Half a block of Bath blue cheese and a shit load (culinary term) of pasta and dinner just got really good.

I’ve watched more sporting montages in the last 24hrs than is good for my emotional health

And how was I so sure where Napa Valley is? (for my daily map quiz)

Seated and ready for MOTD

Watching a documentary on the Salisbury poisoning and a counter terrorism officer has said that at a cabinet briefing, one minister referred to the UK victim as “thank god she was a drug addict” I suspect it wouldn’t be hard for any of us to think who that could be

There are so many reasons I love living in the North

Forget all the trophies / charges, my favourite Pep memory is how he pronounces “goosebumps”

Maguire’s family have absolutely got non refundable flights and accommodation booked

Trans people have been around your whole life. You’ve been sharing bathrooms with them your whole life. They’ve been in your communities your whole life. They’ve even been playing sport your whole life. And you didn’t care *at all* till a few years ago when every right wing org decided you should

Since I doubt anyone else will post it here, I regret to inform Bluesky that Gavin Williamson's pet tarantula has died, and he has made a photo montage to Angels commemorating him.

Amazing how meaningless you can make “dignity and respect” when you try.

Then take him as staff, I don’t understand why he gets a playing spot if the reasoning isn’t his playing form

There was a line delivered in the latest Widows Bay that made me laugh so hard I may make it my bio. “Once again, I’d like to remind everyone that it is not mandatory to speak.”

Watching Masterchef and they’ve just said that making a stuffed crust pizza is very tricky and takes a lot of skill. Big up Jase in our local Dominos then.

i am fucking crying. the way you can hear the kid faintly sobbing lmao

Sorry Spurs, need you to lose tonight for there to be anything of any consequence to decide on Sunday

Ooh, interesting

Did a Tater-tot casserole for dinner tonight like I’m some US mom cooking on TikTok

Maybe not

I wouldn’t get comfortable Spurs fans, we are more than capable of fucking this up for everyone

You’re welcome, Spurs.

Whilst pleased to have him in the PL, shame this is where he ended up

I’m having a no shoes day, not leaving the house at all and the sofa for as little time as possible. Full day of football and napping ahead.

No issue in parents supporting their kids where they can but let’s not frame paying a fully grown adults rent in London as “completely independent life”

points deduction for the pitch invasion #thefootball

Massive VAR call for Celtic

Watching Celtic v Hearts just for potential shenanigans and SCENES if I’m honest

The best thing about having a birthday on a Friday is you can drag it out all weekend

I’ve not watched Strictly for a few years now but Josh Widdicpmbe feels like a choice for a host

I will never understand this drive to edit posts, either live with the typo or delete and repost. Problem solved

It’s my birthday and is only correct I’ve taken the day off work and had a Greggs breakfast

When they did this in Newcastle it inadvertently made me a criminal. I picked up an envelope from WH Smiths, walked to post office bit, filled it, addressed and posted it without ever remembering I had to pay for the envelope

Kind of want to see what happens if Burnham doesn’t win the seat

We had a thunderstorm with massive hailstones about half an hour after Streeting resigned. Take from that what you want but I’m going with God hate’s him too

It’s my birthday later this week, but the early presents have set a very standard

Erm…this feels unacceptable on an office day

A fellow Labour Party member once described Wes Streeting to me as Zippy from Rainbow if he'd been radicalized by Mumsnet. which is a very specific set of references but also disturbingly accurate.

Bloody hell, what a call

Fucking hell

If you read them from the beginning they're the words of a dog who desperately wants you to come over because they've seen a frisbee

I’d have sent Silva off

It has taken more than 20 years but I’m FINALLY vindicated in my opinion of him. I knew he was a wrong’un

@hayls.bsky.social have you seen the Grey’s season finale? End of an era!

The final result is absolutely extraordinary From controlling the council, Labour have crashed to just 2 seats, behind a mad family group of indys who ran in only 1 ward And it's Labour's challenge in microcosm, losing votes and seats to Reform and Green in equal measure. How do you win back both?

My favourite local election titbit so far is that Walker returned 2 Reform Cllr’s and 1 Green. Look forward to their first ward committee meeting

Tiny wins, Reform well in to last place in my council ward

Not reading anything in to this but Newcastle’s election count is in the very early stages and the clouds have just gathered and sky is ominously grey

I’d feel better if people made clear it was Newcastle UNDER LYME that went to Reform

I think it might be the latter
