Off to see Squid tonight for the second of three February gigs (Personal Trainer tomorrow). Pre-match beer in the Royal Blenheim to fuel me for the long walk to Cowley Road. I'm a trooper me.

Limited time or energy to go to the Latics game at Dagenham today so I opted to go down the road for Oxford City in the National League 'North' at home to Scunthorpe instead. Decent day for it. ☀️

The Rams’ James Gladstone will be the new GM of the Jaguars, the team announces - at just 34, he has been a key architect behind their scouting, draft and talent identification process.

Only just seen the Mitoma goal vs Chelsea. What a brilliant player he is. Pleased for Brighton fans that he's staying put, for the time being at least. youtu.be/zJFVTvSK_XU?...

Had an enjoyable #LowCarbonBirding trip (by train) to Leigh-on-Sea, Essex at the weekend. Some sea air to soothe the soul and I added a bunch of coastal waders to the year list in the process (good to get away from landlocked Oxfordshire!). Excuse the bad dreadful footage but you get the idea.

Just thinking about the Super Bowl again; the Eagles produced one of the most complete performances I've ever seen from a team in the big game. Pleased for Jalen Hurts as he played well enough to win it last time. Just had a few more key pieces around him this time to get over the line.

Planning a mad #LowCarbonBirding trip to the coast this weekend which, tragically, will involve staying in a Spoons in Southend-on-Sea. Needless to say I was unable to persuade my wife to join. She likes birds, but not enough to stay in a Spoons in Southend in February.

I'm moving jobs next month! After 7 years of being a consultant ecologist I wanted a fresh start and a new challenge. I'll be an Ecology Officer for a local district council.

I rented a room in Kew in 2014/15 (was working at the botanic gardens as a placement student), 3 mins walk from the tube station, and was paying £550 a month at that time (admittedly a decent rate for that time). Looks like average rent in that area has doubled in the past 10 years.

This is a good article. Must admit I haven't found him nearly as grating as some, and I do think he's got slightly better as the season's gone on, but the real crime is that he walked straight into Greg Olsen's job because of his name, despite clearly being a worse analyst.

You get what you voted for. (Twice.) Sad to say, Paul Noth's cartoon is turning out to be a 21st-century perennial.

One of the saddest headlines you'll see this week. What an absolute shitshow.

It’s so grim how the Washington crash has been crudely politicised by Trump and his MAGA minions when the country would normally be taking time to mourn the losses. He eats away at humanity.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

I actually like that decision to take the 3 points rather than go for another 4th down conversion. Three conversions in one drive is unlikely even for teams that do it well. The first 4th down attempt kind of made sense as it got them into FG range (or close at least).

A long shot, but are there any UK NFL Gamepass (via Dazn) users on here? NFL Network won't load on the TV app or via the Dazn website. Only place I can get it to work is via the Dazn app. I've had a fairly useless customer service response with some troubleshooting steps that I'd already tried...

Not to open a can of worms this early on a Sunday morning, but when do we just accept that imperial measurements are a thing of the past and are hindering us unnecessarily for the sake of 'tradition'.

Got some metal on the go for my exercise bike session this morning. Needed something high intensity to get by butt into gear.
