  7. We have a solitary horse chestnut tree in our front garden. Most years we collect a few conkers but this year it has excelled and so far we have collected over 450 and it's not empty yet. We've never managed to collect more than this bowl will hold before but I think we might just do it this year.

  12. Another sign that autumn is here. 🍁🍂🍂🍁🍂🍁🍁🍂

    Local horse chestnut trees have started shedding conkers all of a sudden. I walked past a group of them by Jesmond Dene a couple of days ago, nothing. Walked past them yesterday - conkerpalooza all over the ground. #Autumn #Fall #Conkers

  17. A friend sent me a BBC article about a conkers controversy. No, that's not a typo for "bonkers". It's a real thing that all British people know about: bbc.com/news/articles/cp3w3151

    But when I went to read The Telegraph article referenced by the BBC look what I saw...

    That's nuts!

    Is ad-targeting really this good now? Or am I just falling for some nutty confirmation bias?

  27. I know what you will say - "Of course, we're well aware of the news of the #conkers world, who isn't?!" But maybe there are some enthusiasts of #BritishCulture out there who haven't heard the latest scandals.
    Also, first time an American won overall!

  30. As I'm fed up with politics, home, abroad, actually just about everyfuckingwhere, I decided to go look what's happening in the chess world, and any other games.

    Chess is currently rocked by another cheating scandal where a player has been kicked out of the Spanish Team Championship for using a hidden mobile phone to get computer generated assistance.

    While this is a bit disturbing, I'm more aggrieved that the Spanish Team Championship is being held in the Spanish enclave of Melilla which is actually in Morocco and is suggestive of Spain's colonial history!

    From a cheating point of view, I'm more disturbed by the shenanigans in the world of conkers. King Conker has been accused of using a steel conker, and conker string marking. There's even another Conker Organisation which allows "anything goes" conker battles including 'stampsies'!!

    End of days 😪😪
