He might get binned this time.

Hopefully your ankle isn’t too bad.

No, you misunderstand. While leisurely going down the station stairs, minding their own business, there was this idiot who brushed past and promptly made a somersault, probably injuring themselves even though they walked away as if nothing happened.

He is clearly allergic to cats. Cats can’t resist allergic people. Source self.

Wife and I had a brilliant long weekend in Belfast. Def Leppard and Extreme on Friday at Belsonic, and live blues rock performances all around the city centre throughout the weekend. We visited the Titanic museum, which was very interesting, and sampled a good few pubs too.

If you’ve heard the language spoken to you as a child, you might be surprised by your ability to learn it.

"Heat Refugees": When People Piled Into The Tube To Escape London Heatwaves in c/london@feddit.uk

In a heatwave the Tube is just about the last place I’d want to be.

Clearly people don’t understand: we simply didn’t brexit hard enough. /s

Past week was good, topped up by a nice weekend. Next few days look to be rather hot. Stay safe, folks!

Revealed: The 'Right-Wing Arms Race' to Deport Non-White Britons - Backed By the Tufton Street Brexit Lobby in c/uk_politics@feddit.uk

What would be the English version of Aryans, in the Nazi Germany sense and not the origin of the term? That’s what this Charlie Clowns, sorry, Downes character seems to be aspiring to.

I’m deliberately saying English. I’m sure the Scots, Welsh and Northern Irish have their fair share of idiots, but to me the proportion of genuine knobheads in England seems to be much higher. Admittedly, I live in the English AFL/UKIP/Brexit/Reform heartland, which might skew my view somewhat. Still, they are knobheads the lot.

Is Tom Hanks one of the true great actors? (feddit.uk)
 

I just heard Streets of Philadelphia on radio, which made me think of movies where Tom Hanks is in a leading role. I could not think of one I’ve seen where he was not convincing in the role.

I think he is one of the very best actors we’ve seen. Disagree?

How have you coped with the heat? (feddit.uk)
 

We’ve been on holiday with two dogs. The last few days have been so hot that we could go out with them only early in the morning. Thankfully the place we are staying has stone walls and seemingly good loft insulation that moderate temperature fluctuations.

How have you been coping?

'Most bashed' Ely railway bridge hit three times in one week - no, you can’t park there, mate (www.bbc.co.uk)
 

People keep bashing this bridge and consequently parking where they shouldn’t. It’s locally known as the Britney Bridge: Hit me baby one more time!

After several weekends and evenings of toiling my new BBQ setup is finally ready. Just in time for the thunderstorms!

State funeral for Larry the cat (when he eventually passes) (feddit.uk)
 

Larry has been a constant fixture of politics and UK foreign relations for a fair while. Just today he was part of the UK-France discourse.

I think he deserves a state funeral when he eventually passes. Should we create a parliamentary petiton?

What a way for Black Sabbath to bow out. Were you there or watch the stream? What did you think?

Modern technology threw some curveballs this year. I hope everybody had a great time regardless.

Home made gyros (feddit.uk)
 

The flatbread is from the shop, but everything else, including yogurt for the tzatziki, was home made from first principles.

My wife has made tzatziki for ages, but recently she started making it from home made yogurt. It’s been nothing short from a revelation.
