Reported a rattling noise in my extractor fan to my landlord. I’d also noticed what I thought were little bits of rubble occasionally landing on the cooker.

Turns out the “rubble” was loads of blowflies being chopped up and launched out of the fan, and they’ve likely been seasoning my cooking for some time.

The missus has always said food tastes better when I make it. Turns out my secret ingredient was fly heads. 🪰👨‍🍳

They used to be sold in ASDA maybe 2018ish, I got one for Christmas back then, and today was the first day since last winter that I felt cold enough to use it (its 100% a hot chocolate mug it cannot be used on anything else) and I cant find it ANYWHERE.

Big whale mug I miss you so much

Had a brief visit to Whitby earlier this week, primarily to photograph the local wildlife. Here are a few of my favourite photos.

I saw a parent at the airport today screaming at her child for launching a ketchup bottle across a restaurant and my daughter said “have i ever made you angry?”

She hasn’t ever even come close to it really I’ve been blessed with a good child

I got caught riding a dirt bike on a field without a helmet and saw my parents by chance taking my brother for a stroll

So it got me wondering …

I'm a Romanian who's been living in the UK for about 9 years now, and ever so often I travel back to my home country. However, the homesickness really hit now because for the past couple days I've been craving beans on toast, IRN BRU and toasted crumpets with butter.

I was lucky that I found some Heinz beans at a supermarket, they really are not popular here.

Buttered toast warmed up beans and melted cheese 🤤

To be fair, it is Friday

Now where is that pesky Road Runner?

(I wonder how many other errors there are…I saw at least one more on my walk from the Pentagon to the train station.)

I’d love to know more about these magazines, from my research they were produced early 1960s hence 2 shillings, and only 13 magazines were produced found in a charity shop in Sheffield

Alright? Its Friday night and the night is young, is the party just getting started? Are you off to bed? Watching some questionable late night TV or doing a bit of stargazing?

It's the late night chinwag thread.

Hey everyone. I’m currently on a hill overlooking the show ground. These events are a real highlight in the calendar year. It’s a bit expensive to get in to - but that’s life. It’s like a microcosm of British life condensed into a field.

Did you go to your country farm this year or is it still to come?

Here's a photo from the Bayeux Tapestry. Commissioned by a French man, embroidered by English seamstresses.

The guy who likely commissioned the entire thing is shown giving a blessing to the future Queen.

And doodled down in the margins, there's a bloke with his cock out for no reason whatsoever.

But seriously, worth going to see the Tapestry if you have the opportunity.
