New post: Racism and xenophobia are not 'legitimate concerns' mainlymacro.blogspot.com/2026/09/raci... What politicians and the media do today is like describing Mosley’s blackshirts in the 1930s as protesters with legitimate concerns about the government letting in too many Jewish refugees.

@rich-bryant.uk #RNLIRecipes Can I have a stroganoff recipe please. All the ones I've tried have been meh, and the instructions seem to vary wildly on cut of meat and length of frying time.

The last few times I've gone to my local Tesco Express they've been piping flamenco music through their speakers. It's been like this for the past couple of months. I don't mind, I like it. It just makes me chortle every time I go in there for my potatoes.

Can anyone recommend a reasonable web designer? Nothing fancy, just basic. Because >drum roll< the publishers liked the second manuscript so book II will be out next spring. I do have a website, but I find it quite fiddly to maintain. Two books, lordy. Does that make me a proper author now?

Going to just love wearing a cpap mask for the next two nights. Especially since I have a heated pipe, which is not a euphemism. cpap therapy in a heatwave is the best thing ever.

Trying not to panic here but the smell of burning from somewhere in the vicinity is getting stronger by the minute. I've had to shut the windows. I'm 2 miles north of Winchester and was just in town and couldn't smell anything so doubt it's from the New Forest fire. 😱

Oh well thank goodness for that. I've finally received my copyedit. The editor loved it and hopes there's a third. Yay! Was asked for two initially so fingers crossed. Hopefully I don't have to do an Alan Partridge and dance around in leather pants asking for another series. No one wants that.

Born and bred in Cricklewood so this was very well received at the time. I did wonder if the programme had dated badly until I a few years ago when I watched my son convulsed in laughter at the episode where the Goodies open a medieval theme park.

Zoe Williams allow someone else to make their point before aggressively talking over them challenge. Sky should stop inviting her back. She never stops interrupting. It absolutely ruins the programme.

A picture of Gordon Brown and Shakira, clinking mugs of tea or coffee together.  They are both smiling.  Gordon is not doing one of his "i've just eaten a hot chip' smile.  It looks natural, and who can blame him.

One of the rare moments of job satisfaction in my day is hearing a developer say "oh, ffs" at something I've done. I am a software test engineer so this is a good thing from my perspective (and theirs, tbf). It's just happened. Twice. Swanning around now like Mrs Smug.
