Stunning finish, Palhinha #COYS

Surely even the most ardent believers in the “Dr Tottenham” principle didn’t see this continuing tonight? #COYS

Sleeper at Tramshed in Cardiff on the Inbetweener tour celebrating 30 years. They were brilliant. Louise has always been a magnificent front woman and she was so engaging last night whilst she and the band, who sounded superb, put on an such an entertaining show #Sleeper #Cardiff #Inbetweener

Looking at the state of the UK this century through the lens of football. Especially reading again about the Covid lockdowns I’m sure I’ve got PTSD. I’m not talking vet-returns-from-Nam type PTSD but that time definitely left its mark. Anyway, great book #Booksky #EPL #Football #PremierLeague

Where was the West Ham marking at that corner? Who cares? #COYS

Listen, fair play … #Radiohead

I loved how @ronanmcgreevy.bsky.social starts his book with the assassination itself and then goes back to set the context and work his way through to 22nd June 1922. Before tackling the fallout and various theories on the decision to ultimately kill Henry Wilson. It’s a great book #Booksky

What a film that is, by the way. Three hours well spent #TheBrutalist

The Red Brigades in the ‘70’s & ‘80’s brutally terrorised Italian industry and the state, the oppressors of the workers they claimed to represent. They were, at times, slapdash, hypocritical and ruthless for ruthlessness sake. @footymac.bsky.social forensic study captures this time superbly #Booksky

A few highlights from today’s visit to This Is What You Get at the @ashmoleanmuseum.bsky.social in Oxford. An exhibition of the collaborations of @stanleydonwood.bsky.social and @thomyorke.wastehq.social over the last 30 years on the artwork for Radiohead & The Smile. So great! #Radiohead

An account of the work done by Varian Fry and his brave colleagues working the south of France to evacuate exiled cultural Germans, often Jewish, who were wanted by the Gestapo following the Nazi’s lightening invasion of France. It’s non-fiction that reads like a thriller novel. Frightening #Booksky

First World War spy novel based around a true case of the time for the nascent MI6. I devoured it #Booksky

Once the gap opened stand rail side, Buick delivered. Ethical Diamond ran out a very good winner. Blindingly obvious statement- Willie Mullins is the master! Melbourne next I’d imagine #EborFestival #York #Horseracing

Ethical Diamond backed into favourite now at the off #EborFestival #York #Horseracing

Saturday this season is bringing the joy for Spurs fans. If we could just forget what happens on the days in between … #COYS

Will it be the same pain today as a year ago? Personally I prefer the stablemate Ethical Diamond but the massive caveat is will he settle? He looked so good at Royal Ascot over 1m 4f but an extra couple of furlongs will find him out if he pulls too hard early again #EborFestival #York #Horseracing

A balanced biography of the imperial hero #Booksky

Is there another club with a roll call of high profile failed attempted signings longer than Spurs’s under Levy? #COYS

So good! The first 4 eps: Oasis / Trainspotting / Nirvana / George Michael captured the nostalgia but also the excitement of the monumental decade. Looking forward to arriving at my 90’s - rave, clubbing, superstar DJ’s and British electronic music: Underworld, Leftfield, Chems Prodigy exploding

Always love the Ebor meeting at York and day 1 today with the Great Voltigeur and the Juddmonte International doesn’t disappoint. In the former I’m still not convinced by Lambourn and the Japanese runner in the latter gives what is often the season’s best race a further dimension #Horseracing #York

Walking the dog around Dyffryn Gardens #DyffrynGardens #ValeOfGlamorgan #NationalTrust

A daft romp but thoroughly entertaining. Great cast #WilliamTell

Watched September 5 and thought it was a clever angle with which to retell the story of the Munich massacre. Only 90 minutes long too! #September5 #Munich #1972Olympics #BlackSeptember #Israel

A fun afternoon with my crew, minus the dog, at Tredegar House yesterday #TredegarHouse #NationalTrust #Newport

Just seen Richarlison’s volley for Spurs’s second this afternoon. How sweet a strike was that!? I’d have had no problem had he been sold this window but IF he stays fit this season, a confident Richarlison could be so valuable to this squad #COYS

www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio... I firmly believe Strictly the show is always bigger than its celebrity cast list. So it’s not that important that it’s chock full of big name a-listers. But bloody hell, this season is going to test my beliefs #Strictly #SCD #StrictlyComeDancing

A rollicking conclusion to the Essex Dogs’s escapades. Or will it be? Dan Jones’s final instalment of his 100 Years War trilogy has left a lot of directions the story can continue in should he want to return to it #Booksky #LionHearts #EssexDogs

Another reread from ten years ago. Skullduggery on the turf in Victorian England. What’s not to love? #Booksky #Horseracing #LordGeorgeBentinck

Argh! Forgot to get myself a couple of tins of pork scratchings in work today where the price had been slashed as out of date tomorrow. They’ll get thrown out now #PorkScratchings #Woes

@petshopboys.music-social.com at Cardiff Castle 31/7/2025 #PetShopBoys #Cardiff #CardiffCastle #DreamWorld

@petshopboys.music-social.com at Cardiff Castle last night. They’ve been to Cardiff twice on the Dreamworld Tour and luckily I’ve seen them both times. Perhaps it was the location and a warm summer’s evening but that was an all-timer of a gig. Loved it! #PetShopBoys #DreamWorld #Cardiff

OMG! What just happened in the Sussex Stakes!? Qirat at 150/1. There can’t have been a longer priced winner of a Group 1, surely? Field Of Gold never fired for whatever reason #Juddmonte #GloriousGoodwood #SussexStakes #VisitQatar #Horseracing #Qirat #FieldOfGold

Sasha & Digweed at the waterfront in Bristol yesterday evening. An epic fully charged 3 hour set. Magic! #SashaandDigweed #Sasha #Digweed #Bristol #Housemusic #ProgressiveHouse

Jan Brueghel, the last Group 1 son of Galileo still racing, running in the King George & Queen Elizabeth Stakes 24 years after Galileo won this race. End of an era #Ascot #KingGeorge #Horseracing

I’ll watch anything with Keeley Hawes in it #TheAssassin

I’ve consumed a lot of 7/7 in this 20th anniversary year of the atrocity: 4 part BBC documentary, Netflix documentary and the excellent Disney+ drama “Suspect”. This book by the same people behind the BBC doc was utterly compelling and meticulous. Day by day, hour by hour minute by minute #Booksky

Really enjoyed this by @nellstevens.bsky.social. A novel on copying: in art, in love, in life. Set at the turn of the 20th century, who or what is real? What is, who are, authentic? #Booksky #TheOriginal

A 5k run barely going a kilometre away from the house as the crow flies. So if ever it’s a “fuck this” in the heat it’s a minimal walk home. Top training tip! #Running #Run #Runner

As a dad of 2 boys diagnosed with autism, Wallace’s statement where he has doubled down citing his being autistic as an excuse for his behaviour disgusts me. Not only offensive but could contribute to the stigma those diagnosed ASD navigating the world face daily www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Read this in a day. The wonderful story by Barney Campbell of the bond of friendship in the most traumatic and horrific carnage of the Dardanelles campaign in 1915-16. I loved this novel #Booksky #TheFiresofGallipoli

This has kept me engrossed for over three weeks. Superb #Booksky #MI5

For me, the most fascinating aspect of this afternoon’s Irish Derby at the Curragh is, on a track that requires few excuses, can Pride Of Arras do something for the Dante form? If he bombs a bad looking York trial in hindsight will now be desperate #IrishDerby #Horseracing

I doubt there’s anyone having a greater time in the UK right now than those at the Other Stage seeing Ezra Collective - apart from Ezra Collective themselves. Joyous #Glastonbury

open.spotify.com/track/4kd3HI... This is sublime. Totally in love with it following Four Tet’s set last night at Glastonbury. Into Dust by Mazzy Star has always been a beautiful song #Glastonbury

Have seen very little of Glastonbury today but made up for that with Four Tet’s set from the Woodsies just now. Loved it and new track Into Dust (Still Falling) was lush #Glastonbury

Season 3 was really underwhelming, it felt like it never went anywhere. Perhaps owing to them filming seasons 3 and 4 back-to-back, when 3 ended it left the impression of being half done. Season 4 has arrived and I’m going in trusting there’ll be a return to form #TheBear #Disney+

Wicklow Brave was always the horse I wished I owned. A dual purpose that could take you everywhere - Cheltenham, Chester, York, Ascot, Flemington etc. Since his retirement these HOS Syndicate horses have taken his place: Absurde, Ethical Diamond - every festival #Horseracing

Great ride from Ryan Moore then on Ethical Diamond because he was not making it easy for him early out the gates. Pulling like stink. Not a festival without a Willie Mullins winner #DukeofEdinburghStakes #RoyalAscot #Horseracing

My one bet of the day next in the Hampton Court Stakes. Detain has had to cracking runs in France this season at Group 1 level in their Guineas and Derby. The Gosden’s couldn’t be in better for this week #RoyalAscot #HamptonCourtStakes #Detain #Horseracing

Ombudsman got William Buick out of jail there to continue the Gosden’s dream Royal meeting. Having said that once Ombudsman got out he flew! #RoyalAscot #PrinceOfWalesStakes #Horseracing
