The only celebrity I see pointing out Labour's inability to govern is Jeremy Clarkson.


Who would make the better Prime Minister is the wrong question. Who you would want as Prime Minister is more how things are going these days.

So I bought some #Huel greens (£50). I'm not sure what to make of it, tbh. It seems to have a slight metallic after taste. For my palate, maybe I need a bit more than a flat scoop, as it tastes watery. Finally, I'm wondering if you're supposed to drink the whole lot in one go. I thought you sipped at it? 🤷‍♂️

I'll carry on, though. I need to, I've got fifty quids worth.🤣

#huel


Exactly!
The attached image is a bit out of date (Labour 406 seats). I saw a projection yesterday that Labour would gain 526 seats. My own view is the Greens are pathetic, LidDem are useless, SNP (Who?) NI, Plaid and the rest of the Heinz 57 lot will never be able to form a viable safety net. Having said that, who knows what will happen on polling day? We've seen the pollsters get it massively wrong before.


Doesn't he remind you of someone else when they were running for London Mayor?



Remember children. While you were busy making as many posts as possible to "Get the Tories out", you let Farage in!

Don't forget to thank all those who relentlessly slagged the Conservatives off across all the Social Media platforms, including biased journalists, on the 4th of July. You deserve all you get.

See, at least it stopped you from nicking Bounty bars from the shop. 🤣


Happy Father's Day to everyone, especially those unable or denied time to spend with their children.

Treats for me and the missus while we watch the punch-up tonight on the BBC debate. #excited #politics #generalelection2024 #bbcdebate


LOL
I can beat that. I'd like us to go back to the medieval "Hundreds" system, but also 100 dwellings that elect a representative for said Hundred, who in turn select a representative for the county. That way you'd be truly represented otherwise you'd nip round to number 87 and put your representatives windows through. 🤣


For the love of The Pond Gods! Is that the best she can think of saying?

A better comment would be: "Phew! Now the rozzers are leaving me alone I'm allowed back on the bus."

It's a shame #Labour won't let Dianne Abbot stand as a candidate. She's such a brilliant advertisement for the #Conservatives. Who wouldn't want someone in control who doesn't know what shoe goes on what foot?

See, I told you Labour doesn't know what it's doing. 😉


You've gotta love the 𝗦𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝘂𝗽 𝗕𝗼𝘆𝘀 @Stickupmusic I see them working really hard on #Hive supporting people.
#Hive


Yep, I can't argue with that. Still, at least we've still got Green Goddesses in storage to pick up the pieces.


And they're off!
So the two-horse race for the #generalelection2024 has started and already Rishi Sunak has made two mistakes. I have to agree with @peston's first prediction of a November election this would have given more time for interest rates to come down along with fuel and food. There would have been more time for more than just one person to enjoy the scenery of Rwanda. Secondly, why didn't he wait for 8 or 9 am this morning when there was less chance of looking like the gods were pissing all over him. #politics


Not only are Air Fryers the new microwave, but they were also clearly invented for men!

For crying out loud! I wish I'd kept my mouth shut!

So I see the binman lift the lids on our bins and walk away. It would seem obvious to me, without looking at the bins myself, that they are either empty or not worth lifting. I rang our Admin and said to make a note that they have not done a lift and to check the invoice when it comes in. Admin asks me to check the bins. "But it's obvious they're empty or not worth it; he's hardly likely to walk away from a bin that's full!" It turns out the Recycle is empty, and the General has hardly anything in it. The next thing I know, the binman is back and lifts the empty bin!

I ring our Admin. "The bloke has come all the way back and lifted an empty bin!"

The admin waffles on about paying in advance, and they have to record a lift. Do I want to reduce collections to fortnightly? I wish I hadn't bothered.


There always has to be one nosey git, hasn't there? I've bought some Kopparberg cider for the misses and put it in the fridge so that they should be reasonably cold when I get home. I just had the go-for come to my door (Mr "Have you got a clipboard?) and say: "Did you want the last cider in the fridge? I like cider."

I'm thinking of switching my office fan on, but I don't want to get covered in 14 lbs of dust and cobwebs!


#Audible Currently listening to The Battle for Spain by Antony Beevor
I've read the book a couple of times before! I must have more money than sense?


Throughout history, countries have been banned from events due to their activities. For example, Russia, Afghanistan, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Japan, Germany, Turkey, Hungary, Austria, Bulgaria. #Eurovision has banned countries, too. Are they scared of being called antisemitic?


While walking the dog, I saw smoke over Cannock, which is eight miles away. ITV News says there's a massive fire, and businesses have been told to evacuate. Why couldn't it have been near our business?


Sadly, it's like celebrating being in the lifeboat of the Titanic!


Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned.
I have eaten the Chicken Big Mac, large fries 5 cheesy bites and an orange juice.


I will have to wait until tomorrow for the voting results for the Midlands. 😟

Is it St. Patrick's Day? I seem to have green spots on my rolls. It should be OK, though, shouldn't it?


Charlie and I voted this morning. Getting him a picture license wasn't hard; they give them away like sweets these days. Getting him to hold the pencil was an issue. Not only does he not have any thumbs, but the silly sausage thought it was a chew stick.

I never understand "Unfollow" on my #hive account. I post so rarely that I wonder why it should matter. I could understand it if I was relentlessly churning out posts for the sake of it to keep my momentum up like some of the production line content I often see. I'd probably unfollow myself if I were doing that. 🤣

If only we could get one of these on the Moon or Mars, we'd really be able to get the ball rolling. #Colonalisation



Some folk seek solace from the Bible. As the Red Hordes burn their way across the UK, I lament that there is not one single strong leader in the #Conservative party. If only, like King Arthur, Maggie could come back to save us from the looming darkness. #politics #wellingborough


Am I the only one resisting enabling #Ubuntu Pro every time a software update informs me that updates are ready to be installed but that I need to enable Pro to get them?

There is nothing like a little bit of pressure selling, is there? 💳


Oh for the love of The Pond Gods!
I've just worked out why the stupid drop-off locker didn't like my mobile. The crappy system wanted me to drop the 0 off the beginning of my mobile number, didn't it?


I've caved and eaten some chocolate. 🫣


I have to say, I'm impressed with @Bose. Father Christmas gave me some earbuds over a year ago, which've gone faulty. I went on the support website and gave the serial number (which is bloody hard to get), and they're swapping them out for me. \o/ #resilt


Miserable moaning old people are not really miserable moaning old people. It's just in most cases, they've had 60 to 70 years of putting up with PITA morons. It drains you after a bit.


Oops! Mastodon .org .uk is down. 😥


If only @currys did these, they'd be on my Your Plan quicker than you could blink.
