Muddling through life trying to be nice. Somewhere oop north.

A picture of a shit country music singer on a big screen at Wembley Stadium. The seat is at the side of the stage with no view of the show whatsoever apart from what's on the screen. The robbing bastard actually charged money for this.
The Bernie Sanders meme, this time saying "Once again I am asking men to sit down when having a piss."
Have you ever had a political hero? “Political hero? No, not really … Definitely not Thatcher, because she took away the unions.” Sainty voted for Brexit, then Johnson; he says Farage is the last throw of the dice simply because, as he sees it, nothing else has worked. He mentions the high rent of his pride-and-joy beach hut and the fact that bored kids break into it from time to time without any repercussions from the police.
An Amazon page for a toilet roll holder which features a woman sat on a green sofa, looking at a laptop. Next to her is a free standing toilet rool holder with one roll of paper on it. Fine if it was abloke and he was watching porn and wanking, but it's still a bit weird.
German football legend Rudi Völler, complete with permed mullet and '70s porn star moustache.
Luca Zingaretti (sigh) as Inspector Montalbanao.

Llandudno pier with the Grand Hotel in the background.
One half of Milli Vanilli's public-facing duo, Fab Morvan, said he will also perform as scheduled. The voices behind Milli Vanilli's music said in a statement on X that they will not be performing. "The original/real vocalists of Milli Vanilli…will NOT be performing their hits live at the Great American State Fair. Others using the name Milli Vanilli should be considered a tribute band," the group said.
A bright blue and black striped damselfly sat on a verdant green leaf.
A phone box being removed from the pavement by a crane. It reminded me of the Spanish film La Cabina in which a man gets stuck in a phone box and is eventually moved, box and all, to a scrap yard where it turns out hundreds of others have met the same fate. It still fucking terrifies me.
A Greek salad consisting of feta cheese, juicy tomatoes, green pepper, cucumber, shallots and Kalamata olives. Sunshine in a bowl.
A title card from one of the shit Star Trek's that says 'will this do?' All Star Trek is shit, by the way.

Father Christmas and a reindeer in a snowy village scene with the words "Merry Christmas" above them.
The river Ouse in York; it's flanked by bare trees and the sun is setting behind the trees to the left.
"Tesco are the worst. Clubcard prices are standard and they add a premium for non-Clubcard holders."
A picture with two images; one is an empty space with the words (note the plural) 'No one'. The second image is a picture of Peter Noone of Herman's Hermits that has the word 'Noone' on it. This is to teach fucking idiots that 'no one' is two separate words. If you can't be arsed typing two separate words, try 'nobody' instead.
A paragraph about public nudity, and European attitudes towards it. The last sentence talks about following through.
A post about someone being sacked after being given fair warning for being drunk at work. A reply states that there's not much that could be done. A further reply from angry man Bill this time (who appears to be a massive cunt) sarcastically implies that more could have been done.
Kenneth Branagh as Victor Frankenstein.
The Leeds to Liverpool canal and the path alongside it stretch into the distance. The autumnal trees and the blue sky are reflected in the surface of the still water. Fluffy white clouds drift in the bright blue autumn sky.
A park with trees in autumn colours of red, yellow and gold. There is a duck pond in the foreground and a Victorian pavilion in the background. The sky is filled with rain clouds though it isn't raining.
A picture of the legendary actor Dick Van Dyke.
