Sharing #my9albums www.my9albums.com/s/XsGBZnV4CM Having 20 years of last.fm scrobbled data really helps! Actually I could do with "my 90 albums", and even then I'd struggle to narrow it down...

9 album covers:
Robert - Princesse de Rien
Human League - Reproduction
Kraftwerk - Computer World
Kate Bush - The kick inside
Jean Michelle Jarre - Oxygene
Philip Glass - Koyaanisqatsi
Philip Glass - Etudes 1-10

It's so unfair that the Environment Agency hampers the profiteering - sorry, I meant "work" - of poor little water companies for the trivial matter of polluting rivers, beaches and waterways. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... The Tories will scrap the Environment Agency. Who needs healthy beaches, eh?

I am delighted that James Cleverly has decided to stand as a London Mayoral candidate. I listened to an interview with him this morning on BBC Radio 4. The man's a complete buffoon. His pitch is, apparently, more cars and more pollution. A sure fire strategy if ever I heard one.

For those with short memories, we said the same kind of thing during the Reagan era and through Bushes Snr and Jnr, and Trump's 1st term. What on earth makes you think America is suddenly going to radically change the direction it's been going in for decades? Relying on hope won't make it happen.

OK, I haven't read *all* the The Archers' messages. But of the few I have read they fail to point out that Harrison is old enough to be Lilly's dad. Have I fallen through a wormhole in space (AKA the Archers script writers' universe) or is that now no longer worthy of a raised eyebrow? #ambridge

"Bin face is backed by the three biggest parties in Britain, historically." - Nigel Farage. What arrant nonsense! I hope that quote follows him around forever. (quote taken from the clip on GB News of him being interviewed www.facebook.com/reel/1080673... ) #Clacton @countbinface.bsky.social

The real reason Farage was absent was much more likely to be on account of him being stuck in a catering truck. Have they checked? He could be missing for years, he said hopefully.

So, there's a "credible threat" to Air Force One causing Trump to run and hide - sorry, I meant to say "bravely climb into a catering truck" - but he still let all the journalists fly on Air Force One anyway. What an absolute shit he is 😡 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
