I've heard that Yer Da would like this travelogue/social history book about chippies, down to the price of battered sausage and chips on Amazon, and with you by Father's Day: amzn.eu/d/4LOK70J

Looking forward to reading these two loans from Portsmouth Libraries. The Book Purchaser must have good taste. @nigetassell.bsky.social @danielgraywriter.bsky.social

They just can't get rid of me... On Sunday I'll be switching to the new book. Appropriate in the city where some of my most boring Sundays happened. Hopefully you won't feel the same if you come along ⬇️

See you there, Daniel. Get down there if you can. We're hopefully popping down Brew York's tap afterwards.

Just finished @danielgraywriter.bsky.social very entertaining 'Food of the cods', an odyssey of Britain's fish and chip shops. Highly recommended . Just reading it made me feel hungry.

Lovely to appear at Derby Book Festival today, and then I popped in on the King of Rome. Without The Unthanks I wouldn't know this brilliant story and beautiful song. There is something very 'Sunday' about pigeon racing. "Come on down, my lovely one/You made my dream come true..."

FA Cup Final day always brings memories of singing "Three points! Three points!" at Prince Charles after our deduction, and also of this banner which seemed to imply that The Jackson 5 were a miscarriage of justice.

A glorious day for hanging around one of the finest grounds on earth.

An excellent reason to go to Leeds! 😉. Next Friday, the @leedslibraries.bsky.social & @britishlibrary.bsky.social football fanzine expo, Voice of the Fans, opens. Cracking events leedsinspired.co.uk/collection/v... Quality video. Nailed what 'zines are about. Can't wait. Is that the programme? NO😅

30 years today since the last game at Ayresome and me managing to drag my massive curtain hair on for the pitch invasion. Coincidentally, after Saturday's retro day, the items I'm wearing then are on the line right now. Football: making us keep stinking nylon garments forever.
