How it started; how it finished. Finally completed the Thames Path, 10 years to the day after we started it! #ThamesPath

Glamorgan CCC promoted! 🏏🏏🏏😀

A storm forces Supercar to land in a very remote part of China... but the team are not alone! Premiere: 🏎️ SUPERCAR (1961) 10am 'The Dragon of Ho Meng' #TPTVsubtitles

And a shoutout for our brilliant Box of Delights cover artists. The limited edition hardback is by veteran cartoonist Paul Cemmick and the paperback edition features illustrations by our talented friend @gkw.bsky.social. 🖍️

NBC aired the first episode of 'The Monkees' on this day in 1966.

Went to my first ever gig on this day 50 years ago (unless you count seeing Tom Jones when I was three and a half). I sent off a postal order (£1.50) and an SAE, and the tickets came back a few days later. This ticket stub for the gig is currently selling for £80 on Tracks. Anyone want to buy mine?

Scalextric fan? Captain Scarlet fan? Your day is complete. Two iconic vehicles from the classic Gerry Anderson SF TV series are soon to be available as model racing cars

After a garden tidy up, sat down with an @oakhamales.bsky.social Citra Devil (half Citra, half Green Devil) to read the Autumn ed of @camraofficial.bsky.social BEER - articles by @rogerprotz.bsky.social @davidjesudason.bsky.social @morrighani.bsky.social @jeffevanswriter.bsky.social & others

This is quite a treat for a Sunday evening. Our Brewery’s Untamed feeder-aged wild ale from N Ireland. Delicate, tartly refreshing and very well made.

Amid all the stuff about ‘dangerous London’ and ‘broken Britain’, new figures show the homicide rate in London is at a 10-year low. Killings dropped by 26% over the last year, from 78 to 58. No one under 25 was murdered during the school summer holidays.

Interesting insight into the planning that goes into away football internationals. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Happy 70th birthday to Bruce Foxton. Here are The Jam performing David watts on Revolver in 1978

Where can you find a pint of Bass? Here's the National Bass Directory for September: nationalbassdirectory.wordpress.com/wp-content/u...

Today marks 24 years since Brian Moore passed away. This was ITV’s moving tribute to him shortly after his death. He will always be remembered as one of the greatest football commentators/presenters we’ve ever had. A true gentleman of the game. ❤️

My mission today, should I choose to accept it, is to change a lightbulb.

Absolutely delighted that Dan Briggs, son of the BBC's first official historian Asa Briggs, has written to The Observer supporting the need for on-request vetting to re-instated at the BBC Written Archives Centre (p.29; not I think online). Letter's wording is in the .alt element. #waccampaign

Sad #beerhistory news from Dogfish Head - Dr Pat McGovern has died; a true pioneer of brewing archaeology.

Coming soon! Premiere Sun-14-Sept 9:45pm on #TalkingPicturesTV CREAM: FAREWELL CONCERT (1968) The legendary groups concert filmed live at the #RoyalAlbertHall in 1968. The concert features songs 'Sunshine of your Love', 'Politician' and 'White Room.'

Thank you to @theobserveruk.bsky.social for giving attention today to the campaign for independent access to the BBC Written Archives. The Corporation is still yet to engage with our argument and properly defend the policy shift. That is because it is indefensible. observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

The Bell Inn, Aldworth is CAMRA South Central region Pub of the Year 2025. Congratulations Hugh Macaulay, family and staff at the multi award-winning pub in our Branch. wb.camra.org.uk/2025/08/20/c...

It is very nearly the tenth anniversary of that brief moment when, for 2 or 3 days, British newspapers remembered refugees are desperate human beings who need our help, rather than scum that it's okay to threaten with violence.

In the night we reached 300 signatures. A rapid rise but also a clear statement from the community that this is a retrograde decision causing widespread worry about the future of research - not just of the BBC, but almost anything within its century-plus global and cultural reach. Please join us.

One of the biggest selections of Cask beer at any UK beer fest, 1000s of pints to be pulled. @camraofficial.bsky.social #PeterboroughBeerFestival opens this evening to Saturday, on the river Embankment, minutes from Peterborough railway station. #BskyBeer

Radio historians, please sign this. The BBC WAC is an invaluable resource for research not only into British and Commonwealth broadcasting history. Not vetting files upon request is cutting independent research off from a truly global history of radio that has just started to be written.

The staff at the Written Archives Centre were incredibly helpful in squirrelling out material relating to Crick's early broadcasts on the BBC. That would now be impossible, and those letters would remain unstudied. These abrupt changes will hamper our understanding of the BBC and its role.

Who'd have thought there was time to have a drink in 37 Wetherspoon pubs in London in a single day? Respect! www.tiktok.com/@andy_e15/vi...

Fine display (as always) of wild hops along the Kennet & Avon Canal near our house.

Happy to see the Guardian has an obituary for Martyn Cornell out today. He deserved that. Even if it does feel bitter-sweet to read it. www.theguardian.com/food/2025/au...

The first four episodes of Shang-a-Lang are here. Every one a journey of discovery! youtu.be/Vo-K4CKJ1W8?si=wprYZablD2JzzXCQ

We're 300 followers away from 70,000. 300 more would be really nice. But you know what would be even better? 300 plus 30,000. Bluesky: help a museum out

Martyn Cornell's major study of the origins, history & revival of Porter & Stout, published posthumously. A great legacy. protzonbeer.co.uk/reviews/2025...

So frustrating that another brilliant test series has been hidden behind a pay wall. Such a missed opportunity to show kids just how fantastic proper cricket can be.

Thank you for the reminder. I think today should be National Pogle Day! Slightly confusingly, the show originally appeared within a strand called Clapperboard...

Sitting in the garden on a lovely summer evening drinking a Christmas stout. It’s anarchy here.

"Is Britain about to blow?" asks Matt Goodwin promoted a two hour special event on the subject. Their greasy desperation for violence and carnage, so they can profit off it, is so disgusting.

Enormous thanks to all the judges who made yesterday's International Beer Challenge judging such a success. Great beers, great knowledge, great fun. #IBC2025

Looking forward to judging the IBC tomorrow at The Oval, London. Taking on the role of table captain once more which means my fat fingers on the keyboard typing up the judges comments and awards. Will be good to catch up with old friends too 🍻

The Bell, Aldworth, this Saturday
