I braved the storms in Belfast and did some grafiti whilst a man from Ulster took a photo.

Here’s some more photos…

I absolutely can, and absolutely am popping to Brussels for Moules-Frites for half a day and hitting country 53.

One of my favourite films growing up… Herbie.

I’m just reading about GisΓ¨le Pelicot. What a remarkably brave woman she is.

I can’t even begin to comprehend what she and her family have been through.

Crazy to think there could be 30 other families out there living with a rapist.

I guess we like what we like don’t we. I will be happy with a bit of time off it… because I’m not that good at it πŸ˜‚

Commentators happy
Ref happy
Scouse fans happy

What could have been with that final attack. Whistle blown too soon.

Still, I’ll take the point against a great Liverpool side. #nufc

First #hyrox session at the new gym. Not done a lot of cardio whilst doing #CrossFit so it was a bit of a shock.

More like I was used to at Sweat Shed and I think I held my own. So, happy.

Main focus is dropping 28lbs now.

I’ve passed it so many times but never been in Ca Phe Viet in Ancoats so went in for the first time today.

The staff were friendly and the food was great.

I will certainly be back πŸ‡»πŸ‡³

Frustrations…

Should you be heading over to BlueSky from Twitter?

I've pontificated this and thrown up some views on LinkedIn.

I went to bed after the Stones goal and thought there would be more.

Another good win for #oafc and closing the gap on the goal difference.

Barnet seem to be getting over their wobble… let’s see what happens to York.

I'm doing a review of BlueSky.

What do you think so far in terms of the quality of content and interactions you've been receiving?

Is there anything you'd change or like to see more of?

What do you think in comparison to Twitter / X?

Let me know and I will try my best to include your thoughts.

Petition: Call a General Election I would like there to be another General Election. I believe the current Labour Government have gone back on the promises they laid out in the lead up to the last election.

Crazy that this has over 2.2 million signatures… more crazy when you consider about 30m people vote.

My post on LinkedIn last week about splitting up Google got picked up by LinkedIn news and for me, I got a fair number of views and interactions!

I've nothing interesting to say this week though so it won't be repeated.

I’m quite distraught to report that the app for my robot Hoover has been deleted from the App Store and now will no longer work.

Thank the Lord for Black Friday.

Have a good week everyone.

Good morning #oafc fans.

Let’s hope Rochdale end up as miserable as the weather this morning.

What are your predictions?

Rochdale 1 - 3 Oldham

Those of you who have been stupid enough (like me) to brave the ice rink that is #Manchester - I salute you.

Seven almost slipped in incidents for me… but didn’t go over πŸ₯Ά

Should have worked from home.

I’m the same but with gluten.

I just wanted a couple of normal custard cremes. What harm can they do?
