Hockey season finished. Finished 9th and only lost once since Christmas. Now time to give my aching legs a break for a few months!

A partial eclipse apparently!

Woke up in the middle of the night to find that the ceiling had collapsed down and water was everywhere! Plumber left at 5.00 am and have been trying to clear up since then. How’s your Saturday going?

Gosh. So there was no impact and all those horror stories turned out not to be true. I’m shocked and stunned!

Right, need to stop reading the news and cheer up. Hockey today against our local rivals who stitched us up with some real home team umpiring earlier this season. Could get spicy!!

As ever, he’s being brilliant

Funny how ‘America First’ became ‘well, Greenland, Canada, the Panama Canal and Gaza but then we’ll certainly think about American issues’

Ollie Watkins has just taken the worst penalty in football history. It’s ought to be physically impossible for that to happen

First day back at the office since November 26th! Loved being back with the wonderful Bluestripe team and squeeze in a lunch at The Union Club. All is well with the world!

I see Arsenal fans are going all tin foil hat again

I see over on the hellsite weather warnings are now woke. Obviously

My hot take is that if you don’t want to be called a Nazi, perhaps don’t do Nazi salutes at globally broadcast events. I am available for further indepth comments

Bear in mind that Trump will start his presidency with almost half a billion of dollars debt, mainly due to legal fines. Every bit of foreign policy will skew to making him money.

Just took off half my knuckle with a cheese grater. How’s your day going?

Cucurella is the really king of bellends in the Premier League #CheBou

Excellent piece that due to my own issues is very important to me

These were great last year and I’m really pleased we’re doing them again

Grump inbound! Being late is not a cute character trait, it’s actually really annoying

@premsportstv.bsky.social The quality of pictures for the Toulon V Quins game is terrible. Making the game unwatchable

Attempting first bit of activity since last weeks operation. Might manage a whole kilometre!

This is a really good editorial from Justin.

So what do we see now? The more extreme element of Reform splinter off somewhere else? A resurgence of UKIP? Either way a good day!

At 4.30 I was a grumpy individual. Bournemouth struggling to put chances away in the EPL and Leicester Tigers playing like a drain in the rugby. 4.45 and I’m a very happy happy bunny!

The Quality Street are finished. The holidays are now officially over

Right. I suppose I should get up so at least coming back to bed in two hours feels like an achievement

Ventured out of my cave to watch @nickmohammed.bsky.social in A Christmas Carol (ish) and it was bloody brilliant

I see that over on the hell site, weather forecasts are now ‘woke’

Another draw for Bournemouth and another late goal. We’re very hard to beat but need to be better at actually winning

I see nobody watched the BBC last night then…

Happy Christmas everyone! Got both of of wonderful kids here, my amazing wife and a well stocked wine cellar

Bournemouth win again and still the narrative is about how bad are the team they beat!

After 17 Premier League games, Bournemouth have more points (28) than: • Man City - 27 • Newcastle - 26 • Tottenham - 23 • Man Utd - 22 Andoni Iraola is doing an incredible job.

It’s fine, we’ve met

As long as ( and thats far from a given) Evri and Royal Mail do their thing, Christmas food is now sorted. This is the earliest this has ever happened Now we play, ‘no you cannot eat, that’s for Christmas’ for seven days

Bournemouth into 6th in the Premier League. Need to pinch myself sometimes!

Finally got out and had lunch with my @bluestripegroup.bsky.social friends.

If games really influenced young people, munching pills in a dark room to repetitive electronic music would be a real thing.

Back at the hospital this morning so they can stick a tube down my throat and into my lung.The tube is described as being the thickness of a pencil which seems unnecessarily specific. Not overly looking forward to this!

My old pal, the wonderful @jonmundy.bsky.social with an excellent piece

Why is Labour so afraid of talking about Brexit? Why not embrace the fact that the majority want closer ties with Europe? The media will hammer them regardless of what they do

@gurdeepsagoo.bsky.social hey G, good to see you over here my friend!

@andyoakes.bsky.social wishes you all a very Merry Christmas
