Lapsed influencer. Geordie (*VERY*). Arty. Amicable. Nice. Previously did football for adidas, Nike, Puma, World Soccer, Guardian, NY Times, BBC. And then one particularly sensitive and articulate teenager will say, "Why kids, do you understand nothing?

Exactly at that moment. Thatโ€™s totally how I remember it. The indie build up to a hot summer and Italia 90 and then it all went tits up with Waddleโ€™s penalty*. A slow decline accelerated rapidly into 91.

*see also Southgate 96, the closing ceremony of London Olympics.

The Lee Miller show at Tate Britain is a must see exhibition. Beautifully curated and a fascinating account of her life and her photography.

Invading Norway because he didn't get the peace prize would be so on brand.

Went On the piss with Ian Rush around Holborn on a Monday night after a Nike event. He was an animal on the sauce but had some stories. We went toe for toe, mind. Also, Pat Nevin doing an hour on Postcard Records at Milan Linate. We could have went on and agreed to. I lost his number. Gutted.

A โ€˜Coastal Negroniโ€™, apparently.

Trying a โ€˜Coastal Negroniโ€™. Nee idea whatโ€™s coastal about it, but Iโ€™ve never tried a negroni and that seems to be a thing these days. Canny lass being shown what to do at the bar, and good measures. However, it tastes like flat blue slush at the church disco circa 1982. People are off their tits.

'We need to do something' โ€“ Why England vs Wales will feature 22 adult mascots living with dementia

England & Wales will be led out tonight not by the usual kids as mascots, but by 22 people living with dementia & Alzheimer's.

This is the story of three of them. They talked about what it means to them & the brilliant work the @alzheimerssoc.bsky.social do.
