Jim Smith

Time is an illusion, lunchtime doubly so. less time on social media but still same me, geeky stuff and bad jokes. Middle-aging dad of teenagers.

@WittyClitty Tragedy, your whimsy should always be appreciated and celebrated

One of my first introductions to America was a visit to Dollywood, what an Appalachian experience that was.

God bless Dolly Parton. Absolute legend and an angel among us. Rest in Peace Queen of Country.

[Boze Herrington, Library Owl 😴🧙‍♀️ @SketchesbyBoze]

Dolly Parton rose from poverty to stardom. She gave $500 to every student in her hometown who finished high school, she built hospitals and bald eagle preserves; her Imagination Library has gifted 300 million books to children. Roger Ebert once met her and came away thinking she was a literal angel. RIP.

@montie @Nigel_Farage It’s almost as if, like Boris, the jovial demeanour is a just a front. Once he’s convinced us to vote for him because we think he’s an nice guy on our side, he reverts to type. Arrogant, aggrieved and tetchy.

Thank god they didn’t watch Chernobyl

Happy new Prime Minister day, it seems to come earlier and earlier every year.

Right… I’ve now got to get excited about trying to come 3rd. As a Lib Dem, this feeling is familiar…🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

@donmcgowan I’m having a day off from being part of The ESTABLISHMENT, I’ve got Centrist Dad duties today. (Took rubbish to tip then went to halfords for a new pump for paddling pool).
Back to work as the MetropolitanLiberalElite* on Monday.

'I've triggered a by-election by mistake'

[Rachel Reeves @RachelReevesMP]

I will accept Nigel Farage’s request to be appointed Steward and Bailiff of the Manor of Northstead.

It is a farce and a desperate distraction, and the people of Clacton deserve better.

But if he wants to spend the summer arguing with a bin, I won't stop him.

[Jim Smith @NewCitizenSmith]

@campbellclaret @FennellJW @CountBinface As hilarious as a Binface win would be, isn’t that exactly what Farage wants? A way out of any accountability & claim it’s the fault of ‘the establishment’ Worse punishment would be to re-elect him, make him go back and do some work, and get investigated for dodgy finances.

[Jim Smith @NewCitizenSmith]

As absolutely hilarious as a Count Binface By Election win would be, isn’t that exactly what Farage wants? A way out and claim it’s a stitch up? Worse punishment would be to re-elect him, actually make him go back to work, and get investigated by Parliament for dodgy finances.

[Jim Smith @NewCitizenSmith]

An American friend of mine said exactly this. “Actually do something or lie and take credit? which sounds more like him… there’s your answer” our mistake for taking a frequent liar at his word.

[Arthur Boreman (yes, that Arthur Boreman) @ArthurBoreman]

Europeans: “I can’t believe Trump interfered with the World Cup”

Americans: “I’m not sure he actually did”

Europeans: “He says he did! He openly talks about how he got the red card overturned”

Americans: “That’s right…”

[Jim Smith @NewCitizenSmith]

Did Trump really call FIFA and get a red card ban ‘suspended’ at the World Cup? We know the Pres and FIFA were both corrupt to the core. but I thought they would at least try to hide/excuse/bs their way out of it.

[Jim Smith @NewCitizenSmith]

I believable dramatic game. That’s what football is about. Singing 3 lions at the Azteca. Well done Mexico, great game. (Now for some sleep as the sun comes up)

@Holy_Elle Happy treason day tax dodging tea vandals! 🇬🇧

@DrJaninaRamirez 👋 your fellow history fans are still here

[Jim Smith @NewCitizenSmith]

To quote a 2010 meme, I agree with Tim.

[Tim Farron @timfarron]

This is your regular reminder that World in Motion is - by a distance of several light years - the best England football song. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
