I believe that if you call 112 the emergency services get a GPS location of the call where as 999 would just give the nearest phone mast. So itβs helpful if you are unfamiliar with your surroundings. I vaguely remember this from some first aid training I once had.
Of course
"The Birdie Twat"
As he went to sleep my son said dad, would you prefer to be a dolphin but everybody hates you or a really popular blobfish?
Makes you think doesnβt it #makesyouthink
Anyone ready to lick the toenails of adventure with Betty Steady? #buyastrangerabook
I have another #buyastrangerabook day offer to tell you about.
@eethie.bsky.social will buy someone a copy of any of the books in the Betty Steady series by Nicky Smith-Dale and illustrated by Sarah Horne.
"Funnier than a tap-dancing chicken!"
If you'd like one, get in touch!

Does anyone know why they hold up big pictures on boards rather than put them on a screen - surely a projector/tv screen would be more efficient? @atrupar.com
Happy "some news about your pricing" email month to all who celebrate

Morning! #DogsOfBluesky
Honestly the collective national level of disdain for Brits living in Dubai on all my social media platforms today really is bringing the UK together as one in a way that's hard to achieve in the modern era.

So Iβve given in and watched a bit of this years Drive to Survive on Netflix.
FlΓ‘vio Briatore should not be allowed anywhere near an #F1 team or track. His actions in 2008 should mean he is banned for lie

The Staggeringly Good Braggot (βTis but a scratch) at Drayton Tavern is delicious π
Itβs now a halfway house/ semi supported living place. The residents are interesting (I work next door)

Beth Ditto takes over the slot from April. Iβm looking forward to it, she is fab.
Iβve been following F1 too long to get caught up in the Netflix shenanigans but oh am I ready. I hate winter for so many reasons
this brings me so much joy, just the absolute polar opposite of the sort of people currently making decisions on behalf of young people - an actual real life normal young person interested in culture and looking good
If itβs still available this would go very nicely with the copy of This Way Up that @eamonngriffin.bsky.social kindly sent me.
Maps are fab π
Would absolutely devour a series of mystery books featuring a lightly fictionalized Gordon Brown analogue about a former UK Prime Minister who goes about solving crimes based on archival research and their international network of connections.
I love the idea of some hotel receptionist saying βAnd weβre looking forward to welcoming Lord Mandelson next week as wellβ and Hoyle saying βwait whatβ
Hereβs last nightβs story about Twitter, how it went from bad to worse under Elon Musk, and the real reason why John wonβt be tweeting in the future. Hint: it has something to do with his amazing feet. youtu.be/p7ZG_xWYLzI
Why does no-one leave steaming hot pies next to street-level open windows these days? This is not the future the Beano promised us
