Holden's gone full Granny's Garden

This thread is already stale, but at yeast we're getting some puns out of it.

Oh, looks like I've got him on the bench. Terrific.

Zirkzee winner tonight? STOP THE COUNT!

We've got smart meter installation booked in for the end of the month so obviously I'm delighted to hear it's gone wrong for so many people. Tbf the smart meters at our old place (same neighbourhood) worked well so hopefully at least the area itself isn't cursed like with Renton.

Get yourself down to the Convention Centre and unleash your inner Jan Leeming 💃

Nice city! I've done a parkrun in the shadow of that stadium.

Some redeeming features.

Just flicking through my Goodreads (not a euphemism) and Demon Copperhead, Piranesi, Tomorrow And Tomorrow And Tomorrow, Anxious People, Young Mungo are a few recent-ish novels I've enjoyed that aren't so obscure you can't get them from Waterstones or the library. Marzahn, Mon Amour and Swimming In The Dark are very good but fall into that more obscure category. Tim Moore keeps churning out good travelogues centered around ridiculous modes of transport. I've liked everything by Chris Brookmyre in recent years (Fallen Angel, The Cut, The Cliff House etc.). I'm aware you weren't necessarily asking for recommendations but now you've got some anyway.

CCTV footage from the breakfast room at our B&B this morning:

Just had a smashing couple of days showing a German friend around the region. Tynemouth/Cullercoats/Whitley Bay, up to Cresswell and Druridge Bay, a spot of Hadrian's Wall too. Obviously the weather has helped, but still. He says he has no idea why Northumberland isn't heaving with tourists at this time of year (I know it can get busy - we couldn't get parked at Blyth of all places - but it's barely a fraction of what Cornwall and co. get), and I tend to agree. Not complaining though!

Hang on, I've just realised what Trump's crap nickname game reminds me of. Rention. manc-foplite.

Like Noah Lyles with Covid, you're just too slow

Never mind, I've just remembered Michael Johnson

Good thing Holloway won that because howay, you absolutely cannot have an Olympic track champion called something as mundane as Daniel Roberts

No medal for her tonight, but at least she can go back to her day job of asking people to select all squares with traffic lights.

Eddie Noose It's like Ted Lasso except it's Eddie for Eddie Howe and Noose because the Saudis like executing people, marra

The one on the right is the one on the left when he was 29

They claimed they stumbled across the riot and just happened to join in, and would ordinarily be opposed to far-right ideology.

You're just asking quesadillas

Pssst - that was just the qualifying. And you're only looking at one group of it.

Oh, but apparently I've chosen Alvarez. Best fix that...
