I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did.

‘Eiffel Tower of the north’? Manchester United unveil 100,000-seat new stadium project. And it looks awful.

Isak has this little trick of pushing central defenders in the back on crosses. #whunew #COYi

Not with my lads at the game over in Hackney Wick/Stratford tonight. Combination of a cold and the fairly recent late adoption of Sky Sports mean I’ll be enjoying the company of @ljhblurbsmith.bsky.social on the sofa rather than @vincenthitchin.bsky.social #COYI

First cut of the lawn this year done on my day off. Looking forward to getting the garden furniture out of hibernation maybe the end of the month if it warms up:

Word of the day is ‘lickspittle’ (17th century): a person who fawns upon someone in power for personal gain.

Fulham, Brighton, Bournemouth and Palace . None of them have ever won a major trophy. But they are all in the quarter finals of the FA Cup this year. A new name on the cup? #FACUP

It’s a very calm weekend when your team isn’t playing and you are avoiding the news.

Is this French for "has been totally shattered by West Ham United?" #COYI

Ticketmaster think this is OK: Concert tickets £93.00 Service Fee £13.10 Venue Handling Fee £4.00 Handling Fee £2.75 Total fees £19.85. Anyone else think 21.3% uplift is reasonable? What happened to them showing the true total cost before checkout? #music #concerts #ticketprices #extortion #ripoff

“Immigration, mostly from outside the EU, surged due to Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal. Net migration rose from 184,000 in 2019 to 906,000 in 2023. It was a gift to Nigel Farage” www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/the...

Uptown Top Ranking by Althea & Donna has got to be the greatest one hit wonder song?

Looking at the Radio Times. Blimey, don’t the BBC or Sky have a Fleetwood Mac night at least once a month…

I’m still in shock @johnferrett.bsky.social £7.75 for a pint of lager in St James’s Park yesterday evening…

Shocking statistic in the Metro today. 8.7m people on anti-depressants in England according to the NHS. It’s not you folks, it’s the way we live. Obsessed by work and the latest car, new clothes, meals out, holidays, paying the mortgage. We need to live a simpler and slower life. Smell the flowers!

RIP Rick Buckler.

In principle there should be a vote in Parliament when troops are deployed. I’m confident all sides of the House are likely to agree with the Prime Minister apart from those Trump bootlickers in Reform.
