No idea how we've done that, but very welcome. We'll played Foakesy #3Feathers

Thats much more like it #UTB

5 nil at half time. Most fun I've had at #ColesPark for 3 seasons. Now rest some legs for the #FACup on Saturday #COYB #UTB

3rd game of my season but the last before my season really gets going on Saturday. Nearly didn't come as I knew the tube would be nuclear, but its football COYB!

Loved it. Apart from the result. I'm hoping you progress in the Vase & Sloughs Trophy fixtures fall kindly so I can come again before April, when I next have you pencilled in. You're doing great work

The jalopy passed. Couple of advisorys which they asked if I wanted priced up. I pointed out we'd done less than 2000 miles in the last year so we'd probably cope till next year

Really enjoyed Fantastic 4. With that and Thunderbolts really feels like Marvel have a bit of their mojo back

Its only step 5 and above you can't have a drink while watching the game

You chose to play. Isn't there a village looking for you? They have been missing their idiot for days

You chose to play

Then she could have pointed that out without insulting me, couldn't she, you barren crone

Citizens of East London! I ventured into your part of the city today & I can tell you that you have an astonishing football club on your doorstep. It's so good. If I didn't have childhood allegiances, I'd be back at @oldspotteddog.bsky.social @claptoncfc.co.uk every week. Go! You won't regret it.

Let's play a couple of games. 1. Who insulted who 1st. She won that 1. Round 2, let's really play at insults. Let's play. If you're up for it? You will lose! Play or just block/mute me? I'm happy to go whatever you choose

Proper football. You'd love this @londontom.bsky.social

I rant and rail against top flight football all the time, but because the Woolwich have a friendly today there is a lovely vibe around Holloway/Highbury today. Mums, Dads, kids everywhere. Its glorious

OK, let's football youtu.be/WCm3bS6wXvk?...

Football is Life!

School 'thankful' after hot air balloon crashes into roof One witness said it 'looked like the people were going to fall out'

It's the school kids I feel sorry for. A balloon crashing into school is the sort of thing you'd remember your whole life and it happens during the summer break.

What a waste.

BBC among media misreportimg/exaggerating scale of asylum protests

Median protest is a few dozen, below 100.

"Usually Several hundred at a time" is false.
- should say *occasionally*
< 1/10 protests have 200 people

"Sometimes thousands"
I dont think a single 2025 protest had > 2000 people yet

authoritarian. My spelling is awful

Now its Simple Minds and thanks to @cheeseford.bsky.social I can't stop staring at Jim Kerr's crotch to see if I get a hint of the rumours

Letting the youtube algorithm have control & thought I'd go somewhere different. Started with Tears for Fears & its coming up roses. Depeche, Thompson Twins, Billy Idol, ClassicU2. 80s heaven!

UUK: Here's an opportunity for the best Higher Ed country in the world to cash in & recruit some of the best talent in the world, boost growth & our R&D development
Yvette Cooper & the HO: LOL, NO!

Have a lovely time on holiday with the family Simon. You deserve it

I'm going on Tuesday if you fancy a bang average Guinness or IPA and worse football. On the upside you can drink your average pint by the pitch and its only a fiver a pint

If you are in need of "life lessons" from Rachel Johnson, Julie Burchill, Giles Coren, Caitlin Moran, or Matthew Parris, then I am afraid you are lost, totally lost. We all send you our sympathies.

You know that classic Edward Hopper painting evoking isolation and despair? We used AI to make it look terrible for no reason

"The best comment was the one asking where the Royal Navy were when you need them. I'm a former Royal Marine, so the Royal Navy were on the boat."

Do you mean wars like Afghanistan and Iraq? You know, the last 2 major conflicts we entered, that were under a Labour Govt? Buzz your carer, you obviously need more drugs you decrepit old fool
