That's stealing sausages, surely. Smuggling would be sneaking sausages IN to the supermarket.

Let's not rush to judgement until we find out if my Mum's won the lottery.

Yes, the Fish solo stuff I've heard is much more recognisable as songs that someone could get up and play with just an accoustic guitar or piano.

I've tired listening to that free mp3 taster album they sent me a few times and ... there is nothing on it that I could describe as 'catchy'.

Yeah. Some really nice lines but. for some reason, Marillion are a band I struggle to get into. Sugar Mice is great, but the more recent stuff, to me, is a bit like film music. Really atmospheric and I can appreciate that 'musically' it's very accomlished ... but it just doesn't stick in my head.

This is a good recent song - it's Iggy singing to to Bowie. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9k-R...

I loved The Commotions, and a lot of his solo stuff is also very good.

Was about to say the same about the Lloyd Cole song. And Simone de Beauvoir died 40 years ago. I just hope that Jodi who wears a hat although it hasn't rained for 6 days is okay.

Is it bad that I hate AI but still quite fancy Tilly Noorwood? This must be what it feels like for a racist to see a Rihanna video.

I can't help feeling a bit of respect for Jeffery Archer doing those big interviews about the release of his 'final' book - then dying a few hours later while writing the next one. True to form to the last.

Wife has bought this. For cleaning shoes, apparently 🤔

Sean Carpenter @seancarpenter.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
That's not hers, but it's on YouTube so she would be able to make it. I don't know what I want for Christmas, so she's just going to crochet me a £50 note.

Sean Carpenter @seancarpenter.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
Basically the rule is, if she can find a video of someone making it on YouTube, then she can make it. So she probably can ...

Sean Carpenter @seancarpenter.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
Yes. And my daughter has already started crocheting all her Christmas presents.

We have 6 of those jars, each with a different shape of pasta. In a cupboard, though. They are not out on display like I'm George Osbourne hosting a cookery program.

It's the first time there has not been a single one of them I would recognise from a photo. Yet they still haven't asked Ed Davey.

Sean Carpenter @seancarpenter.bsky.social · 19/09/2026
I recognise the names, if not the faces, of two of them. Celebrity Traitors on the other hand, I recognise the majority of them, so it can be done.

And you've had bases there since 1951. It's amazing how much one man has undermined trust in the American government.

Sean Carpenter @seancarpenter.bsky.social · 19/09/2026
Yeah, nothing has really changed, but a lot of your compatriots are going to see the headlines, just before the midterms, and believe he has achieved something. Good luck with that!

Sean Carpenter @seancarpenter.bsky.social · 19/09/2026
To make him go away, they seem to have offered him the status quo - Greenland remains Danish territory but the US can have bases there - while allowing him to pretend it's a victory. The 'deal' seem to be keeping things as they have been for the last 75 years.

They deliberately wanted to write her a hit, so that was their most poppy song. I have a vague memory of it being inspired by Billie Piper's Honey to the Bee. This was more typical of their oeuvre ... www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxRm...

She was the best friend of Annie who I did the Scandinavian ferries with. Not at all like her quite scary stage persona. I remember them doing The Facts of Life on TOTP.

That deported Nazi bloke does have the look of a young Prince William turning into a werewolf.

Plant a piece of ginger, then 5 months later you'll have grown a piece pf ginger that's about the same size as the one you buried in the first place.

I literally photographed this at an airport WH Smiths yesterday because I couldn't quite believe it. £1 in Asda.

Didn't he live in Quinton as a child? I know he went to a primary school that's 10 minutes walk from my house.

There doesn't even seem to be a centre-right in British politics at the moment. As far as parties go, there is a empty space between the centre-left and what used to be the most hard right fringe of the Tory party. There is no party that Major, Patten or Hesseltine could stand for.

I'm also sceptical about that Downing Street cat account.

'I leave with a smile ...' I was really hoping that Starmer was going to go into 'Always Look on the Bright Side of Life' there, with the Downing Street staff behind him joining in with the chorus and doing high kicks. People would have liked him then.

Trent Reznor does not succeed in breaking the world record for the longest ever sausage - Nine Inch Fails Then buys a gay porn magazine - Nine Inch Males And smuggles it into an innapropriately small prison ... Finally someone has invented the world's easiest joke format!

Trent Reznor makes a tiny little model of Aberystwyth and surrounding area ... Am I doing this right?

My 16 year old just saw My Chemical Romance and the support act was Joan Jett. Date wise, this is the equivalent of 16 y/o me seeing The Kinks supported by George Formby!

Now that Nicholas Parsons and Richard Whitely are dead, they are the only two keeping that look alive.

They definitely have a similar Freeman's catalogue style vibe.

Why is he wearing brown paper trousers? Also funny that the post you are quoting is by 'Parker' when Farage looks like a Thunderbird puppet.

I have never annoyed somebody so much they set up an Amnesty International proscribed hate group. I will have to make more effort in future.
