Oh Well, *clappy hands*(!)

https://x.com/SouthernRailUK/status/2083173208929300877 I assume that remuneration will be automatically paid into all relevant accounts. No need for any of us to provide invoices for the fleet of Bentley SUV's we were forced to buy, on immediate delivery. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdxCfAb-ROM (Jump Around, House Of Pain, Official Audio, TommyBoyRecords). Seriously though.  Enough people throw themselves in front of trains each and every day that all train operating companies have extremely luxurious PTSD holibobs programs for affected drivers. So there's no need to depower a single line, let alone the entire network. If a little something wants to make a choice we won't even see it splattered across our windscreen, let alone hear it bump along our roof. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfF5k1nbxgA (Let Him Roll, Johnny Cash, Official Video, VEVO). Honestly. £90k a year, sitting at home. For two years. When one of my Mothers, as head of Musculoskeletal Trauma at the pl...

Oh Well, Thanks For Playing(!)

Obviously. I have a great many, unproven, theories about animal training. Particularly when it comes to the smaller, four legged variety who mainly interact with their environment through their mouths. So my hands and forearms aren't currently burnt red from the Sun. They've merely been overwhelmed by Puppy Kisses. I'm also actively trying not to train the Fox Kits I seem to interact with several times a day. Although I think any wild animal would be wise to be wary of any hazard it might encounter in its natural environment. Even if the greatest hazard the Fox Kits will encounter in their environment is me, when they've p'ssed me off. Anyway. A good few...

So Nothing From Any Of The London Terminals Was Able To Move South For Several Hours.

https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2026/07/ive-finally-been-to-see-my-mothers.html Which kind of sounds like the sort of thing which should've, at least, troubled a news ticker. Even if it went with the default; "Trespasser on the Network." I arrived before the Incident Commander. At the point the crowd of Police/Fire/Ambulance/Railway first responders were trying to figure out what to tell the Incident Commander when their blue lights brought them to the scene. The gossip amongst all of the passengers being evacuated covered a great many theories. Putting aside the standard suicide attempt and graffiti artists some of the more scandalous included Palestine Action and a coordinated protest by general Climate Change groups. Conducting a series of protests in and around Gatwick Airport. Having got so close to see it unfurl, amongst the first responders, though I certainly didn't see any banner or slogan. Although the whole experience does seem to have nudged me ...

But, yeah. Same company involved in the White Liquor thing. https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2026/05/you-have-to-assume-thats-similar-to.html Obviously I won't be involved in the inquiries which now seem inevitable. However I always understood that a country familiar with the way of the gods was able to engineer through; "A bit weird."  I saw it flash up on the news as I was having breakfast and sort of immediately dismissed thinking; "Normally a 7 is a bit big. However in Japan it just mean the trains will stop for a few minutes and the Gas & Electric will cut out momentarily." "Not because anything is broken. It's just what their systems are designed to do to stop things from breaking."

Yeah, I Get That Now.

I've Finally Been To See My Mothers.

For the first time since Trump & Hegseth bombed Iran. To stop Iran from having Nuclear weapons. This meant I also got to meet the new puppy! It turns out that agreeing to train a service dog is very, very different from getting a new pet. Detailing all the ways in which this very much isn't my Mothers' puppy is something I would have liked to do this afternoon. Believe it or not there are Image Rights and a Social Media policy to consider. However the Boss Cat of the house woke me up at dawn today. To remind me that I wanted to go Horse riding. On a Horse that really needs the exercise. When I finished I got on a train to go home. Never in the history of rail travel has a train gone from Salisbury to Waterloo without stopping at Clapham Junction. Just in case I was suddenly, somehow unable to read departure boards on a route I'm very used to an overly helpful/bored staff member stopped me to direct me to the correct train. The train was full but not overly full. The air...

It's Stunning How Bad At Their Jobs Some People Actually Are.

https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/iran-news/article-904200 Generally strengthening people negotiations isn't the way to get them to do what you want. So you're left with no announcement to make, no matter how desperately you want to.

Which Very Much Sounds Like Trump Doesn't Have A Disarmament Deal.

https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/article-904212 Just a strong desire to announce that he does.

Hardly An Original Idea.

https://www.tmz.com/2026/07/29/disneyland-bathroom-issue-chaos/ https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2026/07/while-ive-retaliated-against-hosepipe.html If I'd had more than 36hrs notice my gravity powered irrigation system could have been even fancier. Just with the stuff I've got laying around it might still become so. I am very tempted to go up to the exact limit of what is allowable in the letter of the law, just to f'ck with Thames Water. Although, much like the US Department of Defence, the current little prick simply isn't going to be up to the job. Meanwhile my Mothers are complaining the Horse is getting fat. Having spent the heatwaves grazing in a field with an underground stream running through it. When Wessex Water, with their vast natural aquifers, introduce as hosepipe ban. That will be a sign of the apocalypse.

You Can't Automatically Infer Guilt From That.

No Man Is An Island.

Benny Blanco, Benny Blanco, Benny Blanco!

https://www.tmz.com/2026/07/26/berlin-pride-parade-fatal-attack/ What?! Someone had to say it, it might as well be me(!) I'm certainly familiar with people born in that part of the World letting others go on assuming they're some sort of non-specific Latin American Hispanic. As the moment that illusion is broken and they're educated about Israel, the anti-Semitic abuse starts. Then, a fraction of a second later, the moment arrives where I have to start with the punching. Now, I'm not totally averse to the punching. However, apparently, no-one needs all that when we're all just trying to have a good time. Meh, hardly an unusual month. https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2019/12/khanistan-police-still-racist.html Still not a great day though(!) *tuts* It's be a lot more romantic if he just nutted up and got the f'ck over it though(!) https://www.tmz.com/2026/07/24/selena-gomez-vacation-photos/ Let's not dismiss deep-seated, historical trauma so easi...

I've Also Been Working Hard On That Problem.

https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2026/07/no-wild-animal-will-go-near-chlorinated.html By which I mean I picked up two small objects. Then put them down again. One of the objects was a large saucepan I'd been keeping in the gym. The other was a bit of a brick I had laying around outside. I put the bit of a brick in the saucepan and poured Chlorinated water over them. Initially no animal would go anywhere near them. However after the Chlorine evaporating in the sun for a while one Fox was brave enough to take a little sip. The build up of Algae, along with that Fox not dropping down dead, means they're now going through about 3 pints a day. Obviously this was driven by appeasement, rather than altruism. I thought an available supply of surface water would reduce the need for well digging. It has. However I'm now back into that moral dilemma of whether making life too easy for wild animals risks turning them into domesticated animals. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...

While I've Retaliated Against The Hosepipe Ban With A Gravity Powered Irrigation System.

https://news.sky.com/story/gatwick-airport-suffers-major-water-outage-with-people-unable-to-flush-toilets-13567089 Which absolutely, definitely isn't a fancy way of saying; "An old school 50L plastic trash can, with a *ahem* 'Pete Hegseth' in it." Generally I take a laissez faire attitude to nature.  So I'm not going to go to the trouble of digging up my lawns to overlay the soil with gravel. In order to protect the soil from desertification and allow whatever scarce rainwater there is to percolate into drinking water. However, by the same token, if my lawns are going to turn into barren, rocky wastelands. Then I'm not going to waste good drinking water in a futile effort to try and stop them. As a result quite a few of my lawns have quite a few bare patches in them. This also the result of Global Warming, but not the effect you're thinking of. In what we call Winter these days there's still not enough sunlight for grass to grow. However there is s...

Such Is The History Of The British Sector.

https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2026/07/smoked.html Although I'm struggling to grow grass in my green haven these days.

It's not quite Cricket. However it does have the central elements of Cricket, in a very watchable 100 ball dash. That's despite the current four seasons of; "Animal Control" being available on the Sky streaming platform.

Although that has morphed into a frantic search for any indication that Britain even knows it's been defeated. Beckham's certainly giving no sign that he's learned what all his predecessors failed to learn. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDCI-0_bD_U (So You Wanna Be A Boxer, Audio, Channel 4 Presents).

https://www.tmz.com/2026/07/19/justin-bieber-madonna-perform-at-world-cup-halftime-show/ It'll be interesting to see if the losing side challenge the result. Given that the length of the halftime break is established as 15 minutes in FIFA's own rulebook. Just as the length of the game is established as 90 minutes. 

Although It Does Seem To Be A More Accurate Depiction Of Events.

A Statement So Obviously Untrue It Seems To Be Intentionally Provocative.

https://news.sky.com/story/iran-war-latest-us-trump-troops-death-middle-east-13509565?postid=12099086#liveblog-body ISIL never had any ballistic missile capablity. So those ballistic missile defence forces are are clearly operating in support of operations against Iran, a powerful anti-ISIL. If the US DoD feels it is being ordered to commit treason by acting in support of declared enemies of the US then they should refuse what are, clearly, unlawful orders. 

It Has Been A Publicly Available Document Throughout.

https://news.sky.com/story/iran-war-latest-us-trump-troops-death-middle-east-13509565?postid=12098766#liveblog-body So people should be able to see and question why the US are finding the wording to be ambiguous where there is, clearly, no ambiguity.

Britain's Failure To Deliver The Pre-Agreed Outcome Was Really The Main Issue.

https://news.sky.com/story/iran-war-latest-us-trump-troops-death-middle-east-13509565?postid=12098644#liveblog-body It was more of a rushed consolation prize.

I Wouldn't Go So Far As To Describe It As A Massive Cover-Up.

https://www.jpost.com/international/article-903058 However throughout the conflict there's certainly been a concerted effort to prevent the reporting of the losses the US and its regional allies are sustaining. Prior to that forced announcement you'd almost get the impression that Iran's totally destroyed military hadn't fired a single shot. It's all very in keeping with the utter denial of reality needed to justify the US' attacks though.

However she may end up being better suited to being a scent dog for law enforcement. Obviously my Mothers aren't doing any of the specialised training. They're just covering the first year of basic puppy training. With a particular focus on socialisation and exposure to a wide variety of non-dog friendly situations. Even so. The pressure not to screw it up is immense!!!! I could probably have mentioned that sooner. If only the usual daily three pages hadn't grown to closer to six pages in two years. Two years in which I've become seriously starved of hard news.

Absolutely None Of My Usual Morning People Bothered To Watch It.

https://news.sky.com/story/trump-alleges-chinese-election-interference-in-address-to-nation-13564219 However this all seems to be the dissent that Christopher Porter wrote to the 2021 consensus report. Something which was published publicly at the time and hasn't grown any more credible since. If anything it should give Trump pause to think about why he surrounds himself with absolute losers. As he desperately tries to force through his voter suppression measures, as if it's his only chance a the mid-terms. The 2020 Election was clearly stolen. However the lunatic conspiracy theorists Trump is still surrounding himself with even managed to lose that argument.

Yeah, I Had To Buy Yet Another Mp3 Player.

I'd like to say that Jay Z's Vol.3 album caused the existing one to die of shock. However the truth is I was listening to that album with it in my pocket when I leaned over a walk to rip up some Ivy and; "Crunch!" I didn't actually break the screen. However I did completely destroy the display unit behind the screen. Meaning that listening to songs on shuffle is all I can do with it now. Although I do buy them on the assumption they're disposable I would have preferred it to last longer than it takes for the protective film to peel off on its own. The new one comes with a, frankly ridiculous, 90GB internal memory. So I'm trying rationalise it by telling myself I've invested in another 64GB MicroSD card for the Trail-Cam.

A Big Day Of Protest.

Intentionally Violating A Ceasefire Is A Dangerous Activity.

https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/iran-news/article-902204 Given how it fits in the with overriding theme of corruption I was hoping to be given a link to it. Ultimately though the entirely false information being given out by the UN's International Maritime Organisation doesn't endanger my life. So why should I go look for it. However if I was doing a risk assessment I would give much prominence to the fact that under the MoU the US has agreed that the Strait of Hormuz can only be used in coordination and with permission from Iran. 

The US Not Liking The MoU It Signed Is Hardly The Same As Iran Not Adhering To It.

The CIA Really Shouldn't Have Tried To Mitigate Trump's Defeat In The First Place.

Why Are They Still Posing A Question That, Surely, Even He Must Know The Answer To By Now.

And Hegesth Will Still Be Just As Much Of A Useless Little B'tch Boy Tomorrow Morning As His Was This Morning.

It's Mainly Just Showboating For The NATO Summit.

And Did They Actually Bother Read The MoU Before Issuing This Latest Guidance?

https://news.sky.com/story/iran-war-live-strikes-us-military-sites-trump-strait-of-hormuz-bahrain-kuwait-13509565?postid=12020290#liveblog-body As their previous guidance for civilian ships to violate the ceasefire was pretty reckless. Hardly befitting of a UN agency. 

Because It Was The Objective Of Using Civilian Ships To Violate The Ceasefire Earlier In The Day.

https://news.sky.com/story/iran-war-live-strikes-us-military-sites-trump-strait-of-hormuz-bahrain-kuwait-13509565?postid=12020067#liveblog-body It's a bit weird they felt they needed a pretext. Given they didn't bother with any sort of pretext when they attacked Iran in the first place. 

I'll Abide By The Sit & Watch Order For As Long As It Stands.

They'll Struggle To Find A Judge Who Doesn't Think Justice Is Done In Their Courtroom.

A Man Out Of His Depth In A Reflecting Pool.

https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/iran-news/article-901822 Perhaps the Gulf Co-Operation Council might take pity on him and help to exert pressure on its membership to end these repeated violations of the MoU.

Today is a New Day.

Wednesday July 8th 2026 (8/7/26). Let's see how people cope on a day without football matches. My guess is it will resemble scenes from a zombie movie. 

Everyone Seems To Be Taking Shots Online These Days?

https://www.dailymail.com/lifestyle/article-15958729/breast-plate-metal-chrome.html

Oh, I Noticed The Watermark Immediately.

https://www.dailymail.com/lifestyle/article-15957429/taylor-swift-travis-kelce-wedding-invitation-msg-revealed.html It's why I didn't post mine online(!)

You'd Think General Bonespurs Would Want To Take A Much Tougher Line Against Such Violent Conduct.

The US World Cup, Wimbledon & A NATO Summit.

https://news.sky.com/story/iran-war-latest-trump-qatar-talks-witkoff-kushner-13509565?postid=12017525#liveblog-body That's not Climate Change you're experiencing. It's friction from all the IQ points dropping.

A Clearly Coordinated Violation Of Article 5 Of The MoU.

https://news.sky.com/story/qatari-tanker-hit-as-it-travelled-through-strait-of-hormuz-13561225 At a time I thought the mystery of who commands Trump's plane(s) had been solved long ago. You'd almost get the impression someone's trying to beat the bushes. Next it'll be penalties(!)

I'm Pretty Sure The Navy Use Stuff Heavier Than Tanks.

https://www.tmz.com/2026/07/06/king-charles-rides-british-army-tank/ While the Air Force have got stuff to pick up tanks and move them around. 

Oh Well. Seeing As They're Feeling An Urgent Need To Discuss It.

https://www.tmz.com/2026/07/06/president-trump-claims-he-didnt-tell-fifa-to-revoke-folarin-balogun-red-card/ I'm inclined to let the pre-agreed outcome go ahead anyway.

Still Not As Big A Fool As Harry Kane's Making Of Everyone Though.

https://www.tmz.com/2026/07/06/jordan-henderson-injured-during-celebration/ 

Even People Who Still Believe In The World Cup Knew It Would Be An Entirely Academic Discussion.

https://www.tmz.com/2026/07/06/belgium-appeals-folarin-balogun-decision/ They had to get Spain & Belgium fired up somehow though. It would have been really embarrassing if all the top teams had walked away in the round of 16.  

The Notion That Anyone Would Get Upset About Missing Episodes Of; "FBI International."

https://www.thereviewgeek.com/fbiinternational-s3e3review/ When you could be watching Sydney Sweeney in; "Reality" (2023). As they very clearly have. https://one-chicago-fbi.fandom.com/wiki/Amanda_Tate It's so clearly a show for old people to watch in syndication it actually feels a bit weird watching the episodes in order.

He's Still Alive Though.

https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/article-901697 So it's not a bait worth taking. 

Today is a New Day.

Tuesday July 7th 2026 (7/7/26). And I hope I never find anything to say about it. 

Perhaps They Can Award Him A Meaningless Last-Gasp Penalty.

https://news.sky.com/story/world-cup-live-england-germany-klopp-pubs-latest-13535760?postid=11991598#liveblog-body I expect a full, 2,000+ word, socio-political analysis at the final whistle(!) https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2026/02/patriots-vs-ice.html

I Doubt The Temperature Sensor On My Trail-Cam Is Particularly Accurate.

https://news.sky.com/story/uk-weather-parts-of-country-braced-for-another-heatwave-as-temperatures-could-soar-to-30c-13560092 However the highest temperature it's recorded is 44°C. If true then that is the hottest temperature I've ever experienced in real life. Excluding cooking stoves and incidents which left permanent scars.

Hmm. I've Found An Interesting Fox Related Flickr Album.

https://www.tmz.com/2026/07/02/11-year-old-plows-through-crowd-of-buddhist-monks-with-truck/ That does look rather a lot like the pick-up truck used in the 2026 Super Bowl Half-Time Show. 

That's Actually Pretty Chilly.

https://www.tmz.com/2026/07/02/zohran-mamdani-asks-new-york-residents-to-set-air-conditioners-higher/ It works out at around 25℃. When my house gets that cold I put a jumper on. It's about that now and I'm wearing sweatpants and a hoodie. It's a shame that fool in South Carolina doesn't realise that leaving the door open is making their house hotter than the temperature the Air Conditioner is set to. Apart from the environmental and financial implications it's just a complete waste of f'cking effort.

Today is a New Day.

Friday July 3rd 2026 (3/7/26). Hmm, we seem to have slipped into Summer Silly Season early. Not that I'm ever going to complain about there not being much going on. 

Yeah, I Had To Buy A New Tablet.

The touchscreen on the one I've been using every day for over a decade has got a lot of dead spots. Funnily enough they're all in the areas I use most frequently. At least Prime Day made it about 40% less painful than I'd been budgeting for.
