Let's see if Everton can mess the plan up this weekend.

A man dressed in Lincoln City football kit stood by a tree using his phone to take photos of the Tottenham Hotspur squad training. AI slop for sure but still funny.

I'm no fan of betting companies and their grip on sports and will celebrate when Stake no longer feature on Everton shirts however Paddy Power social media here absolutely nails it. Just when are Man City going to face the consequences of their rampant cheating?

Paddy Power social media post.

Team suspected of spying on training sessions - EFL conducts an investigation within a week and kicks the team out of a competition immediately.

115 financial charged - PL will get back to you on that in a few years.

The ball boys appear to be doing the lap of honour in lieu of the senior squad who've been missing most of the game.

I'm doing roast lamb and trimmings for the family this Easter Sunday. My wife assures me this unopened and, stored in the fridge, jar of goose fat will be perfectly OK for the roast potatoes despite the use by date as the two vegetarians are not with us. This may be my last social media post.

Sound not posh, I think several in Crosby and certainly most of Blundellsands may take issue. I won't...

Across Europe, outside the homes of Jews and others who were persecuted and exterminated by the Nazis, Stolperstein are a reminder of what happens when the world last moved to a darker place. America should heed these stones as some who are enabled by Donald Trump look to that dark place with envy.

Three Stolperstein (or Stumble Stones) outside a house in Dordrecht in the Netherlands. The names engraved on the stones are Leendert Braadbaart, Nico Braadbaart and Alfred Lodewijk Braadbaart.

Congratulations President DJT. A course PB as well.

Our daughter asked for a record player this Christmas, Santa delivered but I made sure her first piece of vinyl was a decent one by passing this one from my collection on 'long term loan'.

Chris Rea has passed away, that's so terrible. I was part way through playing his album Espresso Logic yesterday strangely. Farewell Benny Santini, I hope you are safe at home for one final time.

I love on summer's day, rent a rowing boat and head out to the Scott Memorial on the lake in Roath Park. Many lazy days spent there as a student.

Live from Sandhills 😞 or at least for my son who's been at the game, Crosby bound. According to my read of the Merseyrail timetable, only two more Southport bound trains.

So the #patriots like their little #Temu #flags. This one just about sums up the UK at the moment. #ScouseNotEnglish

A rather threadbare Union Flag flies above the Lido Scogliera d' Armisi in Catania, Sicily. Only the lower left quarter of the flag remains. Behind the flag, a vivid blue and cloudless sky.

Correction. Seven Apple laptops. Also, this is not how you store an out of service Aeropress 😂

In a coffee shop in Porto enjoying a late breakfast, Combi Coffee Roasters, 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟, if in town you should check it out. Smallish seating space, six laptop users sitting at tables, every one using an Apple one. I think we have found the hip/woke centre of Porto😜 📱Posted from an Android 🤖 phone.

Rationing eggs, almost certainly eggs 🇺🇸

Picture shows an ebook reader open at a page from the George Orwell novel 1984.

The page reads,

... happy life which his wise leadership has bestowed upon us. Here are some of the completed figures. Foodstuffs ——'

The phrase ‘our new, happy life' recurred several times. It had been a favourite of late with the Ministry of Plenty. Parsons, his attention caught by the trumpet call, sat listening with a sort of gaping solemnity, a sort of edified boredom. He could not follow the figures, but he was aware that they were in some way a cause for satisfaction. He had lugged out a huge and filthy pipe which was already half full of charred tobacco. With the tobacco ration at 1oo grammes a week it was seldom...

Mrs Sinclair has got some fancy new Varifocal glasses. Not much wrong with my eyesight 👀.

They say that Facebook knows everything about you, based on this, I'm less sure. No to both questions 😂

A screenshot of an advert from my personal Facebook page from UMI Surveys. The advert says "Share your insights on the critical roles fats play in food formulation, processing, and performance!"

The photo in the advert is of a male worker dressed in protective clothing with blue gloves holding an iPad, in the background are stainless steel tanks, presumably some form of production line. The caption on the picture reads, "Work in food manufacturing and use duck fat? Take part in our market study?"

From the Bramley Moore article on Wikipedia to what is now my favourite @bluemcardle.bsky.social picture of our new home. What a difference a few years (and quite a few millions) makes.
