Another vital goal from Sesko but it’s becoming unfathomable to see him not starting, especially against teams who will drop deep and deny the space behind for most of the game (yes, I know how we scored.) Utd playing a lot of football without an attacking focal point and it shows…

Hope you all had a nice weekend out there. House is back to normal as the kids and wife are all back at school/work, and whilst it's peaceful, I do kinda miss them being around. (Don't tell them, obviously.)

We appear to have jumped from winter to April showers in the space of a day. Not totally complaining. It's a start. #BritishWeather

A brief interlude from calling for the abolishing of anachronistic institutions to watch the Skimo. This is the sort of awesome event that makes the Olympics great, especially in this snow. Love it. #WinterOlympics

www.youtube.com/watch?v=2udN... this one from @kuntandthegang.bsky.social and the Krown Jewelz needs an airing.

I have a whole series of books that begs to differ.

Seriously, abolish the monarchy. Be done with this archaic notion of bloodline affording you such a position of power and privilege. All my life it's been 'The Royals have no real power, they can't do any harm. They're just figureheads,' and that has now been completely blown out of the water...

www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c7... holy shit, lol! Many years too late, and don't stop there.

Catch up on my chat with the wonderful Justine Gilbert as we talked about her latest release, The Anna Puzzle, on the UK Crime Book Club last night. www.facebook.com/groups/ukcri...

Rest in Power Jesse Jackson.

The German bobsled is giving me DHL vibes. #WinterOlympics

What a race by Stoecker and Weston. Wow. Wow. Wow. #TeamGB

As parents, we should always teach our kids that violence isn’t the answer. Unless it’s against a Nazi. Always punch a Nazi. My kids know this rule, make sure yours do too. Props to this kid.

GET IN MATT WESTON!!!!!!! #TeamGB #WinterOlympics

He might manage City, but outside of football, Pep comes across as a thoroughly awesome bloke. In another universe, he inherited the United role after Fergie. That would have been something. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

15 years since Mike Skinner/The Streets released Computers & Blues. Sometimes an album comes along exactly when you need it. Mike's music often felt like it was soundtracking my life, but Computers & Blues hit in a very different timely way. Loved it now. Needed it then. My favourite Streets album.

Of course it was unlawful. One more step to reversing this ridiculous overreach by a government shitting itself on a near daily basis. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c8...

Typos like this always make me smile. This is why we edit. #AmEditing

An apology for his language is not an apology for what he meant, therefore not an apology at all, so Ratcliffe, can get to fuck. #MUFC

Three fantastic novels, all with averages over 4 stars on Amazon, for just 99p each on your Kindle? Go on then... mybook.to/DeadMenDontPay mybook.to/TheRegulatorsBenBruce mybook.to/ShadowOfMalice

Go on Matt Weston! #TeamGB

I don't live by many rules, but a hard and fast one is that if tax-dodging billionaires and former bankers are saying one thing, it's probably absolutely fucking bollocks.

My thoughts re: Ratcliffe's comments. Goes without saying that they were absolutely wrong. But it's his position as one of the faces of Manchester United that I needed to get my head round. He can have his opinions. We all know there's no such thing as a good billionaire...

RIP James Van Der Beek.

Uh, what’s going on in El Paso? Ten day NOTAM out of the blue?

Sesko is earning back his starting spot in the United team. The front three of Amad, Mbeumo and Cunha hasn’t got the necessary focal point and Sesko’s up turn in front of goal should allow him the chance to be that player. #MUFC

Having been on holiday in Barmouth and Fairbourne countless times, I'm really enjoying spotting the locations in Sky's Under Salt Marsh. An incredible part of the world. Love it there. #UnderSaltMarsh

Valentine's Day is coming up. If you want to show someone you really love them, buy them a book. And if you love (or even just moderately tolerate) me, make it one of mine! Link below.

All posts today are scheduled posts, because for the first time in years, I didn't stay up to watch the Super Bowl, so that I can watch it this evening with my son. Am on a complete social media/internet blackout until I'm caught up. This going to be very Likely Lads.

Two weeks of wall to wall sport all in glorious multiview! #WinterOlympics

If you see this, quote with a robot that isn’t from “Star Wars”, “Star Trek”’ “Dr Who”, or “Transformers.” (Although let’s be fair here, @peternimmo.bsky.social has won the game.)

Trump may have removed that video, but no one should forget he posted it, nor that his White House defended it.

Always remembered. Never forgotten.

Fancy a couple of new books on your Kindle for less than two quid? Of course you do. Links below.

Another good win for #TeamGB in the curling there.

First bit of #WinterOlympics watching tonight with the curling. You cannot beat the Olympics. Two and a half weeks of incredible sporting action coming up. I love it.

How the fuck are some easter eggs £15+ these days? Not even talking extravagant ones here. Toblerones, Dairy Milk and so on.

Listen back to yesterdays episode from about two hours in to hear what @vicminett.bsky.social called "The Most Cavalier Approach To Gameplay I've Ever Heard."

One thing that I find hard about writing, is writing out of the flow. I'm very much carried by the narrative (for better or worse) so adding a scene during the edit, I struggle to get the same traction with my writing. It gets there & it gets good, but I do my best writing in the moment. #AmWriting

Catch me on BBC CWR from 12 today talking about Nuneaton Jaguars Flag Football and playing Snake Escape with @vicminett.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p...

Dry January might be over, but before you go reaching for the wine, keep this in mind...

Finally sat down with A Complicated Woman from @selfesteem.music-social.com last night. Holy. Shit. What an incredible record. Prioritise Pleasure was amazing. This is on a par if not better. Genius.

January was not a good month for many reasons, but Februarys first act is sublime.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cv... This man is still in line for the throne, and is one of the more obvious reasons why the idea of monarchy is bat shit fucking mental.

Home Alone will hit hard next Christmas. RIP Catherine O’Hara.

In no functioning democracy, could a leader have so many allegations of the most heinous crimes made about them & still be allowed to assume the highest office. It should always be an honour, bestowed by the people, to the most deserving. Anyone facing so many allegations is not fit for office.

One of the worst parts of editing a novel, is where you come across a part in the story where you've clearly had The Best Idea In The World (TM) and inserted it mid flow, only to realise on review that it makes absolutely no sense at all. #AmEditing This is also a message for past me.

It’s easy to get caught up in the hyperbole of how “things are getting worse.” But they’re not. And if you look past the narratives & at the facts, things are improving. We just have to cut through the noise. Homicides at lowest level in nearly 50 years, ONS says www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Made myself one of those iPad/Kindle style images that seem to be all the rage on the ads these days. I don't think I've done too badly there. And the book's a bargain.

Why does this Wednesday feel like a Thursday? That’s not on at all.
