I'd forgotten just how much I was enjoying this gem from @robinince.bsky.social when some other book caught my eye and took over. Great to be back into it...

Still waiting for someone, anyone to recognise the #hmhb lyric. Christ that Sun's hot, etc...

Goodbye little #Honda, you've done me well these past 9 years. If only you still made them like that. Hello little #Mazda, like a new and improved version of my old Honda. Behave yourself and we will become good friends. 🚗🚗

Today's thought: Will Andy Burnham's by election gamble be as successful as David Cameron's referendum gamble.

Council election results for my area are in and... My 100% voting record is still intact. I have NEVER backed a winner in any public election or referendum.

"Most decorated" athlete... If we're going to adopt one grotesque American word, it really should be #winningest. We have nothing like it in English.

@profaliceroberts.bsky.social Really enjoyed your Worthing lecture yesterday. It really brought that part of the book to life. I've often wondered how Richard Dawkins feels about the hijack of his brilliant description of "memes" - not many know that it was his invented term.

Hmmm... Employer enrols me in yet another online anti-phishing training course. Then sends me an unexpected Amazon gift card a few days later. Is it a test?

Is it Americanisation (with an ess), or Americanization (with a zee)?

Firmly in my calendar. #GoodwoodRevival A full day of the sounds and smells of engines of yesteryear. And a load of period style, clothing, music.

Whenever I see an advert pop-up for Richard Daw... my brain fills in the gap, I read #RichardDawson and my heart races. Then I see it's mostly sold out and it's only #RichardDawkins.

Photographic evidence that you can see St Paul's Cathedral from Richmond Park. If the visibility is good and you have a telescope. Or good eyes.

For those who don't understand map projections and are amazed that some countries seem bigger than they really are (e.g. Greenland)... Study a globe or a #Dymaxion projection:

So that's the new #Lynley watched through. Both characters are softened compared with the books and with the Parker/Small castings of the previous adaptation. He's less posh, she's less untidy. Stories are still good. Worth a look.
