It's not what I would have done but presumably he thought his pace could be an outlet with relatively little risk given so little time remained. (And so it almost proved with the Lerma handball.)

With ready-meals and pre-prepped menu boxes, cookery is largely a spectator sport in this country.

My favourite food show is Michel Roux's French Country Cooking. I'm certain that not one single viewer has ever tried to emulate any of his dishes.

Totally. Has completely lost its impish sparkle.

That's pretty cool, too. Nice one. My 18th we went to the fair on Woodhouse Moor then, inevitably, a night in the Fav.

Interesting - I wonder if there'll be a rash of SS re-openings now Humph has bitten the dust.

Any Libero podcast listeners notice Miguel Delaney's semi-stifled incredulous yelp of "Daniel Farke?!" when it was mentioned in passing that #lufc might be candidates for Europe this season? Weird.

Spot on. Massive in Belgium and the Philippines, though.

Blank Opera is a great name for a band. Underachieving Goths from a mid-80s provincial town. Probably signed to Beggars Banquet or Situation Two.

It's an age since I went to Headingley. Occasionally went to Lord's and The Oval when I was in London, but generally on final days with discounted tickets.

Adam Robinson @adamrob.bsky.social · 20/08/2026
Yeah - pretty good value, if you get a full day. I guess Pakistan aren't seen as top tier oppo, hence more realistic pricing.

£61.50 for the Northeast Lower. Couldn't deal with a day on the Western Terrace, nowadays.

I've got a ticket for Saturday, so a severely curtailed day today would suit me quite well.

His name is so on-the-nose that even Martin Amis would have baulked at using it.

I didn't but I remember my parents taking a rare trip to the cinema for that.

Saw him do it at the Soho theatre, accompanied by felt puppets. It was ace. No lost children, though.

Good! Other people's holiday snaps are my favourite thing on here, although I'm reticent about posting my own.

Maybe they're designed for large wedding venues etc and they're for guests to hang their jackets from? Or to attach their little dogs' leads.

Obviously, it's all an abomination but, in particular, that sparkly grey velour for the soft furnishings fills me with despair. Imagine, all that money and your aesthetic aspirations being limited to what's available at The Range.

He was right behind me in the queue for one of the Roundhouse gigs in 2014 - in full birdwatching gear.

Was in there once with a large group of people - the barman asked us to pick a song each and write it down, then played the list via streaming. Great service. (I picked Stevie's I'm Wondering.)

Would be nice. I love a footballer with a hinterland.

Adam Robinson @adamrob.bsky.social · 24/07/2026
It should be. James Harrington Trafford sounds like an associate of William Morris so works, too.

Adam Robinson @adamrob.bsky.social · 24/07/2026
James Trafford really doesn't look like a footballer. More like a Renaissance painter's apprentice or a melancholy minor Romantic poet. #lufc

I've loved JXF since I first heard him - so much warmth and pathos in his voice and playing - and now he's done this: a song that, for me, is linked inextricably with my now Alzheimer's-ravaged dad. It's a real tearjerker.

Tinpot airports I have enjoyed: Windhoek SA, Mackay Aus, Barranquilla Columbia, and - taking the prize - Rurrenabaque Bolivia, where the pilot had three goes before deciding the grass-strip runway was dry enough to land on.

Same in football: Man Ure, Chelski, Spurts etc - diminishes the user more than the target. So cringey.
