What lens did you get, Paul?

A brown and white dog with a concerned look sits up straight and looks into the camera. On the floor next to them is an animal skin rug with matching coloring to theirs.

sometimes all it takes is a little subtle messaging to improve your pet’s behavior

Great to see folk trying to seek sources for pictures.

Photo from the early 1970s of a man on horseback negotiating the Birmingham inner ring road at Holloway Head

I’m searching for the original and/or rights owner of this fabulous picture of Birmingham in the early 1970s. It popped up on my Instagram feed, but I’ve been unable to track it down.

Any leads? I’m really hoping to use it in a book.

(And would much appreciate a RT please)

I spend SO MUCH TIME in the first year, encouraging (urging?!) my students to forget what they learned at A-level. Radical action IS required, but absolutely not the radical action that is suggested here.

This appalling fat cat wants to shut the door on all my mature students, many of whom left school after GCSE and give up a lot to go to university. I can tell him that they’re the hungriest for education and far from being unable to graduate, they regularly get the highest grades. Hateful man.

A little something to cheer up all those #Spurs fans tonight!

There a big transatlantic split on BlueSky.

On the US side it’s intense war stuff.

On the UK side it’s all “Spurs are going down, going down, going down….”

Has a manager ever been sacked at half-time? #LUFC #THFC

The Electric Monk was a labor-saving device, like a dishwasher or a video recorder. Dishwashers washed tedious dishes for you, thus saving you the bother of washing them yourself, video recorders watched tedious television for you, thus saving you the bother of looking at it yourself; Electric Monks believed things for you, thus saving you what was becoming an increasingly onerous task, that of believing all the things the world expected you to believe.

I'm thinking of a passage from Douglas Adams.

A pile of mannequin arms.

Paul McCartney: Man on the Run - Official Trailer | Prime Video YouTube video by Prime Video

Just finished watching Man on the Run. Stunning footage, much new, that captures the time, great new insights from Paul, Linda, Denny and pals, even the piper from the Campbeltown Pipe Band. 5stars. Awesome film that justifies an Amazon Prime sub. Plus sheep a plenty. youtu.be/pBcllNrY0u8?...

You're getting schooled here, Jim lad!

Blossoms on a tree outside Moor Park London Underground station

It's feeling a lot more like Spring today in London. I'm even going to brave hanging clothes on the washing line for the time this year. Here's a photo taken outside Moor Park London Underground station of the beautiful blossoms on the trees.

For those in the UK that's around one and a half Aberfans.

B&W Cover of the Hanging Sheep, Leeds United Fanzine,"Where men are men and the Sheep are well aware of that" Picture of Howard Wilkinson in a raincoat with moon and stars. He says "I don't care if it is two in the morning, I want another 8 laps. Besides Ilkley Moor isn't that big.

3 beer pumps - the right-hand one is a tribute to former Leeds manager Howard Wilkinson called 'Wilko 92'. His picture is on the pump badge.

Not the result we wanted, but a good performance against a team of habitual cheats, whose bench probaly costs twice as much our squad, and the referee who acted as their accomplice. Enjoyed an excellent refreshing pint of Wilko ale in the Peacock before the game. #LUFC

Very interesting article and the photographs are a great reminder of what this period was like. I wasn't aware of the work of Phyllis Nicklin but a quick search found some more of her work on Flickr www.flickr.com/photos/futur... (CC BY NC Licence)

Take two seven year olds in a primary school in the Prime Minister’s constituency.

It does feel like Starmer and Mahmoud have seen Labour rejected by its own *actual* core vote (instead of its imagined one) in its heartland and decided that the answer is just to reject those core voters right back.

Suicidal politics.

It's going to be an uphill struggle.

Just looked at their website… is that Jeremy Corbyn in the publicity shot?

Used to go to Sweet Centre regularly, also Sheesh Mahal, Mumtaz, Akbars, and of course Kashmir and Karachi. Not been to Jinnah will check

My current favourite is The International

I tend to avoid the Vindaloo, go for flavour - but nicely hot and spicy. Not sure where you live but Bradford is the place for authentic curries with exceptional value. Most still include rice/naan/3 chappties in the price.

Nah! Just some teams from this season's 'The Apprentice'. And, just as entitled, dim-witted and useless!
