On our new kits this year, I’ll just say that one out of three isn’t a great return.

Very true. You can buy a crate of beer for around £20-£22 near us. Same price as four pints in the local.

Mr Gorilla will no doubt be invited to address the Tommy Robinson rally this weekend.

Been told there’s some thunderstorms due this afternoon, so decided to get the four miles in while it was just raining.

Lovely 👍🏻

I was a poll clerk at the election last year. Reform didn’t field a candidate in our seat and we had scores of people looking puzzled at their ballot papers, then binning them and walking out disappointed 😂

All the Facebook posts that insist pensions aren’t a benefit; like the government takes your NI contributions and puts them in an ISA for you 🤦🏻‍♂️

The people whining that 16 and 17 year olds aren’t mature enough to vote are really just annoyed that young people are less likely to vote for right wing parties.

They don’t see immigrants and gay people as threats, they hang around with these people socially

Silly stories like this are why people are turning to Reform.

Always wondered why they sell popcorn at cinemas. No better accompaniment when listening ti dialogue than a crunchy snack served in an echoey cardboard bucket

I saw a video a few years ago about the Pyongyang marathon in North Korea; looks fascinating!

Always said this when it comes to extremes of temperature; when it’s freezing cold, you can warm up fairly quickly, turn the heating up, wrap up in a blanket, that kind of thing. When it’s scorching hot though, there’s little you can do to escape it

I remember at uni once making chilli for tea, getting a pack of kidney beans (not tinned), reading the warning about soaking them first, then ignoring it and frying them for ten minutes.

The rest of that evening is something I’d prefer to forget.

With most of my runs being up and down the hills of Sheffield, the Lincolnshire coast is refreshingly flat.

From 1979, electronics retailer MAPLIN published yearly catalogues of electronic, computer, and synthesiser parts and software. The cover art looked like a cross between pulp sci-fi novels and White Dwarf magazine. Argos should have retaliated with Conan the Barbarian covers.

Started off in lashing rain, bright sunshine part way round, raining again as I got home.

What was that Crowded House song called again?

This came up on Facebook memories from six years ago.

Always makes me chuckle 😂

Reform and Brexit; neither does anything for the working classes, but it’s a change; which is why people vote for them

Definitely! And the party know that turbocharged Tory policies aren’t really a vote winner, but stamping down on immigrants is
