Amazing film.

"You're making me very nervous, Richard." 'Dead Man's Shoes' is just starting on Film4, and I cannot recommend it enough.

For those who caught my Family Stories talk at We Have Ways Fest ‘25, the action described by my grandad, Bill before his wounding and capture started 81 years ago tonight. The picture shows the 2/5 Leics objective after their river crossing. #WHWF25

When I binned off Twitter in 2023 I lost quite a large platform of genuine followers. I’m not one for a social media grift, but if you’re on Instagram (yes I know, another poisonous place for different reasons!) please do look me up. A girls gotta promote her book to pay her bills 🙃

I'm starting to think the Daleks had a point.

Hello there! As an elite runner, I have decided to take part in Cancer Research UK’s ‘10 5k’s in October’ challenge. Please give, if you can, to this worthwhile cause; and laugh along as I destroy what’s left of my knees before Halloween. fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/robs-gi...

On the same day in the Telegraph:

You *need* to stay to the end

I can

You wouldn’t think it were possible to distill the battle of Stamford Bridge down to less than five minutes, and STILL get it wrong. But, here we are. #kingandconqueror

If this doesn’t bring you to a proud, twitching stand as a British subject; then, sir, you are dead inside.

What a difference a year makes. Parkrun #58 today and equalled my PB, against the event twelve months ago where I was nearly 10 minutes slower.

Somebody on LinkedIn said what we're all thinking.

Christ this is tense. #ENGvIND

From being barely able to run for a wheezy minute back in May, it’s been quite the ride. But this is the milestone I wanted, running 5km. Now the real work begins…

You know you’re teaching your apprentice correctly when they randomly bring in donuts for everyone.

Dante's Inferno doesn't seem that bad

Just verified my age by confirming where they drink Um Bongo and who can’t drink Ki Ora.

Fair play to Rishabh Pant for playing on with a broken foot at Old Trafford, I’d love a go on whatever painkillers they’ve got him taking.

56 Years Ago Today:

Contact lenses. They’re fucking weird when you first try them, eh?

Nice to see he’s still finding work after Keyser Soze retired.

People think money has ruined football but the sight of a rapist dictator standing next to a corrupt football official in front of a big gold trophy at a competition bankrolled by Saudi Arabia reminds me the game still belongs to us.

Ooft, episodes 9 & 10 of The Bear.

"Have Tim Henman killed"

New Congress anthology dropped

Shoutout historically significant bouts of Diarrhea, here’s the latrine at the Chateau de Vincennes, where King Henry V of England died of dysentery (I’m, uhh, guessing he didn’t actually make it to the latrine much though)

The Telegraph today carries a news story about someone paying £7.4 million for a handbag (Hello, Lady Bracknell!). And an opinion piece describing a wealth tax as a ‘moral abomination’. What a time to be alive.

sorry i never replied to your email. i didn’t want to and then i forgot.

#Lifehack Keep your white wine cool this summer with these novelty ice corks.

Ever had one of those days when you wished you were 10ft deep in to a k-hole?

Blimey!!

Oh you wag, life with you must just zoom by.

Like, a system of...camps? A concentration camp system? The Trump admin is deep into its wild camps phase and heading towards its Inspectorate of Camps phase.

“Government wars aren’t my wars; they’ve got nowt to do with me, because my war’s all that I’ll ever be bothered about.” - ‘The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner’, Alan Sillitoe

I trust we’re all following the fact that Romain Ntamack is out on the beers in a wheelchair SEVEN HOURS AFTER HAVING KNEE SURGERY?! Alex Goode levels of commitment, definitely against any kind of medical advice, iconic.

Nice drop of Grainstore Gold at The Beerhouse in Market Harborough to celebrate my fastest ever parkrun. #bskybeers
