Joined Bluesky in November 2024 when Twitter became too much. This place is just as bad the other way. Where do I go for a truly neutral service that isn't an echo chamber? Does this even exist?

Dear Americans at football World Cup matches. This isn't Baseball. You give the balls back.

Person not into football makes an observation based on no knowledge and turns it into a race thing. Then blocks replies because is told the reality. England are ranked way above DR Congo so therefore losing would be a shock, although not impossible. @lucyantal.bsky.social

Walking round the local fields last night, guy walking his dog whilst cutting overhanging branches off. Said to me he's doing it because the council spend all their money on immigrants. Pointed out it is leased to private people who have stopped doing it.

As a young coach, Karl Robinson looked at all the managers in the world, and said to himself "I want to be like Neil Warnock".

If anyone would like two tickets to see the awesome Seth Lakeman in Manchester tonight, I can't make it and would be happy to give away to anyone.

@simonmarksfsn.bsky.social I hope you are managing to get enough rest Simon. You have been working 24/7 for so long now, and seems like only about to get worse. You are doing great work. Thank you.

Who seriously would have thought that when students study the causes of world war three, the judging panel of the Nobel Peace Prize will be a key part of that curriculum.

Home Alone is live action Tom and Jerry with parental neglect. Elf is 20 minutes of mild fun and 70 minutes of dreadfulness. Die Hard was a summer blockbuster.

How do I stop all the content on here of the adult babies crying about how brilliant the post 1983 Star Wars content is and why we are wring for thinking otherwise? How has this ended up on my algorithm?

I can't believe we have all been proven wrong when we thought #FIFA had hit rock bottom under Blatter. How has Infantino made things even worse? I just don't think I'll be watching this world cup.

011

Graham Lees @oafcboss.bsky.social · 06/12/2025

How is it possible for FIFA to be more of an embarrassment after Sepp Blatter? Time to form a rival body. They are far too gone and corrupt.

Have managed to not hear Last Christmas by Wham three December's in a row, without even trying. It's easy when you don't listen to shit radio stations.

Some special type of awfulness when we are now harking back to the better days of FIFA under Sepp Blatter. #infantino

When people try and tell you that there is no diving in women's football, refer them to this match.

I find it saddening that WW3 should have been allowed to happen on the back of the votes of American white supremacists and the idiots who believe all Trumps lies. You voted for a Russian asset, and he is only interested in self preservation.

I imagine if Everton fans start to sing "you're getting sacked in the morning" they will be referring to one of the Old Trafford cleaners.

Considering the masses of money humankind have gained from decimating wild habitats throughout the world and especially the UK, I don't think £100m is much to spend on a Bat house.

I have said it many times before. The USA is the most bizarre place in the world. They don't realise just how much like North Korea they are.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I would suggest that the bloke from brew dog hasn't wandered around french towns looking for something to eat outside of the.2 hours at lunchtime and 2 hours in the evening. Everywhere is shut.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social This guy is unreal James. If his staff have to work 50 hrs a week to start to live a life outside of work, then he is taking advantage of desperate people.

So Dorries believes Musk is doing good things for Britain. In this uncertain world, it's good to know you can set your clock to her being batshit crazy.

Graham Lees @oafcboss.bsky.social · 07/01/2025

Let's face it if Jess Phillips were to debate Musk or Trump in public, the humiliation these narcissists would suffer would probably mean we would never see or hear either of them again.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Welcome back James. One of the most depressing takes today was after Starmer gave an excellent speech of substance, younhad a caller to say it was just boring. This boring trope has really worked as people no longer listen to words. Found that very sad.

I can see why The Substance divides opinion. Me, I hates it. And yeah I understood the metaphors etc, just thought it was dull.

Shocked at that decision, but not shocked at the sportsmanship of Dave Allen. He is the people's champ. Decision has gone to the future potential money maker if I was being a cynic.

I regard Wolf Hall as I do The Wire and Deadwood. Brilliant television, the whole cast are superb. Mark Rylance is as good as Ian McShane was in Deadwood.

The Day of the Jackal series has been pretty bad all through. There are no similarities with this series and Forsyth's novel apart from the fact there is an assassin. Using the title is a cynical move to increase viewers. It has a lot of love it seems so what do I know?
