Going to be fascinating to see how this plays out. I wonder whether the younger male hangs about and maybe even mates with his mother and is tolerated by his father who perhaps also fertilises one or more eggs! Or it could all end in a fight of course.

I will be happy to contribute to a “It’s a superpowerrrrrrre???” Crowd fund. I’m not autistic but I thought it was fantastic and enjoyed it immensely. Obviously it’s a travesty that a daft hamster stole the limelight from Tilly!

I think he’s a very lucky man. There are a number of maritime statutes he could and many think should have formed the basis of a significant prosecution.

I used to have a work colleague who was a bit of a “charmer” and when he wanted to dismiss somebody he’d had enough of he’d say “F off and E.S & D”. E.S&D means eat shit and die. We should try that with Trump and his ridiculous regime. I suspect he’d rather respect that.

Really keen to hear from someone who has opted out of their auto-enrolment pension scheme. You don’t need to be on air - just share a few thoughts with me. RTs gratefully received!

Good luck with that. I once spent an afternoon trying to convince an American director that describing a customer/close collaborator of "having a myopic focus on growth & quality" was not, in fact, a very flattering description of their business practices. He did eventually change it

I can't see SCOTUS telling Trump not to tear down the East Wing. But even if they do he'll ignore it. Has a single person faced ANY legal peril or criminal sanction for ignoring a court ruling PUTUS has ignored this term?

I abhor the cynicism of our right wing politics on this issue. They know full well the people most riled up by this will very unlikely to be the beneficiary of an estate paying IHT Yet they will be tapped to pay the shortfall of scrapping IHT.

Same thing that happened not so long ago. Wasn’t a military aircraft then. Amazed that “ ug” hasn’t been fixed yet!

Burnham’s response has been utterly pathetic. Worse than a shoulder shrug. I really hope somebody gets in his lug hole.

Err. Not watched Ludwig then? 3 coincidences is statistically significant! Must be aliens or something.

Reflects very badly on the editors too in my opinion. Especially as they are fully aware of Reform’s hunger for foreign money (even if ideologically they don’t care about it!).

Rees-Mogg tried blathering on about eating more venison but at the same time he was trying to get us to go back to ergs and rods. I don’t think eating more venison is a bad idea per se but I’d rather we controlled their numbers naturally rather than dodgy characters with rifles.

I have created an A4 calendar for 2027 featuring images of the stunning Stamford Peregrines. They may be purchased for £10 directly from myself in Stamford, Walkers Bookshop or All Saints' church. Alternatively ship nationally & Internationally via E-Bay. ebay.io/m/krpCFi
Image is the front page of the 2027 calendar. The imahe is of the adult male peregrine facing to the right scratching his beak with a sharp talon

On my High St there’s a shop where the window of the top floor is broken and pigeons love it. It’s been like that for months. Councils should give a shit about stuff like that. In only a few years that whole building could be compromised

Nope. No reason at all to be generous. The prize they are after - governing the country is far too important NOT to assume the huge figure attributed to sundries isn't actually cover for illegal spend.

Stuart Wilson @stuartwilson19.bsky.social · 04/08/2026
an increase of around 10% in numbers? They’d be seeing 5 out of 20 rather than 1 or 2. My Mum talked of the Caribbean and Malay student nurses she trained with in the 60s where similar racism from patients was also prevalent. I think we should shirk from ascribing more of the blame of these

I’m not convinced there is a “sharp growth” in non-white NHS staff over the last (say) 25 years. It looks like there might be an increase from around 15% to 28% of the workforce. And that’s certainly significant BUT includes a large cohort the public would never see. Would people really notice

We should normalise calling this behaviour out properly rather than being so “British” about it. The bloke sounds like a racist cunt. Why not call him that?

FIFA's structure makes it very difficult. Cape Verde and Gibraltar have the same number of votes as Germany and England. Infantino will calculate that the large countries won't boycott the World Cup

him that I was there to watch peregrines and not to be proselytised Thankyou. He reluctantly walked off insisting that “God loved me”. Not impressed especially as he knew I couldn’t just leave all the birding scopes.

Was hosting our peregrine watch in town a few weeks back and three people showed interest in their birds and then they handed me a card from a local church. Then one started to preach at me and I politely made it plain I wasn’t interested. His colleagues took the hint but he didn’t. I had to tell

It's great advice. Got it done for my parents and I've done it myself. If people are cost limited then by all means do it yourself but I'd suggest paying a professional - maybe the same time as you do/update your will.

Perhaps energy tariffs for households should all be on a sliding scale and rising as consumption increases perhaps even triggering a retrospective increase in the previously lower initial rate of a threshold of use is breached. Would encourage lower use and hit wealthier users proportionately more

He is a patron of the John Clare Countryside project supported by Landyke Countryside Trust. Apparently he has a passion for the work of John Clare. It sure if that helps but the Landyke Trust may be able to pass on a message if you can’t get a direct contact

Rather foolhardy if you ask me (you didn’t!). Their track record (X) suggests commitments are worthless. They should sanction them and suspend until those commitments are verified to be in place and working.

Yes that’s a rather pathetic reaction isn’t it?
