That is possibly even funnier!

@daveproudlove.bsky.social I’m looking at the proposals for local gov reorganisation and I’m having a laugh at option 5!

Catching up with @maryannehobbs.bsky.social ‘s Bowie show from Sunday. Amazing listening!

Really pleased to see These New Puritans in the top 5. Stunning album and they were brilliant live in Manchester!

I played that too. Mani’s bass on Kowalski is fabulous. It’s so sad and hard to take it. Feels like I’ve lost a mate 😢

Oh no! He’s done an amazing job second time round with NI with such a young team

I still love him! Top manager!

The latest Unclassified with @elizabethalker.bsky.social was exceptional. The Bryce Dessner track was stunning and as town planner working in Warrington, there was something particularly special for me!

Really looking forward to seeing them in Manchester in November!

Very impressed how calm and assured he looked yesterday. Phillips got a huge ovation when he came on. Loaning them two is the least you can do after you ripped us off selling us Kevin Wimmer!

Looks like less cover on the right to me?£

Thomas? Bocat?

What a brilliant day’s cricket!

We are coming over in a couple of weeks and staying just outside of The Hague. Our kids are 11 and 13. Can you recommend any good rides? We have been up and down the coast previously. I reckon we could do up to 50k max in a day.

Beth, Iggy, Anne-Marie then Lionesses!

My daughter is very excited for Charlie xcx!

Listened to Ezra collective on way home and now enjoying Beth Gibbons! are you watching?

They were brilliant! Im about to calm things down with Beth Gibbons. Ps this made me laugh 😀

Another weekend visit to Stoke on the train and bike to trentham, hartshill and back to Stoke. Easy ten mins from station to Stoke ground on bike. 10 more mins to Trentham. 15 mins from Trentham to hartshill. Less than 10 minutes from hartshill to the station. Bike is the way forward!

Not sure it’s a pre-match venue though Dave! Good to see though!

I’m your man Dave!

Listen without prejudice is a wonderful album. Older is brilliant too

That sounds positive. It would take something special to stop me going to the glebe before a stoke game though!

I was thinking more the bars and retail space. No doubt Avison Young have vacated space elsewhere in the city? Although it’s near the train station it’s effectively an out of centre development.

It will be interesting to see who takes the commercial space in the Goods Yard development as despite being near the station it is still in a very odd location.

If Hanley was nearer the train station I’m sure i’d go. I think Stoke’s geography of being 6 towns means its centre is lightweight compared to other cities.

Really interesting read that Dave. Considering I got to stoke on average once a week, I don’t think I’ve been to Hanley in over 15 years. I find that incredible and depressing.
