With the Green Party how having had more MPs elected at the Ballot box (discounting tory defections) than Reform, maybe its time the media and especially the BBC gave them at least equal time to Reform. Laura wont like that, but she should be forced to have them on or she should be sacked.
Maybe it is because I'm an Apollo era person and remember the excitement of those first moon landings, but I have more or less zero interest in Artemis now.
It feels like the media is getting excited that someone is going to run a 4 minute mile in 2026.
The first time it's been windy on the collection day of our new small food waste bin. There is going to be a cost to the council of replacing all those that are blowing up and down the street 💨🌬️

If Ricky Gervais didn't like me I'd wear it as a badge of honour . He is the least humourous man on earth.
If they'd put an electronic drum beat on a dog farting, kids would have bought it in the 90s
When I said I was having a new bathroom, I really meant everything 🤣😯
Surprised they let Wolowitz have another go at toilet design .
#Rugbyleague Oh big crowd at Odsal. #SuperLeague
He'd get a better effect if he lowered the needle on to the record

My brother was head of IT and says constantly requiring a password change is actually very insecure as people tend to write it down to remember.
I could have been at home watching #totp , instead I'm watching Kings of Leon 😂
John Major has one of the best quotes about Brexit
“Michael Gove said that after we leave, we will hold all the cards. Well, the only cards they held were P45s, for people who lost their jobs.”
I haven't played this in a very long time, but hearing a cover of one track used in a TV show inspired me to dig it out.

Not a soccer fan myself, but still a sad loss. Kevin Keegan has gone.

Well done Andy Burnham for making all the media's talking heads completely wrong on who'll be chancellor.

I know I've had too much to drink when even I think I'm not making sense.
I'm a full blown oldie now, bus pass has arrived, so be out for a ride to just pass the time 🤣
Each year I go to The Long Road festival, which is Country, Americana and Roots music. They seem to have regular issues with headline artists pulling out just before the gig.
This year Bailey Zimmerman has cancelled, and they have just announced the replacement, Ronnie Wood and his band, featuring Imelda May.
I'm sure some of the attendees that think country music only comes from Nashville will be unhappy, but for a true music fan I think this is actually a good choice and a bit of a bonus.

If people in London want to come to where the culture is they can travel slow like everyone else.
