I think politicians should start wearing sponsor jackets like F1 drivers, so we can see who owns them.

Just reading the @michaelhann.bsky.social liner notes for the ‘26 remaster of UFO’s “the wild, the willing and the innocent”… long been my 2nd or 3rd fav UFO studio album… Pity not more of the “chapman” era songs made the live selection on disk 2… but no complaints…

Big shout out to all the volunteers helping in some way with today’s elections… You do more for us than most of those elected ever will… #justsaying #elections

When you vote today, please try not to vote for racists, performative nonsense, undeliverable “promises”, racists, haters, racists, wolves in sheep clothing, and, err, racists…

What will never happen is Starmer tackling or even calling out the revolting antisemitism of the right wing press - because he thinks of it as his real electorate.

Was referring to this… www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Dear Reform… of course, planning consent for these “centres” you propose will bedetermined by the Local Authority… so, err, will they consent to your political siting proposals… or will the reform councils be the only ones to let you..? Performative nonsense… factcheck the ability to deliver

We’re back - Friday 15th May on BBCThree and all eps will be available on BBCiPlayer #SmoggieQueens

Eeeh, I remember that day like it was yesterday… everybody in the paddock was delighted for Alex… I was trackside with my cameras…

Saddened to hear of Alex’s passing… a special person and a genuine inspiration…

If Reform are a company, not a political Party, should its elected representatives more correctly stand as independents..? And, as such, would that impact upon their majorities/leadership of councils etc… I mean, technically, if independents were in majority, leader need not be “reform”..?

The last 16 years or so have ground down any hope that I had for a fair, equitable, empathetic society… the forces aligned against this are remorseless and overwhelming… Reform and their ilk will prevail because ‘money’ will prevail… and ‘money’ does not want the sort of society that I would like…

When you tweet and don't research first.

Ah, well, you see, in the old days (thank you, Grandad) we (the people of the UK) owned (and thereby would benefit from) something like 51% of this….. By this, I mean BP… www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

250 miles to London from here… Not far, no… But, mostly, though, it feels like 250 light years, to be honest, James…

An iPhoney..!

Nice to get a mention in the programme for this weekend’s meeting at Laguna Seca … My first trip there for the ALMS was in 2000. BMW V12 LMR the highlight for me. Went to this meeting then for something like 23 years. #imsa #alms #lagunaseca Page 39.. issuu.com/motorsportma...

Latest release on DaveCo records… M & O’H sing the terrace classics… You’re going to get your f*cking heads kicked in… You’re not fit to wipe my ar*e… you are shit and you know you are… Charlie George, superstar, wears frilly knickers and a playtex bra… You can stick your VAR up your arse… #utb

I’d almost forgotten that football can, occassionally, make you feel as good as this… memorably for me, once, on the terraces away at Wolves for the #boro promotion to the (then) 1st Division under Lennie Lawrence… Some other days too #utb .. Cardiff cup final, Steaua etc…

When people talk about defunding the BBC this is the sort of thing that will get the axe first.

No shit, Sherlock, as the saying goes… Many of us hoped for a move away from “establishment” rule… Sadly, we seem to be firmly entrenched in it regardless of who is in charge… * le sigh *

Wasn’t Frank from Timperley..?

I don’t think I will ever agree with the reasoning/rationale for this… www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-engl...

Is this what, in modern times, is referred to as “dogging”..??

Just looked up tix £ for Sammy Hagar at Leeds… £80 - £200 each… is this like what concerts cost these days because that’s just ridiculous… plus travel, plus parking etc… In ‘82, you’d have paid about a fiver… (£20 today)…

One of Andy Kershaw’s first segments for The Old Grey Whistle Test (if not his first) was this great report from the 1984 Monsters of Rock… I guess surviving Motley Crue and David Lee Roth were a baptism of sorts… Our VH banner can be seen clearly… #andykershaw #rip #ogwt youtu.be/Fay-VqLzuPc

Gee, thanks… www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I would have once agreed with this, but… sausage egg mcmuffin… Mic drop…

I am still sitting on that boffo plan to beat Reform… Just waiting for the phone call from anybody up for it… Maybe @zackpolanski.bsky.social , seeing as I resigned from L…

Teabagging was simpler in my day…

“And two days later they lost 3-0 to Middlesbrough. United were hit harder than anyone”… 🤭🤣🤣🤣… #utb #boro

There are so many perfect details in this picture… Parr was brilliant at little details, just as good with composition… If I ever snapped something do perfect you’d be hearing about it forever 🥳

Tell a potential employer that you have five years experience in your chosen field and they'll be impressed. Tell them you have 30 and all they'll hear is "old".

Well… Boro… Oh…. #boro #utb

Apparently my namesake storm is set to impact your Easter..!!!! Anybody need a “Dave blew me” t-shirt please reach out.. #stormdave

“AI” is basically human kind doing away with the need for, err, humankind… (NM156 - Queensryche) Machines have no conscience… Now, social control requires… population… termination… Have we come too far to turn around, does emotion hold the key…

That little child having a mega tantrum strop because they have to tidy their room but thinking that if they kick up a big enough fuss then Mum will do it for them…

Labour. One job. Get us back in the EU ASAFP…

Seems to me, @tomgaymor.bsky.social , that the quicker cars are quicker on both reds and blacks… Rahal matching Palou on this stint… #skyindycar #indycar

Satan is now in me… 😈

Do lawyers accept payment in crypto..?? 🤔

My morning brew has layered itself..!!! 😳…. Satan at work… 🤣💙

Sometimes, you got to know when to just STFU… Right..??

Fingers crossed the Dodgers can go on to claim three successive WS’s… It’s time for Dodger baseball… #openingday #mlb

I find it is very hard to tune out what I do not want to see… and they present me things that I do not want to see… I don’t want “see too much if this” options to tune out, I want to see only what I ask to see… if that means they don’t harvest my data, tough shit… www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Of course they have… did anybody seriously think this was a serious pledge in the first place..? www.ft.com/content/be4b...

May I suggest to the FIA that the cancelled F1 races could be run though our village… the usual traffic speed here has demonstrated that F1 cars will be “at home”… Ready for Indycar, also… @tomgaymor.bsky.social

What says the Gov @andymcdonaldmp.bsky.social ..?
