Andy Dickinson @arnosgrove.uk · 24/09/2026The names start to become familiar to me in the high 900s. Top work. 110
Andy Dickinson @arnosgrove.uk · 22/09/2026Dear god. They’re calling it the Jersey Mike’s Trophy. Could it get any more tacky? The Hooters Shield maybe? 020
Andy Dickinson @arnosgrove.uk · 18/09/2026It’s a dreadful moment when you’re first offered one. I was only 52. 100
Andy Dickinson @arnosgrove.uk · 18/09/2026So the choice for support is Meta, Meta, Meta or Musk? I think I’ll just ring you up. 041
Andy Dickinson @arnosgrove.uk · 27/08/2026Lots of lovely rain today and an epic storm before bed. 000
Andy Dickinson @arnosgrove.uk · 27/08/2026The Gasroom transfer thread is full of joy as usual. That said, if you mute ‘James’ and ‘Chairboys80’s new profile, it’s like reading a redacted document from a public enquiry. 110
Andy Dickinson @arnosgrove.uk · 27/08/2026And wait two months for your delay repay (including the appeal when they try and cheat you first time around). 100
Andy Dickinson @arnosgrove.uk · 20/08/2026Piers is doing a little dance. Will his luck change second time around? 030
Andy Dickinson @arnosgrove.uk · 20/08/2026Rain at last for three days and the grass is already waking up ❤️ #rain #ukdrought #ukweather 020
Andy Dickinson @arnosgrove.uk · 20/08/2026First day I’ve been chilly indoors in about 3 months (Nottingham). Still got the window open as I’m enjoying it. Decent rain over the last three days and things are already greening up. 010
Andy Dickinson @arnosgrove.uk · 14/08/2026The funniest bit of Farage’s re-election stunt in Clacton is not Count Binface but Laurence Fox garnering a risible 347 votes. 162

Andy Dickinson @arnosgrove.uk · 14/08/2026Londoners moaning there’s not one down their street. Meanwhile in the funding starved East Midlands we’re still mixing it with Brexity van drivers and elderly Mail readers. Well done Mayor Khan - have a word in Claire Ward’s ear next time you meet. 000
Andy Dickinson @arnosgrove.uk · 22/07/2026Reach’s Derby Telegraph ran a story last week on Rolls-Royce plc, the city’s biggest and most illustrious employer. It described them as the manufacturer of luxury cars. The car bit was hived off from RR plc in the 90s. Another nail. 030
Andy Dickinson @arnosgrove.uk · 12/07/2026‘All the roads that lead you anywhere significant are winding’. They literally aren’t Matterface, you absolute clown. 030
Andy Dickinson @arnosgrove.uk · 09/07/2026London has strong ‘The Drowned World’ prequel vibes already. And it’s not even 11am. 000
Andy Dickinson @arnosgrove.uk · 07/07/2026@geoffnorcott.bsky.social must be a bit of a disappointment this. Although June’s antics with the crazy gang are the stuff of legend. www.givemesport.com/most-famous-... 100
Andy Dickinson @arnosgrove.uk · 01/07/2026If you need to find money for defence it makes sense to chop it from the region with the lowest transport spend per head. And then wonder why they’re all switching to Reform. #EastMidlands www.theguardian.com/politics/202... www.statista.com/statistics/1...theguardian.comMinister and MP ‘furious’ over cuts to road projects to fund defence planRobert Jenrick and Hamish Falconer, MPs for Newark and Lincoln, among those whose constituencies now face cuts 000
Andy Dickinson @arnosgrove.uk · 16/06/2026Reform are right. These state benefits are far too generous. 000
Andy Dickinson @arnosgrove.uk · 16/06/2026Family uses State Benefits to send son to £64,000 a year school. Taxpayers Alliance struck dumb. 195
Andy Dickinson @arnosgrove.uk · 10/06/2026They’ve always enjoyed a good tear-up come the summer. Just fighty types looking for an excuse to carry on trashing. 010
Andy Dickinson @arnosgrove.uk · 27/05/2026Blair was a salesman for Gordon Brown’s policies. He’s now a salesman for the oil states and tech-bros. The Coca-Cola Christmas truck has more dignity. 010
Andy Dickinson @arnosgrove.uk · 26/05/2026A freshening breeze, a rumble of thunder, some splats of rain. Relief in sight! 020
Andy Dickinson @arnosgrove.uk · 10/05/2026Nottingham’s green heart looking lovely in the sun. Surprising lack of the ‘thieves and junkies’ predicted by terrified Nottingham Post readers. 020
Andy Dickinson @arnosgrove.uk · 10/05/2026Final bit being demolished soon. I’ve been here 25 years and that area’s always been about to be redeveloped. Probably lucky the shopping centre idea finally failed in 2020. Definitely starting to pick up after some tough years. 110
Andy Dickinson @arnosgrove.uk · 10/05/2026Similar in Nottingham’s defunct Broadmarsh shopping centre. The Green Heart looking wonderful this afternoon. 110
Andy Dickinson @arnosgrove.uk · 29/04/2026Does the Today programme still do ‘business leaders’ / ‘Union barons’ thing? Every word calculated, repeated and normalised. 020
Andy Dickinson @arnosgrove.uk · 26/04/2026If I cycled it I’d probably only finish 15 minutes ahead of him! Amazing. 010
Andy Dickinson @arnosgrove.uk · 17/04/2026They also don’t ask me if I’d like to listen along while co-pilot provides ‘bonus content’ about the music, or offer alternative sleeve artwork that looks like a knock off saucy seaside postcard where band member have claws for hands. 070
Andy Dickinson @arnosgrove.uk · 17/04/2026My records and CDs don’t ask me to pay a fee to keep listening to them. Or if I would care to accept advertising cookies from their 587partners. They don’t need an Amazon Prime account to work when someone sells the label. And they still play when a band member upsets the endlessly outraged. 1110
Andy Dickinson @arnosgrove.uk · 13/04/2026First enforced trip to a bank branch in seven years. Jesus wept - what the fuck is going on?!?! 000
Andy Dickinson @arnosgrove.uk · 05/04/2026If you thought there couldn’t be a more lame evocation of Punk than Brewdog, then you’ve never seen this place. 021
Andy Dickinson @arnosgrove.uk · 01/04/2026My old boss ordered a round of cheese and ham sandwiches for us all at a hotel after a night out. The cheese and ham sandwiches turned up, much to the annoyance of a veggie college. Boss called the member of staff back with ‘I said cheese AND ham, not cheese and ham’. 000
Andy Dickinson @arnosgrove.uk · 31/03/2026There should be no penalty for deleting a work email where the sender has used ‘freestyle script’ to style their name in a signature block. 000
Andy Dickinson @arnosgrove.uk · 29/03/2026No longer Murdoch owned but the ‘paying even more’ point is still valid. There’s little on Sky that would justify it for me. 000
Andy Dickinson @arnosgrove.uk · 25/03/2026I realised that Paris Nice had been and gone without me noticing it. Watched every year on ITV. Ah well, life moves on. I’m not chipping in to cover what Warners paid for football. 121
Andy Dickinson @arnosgrove.uk · 25/03/2026Have never understood why any business thinks it’s a good idea to have Facebook/Instagram as their sole online platform. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...bbc.co.ukBusiness owners distressed after Meta suspends Facebook accountsThey say they cannot understand the reason for the bans and have struggled to have them overturned. 000
Andy Dickinson @arnosgrove.uk · 14/03/2026Currently arguing with my brother who’s firmly defending his award. Baffling. 100
Andy Dickinson @arnosgrove.uk · 12/03/2026More brain farts from the ‘I would have thought it was easy’ crowd. 000
Andy Dickinson @arnosgrove.uk · 07/03/2026I still have a moment of panic when my kiwi friends post Happy Mother’s Day. 000
