Twin brides for twin grooms - fifty years after a rare event in Coventry Susan and Linda Woolfall married Clive and Chris Davies in 1974

Having a pair of twins myself, my attention was caught looking through an old copy of the Coventry Evening Telegraph about twins from Wyken marrying another set of twins from Wales. Managed to track down the family fifty years on and spoke to one of the brides for a follow up article πŸ‘°β€β™€πŸ‘°β€β™€πŸ€΅β€β™‚οΈπŸ€΅β€β™‚οΈ

Anyone remember playing Fouling Football as a kid?

Basically a near lawless version of the game which essentially gave the right to the stronger players to kick the weaker ones without consequence.

You know what the kids call it these days?

Brexit Football...

I hate that VAR is being used to actively look for reasons to rule out goals/pen decisions. More goals = more entertainment and a more accessible sport. Blows my mind they're using it like this

She's obviously had a really tough day at work. Kudos to her for not reaching for the wine glass instead!

Off on a jolly this weekend to Bridlington with my friends.

@paulheatonsolo.bsky.social at Brid Spa on Friday night, a few beers early Saturday, then off to watch Brid Town v AFC Emely before a pub crawl round the town in the evening!

Any pub suggestions - let me know!

PS Paul, fancy a pint?

The Hendrix link is obviously probably a myth, but it's a fun one!

Theory suggests Jimi Hendrix is behind Coventry's parakeet population The late star's sister has her say after numerous sightings of the bird in the Longford and Aldermans Green area of the city

Apparently, Coventry has a thriving parakeet population, particularly around Longford and Coundon. I wrote about the situation while working I'm journalism for the Coventry Telegraph:

Hi BlueSky.

My first post here - I'll try and post only interesting things!

I was in bed early Saturday morning when my 8 y/o twin boys come in shouting about a green bird in the garden

'Go and take a photo,' I said sleepily.

These are the photos they captured:
