If Bradford City finally manage to secure automatic promotion next Saturday, then we are the spawniest club in all of football history. #bcafc (Please, please, please make the this happen! 😫🙏🏻)

Absolute dog crap from Aden Baldwin. #bcafc Well done, big man. You got to tell the ref what you thought of him. Absolute mug.

31 days ago, my car decided to stop working. It is less than 7 years old and has done less than 44000 miles. Unfortunately, #Vauxhallareutterlyuseless and I have no idea if or when when my car will be repaired. No one can even tell me when the part will be available. Please repost.

This is the first overtly political xkcd I can recall seeing in…ever, now I come to think about it.

I wrote something about how we're seeing the rise of the online "alpha male." This is someone who speaks in clipped imperatives, squeezes into tight suits, and performs for our feed. They present a vision of masculinity shaped by politics, tech, and 100 years of cultural history 🧵

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it's that time . . . Good news is that it's only for 5 weeks (2 of them are short weeks).

Just watched the Home Counties private schoolboy Nigel Farage telling northern voters how he understands steelworkers because he used to work in the “metals business” himself. He was, ahem, a commodities trader at the London Metal Exchange in the City.

Well, after a few days of cloudy skies, last night's thunderstorm seems to have cleared things a bit. Breakfast and sunbathing seem to be the order of the day. Back to Blighty in 48 hours.

Yesterday, I felt unwell. Sore throat, runny nose, headache. I went to be at 11pm. Today, I expected to be laid up. I got up later than normal, watched the football and then went to dinner (tea). I'm headed to bed soon (9pm ish). Don't care. It's my holiday and I'm doing what I want/need.

Amazing. After nearly losing her house, and being locked away in a legal battle for years because of one innocuous line in her last TED Talk, @carolecadwalla.bsky.social returns to the Lion’s Den, and calls out the Broligarchs This Is What a Digital Coup Looks Like youtu.be/TZOoT8AbkNE?...

Just walking through the hotel restaurant and was reminded of one my dad's favourite jokes: Me (to French chef): Two pancakes, please. Chef: They are crepe. Me: They look okay to me.

I'm celebrating the morning of my 20,000th day alive with a breakfast of omelette, grilled aubergine, and grilled tomato. Also, a double espresso and a freshly squeezed orange juice. Plans for the day involve lying still in the Tunisian sun, reading, music, podcasts, and, after midday, beer.

This hotel is huge. Without meaning to, I've managed to clock up 8500 steps, and there's still over an hour left before midnight.

Had a hammam this morning in the place where they were presumably invented (Hammam Sousse). Very different experience to the Turkish version. Much less soapy, soapy. Much more scrubby, scrubby. Without being too gross, I may have lost a 5kg in dead skin. Also booked an hour's massage for Friday.

Final update: Eye of the Tiger Boy's dad finished off the evening with "Wherever You Will Go". Nice attempt, but his boy schooled him. Dad might just have reached the top 5 of the evening. Just. Boy is number one by a country mile.

Update: Young lass (18 or so) came back with a version of "My Heart Will Go On". Solid, very solid. No cracked vocals. Excellent, in fact. Not to be deterred, Eye of the Tiger boy came back with a career defining rendition of "Skater Boi". Undefeated.

First evening's entertainment in the resort is Karaoke. Walked in as a 7 year old kid absolutely knocked "Eye of the Tiger" out of the park. Everyone else in the room is intimidated af. Major Boss Energy.

Nice hotel. Less than 90 quid. About 3 minutes walk from Terminal 1. Best blackout curtains I've ever seen. Super friendly staff. Pint of Camden Hells, a spicy pizza and then head to watch the Manchester derby. #TribeHotel

Managed to catch my train with 30 seconds to go. Made a canine friend (Shadow). Listened to Liverpool be rubbish at Fulham. I'll be at my overnight hotel in about 15 minutes. The holiday has begun. #Tunisia2025 🇹🇳

Massive result at Valley Parade this afternoon. Almost 23,000 again. In the bottom tier of league football in England. For the first time since the early days of 2009/10, we can say we are top of the league. The last time we were top with 5 games to go was 1985. #bcafc

If you want an enjoyable couple of hours of entertainment and you are not terrified by subtitles, then can I suggest Uprising on Netflix? Korean film set in Medieval times. Slaves, sword fights, and revolting peasants. I really enjoyed it.

Minor adrenaline issue due me deciding not to keep my passport in the same wallet that I always keep it in, in the same place I always keep it in. Much better to put it at the bottom of a pile of books, for no apparent reason. Great thinking, James of 5 months ago. 🤦🏻‍♂️

The title sequence to series two of ITV's supernatural anthology for kids, SHADOWS (1976), is an evergreen favourite of mine. And its eerie, urban horror-meets-Yellow Submarine aesthetic had me literally screaming in terror when I was six years old.
