Timezones are so weird. Australia is in 2026, Canada is in 2025, and the United States is in 1939.

If its true that Cummings is setting up a new right wing political party, with Musks backing, then surely thats just going to split the loony right vote even further. If Badonoch manages to stay leader until the next election that will be 3 loony leaders for the right to choose from.

Bloody happy with that, kids looked great, no injury's, Neville will be fumin haha. Is that a winning streak we're on now, or am I being too optimistic?

Why are Sale (rugby union if you're confused) so pants in Europe? We punch above our weight in the Premiership, but almost every year we get smashed by, on paper, inferior clubs.

Morning all, my mother, who is a Utd fan of nearly 80yrs, told me yesterday that she will be routing for City today. I think she's trying to be kind, either that or that dementia is kicking in haha. I hope we play a strong team and put 10 past those Salford rags. Feels a bit like a derby!

Regardless of what the 1 stands for in #5albums70s1 this must be a massive contender

I love it when the decorations come down, house seems bigger, cleaner, fresher, less claustrophobic etc. Feel as though I can breath and relax. Just need the snow to piss off now!

Simon @umptybollox.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

Hard for me to say, but I am a pragmatist and I would prefer to see anyone win the league apart from Liverpool, and Utd have been decent (relatively speaking). I still fully expect Liverpool to win but you never know. It's a funny old game

Finally, even though we were still a bit shit. Positives - clean sheet, KDB 90 mins, McAtee comes on and made a difference, the big man finally scores and Savinho showing his potential. We still look leggy, sloppy and nervy though, so we still need improvements. Next up the transfer window.

When I bought this single back in the 70's I didn't know what the word 'orgasm' meant, I assumed it was a technical term for orgy (which I did know the meaning of). Turns out it was an introduction to my lifelong love of the Buzzcocks

Right just sat down, and poured myself a large refreshing drink vodka if your curious. Hour or so before a rather important match and I'm not confident. I expect to batter them for 85 minutes and lose 3-1. Hey ho it's only footie anyway and as they say, always look on the bright side of life #CTID
