing the same. 000
Roger W Turner @rogerwturner.8wa.uk · 26/07/2026My experience only goes back to 1995 (I regarded myself as a latecomer). For me it's always been both essential and a chore. Marie wrote 'Escape' about it. Cory D wrote 'Enshittification'. 020
Roger W Turner @rogerwturner.8wa.uk · 25/07/2026The twins should write up their 'View from the Youth' for the family blog in due course. Pocket Money! 050
Roger W Turner @rogerwturner.8wa.uk · 24/07/2026Pretty please (again). Write for the family blog. On what is wrong with our approach to tax design and reform. 000
Roger W Turner @rogerwturner.8wa.uk · 23/07/2026And Alan tries to change colour when he reprints a title. 100
Roger W Turner @rogerwturner.8wa.uk · 22/07/2026A supposedly Labour agenda doesn't work if it includes anybody connected to the extreme-right labour infiltration known as "Labour Together". 000
Roger W Turner @rogerwturner.8wa.uk · 21/07/2026I'm in Manchester and about to vote for Mayor. Would have been 1st Green, 2nd Labour. Won:t be voting still-nazi-labour after yesterday. 001
Roger W Turner @rogerwturner.8wa.uk · 17/07/2026Nah! I blame her for showing me the real thing. 1945, up from 1939. 130
Roger W Turner @rogerwturner.8wa.uk · 17/07/2026Yes she is. She quite deliberately had a nazi publicity photoshoot. 430
Roger W Turner @rogerwturner.8wa.uk · 17/07/2026I joined the internally self-described Department of Enjoyment and Promiscuity. Oh for (or ode to) the white-hot heat of the technological revolution. 000
Roger W Turner @rogerwturner.8wa.uk · 17/07/2026It's fun watching it. I keep setting notifications 10 points lower. 050
Roger W Turner @rogerwturner.8wa.uk · 17/07/2026Labour accepts (neo-)nazis. We currently have an openly nazi home secretary. 550
Roger W Turner @rogerwturner.8wa.uk · 17/07/2026Which is why I'll delay casting my postal vote in Manchester. Ex openly nazi home secretary = no labour vote. 010
