I’m going to the Sheffield launch with Mr Hawley involved.

That’s three lovely people I’ve known who’ve left us in the last fortnight - the Grim Reaper is choosing the wrong ones…

Saddened to hear of the passing of Scottish music writer Paul Kerr. He was such a positive and supportive chap.

Got a chance to buy tickets for Eng/NZ ODI mid-September 27 - but with tickets ranging from £67.50 to £92.50 for something that could easily be rained off, I didn’t bother.

I rated A Bona Fide Killer (2026–2026) 8/10 #IMDb Top notch K-Drama with a mix of all the stuff that makes the wider genre so appealing. The only thing missing was time travel!

It’s pretty clear, in retrospect why Pep Guardiola left MCFC.

Lots of entitled rich people getting their knickers in a twist over Burnham’s speech. Good.

It didn’t take any amount of brain cells to work out that Man City basically bought their way to success, legally or not. Most fans would love that for their own club and wouldn’t complain.

Fair play to Burnham for at least starting to change the direction of the wheel guiding the nation, but I'd like to see it given an even bigger turn to the left on lots of things....

One of the good things about Bluesky is the number of (distracting) dog videos. Wouldn’t it be great if dogs turned out to be our alien overlords?

My German friend in Köln sends me a notification every time that there’s a road or area closure because of unexploded WW2 bombs. There’s 2-3 most weeks…

Pope Innocent III,who died in 1216, spoke of a certain kind of older man, who is "easily provoked", "will believe anything and question nothing", is "stingy and greedy" and "praises the good old days and hates the present." Reform UK's voter base has been knocking around for a very long time.

Abbey Road Music Photo prize - a couple of good images amongst a sea of ordinariness and privilege ie if you’re specially accredited then you’re more likely to get impactful images because of the content that helps to sell the brand - not that I’m being cynical…

So - Manchester City have been found guilty on 114/115 of the charges. I think they should be punished by making all their players sign for the Vale on a reduced wage.

Been seeing adverts for an evangelical meeting thing in Manchester from a grifting American preacher. I think they’ve overestimated the ability of the general population to give a 💩

I like the idea of vocational GCSEs, but unless there’s a lot of funding put into staff recruitment, resources and infrastructure it’s going to be a non-starter.
