Brit, funny-ish, a bit sweary (not fucking sorry). Retiring disgracefully. Cooking and eating, music (20th century), travel, reading, history, genealogy, photography, ex-archery. Swinging further left the older I get. Yes, there's gas in the car!

With each goal England score, Lee Dixon sounds more and more like he wants to commit seppuku. Let's have another three or four eh boys? #CROvENG

Blimey England! #CROvENG (Of course, it should mean that the second half will be a boring stroll - but this is Croatia...)

Man City fans thinking they can spot flaws in a decision made by three senior lawyers is the new Dads think they could win a game against Serena Williams.

Seems a little crazy when you think about it, but a row over football finances showing up how our country is being bought and sold is probably the biggest test that Burnham will face in his first year on the job.

I had a few thoughts on Manchester City which can't be squeezed into BlueSky character limits. If you're interested, I've resurrected a long-neglected blog. alittlebitmoreofme.wordpress.com/2026/09/30/m...

On the BBC News Katya Adler has just described Germany, where the far right AFD keep winning elections, as entering 'uncharted political territory'. Hmmm. Where Germany is concerned I think that territory is pretty well charted.

tonymurray1964 You see, Richard, your problem is that Reform is, basically, a bunch of horrible bastards doing horrible bastard things in a conspicuously horrible bastard way. In general, people don't like horrible bastards. I hope that's cleared things up for you Richard, you horrible bastard.

Had planned to watch Millwall v West Ham in honour of my dear old Dad, but I don't think I can. Too many fresh memories - and the expectation of a heavy defeat. Think I'll watch a couple of old episodes of Lovejoy (!) and check the result later.

Nice to see the Premier League has finally decided that two referees on the pitch is the way to go. Not sure having Jordan Henderson as one of them is quite the way to do it though. #BREvCHE

You would have to be blind not to see that this is aimed at the RNLI.

"Charities' actions in aiding and abetting the invasion of our country will be illegal under Reform UK."

Let them fuck around and find out. Remove all benefits and pensions because foreign residents don’t get those. The right to work, because asylum seekers don’t get that either. This country treats foreign residents of all flavours like shit; let them learn that. bsky.app/profile/gayr...
