😂 You know you can't just keep fielding the same XI that won those medals though, right?

Only because Wellington was luckier, though...

It may just make a few political scientists come to the realisation that politics isn't a science.

Yeah... I've heard all the stuff about Croatia's golden generation being on its last legs but England aren't exactly famed for coming fast out of the traps in major tournaments either... I would be happy with a point!

Oh God, you're going to be utterly unbearable on Wednesday night / Thursday morning.

There are 'pro-Starmer ultras'? That's really A Thing?

Wife picked our daughter's name when she was born - Saila. I've held it in for 16 years until the first time she came home drunk this weekend and I got to sing what shall we do with a drunken sailor at her. Then she threw up on my wife's slippers. It was worth the wait.

I think clearly the identity of his target is also, very wrongly, a factor. Even if he was Adonis himself, if he'd assassinated... I dunno, the head of a refugee charity or some other 'worthy cause', there'd be less of this nonsense.

Good evening, Bluesky. I just want to say that Christmas can go fuck itself and if anyone disagrees I'm offering out.

Funny, I'd say it's the best time to try it. Preferably with a fry-up.

It is a bang average stout. It's perfectly drinkable, but there are better ones available, albeit much harder to find now that Guinness, and its unspeakable brethren Guinness 0.0% and (worse, much worse) Guinness Extra Cold, seem to have infiltrated every corner of the pub market.

To my family and close friends: look, I have trouble enough remembering my own birthday, you think I'm going to worry myself about yours? And don't think you're getting a Christmas card from me, either.

Bob Blackman, Harrow E? I seem to remember reading something about that shortly after the election.

To be fair, disappointing to have to bring pizza if Italy is going to be there.

Hi-res downloads (Qobuz has a good range) and high-quality wired headphones/speakers.

I can't focus on audiobooks, unfortunately. I tend to get visually distracted. Or go to sleep 😏

A healthy(?) reading habit means that the cloud cast by any mild illness invariably has a silver lining.

If you actually look where you're going, you end up doing a bloody slalom just to avoid bumping into all the morons. So nowadays, I just don't bother avoiding them. I'm 6'2" and >100kg so it usually hurts them more than it hurts me. Sometimes it knocks the phone out of their hands as well ftw 😂

See also 'walking three or four abreast on a narrow pavement' - and then having the effrontery to tut at or verbally abuse the lone pedestrian coming in the other direction when the inevitable shoulder clash occurs.

Ah. I feel your pain. Although down here in Croydon (still technically London), I – or rather the developers – have managed to squeeze one in...

Clearly, one does them in the dishwasher and then leave them in there until they are dry. It is permissible to dab the base with a microfibre towel in order to accelerate this process, especially where the base is slightly concave, causing pooling.

The problem with this sort of story-telling approach is that a lot of people have skipped to the ending, and they don't like where the story's headed.

I'm fairly sure my weather app is a US one but this assessment of the latter stages of next week seems very English somehow...

Strong was he with the force. But not that strong.

Exactly this. I'm waiting (hoping) for one of the candidates to say that Sunak's big mistake was not to signal a clean break from Boris and Truss, and then set out, in word and (as far as possible in opposition) deed, what that clean break will look like under them.

Ain't gonna happen anyway. It's not as if we're playing Scotland 😂

Ah, so fourth knuckle is also first knuckle on the way back? I'm not sure it isn't easier just to learn it!

Am I doing this wrong? Fourth dip is August, which is 31, no?

She did what now? And more to the point, you're how old? I thought you were in your 70s...

Has to be done, apparently. Still a bang average stout though.

Honestly, they do say all this stuff but it's not how the media reports it.

To be strictly fair to them, they do. But they know they'll get asked "what does that mean for people's bills?", so they give that information too.

Well, I hope Rishi was better. Bollocks.

Mark Stockwell @markstockwell.bsky.social · 12/02/2024
As a Conservative who supports Crystal Palace, I'm trying to decide which has the greater potential to surprise on the up side this evening: Rishi on GB News or Palace on Sky Sports. My expectations of both are... not high.
