(I am trying to improve the process as I go here, so please bear with me)

I'm collecting phrases that are used in the same manner as an exasperated "for fuck's sake" in English - imagine shouting in angry frustration at a news headline - that's what I'm after

I'm initially looking for one per language, so am putting suggestions to a poll for the decision.

Current list for German is below - any obvious missing ones before I do a poll?

Are any duplicates that should be removed (I have a couple of suspicions but don't know the significance of the differences)?

ach du scheiße
Ah Scheisse
Fick die Henne
Fickscheisse
Heilandzack
Heilige Scheisse
Himmel, Arsch und Schornsteinfeger
Himmel, Arsch und Wolkenbruch
Himmel, Arsch und Zwirn
Ja Scheisse
Kreuz, Birnbaum und Hollerstauden
kruzifix
oida
sackradi
um Fickeswillen
verdammt noch mal
verfickt nochmal
verfickte scheiße
verflixt nochmal
verfluchte scheiße
zefix

Afternoon!

#sillyScribbles

Evening all. Hope your Monday has been tolerable. I found another feather folk. They seem to be everywhere at the moment.

I must away to bed, but before I go I offer heartfelt thanks to

1. the people who made filtering work on Mastodon, I needed that today, and

2. the fantastic hive mind who leap into action when asked a question about jelly blobs on trees

Sleep well all, when bedtime reaches you :dustSprite: 💤

It's my FIRST BOOP OF 2026!

As the wee robin posed so well for me today they were the obvious recipient.

Let the booping commence! :HumphStomp:

Getting late. One last silly shell picture before bed. Some happy shell pals for a bit of niceness before sleep. 'night all 💤

They know they're only meant to do the dots, but sometimes that can get a bit dull.

IT'S FRIIIIIDAAAAAAAY!

This is the 97th week in a row of the dancers making an appearance*, and they have, frankly, lost it a little. And after nearly 2 years that's saying something.

As ever, have a good weekend if you possibly can 🐟 😁

* I double-checked this time, definitely 97

And the power is out and likely to be out for a while.

Big thanks to past me for filling the flasks up so we can have a cup of tea after gathering the Power Cut Supplies together for the evening.

Now the board games await.

Stay safe all.
