Babybird are one of those bands that I didn't realise had more than one song....#totp

Looks like they're planning an epic game of Twister after theshow....#totp

This was my "must dance" song when I was young... #totp

How is Michael McDonald getting that cat to keep still on his head? #totp

Oh good grief, not this utter shite again... #totp

Speaking of utterly bollocks lyrics, @ricardoautobahn.co.uk ..... #totp

What the Johnny Mathis is this? 😨 #totp

Did they drag this band away from a darts match to do TOTP? #totp

Another dreadful football song that had been mercifully erased from my memory until now... #totp

Not while The Lighthouse Family existed....😨

Alexia, "Gimme Love". Was the lyrics bucket a bit empty when they wrote this one? #totp

The Evil Overlord and his minions 🤣

Bold of you to assume he can read...

A Canada Goose stands, bill fully extended to chest height on me, eyes a-bulge and appearing mostly snout due to the foregrounding of the bill in the camera's field of vue. It is clearly expecting food, willingly or unwillingly provided. There is definitely a Jurassic Park velociraptor vibe, the sense that while I'm locking gazes with this one, the other ones are picking my pocket and then waddling off to get french fries and ice cream from the nearby seaside diner.

When you're enjoying the big perennial border at Beacon Hill Park, suddenly get the feeling you're not alone, and turn around.

I've heard that the "pudding" in black/blood pudding derives from "boudin", a French word for sausage. It sounds a bit like pudding, I suppose, and I can see it getting mangled into that by non French speakers.

This always makes me smile!

Reminds me of how confused I got reading a fantasy book, where the wizard protagonist described his enemy as having his hands covered in something that "looked like black pudding". Took me a few minutes to realise he meant that custardy stuff that Americans call pudding and not blood sausage....

There are certainly people who call if afters though. It may be partly regional too - I mean, you can walk half a mile down the street in this country and that changes what they call a bread roll 🙃

Not fighting, just providing a contradictory data point. There are indeed people who call it afters, but I don't think it's quite as clear-cut as rich/working class. I suspect regional differences are also involved.

My family is not rich. We've always called it pudding.

As a Brit, I've always wondered what it is that happens to fruitcake in America that apparently renders it inedible.... 🤣

Oh lovely! Not a happy birdie, but beautiful just the same!

So delicate! They almost look like tiny parachutes more than wings!

The lesson you should be learning is not to enact transphobic policies that harm the people you're supposed to be representing.

I never realised The Littlest Hobo was a German Shepherd as he doesn't look like the ones I'm familiar with. I wonder if he was an atypical individual, or if the breed has different characteristics in Canada🤔

BlueSky is trying to monetize so let's show them some numbers:

Reskeet this if you refuse to pay for BlueSky+ until trust & safety decides to prioritize marginalized users.

That's $96 / year of lost revenue for each reskeet...
