@AnneTT I like the "I am insured" bit. Stedman is very musical in its way but a pig to fix if someone goes wrong ๐
This delightful item says it all really about #BrexitHasFailed. Naturally, it's imported.
@bagpie looking at your profile, my wife remembers Bobby Watson doing the Highland Fling whilst accompanying himself on the Highland pipes while in his 80s to amuse the students at the St Andrews RSCDS summer school!
@peterwhisker @r_mccormack I pretty much live on the stuff when Iโm over there, love it.
@peterwhisker @bagpie did you just have my lunch?
I went to watch the Banshees of Inisherin this week. What an amazing, funny, and poignant film. Brendan Gleeson and Colin Farrell are so good together.
Remembering all those lost in conflicts โค
This is so true!

SEXY CAMPANOLOGY
Sir, Regarding your article โA peal goes out for trainee #bellringersโ (Oct 22) can I add my support and suggest readers hie to their nearest active bell tower tomorrow. Two months into my own training I can vouch it is the most extraordinary experience. You make music without being a musician, connect with your heritage, learn arcane bell-language, commune with ringers and get a very respectable upper body workout into the bargain. When you pull just right, and the bell swings just right, it feels out of body, like youโre swinging up with it; itโs gently pulling you and youโre gently pulling it. Well, itโs sexy.

Iโm going to start sharing a photo every day. Todayโs is from a trip to Dublin in May, and shows the Samuel Beckett bridge by Santiago Calatrava, one of my favourite architects. #travel #dailyphoto #photography #dublin
Laughing at those who fought for Brexit, but now can't accept the consequences.
I've just noticed the Mastodon API uses British English spelling ๐
@freemo is there a plan to get any of the nice features such as Domain follow into the main Mastodon trunk repo so that you can more easily keep qoto.org at a recent software version. Mastodon is on version 4.0 while qoto lags on 3.3 I think.
Just had a lovely evening chatting with a Ukrainian doctor to help improve his conversational English and to introduce him to Laphroaig ๐ฅ and Youngs Winter Warmer ๐ป
