It's not a sport I'm particularly close to but if it was on terrestrial I'd be tempted to dip into it.

I know next to nothing about RL so I'll happily take your word for it. I used to love it back in the day but when it went to SKY it was dead to me, like Cycling is now it's on TNT.

The football is as one sided as the rugby or the rugby is as one sided as the football.

I saw the stage version and even though I knew the speech at the end was coming I was still a wreck.

Wakes up, puts radio on only for @bbc5live.bsky.social to he banging on about you guessed it, The Traitors. Switches off and jumps in the shower.

He's a couple of years older and stronger. Plus he was in a poor side. We were looking for him to carry us instead of us bailing him out. We have form for ruining players.

The Bride is watching it and I've just seen Hannah Fry. I'll give you that.

You watch it for me mate, but don't tell me about it. I can't avoid it on any BBC media as it is

Mick Yates @mickyates.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
Tell me I'm not the only one NOT watching Traitors?

We're in the early stages of hoping to move house and we're just filling in endless forms online for Solicitors, Surveyors and EPC and anything else we haven't done. Thanks for that photo, the Bittern is our holy grail, we've not seen one but heard them several times. One day...

There will be no detentions but crucifixions instead. Insane doesn't even begin to cover it

What bastard morning, not only did I wake up to hear that I'm causing a massive problem for the country by not having died the day before I drew my state pension, I've had the run around by some SKY chat box thingy. Now for my heart nurse and Specsavers.

Mick Yates @mickyates.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
I'm convinced of that.

I normally find when walking there's song, like it's an alarm call. The very second I stop, get the phone out silence ensues 🤫

Mick Yates @mickyates.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
Yeah, it gets frustrating at times. You can literally be standing under a tree where something is singing it's bag off and nothing registers. Better than nothing though.

An RSPB bloke at Conwy also told me that. You pays yet money...

Just been outside to look for Bats which drew a blank but Merlin did pick this up.

Well said mate.

Absolutely, I felt we respected the competition by staying to applaud the winners. It was also in my mind to not leave early as it might be the first and last time we get here on my lifetime. Again, no great insight required.

2/2 they'd published the Sporting rich list and something like 9 Citeh players were in the top 20 and I was fuming. How were we supposed to beat them when 3 or 4 injuries totally knackered us? So fuck 'em I'll glady display the Cup on my front window sill for a bit.

Mick Yates @mickyates.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
I drove down to the final 100% sure we weren't going to win, no great insight needed there. Wasn't massively disappointed we didn't, just felt the whole day was a bit flat. Had a decent night night in that London with some Mancs. Next morning absolutely gutted. I bought the Sunday Times and 1/2

The Bride has POA for her Mum who has dementia. Those £5k+ monthly invoices soon come round. She's in the throes of selling her mum's house stand the cost. It's been a real eye opener.

According to the weather forecast it's around 20⁰C this week so the strides will stay in the wardrobe a bit longer

Not a clue mate, but then I've only been on a train four times since lockdown

Good afternoon from Biddulph Country Park. Slowly but surely the bird song is returning.

Just stepped outside to wave the boy off. If it gets any colder I may have to abandon the shorts.
