Well done on the correct pronunciation of Moët.

He seems to post a lot. Is there any interaction with anyone (other than your quote), or is he just ranting to himself?

He mostly rants/postulates to himself, but Bluesky is a slightly weird beast: notable journos etc get a lot of interaction, but lesser mortals, including people who might have a lot of FB followers and interaction there get next to no interaction on their own posts, which is partly why it's still struggling to expand beyond the tens of millions of users, as the vast bulk of users don't build up a following (I think that's a function of how basic/dysfunctional Bluesky's algorithms are). With c.650 followers I'm in the top 1% for followers on Bluesky, but rarely get more than about 4 likes and one comment for a photo post, but get typically 100+ likes and 20 comments on FB. So I'm not surprised that ranty RC gets so little interaction on his own posts.

I suspect you are more of a Pam Ayres kind of guy? 😉

It's a misogynistic scandal she wasn't made Poet Laureate.

Cruising around with my favourite suitors.
Now the wheels get entangled with my dangling hooters..."

No, too twee, and no chance of swearing. Brian Bilston, maybe. I can't be doing with haikus, but do like the limit, rhythm and expectation of limericks.
Of poetry I'm not a fan
Though don't slap Ian H with a ban
He likes random words
Like 'umbrella' and 'curds'
And also can quote the Quran.
(I'm not sure of the last point, but he is very well read, so it's another reasonable hunch, I think.)

I have discovered I can't compose limericks while listening to music.

To be fair, I think he does have a point (based on the level he apparently recruits at) and the response seems a bit OTT but there may be some previous context missing.

Social media? Context? 😜

I like this idea. For East Devon I'd rename it 'Beer' I think, as to be the "MP for Beer" would be memorable. I don't think we've got any rude or plain silly ones, though 'Shore Bottom' would get a few titters.

I think Rough Grey Bottom is in East Devon.

If it could be named after a road, we could have a Member for Slaparse Lane.
