Hats off to the US golfers. The fans? An embarrassing joke - hurling abuse rather than supporting their team, & leaving before the end when they lose. Can't take it, can they? Pathetic. Proud to be European! #rydercup #teameurope

Right, time for Europe to put the Americans to the sword. No mercy. #rydercup #goeurope

Great first day...but beware the wounded egos of the US. Still, orange man probably hated the way that went, so that's another positive!

🤦‍♂️ oh, come on...you want Trump & his loyal lapdogs to win?! I thought you Aussies had more class than that!

Yes, of course...but if you're not a US national, how can you possibly want Europe to lose?! 🤷‍♂️

I'm desperate for a win! Like never before...

I'll take that. My fingers are butten to nubs, but Europe up by 3 points. Phew. #rydercup #teameurope #goeurope

Anyone know of a worse golfer than Justin Thomas? Just wondering...

These are the people that voted for Trump, though, so I wouldn't hold your breath! 😂

Whatever happens, the European team are just wonderful - full of passion, character & togetherness. #teameurope #rydercup

OK, I'm nervous... #rydercup

Lots of musical thoughts to catch up on as I've been away for a while...starting with: the new Amorphis record...only one spin through admittedly, but I found it disappointing. Lacked bite, perhaps.

I'm alive...just scaling back on my social media...but not right now, as Europe have the Ryder Cup to retain!

Never, ever, have I been more desperate for a European win in the Ryder Cup. Come on Europe! #rydercup #teameurope

Back from my Greek holiday - here's what I listened to in the lead-up & whilst away, just to maintain the tradition! #metalsky

Interrupting my Greek holiday to wish Son Heung Min all the very best. You are a Spurs legend & someone that every other club could only wish they had. A wonderful human & a legend. Get him back when he retires...ambassador, coach...anything. #lovesonny #bestever #COYS

That's brilliant! Glad you like it - wait until you've heard it about 10 times & you really feel the power, the melodies...& then it's played live & tears run down your cheeks. For me, it's just immense.

Iotunn - Kinship - album cover

If you're still wondering what the best album of 2024 was, then let me save you the trouble. All other answers are wrong. More wrong than a wrong person from Wrongchester...or Trump. Or Arsenal. Or my kids. So there! 😝 #AOTY2024 #metalsky #peerless @iotunnofficial.bsky.social #lovethisband

Last week's listening. #metalsky

How's life treating you, @aussieguy68.bsky.social? Ponting no longer 2nd in the all-time list & now the Lions...feeling ok, bless you?! 😂😂

RRRROOOOOOOOOOTTTTTT!! Joe Root, what a legend. And to overtake Ponting, too - that's sweet. Very sweet! Second-highest all-time leading test run scorer - next up, Tendulkar... #Englandcricket

Had a listen to this...it's great you like it, kudos for a musical mind more open than mine!! But definitely not for me. Too unhinged, whacky...& saxophone, the ear-killer sealed the deal for me! 😂

What the?!....who in the UK wants to listen to Ricky Ponting on Sky Sports?! Urgh...my ears, my ears...

RIP, Ozzy. Thank you for helping to invent and shape the music that, aside from my children & family, has been the most important thing in my life. It doesn't bear thinking about where I might be right now without your influence looming large in my life within so many bands & their music. #metalsky

Yes indeed - delighted to have met them a few times & shared a beer or two with them! I mean, it's the law, right?! 🤷‍♂️🤔😂

Kingcrow - "The Persistence" - cover artwork

Forgot momentarily just how good this band are. Silly boy. Kingcrow - "The Persistence" #metalsky #nowplaying #progmetalsky

Having a listen...it'll need more spins, but it's good - perhaps not melodic enough when they do inject melody, but worthy of another listen at some point, for sure. Thanks for the tip.

Last week's listening, for those that enjoy such things... #metalsky
