At @theshirkersrest.bsky.social and picked my first scorer…

As a side point, what’s the best thing you’ve found in the middle aisle of Lidl or Aldi?

Spotted in Deptford

#R4Today spent this morning warmly eulogising Ann Widdecombe. Almost none of what they said was wrong. Almost none of it was complete. Here's what they left out. 🧵

Sad to inform you the once joyfully poor Craft Union Instagram page is now AI slop. Still not gaining traction just failing in a less remarkable way

Are you an expert on all things Eastbourne? Looking for some advice

£5m is a lot of money to give to a man who would say "up the RA!" for a tenner

Went to the British Library and then the Robin in Stroud Green. A day that was so lovely that nothing could ruin it - although Thameslink gave it a good go by re-routing a train to a different station making a 35-min journey 1hr 30. Let's just blame the heat for that one

It’s fair to say that the students left filled intellectually and corporally. Thank you, David, and I hope to see you next summer, my friend. 4/4

Absolute pleasure. I take joy into being a guide into this wonderful world

Found a 1987 Pakistan cricket England tour brochure that had these adverts

‘I once called a by-election out of social embarrassment’

‘I once called a by-election out of social embarrassment’

So we can add 'money launderer' to the charge sheet that includes 'racist' and 'fraudster' www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Just eat the damn orange

Not now, @thefence.bsky.social newsletter!

Playing the victim is where you just vent and don't want solutions. There's no solution to a made-up event

Chained to the Guardian liveblog like it's a Test Match

So Trump ruins the credibility of football to get a player (Balogun) reinstated to draw attention away from his failed birthright citizenship policy even though said player proves birthright citizenship benefits the US? The only thing he’s competent in is hypocrisy as USA lose on and off the field

BBC: ‘Ronaldo in tears as Portugal crash out of World Cup’

Automatic promotion to the Prem for helping condition English footballers

One for @twoptwips.bsky.social Enliven World Cup coverage by playing Smack My Bitch Up during Referee View

‘Trump thanks FIFA’ This Balogun decision is not at all dodgy

Judging by FIFA’s past decisions expect this referee to get the final

Watching Paraguay fill the Italian shithousery role in this World Cup

I hope the uncertainty of the England v Mexico kick-off time means they haven’t double-dropped Viagra

‘Kids, we can now go to the pub to watch England!’ *Wakes up* ‘Can we still go to the pub?’ ‘Absolutely not’

It turns out they’ve stopped selling speakers

It’s ok to move to an area on the basis that the local pub is playing MGMT Kids in the day, right? Right?

IT'S A GORGEOUS WEEKEND FOR CRISPY PINTS! ✨️ TOMORROW: DJ Milc bringing the beats from 7pm!! 🍻 SATURDAY: ENG v RSA Rugby Nations on the big screen! 🏉 See you at the bar!

Just discovered the first pub I worked in is now a … desi pub 🤣

Oh wow – I just realised that North West Bylines have asked *this person* to write an article about Pride for them.

'The stadium at the highest altitude in professional English football is West Bromwich Albion's The Hawthorns' A FACT MENTIONED IN MY BOOK! www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

This is worth a read. Excellent work as ever

I have a question about the The British Newspaper Archive. I remember seeing that you get access if connected to the Cloud. Is that full-subscriber access?

It’s great when you get a self published hit

A nation united in booing John Terry close-ups

LIZZ TRUSS BALL

The joy of the World Cup is watching all the different styles of football play each other. From France's slick style, the chaotic precision of Argentina to the in-direct insipidness of England, there's something for everyone

Although I support England, I'd feel aggrieved if France didn't win the World Cup. Such beautiful football last night

SESSION #150 ROUND-UP: Thoughts on porter and stout from around the world, with contributions from @agoodbeerblog.bsky.social, @beerdiary.bsky.social, @dingsbeerblog.bsky.social, @morrighani.bsky.social, @beerfoodtravel.bsky.social, @akrennmair.bsky.social and @thebeerfather.bsky.social.

Thomas Hitzlsperger: ‘Makes me question if they even practised penalties’ In my veins 🤣

Thinking of the time I went to a MC battle and the opening line was ‘Alan Shearer him a wanker’

I think someone should explain what BBC impartiality actually is to Alan Shearer before he takes this pro-German posing too far by marrying an American divorcee…

‘I’m too tired to deal with Alan Shearer’

Never seen a fan carrying a replica trophy and thought ‘you’re my type of person’
