Ah yes, slipped my mind.

That would also mean that I didn't see Drive Like Jehu twice the year before.

Saw Blumfeld in Sheffield on the same bill as Pavement and Mercury Rev. Quite a night, that was. 1995 ISH?

Are you getting post delivered still? Local news here reported last week that delivery staff have been told to prioritise parcels. We're getting one delivery of letter post per week now.

Bescot could be unpleasant on Saturday if the performance is as bad as most recent games.

Good result. At this rate the playoffs are more than possible?

Mate of mine had his hearing aid batteries confiscated by O2 security. I wish I was joking.

Distant phone-scoped Little Owl in west Warks this morning. There's a second Little Owl in the photo, honest.
A walk I've been meaning to do for a while and one I'll be repeating.

State run maybe. One of the biggest disasters of rail privatisation was the handing over of the rolling stock to the private sector for a pittance.

Got one - Create and Flood History.
The only other one I can find is an alternative name for Toel Now.

There's at least one song in the Hood back catalogue that was released under two different names. I'll have a dig and see if I can remember which one it was.

28.01.2026 21:05 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

So there's hundreds of titles for the same song? Can anyone remember what it's actually called?

It was terrible. I can't see where the next goal is coming from. Lots of players working hard but devoid of any inspiration.

I think fans are weary after last season. It'll take a series of decent results to get the hope back. Fingers crossed.

That's the impression it created.

Your lads put in a decent shift. We've been caught on the counter so many times this season and there were a few spells where it looked likely to happen again.

We seem to be less than the sum of our parts at the moment.

Your no.10 was getting some verbal in the first half. Didn't see what he'd done when Flint got booked but I don't think I've seen Flint react like that before.

Say no to Palantir in the NHS NHS England is rolling out software to run our health records from Palantir - fight back

🚨 NHS England is rolling out Palantir software for our health records - handing huge power to a US firm with a track record in surveillance, military technology and human rights abuses.

Drizzly wander around RSPB Middleton first thing (lots of water and Mute Swans, no sign of the more interesting birds of recent days - Grey Partridge etc).

Hurley STW was far more productive - Yellow-browed Warbler (lifer), several Chiffchaff including a very grey bird, Stonechat, Yellowhammer.
