New gear has arrived! 😍🔴⚪️🇬🇮 Gonna need a bigger clothes rail!

Bought a new blazer for my niece's wedding brunch in a couple of weeks. Thought the 46 inch chest may be *snug*, but it's perfect. To think less than 2 years ago, my suit jacket size was 50 or 52 inches

Sorry, but that's a dive... he was going down before contact was instigated

Just ordered 2 more @GibraltarFA teamwear items in the clearance sale. Had to order 2 of 1 item online as one was not available to ship to my address. Jonathan came good again and will send correct items to me so I can rep @GibraltarFA as an exile in the UK 🇬🇮🔴⚪️

Word of the day is ‘beek’ (13th century): to bask in the pleasurable warmth of the sun. Also available as a noun, as in ‘I took a wonderful beek today’.

Got round to reading Farage two page “manifesto” in yesterday’s Mail. Populist slogans/unfunded promises strung together in a piece designed to portray 🇬🇧 as third world. But how about this for nerve from Mr Brexit? “The casual lies and careless attitudes of our political class have let people down”.

Seems to be a lot of spiders joining me at my mini desk in the back garden this morning as I study & take notes

Something as simple as The Assembly reminds me there is hope and there is good.

Today shows: - A lot of people are thick enough to fall for a con artists obvious bullshit. - Funnily enough, repeating mad Reform rhetoric doesn’t win Labour votes, who knew? (me and anyone else with sense) Finally, if you don’t protest vote tactically you help those fuckers.

Who'd have thought... 🤔 tacking to the right to be 'reform-lite' only results in losing your core & traditional supporters to those who remain on the left. Do the right (conscionable) thing and lead for all

The last FA Cup Final was played on this day 49 years ago. The Queen bowed out knowing it would never be bettered.

The best thing about Lamine Yamal's goal last night was Somer standing and turning to watch it go past him and kiss off the post. Pointless even entertaining a dive

Tusk is really rising to the occasion www.nytimes.com/2025/03/07/w...

I guess the presence of US humanitarian workers in Ukraine really acted as a security guarantee you deter Trump's bestie 🤔

I lose track of the number of vehicles I witness each morning exceeding the speed limit on my walk to work at 6.30am. Fines followed by bans need to be imposed.

Former Vikings punter Chris Kluwe called Donald Trump and MAGA a "Nazi movement" and was arrested and carried out of a city council meeting by police. More of this please America

What a fucking prick.

@meteogib.bsky.social hi Steph! I haven't copied the URL, but I saw a stunning photo of lenticular clouds over a volcano in Chile on the BBC news culture page and thought you would enjoy. All the best, Phil

Watch out for spam calls, which after a moment of silence, is an automated message pretending to be from HMRC saying legal notice will be taken. If you don't recognise the number, screen it. I just happened to be waiting for a call about a vacancy

Thats just great! 🤬 I was completing an online assessment for stage 2 of a job application when the chrome browser crashed. When it was restored, the assessment re-started at the next test! I'd only answered 6 of 16 questions in that section. FML

Another dumb-arse sociopath behind the wheel of a vehicle who doesn't understand the white lines set back from the junction, ie a continuous/Copenhagen pavement, gives right of way to pedestrians. I told them in plain language they understand

Liz Truss threatens to sue Keir Starmer unless he "ceases and desists" from alleging she crashed the economy. In other news, here's Liz Truss making the exact same allegation against Gordon Brown

Today Conservative MPs will seek to block a piece of legislation that will actually help protect vulnerable children from abuse, in order to gain a few retweets from a far-right billionaire.

Just watched the "From Roger Moore With Love" and it was good as i hoped it would be. He is always my 007

Although the roads are very quiet, I still experienced 4 separate incidents of dangerous driving. A driver ignoring the speed limit on m27 roadworks. Another ignoring the lifting of the speed limit. A car ignoring 2 red lights on a roundabout and a caravanette cutting me up

We’d like to wish all of our followers a very Happy Christmas! 🎄 We’re celebrating with a classic Xmas tune by one of our own, a Sotonian… the only and only Jona Lewis 🎅🎺🥁 #saintsfc #southampton #christmas #holidays #jonalewie #music #soton #drums #brass #band #saxophone #trombone #trumpet

New Christmas lights just went up in Clacton. (Farage is still the MP who makes most money from second jobs. By a long way.)
