@mrjamesob.bsky.social Hello James. My father died on Saturday. Today I tuned in for Mystery Hour as I do every week. It was the first regular 'normal' routine thing that I've done since he passed. And you made me smile too. Thank you. Never underestimate the value of what you do.

Goodnight Dad 💔

A bunch of foreigners (mostly Japanese + Mongolian, Russian, Ukrainian and Kazakh) came to London, were welcomed with open arms, completely embraced our culture, spread positivity and brightened our day to day lives with a bit of their culture. This is what the UK should be all about. #sumolondon

We're here for the final day of #sumolondon at the Royal Albert Hall.

I'm on the train....off to the final day of the London sumo tournament. Ridiculously excited. We have driven out the evil spirits and my chronic headaches are at a low enough level for me to travel today. Huzzah. #sumo #sumolondon

I reckon he's discovered that this is his new lucky salt throw. #sumo #sumolondon

There's definitely a lot more picking up and lifting of opponents in this London sumo tournament than you ever usually see in the full-on Japanese bashos.

Ura basically just did a Samoan drop, right? I've never seen that used in sumo before. This is one of the reasons why Ura is great.

So England have become the first European team to qualify for the 2026 World Cup, and if that isn't a sign of great German efficiency from Thomas Tuchel, then I don't know what is.

The rikishi are taking-in the town and doing what we all do when in London. Seeing the sights, admiring the parks, shopping on High Street, taking tea at Fortnum's, using the olde phonebox, eating Chinese, and having a terrific time.

In a VERY rare move, Dora was actually washing her mother's head. It's ok, 5 minutes later, Mama was hissing at her and Dora then stole her spot on the sofa. #Caturday #catsofbluesky #catsky #cats

How it started.....how it's going #FreePalestine #StoptheGenocide

Delia Smith Jeremy Goss Liam Manning Ed Balls Grant Holt Stephen Fry Bryan Gunn Alan Partridge.... Your boys took one hell of a beating! #itfc #IPSNOR

Cleo helped me do an online shop yesterday, arriving today, which I believe is #Catutday.

Fuck me, this is like appointing Gary Glitter to oversee a primary school. Keep this war criminal out of Middle Eastern affairs and send him to The Hague instead.

Fuck me, today was not the day to have "Visit Qatar" plastered across the advertising boards 😬 #SRBENG

On the same day in the Telegraph:

If these "patriots" love their country SOOO much, why weren't any of them tying English flags to lamp posts on St George's Day last April? 🤔

Thought 1-1 was a fair result. We lacked fluent passing, kept losing possession and didn't have that final touch in the opposition area. Two games, two 1-1 draws and we haven't yet scored a goal in open play. Things can only get better. #itfc #IPSSOU #EFLChampionship

This clown of a referee might as well be wearing a Southampton shirt #itfc #IPSSOU

@mrjamesob.bsky.social O is simply an abbreviation of zero, being the second syllable of the word. That's why we say O instead of zero. #mysteryhour

Birmingham were v good. Gave us no time or space on the ball, much like PL teams last season. They played with the confidence of a team who strolled League One unbeaten at home last year and we played with the confidence of a team who got beaten up most weeks last year. Lucky to get a draw. #itfc

82% of the time now. #Lionesses #WEURO2025 #ENGESP

This century, there have been 21 major international tournaments (World Cup and Euros) across men's and women's football where the two semi finals have been played a day apart. The team that won the first semi won the tournament on 17 occasions. That's 81% of the time. (1/2) #Lionesses #WEURO2025

I reckon you could make a small fortune by selling these to British wrestlers.

Only in the UK could a hosepipe ban and a flood warning be issued IN THE SAME WEEK. Our water system is totally broken. Cheers Thatcher 👍

They are NOT impressed by this weather and have requested that I change it. #Caturday

BONUS SHOW!! 1hr+ of chat with former FWA MC and TV host turned successful YouTuber and podcast host, “HARDCORE” JOHN ATKINS! Hear about his time in the FWA, other wrestling-related adventures, life after wrestling, ukuleles, and so much more. Links in the first reply. Spread the word.

Good to see that even in his retirement match, Goldberg still doesn't know how to work safely.

Translation: Government funded by pro-Israel lobby questions why nobody at BBC has been sacked for publicising viewpoints speaking out against genocide. 🇵🇸

A rare moment of togetherness on this #Caturday.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Flying ant day happened this Tuesday, James. For us at least here on the south coast.

Long bus journey ahead....this can only mean it's time to listen to the latest @fwapod.bsky.social.

Graps & Claps presents Working A Reslo Episode 6 as Andy & from @fwapod.bsky.social Kieran visit 1991 Llantrisant for Pat Roach vs Giant Haystacks & The Reslo Rumble!! LIKE & RETWEET #wrestlesky 🤼‍♂️ Link below 👇👇

It's 27°C out here in the garden, so Dora is wisely lying on the cool paving stones in the shade #Caturday

Watching #TOTP from 1984 on BBC Four has reminded me how I once sold a pair of shoes to Nick Heyward of Haircut 100. I had no idea it was him until someone else said "Do you know who that was?" after he'd left. Checked the credit card slip (this was the 90s) and sure enough, it said Mr N Heyward.

Spurs in the 2025-26 Champions League.

So remember everyone, it's fine to sexually assault children on the premises, but you mustn't speak out against Israel's genocide in Gaza. At least we know where the BBC draws its lines. Thank you for continuing to speak out, Gary Lineker.

Fuck the Super Bowl. You can keep your half time show and Kendrick Lamar. Give me Abide with Me and a marching band at half time every time. <chef's kiss> #FACupFinal

Just passed a van for a plumber called GM Monk. Disappointed he doesn't brand himself Best in the World.

We both enjoyed scrambled eggs this morning #Caturday

Just saw Norman Cook in our local garden centre. This is about as exciting as my life gets these days.

Genuinely glad to see the back of the Premier League. What a horrible, corrupt and morally bankrupt League it is. We were never welcome in it and they never wanted us there. Bring on proper football again next season #itfc

Last 3 seasons in EFL: 1 red card every 46 games. This season in the Premier League: 1 red card every 7.6 games. Make it make sense. #itfc

And we've had a player sent off again. Absolute joke. 3 red cards in the last 3 seasons in the EFL. 5 red cards this season. The refs have been given their instructions to protect the big boys at all costs. #itfc
