I see Liz Truss has a new job. It may be a bit dry* for some, though.

* ALLEGEDLY

She is filled to the brim of the Royal Navy's full complement of anti-drone weaponry.

One matelot with a bag of marbles and a Dennis the Menace-style catapult in his back pocket.

Tl;Dr - that HMS Dragon has left Portsmouth. Will arrive off Cyprus at some point within the next 9 months.

Arne Slot will be Spurs manager by Easter.

Presumably, at some point, the Oyster Catcher will be replaced by one called Heron.

Little bit of topical Leasowe humour there.

She's training the Air Force's snipers.

"This cannot get any worse" Atletico Madrid 4-0 Tottenham

Photos taken moments before disaster, an ongoing series:

See, this is where Everton's two goalkeepers on the bench trick could have worked for Tottenham. We would have been on our third 'keeper by now. Spurs are stuck with their second.

Apart from the hideous graphics, let's be real for a second: According to the Joseph Rowntree Foundation there are *3.6 MILLION* children in severe and acute poverty.

Now, I am favour of (almost) any measure to feed more kids, but come on; you are not systemically 'lifting kids out of poverty'

FUCK UP, YOU STUPID CUNT

Oh, I'm so sorry

Any wrestling fans remember David Starr?

That's only fair. It'd be dangerous with the river right there.

A red and white "no motor vehicles" sign on Seacombe Promenade. The Mersey Tunnel ventilation tower can be seen behind, as well as the Mersey and the Liverpool 2 container terminal

Does anyone know what this sign means? Asking for hundreds of fishermen who regularly drive and park along the prom.

That's what they make the bone apple tea out of.

There's a fella by me who drives a car that's been made to look like Pikachu. People are usually quite upset when I see them admiring it and I have to let them know that the bloke who drives it is a convicted sex offender who was quite senior in the local church choir.

Pokenonce.

Quentin Tarantino, with his face like a diesel shunter on the Isle of Sodor.

It's the only explanation, because he was a right fucking arsehole 😆

When I was a much younger man, working permanent nights at Tesco, I knew a couple who both worked there and had been married for 30 years.

I swear the only reason they managed it was that he clocked off as she clocked on. They must have only got about an hour together in the evening.

I remember the good old days of calling them utilities on the Amiga.

He keeps breathing in and out, for two.

Becky Chambers' A Closed and Common Orbit, if you must know.

Cosy, space-y, and FULL of pronouns.

For reasons*, I didn't get to sleep until about 4am and now I would like to go to bed. But for broadly the same reasons, I can't go to sleep until the cause of the reasons has gone to bed properly himself. Gonna read my book instead.

* Double CAMHS on Wednesday kids.

I'm over on Mastodon, too, if this place goes tits up.

A red Queen Victoria on a mossy tarmac pavement with a funeral director's shop behind.

Kenilworth Road in Wallasey. Saw this tonight and thought of you

there are many, many depictions of the faerie folk in fiction but I think the Nac Mac Feegle may be my very favorite

“Nac Mac Feegle! The Wee Free Men! Nae king! Nae quin! Nae laird! Nae master! We willna' be fooled again!”

Lovely evening of leafleting with @wirralgreenparty.bsky.social in Seacombe. And looked like a cracking turnout - of all political stripes - at the Town Hall to protest the Peak Cluster pipeline.

Too busy reporting on Princess Eugenie, Crufts, and (no word of a lie) a charity shop in *New Zealand* having a bag of weed and money donated to them.
