Trump's in full "say the evil part out loud" mode. Makes it explicitly clear that he ordered the US into Venezuela to take their oil. Meanwhile Starmer is still in wait-and-see mode. Jelly is like concrete next to him.

West ham doing a Pompey away day!!!

Watched Sinners tonight. I just started watching, and lad stuck his head in and smiling knowingly and said, "You know what happens in this." Got to the second half and bingo. i know what he was getting at. Great movie. Well acted and shot.

Gaffer For A Day: #Pompey simply haven't spent enough - and aren't even getting value on those they have bought.

There's bad and then there is this Pompey side. Owners, recruitment team, coaching staff and players have a huge month. Sunday could be very toxic.

Someone said five nil on here. Bang on.

All credit to Mousinho getting Pompey to The Championship and surviving last season, but sadly I think it's going to be a tough job for them to survive again with their squad 🙁 4-0 now, Struber wanted a reaction from the Millwall loss and he's getting one

We are terrible today. Really could end up a cricket score. You have to question the recruitment in the summer. We no better than last year. We miss Potts.

Buy music. Buy it from independent retailers. Head to @hundredrecords.bsky.social for bargains ! If you're at home right now and suitably drunk it's definitely time to do online shopping!

We had to put a stop to our NYE plans today as the wife and i are suffering chesty cough. A busy day had to cancelled/postponed and will be bed in a bit. So Happy New Year to all. Hope we all have a great 2026 youtu.be/dikM7VPe3zg?...

Happy New Year everyone. Here’s another thread of party playlists, this time recreating the sounds of some legendary clubs Paradise Garage open.spotify.com/playlist/2s5... Haçienda open.spotify.com/playlist/4N1... Wigan Casino open.spotify.com/playlist/1xa... Shoom open.spotify.com/playlist/5YR...

I bought more new records in 2025 than i have for a few years. Has helped. I have my decks set up again. Bought lots of disco edits & house stuff but every now and then still like a track to scrunch my face up too and punch the air.Tops off raving around the record room youtu.be/fJEL-DCC_7U?...

It's one of my favourite tracks for 2025. Both sides are great. This side edges it for me. youtu.be/15xErhM5u4Q?...

Was always down with soulful side of house. Loved Masters and Blaze. Did not think records like that still got made. This is just classic soulful house but made in 2025. Also shout out for Ron Carroll who is on vocals but sadly passed in September youtu.be/JCxUPBDVt3k?...

As the year comes to an end. There are a couple of things i have loved this year. I raved on about the Chaos In The Cbd album a few times. Thought it was too jazz hands at first but have found it essential. youtu.be/8a_crGboHdg?...

The whole family came to football tonight. What an end to the game. They equalised in injury time. The agony. Another set piece goal conceded. Two points dropped, then from the kick-off straight up the Fratton End and Yang scores. Absolute scenes. The wife thought I was going to explode. The ecstasy

the low and high of that was mental. get in #pompey

Love a bit of Murk! #raveyardshift youtu.be/19h1IaijxgA?...

Took a walk out today just west of Fareham to see the works on the closed M27 motorway. They started Christmas Eve. The concrete structure for the new underpass was in place, and they were back filling the sides today.

Back to a big DIPA ! Rivington- Evil Dead 2 Pours golden hazy creamy head. Big dose of NZ hops. Grapefruit gooseberries grapes by the bucket load Long lasting flavours with a dry white wine sign off Big Bold Beautiful #BskyBeer #DIPA

Boxing day beer while sorting the cold meat and mash. One of the Verdant beers my lad got me for Crimbo. In collaboration with Garage, a lovely dank IPA called Uncensored Sports Parade. Gave it a 4. Very nice hop soup #bskybeer

It's pretty much a story of our season. Goals are hard to come by, and we conceed from a set piece again. Worry how we going to change. Going on Monday PUP

Had a great day and i am lucky to have good friends and famly and a decent table. However you spend your Christmas I hope you are having a good day. If you are struggling then I hope tomorrow is a better day. Merry Christmas to all. youtu.be/eOOgPFhID5E?...

Early Christmas morning at Hayling. The wife's swim lot all went in. We then had sausage baps and bucks fizz on the beach. Was lovely

Family tradition and we were at the Panto at the King's. Very good tradition Christmas panto. All the classics. Christmas has started.

Pre panto scran and beers at Huis in Southsea. Had two winter ales. A bottle of De Le Senne Xmas Scheive gave it 4. It was malty, biscuity, and lovely and a bottle of Delirium Christmas ale. Gave it 3.75. It was sweet and spicy. It's a shame you could taste the 10% abv. #bskybeer Huis is great

As a big fan of red ales, it's great to see so many breweries producing them this Christmas. This is a real treat from Beak. #bskybeer

Some festive reading for you: a conversation with the mighty Ron Trent about some of his musical inspirations, for the lovely people at Rush Hour in Amsterdam rushhourmusic.substack.com/p/ron-trent-...

Sending love to everyone who finds the Christmas period an uphill climb. There are a hundred very valid and totally understandable reasons for this. Whether you reach out for help, or hunker down in your cave, good luck. We’ll get through this.

Suella Braverman’s parents emigrated (those horrible economic migrants not from a war zone she hates). She went to Cambridge for free and didn’t collect £27k debt like everyone else. Scrounger. She used the Erasmus scheme to study in France. Which she has blocked. Horrible.

Last day of work 2025. On the journey in and the playlist gifted this beauty. Proper last day vibes youtu.be/m95v-IKlLPk?...

🎄

The EPSTEIN Files are a much quicker read than I expected.

Happy with that point #pompey

Friday chef duties. Having a Polly's pale ale Lupo Capisoo. Gave it 4. It's a crispy fruity pale. Polly's class as always. Picked this one up in Sainsbury's. Cool, you can get beer this good at the supermarket. #bskybeer

Our boy has eaten something he shouldn't have so expensive afternoon at the vets. After x rays and ultrasound, it's something he can hopefully pass with medication.🤞 then no surgery. We got pet insurance, thank the stars. Well, the sensible wife. The lad gone to get him. He loves that cat !!!

Richard Tice eager to be seen to support Ukraine. I wonder why? Meanwhile it was Tice, warned of the FBI investigation in 2017, who triggered Oakeshott to check the emails of Wigmore and Banks and discover a rash of hidden Russian meetings I wonder if there’s another tipoff now

Saw Kaleb last night with all the family. Interesting insight into Clarkson Farm and about his drive and ambition to own a farm. A couple of dubious moments when discussing farmers' and inheritance taxes and British farming standards being better than EU ones but overall a good night out

When oh when are the British people going to receive an apology from Nigel Farage and the other UKIP liars!

I treated myself to Book 2 of @hammyrm.bsky.social Dance Pages 1983 - 1989. Snippet of June 1989 with James Hamilton's description of Soul ll Soul's Back To Life as a "terrific chunky unhurried percussion 100bpm sinuous jogger". Marvelous!!! Tell a family member you want/need this book for Xmas. 🔥

Thanks to everyone (especially @adambarnett.bsky.social) for the suggestions. There were so many pro-Putin statements by Farage, we turned them into a Griftmas Advent Calendar bylinetimes.com/2025/12/10/n...

At Hayling at sunrise with the wife's swim lot.

Back home from two days in London. Got a bit of record shopping in early doors this morning. Picked up a good copy of ' in the mix' in Greenwich. Then, when in town popped into Phonica. Was Saturday busy, which is great to see.

Back on the Yonder. A whole can of Maple, Banana & Blueberry Pancake Pastry Sour to myself. Still amazed at the witchcraft that makes a 7% beer taste like a smoothie. #bskybeer #pastrysour

The better half surprised me yesterday. We were in the audience for the Last Leg. Josh and Alex hosted. They were great with the audience in the ad breaks. Hillsie turned up at the end. The magic of TV

Having a beer in Brewdog Seven Dials. Had a Polly's & Brewdog collab. A DIPA called Double Woof. Gave it 4, and it's has a nice bitter end with the fruity bosh. Polly's class shines through #bskybeer

The wife dragged me to Mumford and Sons at the O2 last night. Wasn't expecting it, but it was a great gig. They looked happy to be playing, and the crowd was jumping.
