It's getting harder to be heard amidst the noise online, but here's a taste of what I do for a living. Please share with anyone you know who's getting married, or celebrating something (or really loves precipitation-related songs). Or maybe just share it because you think it's quite good? Thanks ❤️

I’ve worn a grubby RNLI cap for decades. I sound London, but I was born in Truro and I was a basically feral (Gen X) kid wandering the coast path with a dog until sunset for a lot of my early life. The lifeboats are in the fabric like trawlers and farms and pasties and fish and chips.

I've just donated to the RNLI. Maybe you'd like to show solidarity too?

Gal Gadot defends starring in the ‘Bitcoin’ movie which features AI sets and lighting:
“I did not want AI to have anything to do with my performance. We had to protect that […] The train has left the station. You’re going to work with it or be out of the game completely.”

There’s a good chance the cod on your child’s plate has been around the world and back. Not that you’d learn any of that from the label...

Friend worked in a hotel that had to be evacuated because guests lit a disposable BBQ in their bath. They’d even stuffed wet towels into the extractor vent because they thought *that* was the smoke detector and it will stop them being found out.
Those who think the fire alert was overkill seriously underestimate the BBQ-related stupidity of some people. A few years ago, part of a Cambridge college almost burned down because some students decided to light a disposable BBQ on the lead roof on one of the buildings. 🙄

Listen, Barry (@grumpycook.bsky.social) is doing AMAZING things in Hastings offering free food to kids whose meal vouchers have been withdrawn by the Reform-led county council who would rather save a few quid than feed a hungry kid. You can buy a pay-it-forward meal here: grumpycook.co.uk/shop/

Aw, not Sam Neill 😢 Had a summer job in my local fleapit the year Jurassic Park came out and always made sure I was in Screen 1 to watch the dinosaur reveal. Neill's reaction - the way he fumbles his sunglasses - is perfection. It's the thing that convinces us they're real. youtu.be/E8WaFvwtphY?...
