The Council website says he's "independent" but if you read to the end of his entry there's this...

She could swear on a Morris Minor User's Handbook for me. The fact that we are still in thrall to religions is what's really wrong with this.

Telegraph coverage of Tigers Vs Sarries. Sounds downright dangerous.

GREENFIELD C.C. G.M.C.L. Premiership Two Champions 2026. Favourites for relegation back in April. Mixing it with the big spenders in 2027. #GMCL #GCC

Easy to get us Wodehouse fans to laugh at these creeps. You need to get Mail, Sun, Telegraph etc. readers to see them for what they are.

Not unique to MotoGP. "Fan" is an abbreviation of "Fanatic".

To be fair, Carse isn't one of the posh boys; it's actually worse, he's a damned foreigner.

Interesting stat re. professional cricketers in England. There's a larger proportion of them that were privately educated than the membership of the House of Lords.

#TMS Waiting with fingers crossed to see who's in the TMS box at Headingly. Please don't let it involve Norcross, Moeran, Dagnall or Guha.

Why did no-one see this coming? It's another meeting I'd like to have attended where the blindingly obvious consequences of a decision seem to have been discounted.

Is that just heavy irony, or might it be sarcasm? You know what they say about sarcasm?

I'm not offended in the least, just disappointed.

Can I recommend "astonishing", " remarkable" and maybe "amazing"?

BobW @intheshed.bsky.social · 09/08/2026
I notice the publication you use is a dictionary of American English which excuses your misuse of the word. For those of us who speak English English the word "incredible" continues to mean "too extraordinary and improbable to be believed."

BobW @intheshed.bsky.social · 09/08/2026
You just watched it, how can it be incredible 🤔

BobW @intheshed.bsky.social · 09/08/2026
Agreed. Can I add "incredible"? If you were to forbid the use of these two words many broadcasters would be speechless.

I thought it would be interesting to see what the Telegraph had to say about this, but I couldn't find any mention of it.

#MotoGP In case you hadn't noticed MotoGP coverage on Quest Freeview Channel this weekend.... Saturday Sprint Race 5.00-6.00p.m. Sunday full coverage 10.00 a.m.-3.30 p.m.

Musical allegory for the hundred. You collect some of the finest musicians in the World and when the conductor's baton falls, they all play "Chopsticks".

Imagine agreeing with the Telegraph.

The Telegraph's nauseating coverage of a murder case.

He has the misfortune to look like the spiv with a suitcase full of black market nylons that your Mum would have shut the door on back in the day. I know you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but then again, if it looks like duck and quacks like a duck.....

Everyone knows that there's nothing more characteristically British than a "Good Loser". I had expected the Reform leader to assume this position without delay.
