They certainly celebrated at the end (as I skulked away trying to look miserable). Found a pub near to my hotel to try and warm up

My mum grew up in Malta. I'm claiming that as a win

Watching Finland v Malta. Can't help but feel the Maltese lads won't fancy it

I don't do Instagram, but my wife does, so I'll have a look

@noscoredraws.com Currently in Helsinki. Have you a Finnish or Swedish cousin with a similar gift for art, or is this one of yours?

About £8.50ish

@bileysmullet.bsky.social Black Door.

What a character. He played it perfectly

Though the Finns call mozzarella 'Moomin Meat', so they are pretty much psychos

In Helsinki. Take the rough with the smooth

Helsinki bound Airport pint, but having to make do with Wetherspoons as no other option

Wow. That's quite something

Fantastic work by the train crew and Control

Ha, yeh, seen you do that before. Mind, with some of the beers you have theyll get more than they bargained for

Plaza de España, Seville - Wikipedia

Seville. Enjoy it. Even if there is a cloud en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plaza_d...

@johnneptune.bsky.social Make sure you get to Plaza Espana, for the photo opps. They did one of the (prequel) Star Wars films there

They weren't much fun last season either.

Train delays between London and Manchester this morning, watch awful Saints performance at Blackburn, back to London via Leeds in good time to get 2135 back to Winchester, trains from Waterloo screwed. Posh family talking loudly on train back. Struggling with away games this season. Not much fun.

Ticket sorted for Shack in London. Result.

I saw they were playing together in Halifax but we are away. Hadn't seen this date, will have a look. Ta

A colleague took me off my last train. Home from work before Good Morning Britain has finished. Result.

But they are the top flavour. Others come and go, but they are consistent. I'm 52 next week and still boyish.

When we went on holiday last year, sat down in the first bar with a beer and some nuts and this song started playing. It was a fantastic moment.

Edward Phillips posters have produced 'Mileage Chart' - a map taking in over 200 UK and Irish locations mentioned in #HMHB songs, including a key to which album each appear on. Methodical. www.edwardphilips.co.uk/vintage-rail...

So swings and roundabouts then? I don't recall them, but if I have a cold, I'm willing to try anything

Yep, we had a kitchen fire from a overfilled chip pan (my brother). Also, I had smoke inhalation from an electric blanket being left on as someone was too late home (my brother). Did well to get through the late 70s/early 80s

Yeh, did think about hairspray. And also when I used to spray aerosols on matches etc...

Ah yeh, I remember that (and a dressing gown of mine burning). I guess it was the school uniform the mother was concerned about

Watching Episode 3 of Grange Hill. A mum has just said to her daughter "How many times have I told you not to brush your hair in front of the (electric) fire? It's dangerous"

Was that a thing?
