James Pennock @corporategorillajp.bsky.social · 18hWhilst Europeans witter on about the unloveable Ronaldo, one of the greatest offensive tackles to ever play in the NFL goes out tremendous with grace. Just sad I won’t see him in the Eagles O Line on the field at Spurs on Sunday. 020
James Pennock @corporategorillajp.bsky.social · 04/10/2026How’s my weekend going? Well…I cracked a filling whilst chewing gum, and destroyed my voice doing karaoke with a bunch of silks. So pretty well all told. 120
James Pennock @corporategorillajp.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Sheffield Girls School has a ‘Girls of Steel’ programme to equip girls with ‘character education’. It is evidently derived from the Women of Steel, being women during WW2 who worked in munitions factories in Sheffield. A few observations. 120

James Pennock @corporategorillajp.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Local police sergeant used to do an annual assembly for lower 6th formers where he told us that if we went out under-age drinking he’d see to it we got to spend a night in the cells in Goole with some proper criminals. Spent many nights under-age drinking, but zero nights in Goole nick. 010
James Pennock @corporategorillajp.bsky.social · 23/09/2026The current oldest surviving former MP was possibly one of the shortest serving MPs, losing her seat within a year. But that by-election was the first time I got involved in a campaign, and it was delicious - if only for a short while - to see the Tories lose Ryedale. 000
