A nice WTF did I really just hear that moment. Radio 4 programme on Greek philosophers:

When asked about his public masturbation in the market place Diogenes replied,

"If only it was so easy to satisfy my hunger just by rubbing my belly."

There's yer actual Reithian Values right there; inform, educate and entertain.

Have a look outside if the sky is clear.

Venus, Saturn and Jupiter are currently visible.

Sadly it’s cloudy down here, but the skywatcher App keeps telling me to look.

Very strange items on the table at our local tonight.

That's the shittest raffle I've seen for a long while.

2 clowns fighting on the local busybody group. Any ideas what they're on about? 

The art of spelling, punctuation and grammar is clearly lost on some.

I see you're also engaging in reading arguments between people you don't know at 1am. Why do we do this to ourselves?

The end of year awards dinner and dance for the Rallycross championship I cover for TV - the championship made the very kind gesture of putting up a trophy in memory of my girlfriend and invited me to present it, and everyone had a very enjoyable evening of grub, quizzes and raffles, awards, a Scalextric competition with some great Group B rally car models - and followed of course by an almighty piss-up.

Around my way that's a Ayrshire cocktail , mind you have to get the mix right or you end up going blind

Does anyone else find those reels of road signs being scrubbed clean to be deeply satisfying?

If you like that kind of thing, check out this channel - https://www.youtube.com/@autoshineblackpool/videos

Sadly the business has shut up shop so it doesn't upload any more, but some very satisfying videos of absolutely filthy cars being deep cleaned on there.

That’s a real shame as he seemed like a decent bloke.

Dr pimple popper on one of the freeview channels is weirdly fascinating. And a huge indictment on the USA healthcare system.

Well chuffed with the newest iteration of my desk setup. Much neater than before.

Featuring my assistant, who screamed at me the whole time I assembled the new monitor mount.
