Curmudgeon with hobbies: witty banter, UK canals, Britcoms, Sci‑Fi, tech overlord, history wizard—and any meal I don’t have to cook.

My favorite episode - and Dad's too...😊

@AdrianEdmondson It doesn’t even need to be dusted off before use.

Had to stop and take this picture on the drive home tonight. I don’t recall ever seeing a sunset this pink.

One more day as someone who’s not acting their age, despite my near-white hair clearly getting April Fooled into thinking it. But I’m still not buying it.⏳🤣🎂

If you can’t take it with you, then don’t go.

Anyone want some snow? I just got a new shipment in. 🌨️

[Captain Arlo @captain_arlo]

Last month’s foot of snow finally melted… so naturally, winter’s sending another foot this weekend to celebrate. ❄️

@rainbowlollies My grandmother was a voracious mystery reader. Her friend ran the local library and slipped her new books before they were even cataloged. Grandma returned them days later—every one finished. Even Evelyn Wood would’ve wished she could read that fast. 😁

Cupid walks into a bar.
Bartender says, “Shot?”
Cupid says, “Already did.”

Friday the 13th walks into a bar. Bartender says, “Why the long face?”
Mirror behind the bar cracks up.

@RetroMoviesDB Make breakfast.

Wow, 34°F (1°C)! Almost warm enough to complain about.

@MbarkCherguia With the rarest exception, any comedian who vanishes once you remove extreme crude subjects, ideology, comedic vanity, and weak timing, delivery, or creativity is not funny.

I remember winters when, after a long cold snap, the town pond would be packed with skaters. This winter? Not one person in sight. ☹️

The man was a NJ icon. 😞

@rainbowlollies Glad to hear 2025 was a such a good year for you. Happy New Year and hoping 2026 ranks as good or even better!

[Captain Arlo @captain_arlo]

Wishing all my friends in the UK and Canada a very Happy Boxing Day!

Over Christmas, I’ll watch my favorite specials. Just realized my top 3—Scrooge (Alistair Sim), Blackadder’s Christmas Carol, and A Christmas Carol Goes Wrong—are all based on the same story. It only took a visit from the Ghost of Christmas Specials to reveal it to me. 👻

There’s nothing like wriggling on your back under a pre-lit Christmas tree with a voltage tester, hunting for that one bulb nestled deep within the branches that the cat managed to loosen.
