Thank fuck #spaarg

Wayne Rooney speaks for everyone.

What's wrong with bringing a couple of pissed fans onto the pitch, making them run around a broom 20 times and then try and score, and then have the half time draw.

Fair play to the half time show people. They've made me want more of that dire football we had in the first half after all #spaarg #fifarse

REMCO!!!! and ta ra for now Jonas, sad news

My official take on #ENGFRA

Morning drive past at #Saltburn on my way to a site visit up the road

The rather wonderful sheep and grouse stone stille. Carved by Keith Alexander in 1999. Above Holwick Scar, #Teesdale #NorthPennines @lakesstiles.bsky.social

Anyway.... How good was that Craig Overton knock earlier?...

Build a statue. Build 6

I hope the rest of the EU is ready to ship Belgium's export to the US via third countries in advance of the 500% tariff about to be imposed

FUCK ME. well done England. That was immense

This is far too stressful for this time of night

Today’s envelope art was a good one, have to say. Please buy my things. And I shall do something for you too… cards n nonsense Dippyfishcards.etsy.com Fine Art Artofnote.sumupstore.com Misc nonsense what I done ko-fi.com/dippyfish/shop #bsnm #mhhsbd #artforsale

Does it count as a stile? Well it's right by the church, and it's outside a house called "Kirkstile" so I think that's a yes. #Romaldkirk #Teesdale @lakesstiles.bsky.social

This!

Another great read from @jackthurston.bsky.social. My adventure a few years ago was a bit different but can confirm the road between Hope and Altnaharra is one of the best bits of cycling ever. I saw one other car the whole way. If its of interest: www.richmay.co.uk/allpointsnor...

Thank Jude for that

Today was wash day

Took a 75 mile ride out to #Hartlepool yesterday. I'd only ever been once before to the football ground 30 odd years ago. Theres some good stuff there, but it's hidden and poorly signed which is a definite shame

At the #Tees Transporter #Bridge (north bank) just over half way though today's 75 mile ride to the coast and back. #Teesside #TransporterBridge #Middlesborough #TooBloodyHot #SweatyMess #DidIReallyWantToUseThatLastHashTag?

Evening, from me and the coos

I think I'm "pleased" to have it confirmed that my failure to ever get anywhere on DTOC was entirely down to ineptitude and not poor training/choice of trainers. (I was pretty ok at DTD and i'd even say good at DTST(128) but rubbish at DTOC) Thanks for the confirmation @harbonaut.co.uk 😀

The countdown to this talk is now on: I heard Tom's first thoughts on this topic when he spoke in Carlisle the other year, so this promises to be *excellent*...

@impq.bsky.social - proof the fear of the dark is one of the best Maiden tracks. www.youtube.com/shorts/oKDZG...

A stupidly hot but fun day at Twickenham for the #premrugby final. Good to get back to the dale for the last of the daylight though

Fancy a bit of Thursday fun? If we can get to 2,000 pre-saves of the next single, I'll share a picture of just how fabulous the new Leopard Print Etched Vinyl looks Deal? We're currently at 1,745. Hit the presave link here and all shall be revealed… found.ee/ThrowOverYou...

Ed Payne, race leader of the summer @spinerace.bsky.social looking in excellent shape just over half way through

Concrete stile across the old railway line. It's big, but no match for a Springador @lakesstiles.bsky.social

It won't hurt todays kids if they have to spend an hour or so sitting in the car outside social media platforms with a can of pop and a packet of ready salted crisps

We don't usually see each others headers. Here's mine. Quote post with yours.

My friends were pulled over by the police and told they were vulnerable as cyclists – but it's drivers that need to be reminded www.cyclingweekly.com/news/my-frie...

Buy Amelia's cards. They are ace (as is she)

@impq.bsky.social I know I didn't do my homework (again) this week but please don't make me do this. It would only be the second play it would ever have but that's still too many (I only bought it because I had every other genesis album on vinyl)

The SS Great Britain, #Bristol and the colourful houses of Cliftonwood

Up on the moors above Haworth (but not the wuthering ones, they are up in the far distance

Here’s a poem called ‘Life of a Naturalist’.

A guess a lot people will be spending a lot of today checking some slowly changing numbers on a BBC webpage. If you enjoy that sort of thing and want it to be a more than annual occurrence - can I recommend getting into county cricket?

Have written up another of my #LakeDistrict walks. In 2024 Henry and I did the big one up to #ScafellPike. #Wainrwight www.richmay.co.uk/scafellpike/

#BankHoliday traffic nightmare yesterday on the #NorthPennines

A stile to get you onto a narrow rickety bridge so you can get a look at a viaduct. What's more to ask for? Well how about the River Tyne? You got it. #LambleyViaduct @lakesstiles.bsky.social

Carlisle Stile(s). A nice metal stile with an M6 backdrop, a recreational stile, and a rare double yolker stile. @lakesstiles.bsky.social

2 1/2 hours to kick off now and getting proper nervous. Come on City youtu.be/VmFhD76ZDv0?...

Happy 90th birthday to the #TrigPoint

Slow motion Springador in the Heather action. On Romaldkirk Moor, #NorthPennines
