Nick @nick.4glengate.net · 22/06/2026All-time leading world cup goal scorer changes national allegiance during tournament? That's against the rules, surely? 000
Nick @nick.4glengate.net · 18/05/2026Why are councils so unbelievably bad at UX design? Telling people to email one address, while actually sending their email somewhere else is confusing at best, and likely to put some people off from sending an email at all. Maybe that's the intention? 000
Nick @nick.4glengate.net · 02/04/2026I really, really, really need there to be a swimming pool just out of shot, otherwise this picture raises far too many questions. 110
Nick @nick.4glengate.net · 02/04/2026I'm pretty sure that's my large intestine. Not sure when I left it in a house in Ireland though. 011
Nick @nick.4glengate.net · 06/03/2026My fear is that it's just trailing an anniversary panel at a con. 110
Nick @nick.4glengate.net · 06/03/2026We used to bring the TV into the bar at the Geese & Fountain to show the Tour de France, but we didn't get many come in to watch it, sadly. 000
Nick @nick.4glengate.net · 05/03/2026You have to account for the painful amounts of alcohol duty and tax in the UK, but £7.50 should buy a very good pint of craft beer in most parts of the UK. 000
Nick @nick.4glengate.net · 05/03/2026Dare I ask, "what do you do with it?" I can't imagine eating the peel side. Licking the sugar side would result in the sugar melting and the lemon falling off the stick. So what is it for? Swirling in a drink? 100
Nick @nick.4glengate.net · 04/03/2026With the Russians proudly waving their flags, which rather takes the shine off the event, sadly. 010
Nick @nick.4glengate.net · 03/03/2026Almost as though the whole thing was a giant scam. Hard to believe with such principled men in charge though, eh? 240
Nick @nick.4glengate.net · 03/03/2026Even in this damaged world of crowd funders going nowhere they must have broken records for taking people's money, and giving them the square root of nothing at all. Over and over again, some punks. 010
Nick @nick.4glengate.net · 03/03/2026At this stage, 90% of the population would be like "you're welcome to him, to be honest" when the helicopters arrive. 0100
Nick @nick.4glengate.net · 02/03/2026Of course, these days, with fees and loans replacing grants, students generally do live in a very real world of part time work, shit housing and debt, so the whole concept is a generation out of date, but so is most rhetoric from the Labour right. 061
Nick @nick.4glengate.net · 02/03/2026But all those good and decent politics can be dismissed as unrealistic in the 'real world' if it's suggested that only students, with their cosseted existence, can adopt them. It's the cynic's defence against all principles. 130
Nick @nick.4glengate.net · 02/03/2026In their defence, it's much shorter than "disembark" and probably was in common use when the tube network was first built. 000
Nick @nick.4glengate.net · 01/03/2026All you can do is take solace in the hope that the wait staff will almost certainly have clocked what's going on, and told the kitchen staff, who will have taken pre-emptive revenge with some wasabi or sriracha. 010
Nick @nick.4glengate.net · 01/03/2026The Nicholas Hoult character in The Menu was pretty well observed. 010
Nick @nick.4glengate.net · 28/02/2026I'd say that is unbelievably rude, but of course it is all too believable. 010
Nick @nick.4glengate.net · 27/02/2026Don't do that, you tease. Isn't the by-election result enough for one day? 010
Nick @nick.4glengate.net · 27/02/2026Did she ask him, "which people? The result was only announced two minutes ago, which people say that?" 020
Nick @nick.4glengate.net · 27/02/2026Hannah Spencer's victory speech is such a restatement of human values: honesty, integrity, pride in her working class roots and her community. A beautiful thing . 000
Nick @nick.4glengate.net · 27/02/2026Delicious. Greens win. Labour third. Tories lost their deposit, I think. #gortonanddenton 030
Nick @nick.4glengate.net · 27/02/2026BBC comment that Nigel Farage has been "ever-present" on the campaign trail in the Gorton and Denton by-election, even though (a) there have been several reports of him being overseas during the election period, and (b) he's apparently not there today. He gets such a free ride. 1236
Nick @nick.4glengate.net · 27/02/2026They just can't cope with a party leader who isn't in parliament, because being in parliament is how you know a politician is important. Yet if Polanski had been the candidate, the media would have denounced the Greens for not having a local candidate. 021
Nick @nick.4glengate.net · 27/02/2026Dangerous game played by Labour's Lucy Powell claiming that unlike tonight's by-election, the general election will be about "who people want to form the next government, which will be between Labour and Reform". Unlikely people would choose another Labour government given experience of this one. 000
Nick @nick.4glengate.net · 27/02/2026You have to be resident here, not just visiting, because you need to be included on the electoral roll in order to have a vote. 011
Nick @nick.4glengate.net · 26/02/2026@brynleyheaven.bsky.social I think you asked who gets the credit for the Heath headline generator. Here's your answer... 010
Nick @nick.4glengate.net · 26/02/2026The greek yogurt / culture wars one is genius. I'm not even going to try to top it. 010
Nick @nick.4glengate.net · 26/02/2026The BBC report doesn't accuse her of hypocrisy or deceitfulness or even racism, all of which would be easy to pin on her. Instead the BBC effectively publicises her own statement claiming this will improve literacy standards in the county. 000
Nick @nick.4glengate.net · 26/02/2026Today Andrea Jenkyns, Reform mayor of Lincolnshire, has made a decision to cut all funding for English lessons for foreign nationals in the county. So Lincolnshire will no longer make the effort to help people integrate, but she will doubtless continue to criticise them if they struggle to do so. 100
Nick @nick.4glengate.net · 26/02/2026So Reform have been making headlines for the past couple of weeks frothing about the "millions" of foreign-born British residents who "cannot speak English” [as well as they speak smoother language]. 100
Nick @nick.4glengate.net · 26/02/2026Going for the Graham Linehan vote quite hard, here. They do know there's only one of him, right? 040
Nick @nick.4glengate.net · 26/02/2026@leicestermercury.co.uk headline "Rowett fears City star's season could be over" Story: second-choice left back, who most fans wanted rid off last summer, has been injured. Honestly their use of "star" to mean "has played for the first team in at least one competitive fixture" is really annoying. 000
Nick @nick.4glengate.net · 26/02/2026I don't think it's the point he thinks he is making though... 010
Nick @nick.4glengate.net · 26/02/2026Shouldn't the phrase be "leave everything on the pitch"? I know it's used both ways but isn't it supposed to mean you use up every bit of energy in the game and come back to the changing room completely empty and drained? Like "I could care less" instead of "couldn't". Anyway, good luck for today! 040
Nick @nick.4glengate.net · 26/02/2026You're not "only" anything! Bidspotter is fun even if you don't buy anything, but every so often there is a sous vide or a thermo or suchlike. I have a weakness for immersion blenders, which sounds like a fetish now I've written it down, but I promise it's above board! Only use them in the kitchen! 100

Nick @nick.4glengate.net · 24/02/2026I was just going to reply to your first post and say that Stephy was the let-down defensively, but then I see you've nailed it in the follow up. Definite signs of improvement, if we ever get JJ back on the pitch we will have a chance to be a decent side again. Daka's header was agonising. 110
Nick @nick.4glengate.net · 23/02/2026Yeah, turns out it is.
