Nice! 👍 A friend in Bristol who I share wine tips with picked it up for me at Grape & Grind, Bristol. Is there anywhere nearer to me in Norfolk who you supply?

@daniellambertwines.bsky.social I just got round to trying this recommendation. Oh my word, it is wonderful!

Now I haven't listened to this for maybe 25 years. Thanks for the prompt, tomorrow's listening is sorted.

Only just, and then only if you listen very hard! (Not that I will, because I didn’t really enjoy it and so probably won’t listen again).

After 50+ years of attending Carrow Road, standing/ sitting in the same area of the River End with my dad and now my son, I should be really upset at this loss of continuity & belonging. However, I feel so disengaged with the club on and off the pitch right now that I can’t be arsed to argue.

Last year, my dear friend David Knowles passed away. He was 32, and had an undiagnosed heart condition. This weekend, the cricket team he founded will be playing a game to raise money for the BHF, to help fund their research. Please share and donate if you can www.justgiving.com/page/rhcc-vs...

Thanks Ben- glad to see you engaging so positively to such challenges. Fair points you make. Your predecessor here in Wymondham @georgefreemanmp.bsky.social could learn a lot from you.

Two days ago, the Prime Minister said, “For too long, blockers have had the upper hand in legal challenges… We're putting an end to this challenge culture by taking on the NIMBYs and a broken system that has slowed down our progress as a nation.” You can’t have it both ways.

Yep, and some really weird-shit lyrics. And you could hear the genesis of some of the later Heaven 17 stuff as well. Definitely ahead of their time and interesting to listen through the lens (can you listen thro a lens?🤪) of 45 years gone by.

Brilliant! I have no idea from this piece if his team is playing well or not! I’m now trying to imagine his team talks, and the confusion on the players’ faces! A superb find, thanks for sharing. 😂

Keep seeing people say "but what has actually been done?" in *just* the first 5 months of the Labour government. A. Tons. Most of media (Tory supporting) are fixated on driving a daily negative narrative and not interested in highlighting the positive steps taken. There's 4.5 years to go folks.

I used to enjoy the rough & tumble between the two leaders at PMQs. But @kemibadenochmp.bsky.social is awful. She offers no challenge to @kierstarmer.bsky.social, gifting a free hit with every question. The lack of effective challenge weakens our democracy. How have the Tories become so talentless?

Anyway, I must go- a quick bus ride into the city and a couple of pints before the game await! Enjoy the game this afternoon. I’ll look out for your result. 🤞🏻

Who knows? Apparently some Spanish clubs are tracking him. If his form continues, he’ll be spoilt for choice. But that’s discounting the blistering second half of the season that we’ll have- injury free, rolling over everyone in our path and yet another promotion. (Matron….I’m having another turn!😂)
110
Richard Houghton @richwindsurf.bsky.social · 30/11/2024
You’re confusing him with Onel Hernandez. He bleeds yellow and green, and has the canary tattoo. He’s towards the end of his career and will end up coaching at Norwich I reckon. Sainz is young and clearly can play at a higher level. If Norwich can’t deliver that in the summer, he’ll be away.
110
Richard Houghton @richwindsurf.bsky.social · 30/11/2024
The new owner has explicitly said we won’t sell him in January. So I guess it then depends on how the season finishes- promotion and he’ll stay/ if not, adios!
110
Richard Houghton @richwindsurf.bsky.social · 30/11/2024
Yep, that’s exactly my point. If we have close to a full strength team out, the fast, attacking threat easily compensates for the fact that we’ll always ship silly goals. If not, then you get what was served up against Bristol, Cardiff, and the dreadful surrender at Sheffield Weds.
110
Richard Houghton @richwindsurf.bsky.social · 30/11/2024
If we’re injury/ suspension free, you might see a different result this time. If not, odds on you’ll maintain your 100% record!

Richard Houghton @richwindsurf.bsky.social · 30/11/2024
As for the football: I saw the Hammers for the first time this season against Newcastle. Exciting going forward, frail at the back would be my summary. I’m not sure I would be optimistic today. As for me- I’m looking forward to another goalfest at Carrow Road! Whatever happens, enjoy the game.🤞🏻⚽️
