A man & a dog. Come for pictures of Wilbur 🐢, stay for #Pittsburgh Sports, #mufc musings and general randomness. Ex-weatherdude. Completely preposterous, but absolutely human. Native of Manchester, now in the Democratic People's Republic of Bromsgrove.

I knew I had seen a similar thing somewhere before

Labour is a far right party

One grandfather was a chief fireman in Manchester during the war (my dad lived in a fire station as a boy), the other built Lancaster bomber aircraft for Avro (before they became British Aerospace)

I know - midfield injuries are one thing, but your collapse has been astounding. We've dropped our levels in the last few games, escaped with a few close shaves, but tonight always felt like a game where we'd lose.

Yeah. Just one of those games that felt off on paper. Poorly handled being a man up, now is the time we find out about Carrick in terms of how he resopnds to this. Villa is a huge game, go away and reset and come back from this.

They didn't do enough, too slow, just an off night really #mufc

Ref will look to even the numbers up here. Great equaliser but the vibes remain off, Mbuemo's miss was awful, big test for them here. Move the ball quickly. #mufc

I'll be impressed if we get something out of this one tonight, despite Newcastle being awful at home recently, it just has the makings of one of those nights where the unbeaten streak ends. Here's hoping I'm wrong #mufc

Post a picture taken by you (no description) to bring some zen to the timeline.

Is that the one in Mell Square? They should sell that for good money! It’s crap that a town of the size of Bromsgrove will have a single PO counter at the back of a tiny co-op!

(BTW, we’ll be over your way on Saturday as I have to return something to John Lewis’s, let me know if you’re about)

Absolutely this. I think the mood of our country changed greatly when the public - and written press - led by Simon Cowell turned music auditions on prime time Saturday night tv into a bloodsport.

One of the funniest things to come out of this are the brits who won’t leave Dubai even as it’s being bombed. One influencer adjacent guy went on a live stream on his balcony and said he’d rather be killed by Iran than go back to Wigan

Yes, that's correct

Outside of supermarkets and petrol stations, I struggle to think of anywhere I can get a newspaper on the High Street around my way if it weren’t for TG Jones. The independent newsagents have long since gone.

Our main high street Post Office from before it moved into Smiths is now a pub 😊

I see what they did there.

In Bromsgrove, they closed the main post office on the high street, moved the counters to WHSmiths, which was then taken over and now they are closing the Post Office down in the shop and we’ll probably lose the shop itself as well. πŸ™„

Apart from a sub post office, we won’t have one in the town.

Your reminder that for all the bad going on in the world right now, Channel 4 still show three episodes of Cheers back to back at this time every morning.

You don’t have to watch the news.

Calling AI "slop" has been one of the most effective instances of the public rebranding a product and it pisses them off.

For a sketch show that leans heavily on current eventsand the news of the day, it's probably on a par with the number of writers you'd get in America for a similar show.

I wonder how much they are being paid though.....

I read this in an interlude during another exciting game of fetch with Wilbur

I’m so sorry but are we still acting like this ear took an AR-15 bullet?
