Oh wow Remco. What have you done?

OF COURSE Radiohead have made buying tickets complicated

Alec Stewart was born on 8 April 1963 and scored 8463 test runs.

It’s that time of year again when I must point out that kids love the Hundred and that cricket has no future without kids. Test match tickets cost upwards of £150. We’re taking the family for less than £100 today to see international stars. T20 blast is a beer fest so we don’t go.

It’s FAR too early to be football season eve.

Standing outside the doors waiting for Brent Cross to open is the closest I ever get to questioning my life choices

Getting sent off for pulling hair? Feel like I’ve seen that somewhere before….

Sold Frank Skinner a second hand kids cricket helmet

After a very tense day trying to work and listen to TMS I’m off to watch kids’ cricket, which plays with my nerves at the best of times

Well the cricket is going rather well

That is outrageous

🙌

No YOU got off the tube at Euston and only realised at top of the escalators that today’s train is from Kings Cross 😬 Now a sweaty mess after sprinting along Euston Rd

Government publishes the implementation timetable for the #EmploymentRightsAct - as expected it starts this year (less contentious stuff) and is phased in until Autumn 2027 #HR #UKEmplaw assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/686258...

My Not at Glastonbury for last 4 years is to take advantage of kid’s inset day to go camping. We get nice showers and toilets and occasionally listen to some on the radio. Hard recommend.

Oh dear

This is inspiring stuff

The boy is researching Dickens for a school project so we are just watching this on loop. It’s a high bar but possibly their finest moment youtube.com/watch?v=TBK-...

Combo of getting behind when away over BH weekend and hosting family visiting Wembley last weekend meant that I didn’t watch the Stage 20 Giro highlights till last night. Yates’ outpouring of emotion had me sobbing again. Redemption must feel good. What a fantastic weekend for Lancashire.

That is one impressive line up of temporary judges of the EAT

Wordle doing abbreviations now I see

Only just watched this back after a busy couple of days. Feeling emotional all over again youtube.com/watch?v=8deY...

I don’t really know how to feel #oafc

WHAT. A. DAY. 💙🧡

(Over) 30 years of hurt never stopped me dreaming

Found this absolute beaut digging through some old stuff

No YOU are sobbing like an idiot. Thanks as ever Arlene for putting into words what we are all feeling.

We need to talk about the Wembley bag policy #oafc It’s strict. Very strict. Nothing bigger than a4 will be allowed in. That’s smaller than most women’s handbags. Anything else you will need to leave on your coach or you will lose it.

Not quite putting the champagne on ice but I am putting the Portuguese sparkling wine in the fridge #oafc

Stood in the rain having wholesome family “fun”. It must be Bank Holiday.

Might change things up by asking this in French now, seeing as I must say it 40 times a day

34 years since we actuallly won anything. 31 years since the goal of which we do not speak broke our hearts at Wembley. A few FA cup giantkillings aside, nothing of note to shout about since then. And a lot of pain. Please make my 3rd trip to Wembley a lucky one #oafc

Been on a Superloop twice this season - to go to Barnet and Wealdstone, both of which are pain in the arse grounds to get to. So is Wembley. But not complaining.

OH. MY. GOD. #oafc

why am I still tense? #oafc

Wicket maiden for the boy and it seems to be going rather well at Boundary Park (famous last words)

Going to be spending this evening, as I do most evenings at the moment, at a kids cricket match. Thankfully I don’t have scoring duties tonight, so shall mostly be reading the @oldhamtimes.bsky.social Latics live feed.

34 years #oafc

At game tonight soundtracked by lions roaring with views of an iconic 60s tower and one of Britain’s most magnificent religious buildings. I may have a lot of whites to wash but being a cricket mum is great. PS points to any non Londoners who can figure out where I was.

Purple connections today 😬

Huw Stephens on 6 music playing Matchstalk Men and Matchstalk Cats and Dogs. Flooding memories of my Grandad singing it in his own flat cap 😭

There are many opinions as to what marks the start of spring but for me it’s watching men on bikes ride the beautiful white roads of Tuscany

No YOU are spending your lunch break repeatedly watching Peter Sagan’s jive on Slovakian Strictly
