Steve (unofficial) @ste.eurosky.social · 36mBurnham is clever. He knows he has to draw in as many people as he can, so on things like Brexit he has to simplify and maybe slighly distort certain things to get less-informed people onboard. Don't get worked up on the intricacies of stuff he says, as long as we're heading in the right direction. 230

Steve (unofficial) @ste.eurosky.social · 19hJust got my new specs. Expensive compared to what I usually spend, but I went for the thinnest lightest lenses, and they’re ridiculously good. And I used my local independent optician, so I’ve supported a local business, and despite being expensive, they’d have been much more at one of the chains. 160
Steve (unofficial) @ste.eurosky.social · 29/09/2026Hmm. I had redeemed a free 12 months @getskyscraper.com but it seems to have disappeared. Having said that, the non-pro version still does just about all the stuff I really want that’s missing from the main Bluesky app. 100
Steve (unofficial) @ste.eurosky.social · 29/09/2026Thing with this Fairford stuff is that yes they were British, but until their ethnicity is released, it's still a potential for weaponisation by the right. 110
Steve (unofficial) @ste.eurosky.social · 29/09/2026Be funny if it was American airmen nicking diesel to ship back to the States. 020
Steve (unofficial) @ste.eurosky.social · 29/09/2026I live in a secluded cul-de-sac. Last night, genuinely, there were two white vans parked up with their doors open (I assume they were organising deliveries for the next morning). It's less than 700m from an airport which has been known to refuel military helicopters. 000
Steve (unofficial) @ste.eurosky.social · 29/09/2026Question. Are protestors being arrested for opposing genocide, or are the being arrested for actively supporting the banned organisation 'Palestine Action' - because there's a clear difference. 000
Steve (unofficial) @ste.eurosky.social · 29/09/2026I went to the pharmacy to get a proscription, and now I'm banned from buying ibuprofen. 130
Steve (unofficial) @ste.eurosky.social · 29/09/2026If Nigel Farage pre-recorded a set of clips for various situations blaming migrants, ethnic monorities or the government, he could then have more time for constutuentcy work in Clacton. 140
Steve (unofficial) @ste.eurosky.social · 29/09/2026Home Bargains haven't had any Bombay Mix in stock for a couple of weeks. Multiple stores. My stockpile has run out. I'm getting worried. 230
Steve (unofficial) @ste.eurosky.social · 29/09/2026If we're not a reliable ally, why the fuck are your military bases still here? 000
Steve (unofficial) @ste.eurosky.social · 29/09/2026Somebody please tell Lucy Powell that comparing massive pension reform to implementing changes to Manchester’s buses is really not a good analogy. 040

Steve (unofficial) @ste.eurosky.social · 28/09/2026It's September Weekend. Apparently it's a Scottish regional thing. I've never heard of it. 010
Steve (unofficial) @ste.eurosky.social · 28/09/2026Has anyone thought of telling Danny Tommo that there are migrants being housed at Fairford? 010
Steve (unofficial) @ste.eurosky.social · 28/09/2026Replace the comma with a full stop and the context changes completely. Of course what he says publicly and what happens behind the scenes can be two completely different things. My nan used to say "Sometimes you have to stroke the pig" - don't burn bridges, you never need an enemy. 100
Steve (unofficial) @ste.eurosky.social · 28/09/2026Avanti were always terrible. Far worse than Virgin they replaced and inherited their trains from. Interesting that they run the West Cost mainline, which Burnham uses to get from Manchester to London. 110
Steve (unofficial) @ste.eurosky.social · 28/09/2026Just heard a really loud jet, so I looked out of the window and it was just a pigeon sat on next door's roof. 020

Steve (unofficial) @ste.eurosky.social · 28/09/2026Mid long Teams meeting boredom review checklist: 1. Ate a whole pack of jaffa cakes 2. Trimmed ear hair 3. Put on pants 4. Thought about tidying desk 5. Cleaned ear hair trimmer 6. Put pants the right way tound 7. Tried to write a viral BlueSky post 8. Trimmed toenails 151
Steve (unofficial) @ste.eurosky.social · 28/09/2026It's really stressful being on mute in a long Teams meeting but having to keep listening in case they mention you. 020

Steve (unofficial) @ste.eurosky.social · 28/09/2026Well that was stressful. I had put my biscuits in the wrong desk drawer, and momentarily couldn't find them. Going for a lie down. 051

Steve (unofficial) @ste.eurosky.social · 25/09/2026If you expunge Man City results from 2010-11: City took 6 points off Blackpool (3–2 and 1–0 wins), removing Man City's results leaves Blackpool on 39 points. Wolves (who took 3 pts off City) drop to 37 pts, and Birmingham (who took 2 pts off City) drop to 37 pts. Blackpool survive in 16th place. 110
Steve (unofficial) @ste.eurosky.social · 25/09/2026At the same time as the BBC announce culling regional news reporters to save money, up on BBC1 comes another terrible BBC-produced daytime priest/nun/hairdresser detective drama (yes, they all exist). And don't get me started on dancing. BBC needs to get its priorities right. 130
