my favourite suggestion for what to do with the space the colston statue was in is to put up a statue of Brian Steele on a lovely carpet-covered plinth

luckily the colston hall was already changing its name when they open after refurbishment

that would have been an utter ballache to push into the river

Good to see, this has needed doing for ages

THE LIVING ROOM

coming to theatres at some point I'm sure

Ooh, new Seiko 5s

40mm case, no bezel

Not 100% sure on them, they feel like they should be field watches but still have the very dive watch styled indices. Bit like the BB41 in that respect but I suspect they'll grow on me

up tesco all the checkouts are surrounded by plexiglass so it looks like they're all in fish cages

on the plexi is a sign saying "please do not touch the glass"

I was so tempted to add "it startles the staff"in sharpie or something

put a gonk on it

has anyone ever used the phrase "you're playing with fire" and not been immediately mocked for it?

Got to admit all these pride flags are getting a bit confusing to keep track of

I mean, what on earth is this one? 🇧🇪

further correction: turns out there was another one hidden out there at the time that we caught on the IR camera from a different angle

SIX HEDGEHOGS! WE HAVE NO LESS THAN SIX HEDGEHOGS! 🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔

correction: 2 on one side, 3 on the other!

FIVE HEDGEHOGS! 🦔 🦔 🦔 🦔 🦔

running from one side of the house to the other because we've got two hedgehogs having a munch on both sides!

FOUR HEDGIES! 🦔 🦔 🦔 🦔

hedgehog!

my european, mayonnaise-coloured ass doesn't really have anything of value to add to the discussion, but I hope all the people out there can stay as safe as possible under the circumstances

also, the only blue life that matters is cookie monster

the collective noun for a group of hedgehogs is a "prickle"

a prickle of hedgehogs!
