The only thing stopping me joining the Greens is that eventually, I'd have to vote against my MP*. I'll vote for them enthusiastically in the locals next year, even more so if @zackpolanski.bsky.social wins the leadership. I'd urge every green to vote for Zack. *I live in Islington North.

7 days since the domestic football season ended

Tuchel OUT! This is embarrassing. @sloughtownfc.bsky.social would be 4 nil up against these clowns, even @haringeyboroughfc.bsky.social would be 2 nil up. Joke of a manager

It's almost as if, despite FIFA being desperate for him to participate, he's unwilling to step foot in a country where law enforcement would like a word with him about his previous behaviour* *rape

It's Saturday afternoon, and I'm bored out of my gourd. I know I've only got 2 1/2 months to go, but I miss football youtu.be/8f2-Hw8ukqc?...

Might be a lesson here somewhere about outsourcing capacity for key government services to a guy who lives in a lair under a volcano

After all my doom mongering yesterday, to find out we've just signed Adam Desbois has really lifted my spirits. Such a good young keeper #OneSlough www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdOF...

That's an interesting signing. Honestly, give me 5 mins from the terraces and some shithousery from the boys on the pitch, he'll be off in 10 mins. Easy 6 points.

This is @seanayling.bsky.social fault. Wanted to see if I could still score in my head so loaded an app, took me awhile byt that's 20 there. Now I want to find somewhere in N.London where I can find a friendly game #cribbage

Great to have Jefferson back at #ArbourPark. If anyone can mentor the young lads it's him www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

When it comes to football, I try exceptionally hard to be a glass half full bloke, but I'm starting to worry about my club. Not the ownership or management, just the practical and pragmatic reality. The fact is we've lost 9 players to full-time football in the last 18 months 1/

A few people who were not — according to this definition — white British: - Winston Churchill - George V - Cliff Richard - George Orwell - Isambard Brunel - JRR Tolkien - Boris Johnson

The majority of households with kids are net recipients from the welfare state (total taxes - total value of transfers & services = negative). Majority of working age households without kids net contributors. So I wish people would stop going on about people not having kids till they can afford to.

I have enormous respect for Luis Enrique, and he's built a young, vibrant, exciting and attacking team at PSG. But it's still built on petrostate money, so as much as it goes against the grain, Forza Inter!

As expected, my black dog turned up this afternoon, BUT As soon as I started measuring, peeling, chopping & grating, I started to feel better, & in 25 mins, I'll have a banging Chicken Karahi to further lift my spirit. The therapeutic power of cooking really is a wonder

And now to top it off, Wish You Were Here just came on the radio, and I'm blubbering. Miss you Jimbo. sink a few cold ones up there for me, and I'll see again at some point

2.5 hours later & it's still affecting me. Work isn't supposed to do this to anyone. & I'm well aware I'm part of the problem. I'm too high strung about it, too passionate, but all I wanted was to do 3 hours solid work, which I'm very good at, & enjoy the rest of the weekend. 1
