London bound, on a beautiful sunny autumn morning in the Toon. What's it like down there?

Blue Lumo train pulling into Newcastle central station.

We don't like Mondays... Now it ain't so neat to admit defeat, as Sir Bob sang. #NUFC ◼️🔲◼️🔲◼️🔲◼️

The ref has been shit, but we've been even shitter. Very few positives? I can't think of any really... #NUFC #thefootball

No wonder Hall wants a foul, he's been dragged over! Joelinton was very poor though.

I went to Benidorm ironically and still regretted it 😆

I think my daughter would prefer *reckless abandon*, but us of a certain age are happy with gay ☺️

Quick and dirty mapo tofu, using the mince left over from yesterday's chilli con carne. Such a flavour bomb for something that takes about 15 minutes! Just needs an ice cold lager and I'm in heaven.

Wow, that's quite something! So the old cartoon is true after all.

"Matt and I guzzled sparkling water. We spoke about something. I forget what. Probably either Steely Dan or Lotto Intermarché." Beautiful Ned. Nobody else writes about sport quite like this 😀

It's only 2 weeks ago that I got back from Sevilla, and temperatures in the mid 30s. But I had to wear a hat to pop to the shops last night, and I think that really brought it home to me. That said, trees are mostly still green here, so it feels more autumnal than it looks.

I always say that I can't remember mine because I never have to ring it! Generally gets a smile, and gets me off the hook ☺️

I wrote about Jim Bakker, whose parasocial style of grifter evangelism seemed freakish to mainstream society in the 80s and is now the machinery by which mainstream society operates

The Death and Afterlife of an American Con Man

Jim Bakker’s vision of the future came to pass. Just not in the way the disgraced televangelist imagined.

It's all innocent fun, and god knows we need a laugh these days. Fucking po-faced councillors can do one!

In it, yes. You can't go through it any more - and tbh the courthouse looks half derelict, so it's probably for the best!

And a few stills from the visit. The execution cell was particularly grim.

Crumlin Road Gaol. Well worth the visit if you're in Belfast.

Mackerel is indeed the king of fish, but Portuguese sardines are the business! I'm fancying something along those lines for supper tonight 😋

I rather like my Belfast fridge magnet 😀 #Harland&Wolff

Fridge magnet depicting the iconic twin yellow gantry cranes, Samson and Goliath, which dominate the Belfast skyline. And the top of a Lisbon tram magnet too.

36 hours after leaving the house I'm back home. And yet we've had a day and a half in Belfast! Packed in the sights, and the pubs, walked for miles - but with a 34 minute flight from NCL, it's not felt like a mad rush. Would definitely do it again! But fucking knackered now 🥱

The Sunflower is a lovely friendly pub, but the security cage outside is a reminder that violent times were not that long ago. #belfast

A little reminder from the streets of Belfast. #respect

It's not hard to have respect for people. Belfast Street art.

Molly has found her natural environment in Belfast already. There's loads of street art and massive murals.

Paul J White @pauljwhite.eurosky.social · 05/10/2026

Just taking Molly for a flying visit, as she's never been - and tbh, I've not been since there was barbed wire and machine gun turrets! So a bit of history, culture, food and drink. It's better than working, lol 😆

Paul J White @pauljwhite.eurosky.social · 05/10/2026

A rather more modest jaunt to Belfast for us. Should be there for lunchtime 😋 But I'm rather jealous. Georgian food and wine, yum!

That's just piss poor parenting. Gentle still needs boundaries.

I've always loved @pressuredropbrw.bsky.social but we don't see much of it up north these days. Different distributors maybe, and I guess more great local brewers in Northumberland and Newcastle - but I do miss them.

I'm going to a wedding party tonight, so dinner will be whatever is on the buffet! I'll report back later 😄

Flu and COVID done here. Shingles to follow later this month. If I get ill this winter, I shall be very annoyed 😆

That's a great story Sid, thanks for that 😀

I'm meeting my best friend up from Hastings on Thurs, so Fri is my free day - then home Sat. But I can be anywhere on Fri evening! Probably staying Hoxton/Hackney way, but I know my way around :-) And @southlondongirl.bsky.social wants to come out and play.

Anchovy, olives and capers is the best pizza topping combo. Anyone who disagrees is simply wrong 😄

@southlondongirl.bsky.social @tania-nexust.bsky.social @hassinator.bsky.social I'm going to be in London 2 weeks today (Fri 16) and wondered if any London peeps I know here but have never met IRL, might fancy a drink, supper or something to put faces to names? Anyone else in London, I don't remember

Paul J White @pauljwhite.eurosky.social · 02/10/2026

I was going to head down, but my arm is killing after yesterday's jabs and I feel a bit under the weather. Hopefully see you Sunday at Donzoko for James's last shift.

Paul J White @pauljwhite.eurosky.social · 02/10/2026

Sevilla too. There's a big encampment under the Setas today.

Paul J White @pauljwhite.eurosky.social · 02/10/2026

Thanks! She's actually just come home today, and my daughter Molly has made mince and dumplings, which she's taking over after work for their supper.

Paul J White @pauljwhite.eurosky.social · 02/10/2026

Yeah, so it would seem. My mother has been in hospital with pneumonia these last few weeks, and she's found that out 😠

I dunno what attracts some people to the "caring professions" when they don't much seem to care.

Paul J White @pauljwhite.eurosky.social · 02/10/2026

I'm not left handed. I think it was just down to where the chairs had been placed, and she wasn't having any messing around! It's not like it was even particularly busy 😐
