Why did the Colonial Geese get the 2 points for saying "it's Bananas" without giving a fourth clue? #OnlyConnect

Sometimes you just have to take yourself off and walk, enjoy the views, and avoid the news. #Derbyshire

I used my Credit Card in one hotel and one Petrol Station in Poland a month ago. Today my card (which is safely stored in my wallet) is used in Warsaw for 0.59 PLN. Whilst this is only about 12p I presume it's a precursor to a bigger fraud. Luckily spotted and stopped... 😬

Twenty-five years ago today @PippaD said "I Do" to me. I remain completely bemused by this fact, but extremely grateful 🥂 #silverweddinganniversary

How am I supposed to sound intelligent on X if Wikipedia is down at the exact moment I need a fact... Don't make me go to ChatGPT now... 😅

Nothing beats the blues (or squishes the toes) than a rainy walk. Especially if you go through wrong way for the first mile and add 700ft of unnecessary climb...

Twenty-five years ago today, @PippaD and I picked up the keys to our first home, a brand new flat bought off-plan. We were first in our block to move in, with a bed, sofa, dining table and wardrobe, all used, and a 14" portable TV balanced on a box. It doesn't seem a moment ago!

Imagine if you stopped teaching how democracy can legally vote itself into a dictatorship; stopped teaching how laws are changed to strip people of rights and citizenship; stopped teaching how dehumanising language leads to physical violence... 1/2

..then the next generation will not recognise those exact same tactics when they are used today. Populists sell their aggressive, exclusionary nationalism by convincing you to forget what happened last time a country went down that path. #AfD

House two up from me has lit a BBQ under the tree line that runs along the back of our gardens. Smoke everywhere. I have no doubt they have done this on purpose, same house that flies a Union Flag from their personal flag pole, and had well attended parties during COVID lockdowns

Ok I've activated the bunker, no idea what it was, but see you in 25 years 🤷‍♂️ #severealert
