@herring1967.bsky.social Will this soulless nothingness experience of the Newhaven Premier Inn replace the infamous Travelodge bogey staple in Herring folklore?

And also a word with K and E in it: berk (remember the rhyming slang etymology).

Hi Richard, I came up with this a while ago and was saving it for the next general election, but now seems a good time to get it out there. It's a bit contrary to what you just said, but maybe you'll agree with it. You have far more followers than me, so perhaps you could help spread it?

I wasn't. And if I was a pedant, I'd point out that I categorically stated I wasn't being a pedant.

Sorry, just trying to be helpful, not a pedantic bellend. Obviously you did A,B&C, but many people tend to associate a character with the actor (Kevin Spacey springs to mind) so mention of those characters sometimes elicits backlash, and I was trying warn against that. Sorry, I'll keep my gob shut.

@herring1967.bsky.social You've probably been informed of this already, but re Warming Up 8607/21526 No Sweat: Jeffrey Jones, who played the headmaster, is a registered sex offender. So maybe think twice before sympathising with him.

The @tate.bsky.social are believed to be making bids to secure Chess by emerging talent @herring1967.bsky.social to complement Tate Britain's The Chess Players by Sir John Lavery.

You've unearthed a sister piece to Laurence Stephen Lowry's The Procession (1937)

@herring1967.bsky.social Are you alright Rich? At the end of Monday's R&A'sCN your eyes looked and voice sounded pretty much like mine did shortly before I had a breakdown. Hoping you were just tired, of course.

John Bone @itsjohnbone.bsky.social · 08/04/2026

I saw this in the Wast End in the mid-1980s when I was about 16. Saw it twice actually. Still remember the main song and occasionally sing it in my head "Oh to be a, hired man!"

And apropos of nothing, let's not forget that in scene #27 Robocop shot one bloke in the dick. Whadda movie!

'Herring at Knebworth 25' not quite the same grandeur or longevity as 'Stones at Knebworth 76'

I'm sure someone else has already pointed this out, but Dumas was paid for each line he wrote in newspaper serializations. Hence his stories being so long. Ka-ching.

An entire decade of one of the best shows ever. Thank you to @alexhorne.bsky.social and the whole @taskmaster.tv team. Many more years please!

Yep, definitely not the work of a moment. But personally I think it'd be a fascinating deep dive. Imagine if they'd had the TV coverage then that we have now, it would possibly have been the highlight of the weekend: 6-8 cars desperately trying to get it all together in just 30 mins. What ifs...

@jakeybl.bsky.social Lovely little article JBL. Can we please have a full blown feature on the heyday of prequalifying? And thus the plethora of no-hopers, almost-made-its & genuine star teams of those late 80s & early 90s days, when 30+ cars rocked up to GPs? www.autosport.com/f1/news/what...

Such an iconic album but always thought it was such a naff cover. Particularly Mike love very obviously not giving a shit.

Apparently he also decided to go through the school yearbook (posh school thing I guess) and count the number of boys named Smith (at the time the most popular UK surname) and Patel. Them moaned to anyone stupid enough to listen that there were more Patels. From little acorns mighty c***s grow.

‪@bobbyllew.bsky.social‬ Fun facts about your fav person. Several of my boyhood friends went to Dulwich College. I remember them mentioning Farage carving his initials into any available wood (school desks etc.) but joining the N and the F so they resembled the National Front logo. Whadda guy.

Great article. I left a comment aimed at the Autosport readers at large, not your good self. If it caused offence or you disagree, please send rebuttal and insults this way post haste.
