Wonky fruit and veg.., and the way TV chefs, supermarkets etc. try and sell this shit as some sort of eco-heroism, or the equivalent of rescuing a puppy. It’s all just a big con. You don’t see KFC advertising their new range of family bucket made from mutated chickens. Why the fcuk would I want to buy a three legged carrot that takes three times as long to peel as a big straight one? Idiots.

Fair point definitely. I have just watched it. I actually get where some of it comes from, the fashion that is demonising of white heterosexual men in certain sections of society is unsettling to some. I felt the tikkytokky guy came across as immature and a bit insecure, but guess kids won’t see that. Social media platforms have the ability to amplify opinion out of proportion to reality if no-one puts out any counter argument. I’d treat these freak shows no different to the tranny pedlars, or the race baiters and either ignore or ridicule them. My boy is 16, and I think very similar to h

He does a good Jimmy Savile

I keep going to watch it but can’t seem to face the challenge. Guess I must be a beta Seriously though, the premise isn’t new, just the platforms and magnitude is. I see these influencers as attention seekers, narcissists full of their own importance. And whilst there are mugs prepared to listen to them, then they’ll continue to think they matter. And the women are no better, take that bint who’s now famous for getting raked out by hundreds of fellas in a single shift…, all dignity traded for cash and fifteen minutes of fame. Said for a while that it’ll take a generation at least to get to g

Still cool at 2C this morning, but dry and settled.., lovely morning to be out at first light. Stopped to use Merlin a couple of times. Nothing exotic but brilliant to hear the trees full of life again.

If you like a dance tune, you might like this wee ear worm…

Decent innings at 86. Apparently very good at the martial arts thing, only ever seen a few of his films and they were low budget and pretty dreadful affairs. Not his fault I suppose. RIP

Just finished the first two series of Landman on Paramount. I thought it was worth watching but boy, do the yanks love a hero. Bit like Yellowstone (both by Taylor Sheridan) if you liked that, or if red baseball caps and country music are your thing.

Remember watching that original shaky footage on ‘Arthur C Clarke’s Mysterious World’ as a wide eyed kid, totally believing it was real. I thought it had been debunked by one of the family or a deathbed confession years ago, or maybe that was something else. Watching it now it’s actually laughable, I’ve seen more convincing ‘UK big cat’ clips.

Best team won I think, but if the Irish won then they wouldn’t have been able to celebrate or lift the trophy in their stadium. No good. You weren’t the only one cheering on England…

Actually, you are right. I remember now discussing this a few years ago. Still don’t think it’s right.

Very tall order for Scotland. Also, thought the final day fixtures were played at the same time to ensure a level playing field. I guess TV money talks louder than sporting integrity.

Always thought I wasn’t a cat lover, then as I got older and smarter realised I just don’t like cat owners. Had someone at my door a few years back with a petition to ask the Scottish govt to make it a legal requirement to stop if you run over a cat in the road. I said I’d sign it just after I’d signed the one to makes it illegal for an owner to allow a cat out to freely roam the streets, shitting where it pleases, and decimating the local songbird population. Needless to say I didn’t need to borrow her pen. Good on your missus for being so kind to a wee helpless critter in need of saving

Tv adverts on erectile dysfunction, vaginal dryness, thrush, pissing your pants etc. I preferred a society that was slightly embarrassed to talk about such things, and where we’d deal with them discreetly and with some dignity. The latest ad boiling my piss is for Pepto fcuking Bismol. IFKYK

Agree, a long way from those great write ups of the exploits of the wee whippet on the golf course. Bad enough getting drawn into a bit of bickering on a thread, but another level kicking off a thread and trying to start it. Sad indeed.
