CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@paco Just checked and there’s still missing pictures on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cetaceans that are worth checking out.

@paco This film brings back memories of working in a video store (we did DVDs and games too, but mostly still VHS).

Everyone was utterly captivated. We had to run the latest blockbusters on the in store screens, and for this cycle having Godzilla on at closing would extend working by 10-15mins as we had to shoo everyone out.

Luckily, in the same release cycle was Spice World, whack that on 20mins before closing and boom, shutters down and out the door bang on 10pm.

@paco we saw a bunch of corvids picking at road kill the other day and I started singing “carrion my wayward son”

@paco ooooh turkey vultures.

Let’s hope there’s a load of turkeys becoming carrion in 2026.

@paco Were you about for the weird rules they started enforcing in their pubs?
Using an electronic device or swearing could get you barred.
No shaved heads & no leather jackets.

The owner is pretty much universally regarded as a bit of a knob.
