11 - No more solo Gid, no more solo Riley, no more Keaveney - all replaced on 6 by identikit millennials who to a person cannot pronounce the letter 't'. Harrumph.

1. dg writes: Never risk a surely.
2. Not a patch on original Knives Out but was very enjoyable. This may be due to my Ana de Armas bias.
4. I experienced that once and it was in a house we owned !
24. How depressing, roll on 2024.

27. Yes! The only thing more annoying is when you find out these higher rate accounts exist and nobody told you.

16 - More 'encouragement' to carry a tracking device, but as someone pointed out, it gives 'the authorities' less incentive to cut off the electricity - because they can't keep tabs on us.

when do you find the time to do all this stuff ?

13 - It's Hannah Waddingham, and I, too, thought it was a brilliant show.

18) I think you may have been delayed by the emergency water main works on Blake Hall Road - on Friday the High Road was jammed all the way down to Harrow Green.

8. On the basis of watching Magpie Murders, via Britbox, I started to buy Anthony Horowitz's other fiction and have really enjoyed them (the other Susan Ryland and the ones where he's in the story).

18) New cycle tracks from Green Man roundabout down/up to the McDonalds - we rode the first bit last Sunday and it's a massive improvement.

13 - the BBC pulled off a joyous, colour-filled, bonkers, slick, camp, exultant Eurovision on behalf of Ukraine. Even though friends and family mock me, it's an annual TV highlight. Always such an antidote to the Cowell-genre cynical exploitative shows, I hope Mae is getting the support she deserves, and trust no broadcaster will ever again let Mel Giedroyc prattle over the climax of a show.

6. If the passing of the crowned monarch's grandmother (as happened 70 years ago) did not cause any delay, I fail to see why some (minor?) precipitation would.

19 - How _anyone_ can think those new departure boards at Euston are an improvement is beyond me. They show far fewer trains than the old ones, face the wrong way and are just more confusing. But I'm sure someone, somewhere, who probably doesn't travel from Euston, is getting a pat on the back and a bonus...

16. Huge bugbear of mine. Happy to have additional security for bank accounts or somewhere else you could be a victim of fraud. But having to do this for utility bills or my Vodafone account really annoys me.
Vodafone especially where you need TFA but if you are abroad and can’t access 4G then you can’t sort your account to enable roaming…

15. Bruce will always be better than Kay.
19. They are too small and a challenge to read at a distance. A shame.
29. The problem with you mentioning it, is that someone will now change it and this little 'old school' joy will be gone.
31. Well, Manhattanhenge was 29/30 May, so won't be that.

9. I made a rare excursion down to Croydon this month and was also delighted to see Roger, although your pessimism seems warranted, given yours is the only Twitter account to have used the #LoveYourTram hashtag this year.

3. FYI, WH Smiths and supermarkets still sell magazines.
14. The way things are going that'll be me fairly soon!
17. Exactly
21. One year on I've still not ridden on the Elizabeth line!
24. Hope so but the likely alternative isn't exactly filling me with confidence either.
27. Having to open a new account to get the better rate irritates me so much! Why can' they just apply the better rate to your existing account(s)?

11. Some rationale, however debatable, may accompany most current BBC roilings, but the defenestration of Rev Coles from Saturday Live is incomprehensible.
13. A complete triumph. A delight.
19. A benevolent god would mandate digital split-flaps with digitised split-flap sounds for all public transit displays.

5. We had a water pipe outside our house go pop a couple of years ago. Unfortunately it was right next to a poorly insulated electric spur so that went pop too. Even after the electrics were repaired, the hole remained full of water - so I'm just pleased I've got a backup socket from the solar panels in case I need an emergency cuppa.

I love the 'unblogged' posts at the end of each month. Such variety, such intrigue - all good.
9 - I confess Roger the Crocodile has a dubious other meaning to my gutter-mind. I recall Roger used fairly regularly as a verb in Blackadder

16. Simply awful technological 'progress', especially when you are doing things on an Oyster account on someone's behalf. An Oyster account doesn't need the same level of security as your online banking account.
29. I do wonder when/if the maps inside tube trains have been updated to include Crossrail's cross-London section now that that has been open for a few months.
