@AnneTT I like the "I am insured" bit. Stedman is very musical in its way but a pig to fix if someone goes wrong 😉

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!

Remembering all those lost in conflicts ❤

This is so true!

SEXY CAMPANOLOGY

Sir, Regarding your article “A peal goes out for trainee #bellringers” (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 you’re swinging up with it; it’s gently pulling you and you’re gently pulling it. Well, it’s sexy.

@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 🥃 and Youngs Winter Warmer 🍻

This was my IT #geek son's response to my going onto Mastodon. Clearly out-geeked by his IT #geek dad 😂

My technical explanation of federated instances didn't help my case 🤭🤓
