After 50+ years of attending Carrow Road, standing/ sitting in the same area of the River End with my dad and now my son, I should be really upset at this loss of continuity & belonging. However, I feel so disengaged with the club on and off the pitch right now that I can’t be arsed to argue.

Last year, my dear friend David Knowles passed away.

He was 32, and had an undiagnosed heart condition.

This weekend, the cricket team he founded will be playing a game to raise money for the BHF, to help fund their research.

Thanks Ben- glad to see you engaging so positively to such challenges. Fair points you make.
Your predecessor here in Wymondham @georgefreemanmp.bsky.social could learn a lot from you.

Two days ago, the Prime Minister said, “For too long, blockers have had the upper hand in legal challenges… We're putting an end to this challenge culture by taking on the NIMBYs and a broken system that has slowed down our progress as a nation.”
You can’t have it both ways.

And WXJL Tonight must have been written with a crystal ball: far-sighted. Am now braving the wrath of the family by putting on Reproduction. I suspect I’ll soon have the room to myself! 😂

Yep, and some really weird-shit lyrics. And you could hear the genesis of some of the later Heaven 17 stuff as well. Definitely ahead of their time and interesting to listen through the lens (can you listen thro a lens?🤪) of 45 years gone by.

I haven’t played this in ages- you’ve inspired today’s listening for me. It’s bound to reinforce my family’s view that I have weird tastes in music!

TALES FROM THE CITY: ‘Disco’ Dale Gordon

Ah, Disco Dale, a name from my youth & damn good footballer.

Brilliant! I have no idea from this piece if his team is playing well or not! I’m now trying to imagine his team talks, and the confusion on the players’ faces! A superb find, thanks for sharing. 😂

Keep seeing people say "but what has actually been done?" in *just* the first 5 months of the Labour government.
A. Tons.
Most of media (Tory supporting) are fixated on driving a daily negative narrative and not interested in highlighting the positive steps taken.
There's 4.5 years to go folks.

I used to enjoy the rough & tumble between the two leaders at PMQs. But @kemibadenochmp.bsky.social is awful. She offers no challenge to @kierstarmer.bsky.social, gifting a free hit with every question.
The lack of effective challenge weakens our democracy.
How have the Tories become so talentless?

Anyway, I must go- a quick bus ride into the city and a couple of pints before the game await!
Enjoy the game this afternoon. I’ll look out for your result. 🤞🏻

Who knows? Apparently some Spanish clubs are tracking him. If his form continues, he’ll be spoilt for choice. But that’s discounting the blistering second half of the season that we’ll have- injury free, rolling over everyone in our path and yet another promotion. (Matron….I’m having another turn!😂)
