Alright, but apart from marketing, advertising, video, copywriting, media relations and P.R., what’s Robin ever done for us? Opinions are mine. #BLM #YNWA 🌈

@rstrye.bsky.social So, we did it. It’ll take us a while to find our feet and while we will miss friends and places like TM’s we are glad to have an international border between us and all the toxicity. YNWA

So after 17 years in my case or a lifetime for @kriskarla.bsky.social , it was time to leave. Furniture shipped, cats being chauffeured, suitcases packed, and after years of planning, we’ve started our new life. Bienvenidos a México. ❤️

Well done Democrats. Six weeks of turmoil and what did it get you? A couple of vague promises that Trump, Johnson et al will never honor. Election results that signify real hope one week, and then you piss it all away the next. This is how Trump won last year, and you didn’t learn shit. Spineless.

If Obama were POTUS and was planning to go to a football game while the Govt was shut down, thousands of flights were cancelled, people were going without food and workers were unpaid, Trump would call him a disgrace. And Trump would be right.

Freddie Mercury came to the UK as a kid because people that looked like him were being killed back home in Zanzibar. In the UK, he formed Queen. In the UK, he became a global icon. 📍 Liverpool, where Freddie Mercury met Brian May

Hey @dailymail.co.uk we fixed your newspapers for you 💋 Lord Rothermere who owns the Daily Mail pays NO TAX in the UK. The rest of us fund public services, he CHOSES not to. Yet we’re supposed to believe problems in the NHS are migrants’ fault? The utter cheek.

Ah yes, quite possibly. There’s nothing like prejudice to make a big deal out of something that isn’t a big deal.

That’s fascinating. I wonder how that got started. In Europe and everywhere else I’ve been around the world, everyone (even the Royals) uses fork in left and knife in right. I wonder who decided that that was vulgar and that it was more genteel to switch back and forth.

Robin Johnston @robinjohnston24.bsky.social · 13/10/2025
And another one - why in America (maybe it’s just in the Midwest?) do people cut food with their fork in their left hand and their knife in their right, but then put down the knife and transfer the fork to the right hand to eat the food. This has always puzzled me.

Suggestion - why is it that if you’re having dinner with a friend in the U.S. and you finish first the waiter will remove your plate, but in Europe they don’t remove empty/dirty plates until everyone at the table has finished.

As a Liverpool fan I’ve always admired him as a player, but no matter how good he is it doesn’t make up for his clear failings as a human being. Disgraceful behavior.

Our first visit to Puerto Vallarta we went on a whale cruise. There are parts of the bay where you can’t go within a quarter mile of them, but sometimes there are so many they just swim right past you. This was one of our first sightings, and remains one of the main reasons we’re moving there.

They are stunning. It’s also always fun posting fluke photos to HappyWhale.com and seeing where they’ve traveled to and from.

Hmmmm. I was thinking this at the weekend. Somehow a #Liverpool song talking about #Juventus “crying in Turin” just seemed to cross a line, for me anyway. I know it’s not in any way a reference to 1985 but I made that connection pretty much the first time I heard it and now I can’t unhear it. #YNWA

Why the Federico Chiesa chant is making some Liverpool fans very uncomfortable
However well-intentioned, the song used to serenade Liverpool's Italian international risks reopening old emotional wounds

The response of the players, the club and the fans says everything about why I love this club, and also shows that YNWA is not just a slogan, it’s our DNA.

14 penalties, 9 misses. As they took them I was yelling which way it way going and I was nearly always right. The women’s game has improved dramatically over the last few years, but that was the worst series of spot kicks I’ve ever seen. Well done #Lionesses, but 🫣

Yes, that’s what it’s titled, and you have to click and scroll to find out that the big revelation is that the teammate says “he’s going to try really hard”. If that’s not clickbait then it’s burying the lede, possibly because the ‘lede’ wasn’t worth writing about in the first place.

It’s been a fun 11 years. Thanks Mayor Duggan for launching this program, thanks to employers who provided 87,000+ jobs and to the media for working with me to create a decade of uplifting stories. I’ll treasure the memories. 🙏🫶

That’s a very nicely written piece 👏 After what he’d done and achieved over the last six weeks, it could be said that his star has gone out just at the very moment that it was at its brightest. Like I suspect all Liverpool fans, I almost feel I knew him and I’m incredibly upset. 😢 #YNWA #Diogo

AI systems are built on English – but not the kind most of the world speaks
AI models too often produce a monolithic version of English that erases variation.

I get that there’s a need to put out lots of content, and I know that nothing drives social engagement more than controversy and animosity, but really? Is this what passes for a story now? I know it’s the off season but FFS there must be other stuff to write about.

40 years ago today. I remember it clearly. Coming home from work, flipping on the TV to watch my beloved #Liverpool play in their 5th European Cup final in 9 years, and knowing instantly that something was terribly wrong. Heartbreaking. The regret never leaves. 💔 #LFC #Juventus #ThirtyNine #YNWA
