Why are people born in the UK not automatically British? Is anyone British? Fuck is this shit?

I was in the Gower Street Waterstones today, asking about where to find books on neurodiversity. Got told they could be in any of three or four places depending on the type of book it is. Made me wonder, when a bookshop is that big, wouldn't using Dewey decimal be a better option? #books #bookstodon @bookstodon 📚

The Emmett Till book has got me needing to explore Black history from an American perspective, beyond my usual X and King hinterland. Remember, Black history is for every month. 📖📚 #books #bookstodon @bookstodon

Maybe they're going to announce a two state solution, a right of return, and the dismantling of UN-condemned illegal settlements? 🤔

Apart from a tiny sake 🍶 with my meal the other night, I've had a break from alcohol since NYE. Don't think that's sustainable whilst watching Everton tonight though. #football #MastodonFC ⚽️

Everton away at Palace on Thursday, giving us the opportunity to be the first team knocked out of the #FACup Third Round. 🙄

Also, who picked the live games? With the inevitable exception of Arsenal v Liverpool, absolute dogshite, the lot of them. #football #MastodonFC ⚽️

This is not a serious way to arrange #books. 📚📖 #CharityShops #bookstodon @bookstodon

So, people who know more about #cricket than me, are Compton and Gay, amongst others, signs of the renaissance of the opener, or are the pitches just too tame? 🏏 #CountyChampionship

Another one. Hey @theropologist you might think about blocking mastodon.online until they sort their shit out.

Next book is a short one. #books #bookstodon @bookstodon 📖

I wonder if the non-league pitches will have time to thaw for tomorrow. 🥶 #MastodonFC ⚽️

Still no Northern Ireland flag emoji, and the selection for Ulster seems rather judgemental. 😬

Don't understand the colander pictures, have to say.

So I'm reading The Ballad of Peckham Rye by Muriel Spark, and there's a line that Mendelssohn's Spring Song was originally called Camberwell Green, and blow me down, it only seems to be true: https://www.layersoflondon.org/map/records/174-denmark-hill-mendelssohn-s-spring-song #SouthEastLondon #books #bookstodon @bookstodon 📖

'One Nation' Tories support Rwanda Bill. Thatcher had it right all along, and I don't often say that. Tory wets are spineless, self-serving wankers. At least with the Tory right wing, you know they're cunts, but they're predictable, consistent cunts. The wets have no compass at all. They're presumably only in politics because no business would employ them. Pricks.

Bizarre #CharityShops experience just now. I picked up a complete Verdi Aida CD set, and when the woman at the till scanned it, she asked me to confirm I'm over 18. Weirdness. 💿 #Opera #ClassicalMusic

Lenses for my new glasses are £465, so I fully expect to have this power in three weeks.

These attacks should be treated as terrorism and investigated as such, and if the filth are too busy doing fuck all, use MI5. And jail those guilty for several decades. #NHS

Eyes are sore from all that file transfer bollocks this afternoon, so I'm skipping the DVD I had planned. I really shouldn't be on my phone either tbh. May well be a book and an early night.

'Can we have your email address to send you your receipt?'

'How does 'fuck off' grab you?'

Next book problems. Thinking of doing something old school.

It's a bit cold and gloomy at the Oval, so I'm in the Alcock Balcony, which never gets sun but is at least shielded from the wind and rain. I would also like to welcome our Tripod overlords to the #cricket. 🏏 #CountyChampionship

A series of tripods in the Alcock Balcony, supporting cameras, ball trackers, and assorted other analyst's kit.

Fuck me, Salome is perfect, though. I always sell it as the perfect introduction to #opera ahead of the usual Tosca and Carmen clichés. Modern, even now, challenging, doesn't outstay its welcome. Fucking magnificent music. Probably my favourite of all. Try it. 💿 #ClassicalMusic
