Rick Welch @sossidge.bsky.social · 7hthanks, yep just about within my budget, guess it’s only the price of five sought-after albums. I would indeed rather go for something I won’t outgrow… cheers! 010
Rick Welch @sossidge.bsky.social · 8hapologies if you’ve mentioned it before and I missed it, but can you share a link to your cleaner please…? (wary of spending without a real recommendation) 110
Rick Welch @sossidge.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Saw Rees-Mogg when Truss was PM and he was getting pelters, running the gauntlet in Birmingham. Just seen him again, and it was glorious. No-one giving him a second glance… irrelevant, powerless and just an embarrassment 000
Rick Welch @sossidge.bsky.social · 05/10/2026where’s that nob who said: The only good thing about Birmingham is Nando’s? 010
Rick Welch @sossidge.bsky.social · 05/10/2026was thinking earlier that mebbz A House need to rewrite Endless Art with still-alive-artists 000
Rick Welch @sossidge.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Jeffrey Archer… actually dead or just more lies to enrich himself? does he have a new book out? #oxford 000
Rick Welch @sossidge.bsky.social · 05/10/2026loving all the hot takes about Birmingham from political journos - keep telling me more about the ways £800m funding cuts since 2010 have made Birmingham not as good as London or Manchester 000
Rick Welch @sossidge.bsky.social · 05/10/2026the Hyatt hotel rooms that these arseholes peered out of this morning would greet them with bumper to bumper exhaust fumes and utter gridlock, ooh but hang on it’s far more pleasant all round now private vehicles are banned from that stretch of Broad St 010
Rick Welch @sossidge.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Greens are effectively 17/2 on Betfair, which is an efficient market rather than a bookie with a pencil (in case you are putting a tenner on on the side) 010
Rick Welch @sossidge.bsky.social · 03/10/2026 Ian Duncan Smith - August 2023 announced that he fully supported Kevin Rees’ and other blade runners actions against Ulez cameras. I can find no record that his opinion has changed since then. 010
Rick Welch @sossidge.bsky.social · 02/10/2026or “laff at the dog” but no clue on the preceding “job” line. Jeez 010
Rick Welch @sossidge.bsky.social · 02/10/2026looks like “tripped on a bull” - b very similar to others on the page …. last verse looks identical to what we know apart from an attempted rhyme of job & bog (handwriting deteriorating even from the top of the page) 110
Rick Welch @sossidge.bsky.social · 02/10/2026and later I had junk in a bag, the welcome to save - the way it looks, but scarcely makes any sense or even rhyme; gawd knows 110
Rick Welch @sossidge.bsky.social · 02/10/2026ah, fifteen years… probably about right. Hopefully that will be a deterrent to other potential killers 000
Rick Welch @sossidge.bsky.social · 01/10/2026this guy took 17 years to get a #hmhb Footprints reference… took me those 17 plus another 16. my excuse is that I can’t stand The Doors and always switch them off #golfclubs 010
Rick Welch @sossidge.bsky.social · 01/10/2026give it six months then listen to the audiobook - extraordinary 010
Rick Welch @sossidge.bsky.social · 01/10/2026US ten-year borrowing was 4% earlier in the year, but has edged above 5.3% this morning… could really be some serious shit brewing 000
Rick Welch @sossidge.bsky.social · 30/09/2026it could definitely be the starting point for a philosophical debate or even a thesis… I lose track week by week on whether the far right love Jews or want them all dead again?! 110
Rick Welch @sossidge.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Ed Miliband getting a bit of heat on Twitter for •checks notes• expressing relief that all the plane passengers didn’t die… 100
Rick Welch @sossidge.bsky.social · 30/09/2026“you lost, get over it” as brexiteers are so keen on saying… 000
Rick Welch @sossidge.bsky.social · 30/09/2026there’s still a sub-section of the population who don’t say “uber” or “taxi” but instead “I’m gonna get a Joe” 001
Rick Welch @sossidge.bsky.social · 29/09/2026It is just insane. At least one car every minute of the day, and it only bastard leads to a no-vehicle tramway. I reported someone on 2nd September driving six weeks after MoT expiry but I’m expecting NFA 020
Rick Welch @sossidge.bsky.social · 29/09/2026not seen Burnham’s speech yet…. did he open with “myyyyyyyyy mother-in-law……” ? 000
Rick Welch @sossidge.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Danny Tommo refused bail - trial 1st of March ! hurrah 010
Rick Welch @sossidge.bsky.social · 28/09/2026how long to see a hundred of these in Birmingham? less than an hour, I reckon 000
Rick Welch @sossidge.bsky.social · 27/09/2026can never trust anyone who uses five syllables “one hundred per cent” when a simple “yes” is quicker and clearer, but now the fuckers have started writing it as “100pc” rather than “100%” . arseholes 000
Rick Welch @sossidge.bsky.social · 26/09/2026ta, got it now, just thought they were being suitably strange 000
Rick Welch @sossidge.bsky.social · 25/09/2026they usually have yellow paint on the floor where pitch is visible and you can’t take your drink 000
Rick Welch @sossidge.bsky.social · 25/09/2026tho she couldn’t exactly ban alcohol in stadia as the big breweries were huge tory donors at the time 000
Rick Welch @sossidge.bsky.social · 25/09/2026there has never been an in-stadium ban. Thatcher passed a law that you can’t drink “in sight of the pitch” so you can drink unlimited amounts if your eyeline is blocked by metal screens. Utterly absurd, but she didn’t really understand the working class, football… so many things 211
Rick Welch @sossidge.bsky.social · 24/09/2026who shot what, who? a bazooka was who, and to my surprise it was the S1Ws - blackshorts in the hour of chaos at Basingstoke Jail 001

Rick Welch @sossidge.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I think the polls with Reform at 30% were the ones they faked 100
Rick Welch @sossidge.bsky.social · 24/09/2026their concentration in certain areas and minimal chance of seats in Scotland, Wales and big cities spread this out too thinly. There was never a scenario of their winning 326 seats, in my opinion. We’ll have to agree to differ. 110
Rick Welch @sossidge.bsky.social · 24/09/2026not sure who told you this. Reform majority has never been higher than a 30% chance on Betfair and is now less than 10%. 321
Rick Welch @sossidge.bsky.social · 24/09/2026there has never been a time when polls suggested Reform would win the most seats. Yes, they were highest percentage for a few months but this doesn’t convert proportionately into seats, fairly obviously 030
Rick Welch @sossidge.bsky.social · 22/09/2026oops, I’ve embarrassed myself here… that was Cupid Stunt. Cunning Stunts has definitely been a popular pub quiz team name since at least the nineties tho 110
Rick Welch @sossidge.bsky.social · 22/09/2026surely ITVX has room to put the whole lot on…? I’d be hooked for a fortnight. Feels like it has never really been repeated in full? 120
