I still think about this a lot.
Today’s mitzvah: picking up SOMEONE ELSE’s dog poo.
(I mean, I have a dog, so I feel implicated. It’s not a hobby.)
A car covered in and surrounded by cats.
“I think we have just the thing you’re looking for sir. Handles like a pig on ice. Fuel consumption like an oil rig fire. But cats absolutely LOVE it.”
Car dealer: “So what are you looking for in a car sir?”
Me: “I want one that cats like to sit on. Hundreds of cats preferably. I mean a cat magnet essentially.”
My lawyer has advised me not to name names. I’ll tell you the next time I see you.
Don’t think so. But I’ll check.
I’ve listened to a couple of big name podcasts recently and found myself thinking “Are they…pissed?” Is this just me or am I hearing early signs of a podcast-induced speech disorder?
In the studio tonight: Dan Lowenstein, Howard Jacobson and Thea Gilmore, singing live. Down the line: Philippa Gregory. Join us on Front Row at 7:15.
Yes, hello, is that God? Yeah, hi. I have a complaint. You gave me this brain that’s designed for finding berries and avoiding lions and now people are ‘just circling back’ to see if we can ‘move the needle’ on ‘key initiatives’? NONE of those things are berries.
An hour apart. Perhaps we should stop treating the mindless weathervane spinning in the breeze as if it has a clear strategic direction we can ascertain.
Headline from the New York Post “Trump tells The Post there's no reason to panic over Iran war oil-price surge: 'I have a plan for everything' “
Calm down. He’s going to unroll Operation Baldrick.

Good luck…I’m impressed by how far you’ve already got.
The lettering above the door does seem to read Alson Engineering Company — as you’ve discovered. Do you want to read all the text on the window boards?
Bligh, whatever his personal qualities, was actually a very competent seaman.
So, captain-wise, do we think Trump is more Ahab, Queeg or Pugwash?
Nothing quite as reassuring as hearing someone on the Today Programme saying “I think it’s a little early to panic”.
Awful news about Glasgow Central, I'm still hoping the station itself escaped serious damage.
But while we're here, can anyone spot the problem with the news photo below, from thetraveler.org/glasgow-cent...?
We've really got to STOP using AI to fake things.
“Yes. It looks to me as if you’ve developed what we doctors call Doomscroller’s Finger. We’re seeing quite a lot of it these days.”
Birth, life, death and quite a bit of treacle.
The full Martyrdom Gold package.
“Now. As we discussed you’ll get six weeks of paid leave, three duvet days per year and very generous death-in-service benefits.”
Blimey. Call The Midwife. Makes the John Lewis Christmas ads look steely-eyed and cynical.
Yes. It was more obvious to the eye than the camera.
Hill tops (Helvellyn and Catstye Cam seen from Dollywagon Pike, almost covered by cloud, which fills the foreground. On the cloud the shadow of a figure, circled in light)
Also the sun behind the cloud delivered a Brocken spectre!
Helvellyn and Striding Edge, emerging from cloud.
Wanted to be reminded that there’s sun behind the cloud this weekend and Nethermost Pike finally delivered. (Helvellyn and Striding Edge)
It’s like the Bat Signal. You call and he comes to restore order.
Paging @dorianlynskey.bsky.social. !Urgent call for @dorianlynskey.bsky.social !
