Thanks to the BBC weatherman this morning saying that Storm Austen was going to be staying in the southern half of the UK ... luckily I took a brolley with me, but that's not much protection against the drivers heading up the A6, who thought it best to s… instagr.am/p/De1k2i-CLIb/

I hadn't considered a ruins theme until yesterday morning, and I nearly binned it because I really wasn't happy with it. Just over a day later, it's shaping up to be one of my favourites!

Various shop doors and other bits from yesterday's @mpcollective24 photo walk around Manchester.
The fourth picture was through a window using my ULHPro - a rubber device which sticks to the window and blocks out the light. I backed it ages ago on Kicks… instagr.am/p/Deoj_uYCFrR/
Odds & sods street photos from yesterday's photo walk with @mpcollective24
1) Photo taken through a Manchester bin and then cropped.
2) I couldn't get the angle right to see what was written on the sign.
3) More people with proper cameras.
4) Same pers… instagr.am/p/DeoiPS3iHBZ/
Various pictures of other photographers (plus one of myself) on yesterday's @mpcollective24 wander around Manchester City Centre. Deansgate Mews > St. Peter's Square > Canal Street > Piccadilly > Northern Quarter.
Tag yourself if you were there. Thanks … instagr.am/p/DeohVKLiC14/

I've always wanted to play the DOS/Amiga-exclusive Indy 500 on the Atari ST, so I spent months painstakingly disassembling the Amiga version and rewriting for for the ST with a ton of references close by.
Nah, just kidding - Claude did 99% of the work.
Absolutely mental. 😱
A few randoms from a quick wander around Deansgate and through to the Arndale Centre.
I had booked this train for the @mpcollective24 meetup originally planned for today as I had not been able to attend any since earlier this year.
But the date was cha… instagr.am/p/DeUOMMpiNqx/
I travelled down to Bristol for a few days to see some of my work colleagues.
I went up to the Clifton Suspension Bridge as it was a 20 minute walk away.
I've not seen it in 50 years (give or take a year) when I lived down there with my parents and bro… instagr.am/p/DeRJTZWiBXy/
I was visiting Bristol to see some work colleagues and on the Tuesday evening, I went for a walk up to the Clifton Suspension Bridge. It's (near enough) 50 years since I last saw it.
My Dad told me that he used to take the kids (that he looked after) ro… instagr.am/p/DeRFS3NiAdv/

I nipped to Bolton on Sunday. It was the cheapest train ticket (£6.66!). Once there I spotted a few bits and pieces to take pictures of, but this one was the funniest.
Take your bike to Bolton Interchange and see what spare bits you can get or donate! instagr.am/p/DeJ8YAUoFSF/

Last time I checked, hanging Temu Union flags on lampposts, painting roundabouts red & white, wearing a black nonce bonnet, terrorising anyone who looks a bit foreign and offensively chanting about dark-skinned people doesn’t make you patriotic. It makes you a twat.
I'm heading down to Bristol to catch up with colleagues I've not seen in a non-Teams headshot form since June 2025.
With a "happy" AI-related book to kill the time.
I'm old enough to remember the days when Rise Of The Robots meant a really over-hyped (… instagr.am/p/DeHWHQmoG1y/
A quick wander around Weir Mill and see what's there.
I didn't realise there was an open day in progress, so it was a bit crowded. I managed to grab a new book in Prologue (also rammed) and avoid the beer bus, only because it's Oktoberfest at Runaway wi… instagr.am/p/DeCJyPZiO20/

The two dumbest events of the 21st century, so far:
1. America electing Trump to a second term after the psychotic shitstain already tried to overthrow democracy.
2. The Brits voting to pass Brexit.
Bigotry makes absolute fucking morons of people who are already stupid.
One of life's many lessons, even in my older and (allegedly) wiser years, is that regardless of how wet you get your trainers whilst cleaning mud off them... never put them in the dryer to speed up the drying process!
They were quite old, and hardly wor… instagr.am/p/Dc_EByhIFkw/
