First day post charts... □ Lie in □ Daytime TV □ Bobby walk in Greenwich Park □ Greenwich pub lunch □ record shopping □ home □ pass out on sofa... Think of me. It's going to be tough.

Off to Portman Road yesterday, hoping to see my 1,000th Ipswich Town goal in person. A 2-2 draw meant it was just the 999th, but thank you Jack Clarke and a pretty generous referee for giving a rather soft spot kick. Still, they all count. 😁 @ipswichtown.bsky.social @futbologyapp.bsky.social

Down to the @oldspotteddog.bsky.social for @claptoncfc.co.uk 4 #FCRomania 2 yesterday, a top vs bottom clash in front of a record CCFC gate of 1,712. For context, this 10 tier game attracted more fans than five matches in the National League, five tiers above. Extraordinary.

Mesmerizing. #jacobalon

Five more days. @recordstoredayuk.bsky.social

Day trip to Canvey Island for @claptoncfc.co.uk vs Rayleigh Town, second vs fourth. CCFC one up inside five mins... 😃

Busy 24 hour #nonleagueday marathon on Friday/Saturday - Woodford Utd 1 Buckhurst Hill 6 & Basildon Utd 1 Hackney Wick 4 in the @essexsenior.bsky.social & @claptoncfc.co.uk 1 May & Baker 0.

Yesterday Elon Musk retweeted "white solidarity is the only way to survive". In our numb overwhelmed media environment it barely made headlines that the world's richest man endorsed blood-curdling white nationalism.

The Oscars at its best. 👏👏👏👏👏

Now presenting: The Oscars, the Matt Berry cut 🎬

Drop albums, not bombs.

Tense 2-0 wins for @claptoncfc.co.uk & @ipswichtown.bsky.social, both are now one place outside their leagues respective automatic spots. Bobby & I could only be in one place though - at the @oldspotteddog.bsky.social for Clapton CFC 2 Cannons Wood 2. @nonleaguedogs.bsky.social #nonleaguedog

Shall I cash out? 🤔

Manchester United fans unveiled a pro-immigration banner during Sunday’s fixture against Crystal Palace in response to comments from minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe. More from @lauriewhitwell.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/707...

Wow. Well, what an amazing Brit Awards in Manchester last night. Highlights? Bjork guesting with Rosalia & Harry's opening performance - and the biggest screen you have EVER seen proving the most spectacular series of backdrops. Incredible.

10 straight league wins for Clapton CFC and back to the top of the league. ⚽️👏

Busy ol' birthday week. #blessed Sun - No Other Choice @curzon.com (5/10); Harry Hill @sohotheatre.bsky.social (8/10) Wed - Ezra Furman @ O2Forum (9/10) Thurs - Wuthering Heights premiere @ Odeon LSquare (7/10) Fri - Midlake @ Electric Ballroom (9/10) Sat - snooze....😴

Having missed / avoided The Traitors entirely, finally watched the final tonight. Its basically the cast of Love Island playing the Cones Of Dunshire, isn't it? 🤔

Incredible work. 😂

"Trump and Malignant Narcissism" from psychologist and former John Hopkins University Professor Dr. John Gartner.

Quite a football weekend. Up to Portman Road for a 3-0 win yesterday, off to see a film about two former Ipswich Town managers today. Both entertaining, excellent in parts, but not completely coherent.

First live performance of the year; first “album of the year” contender of the year. Dry Cleaning @ Rough Trade East. Outstanding.

We can’t go on like this. In just two days, the average FTSE 100 CEO has made a median workers full time annual salary. The right calls this “wealth creation”. It’s wealth extraction. Time to tax the rich. @highpaycentre.bsky.social highpaycentre.org/fat-cat-day-...

A set of results the insane Christmas fixture schedule deserves...

On my way to Portman Road for one of the few New Year's Day football matches I've attended. Thirty years ago today, I took my dad to what turned out to be his last match at his beloved White Hart Lane. It was quite a game. I'll be raising a glass to him today.

This begs so many questions... Not least: "who is Dipstick? And why does he only do tyres and exhausts? 🧐🤔

I did warn you... 🤔 www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/c...

Frosty, misty morning.

This year, Newcastle United's owner had people put to death at a rate of nearly one-a-day.

RIP to Rob Reiner, a director behind the camera for many iconic lines & images in modern cinema, and influence with Castle Rock Entertainment beyond his own. Choose to remember that, and his efforts to improve the lives of others - ignore the other noise and maybe pop on one of his films this week.

Last two gigs of a strong concert year this weekend - and they couldn't have been more different. @snappedankles.bsky.social at the ICA, Flyte at @kingsplacelondon.bsky.social. Splendid stuff.

Sadly, the precise opposite seems to be much more common. As this weekend has proven.

Robin Ince reveals to last night’s audience at a recording of Infinite Monkey Cage that the BBC has forced him to resign over his support of trans people

It’s a special evening in an Ipswich-Spurs household like ours. This only happens very rarely (just a couple of times since Lily was born in 2002), so we treasure it. 🍾🥂😃

Some people seem to find sharing the results to be deeply uncool, but I love seeing what is on other people's Spotify Wrapped. December's many EoY lists (newspapers, retailers, web mags) is one of the best things about this time of year IMHO. Here is mine... Please share yours...

What did I tell you?

Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement. Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph Because this does NOT add up! No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies… 🧵1/9

Music and dogs. 🥰

Gorgeous dog walk this morning.

Share a 90s film that you feel deserves more love… (Strictly, it’s 1989, but… ☺️)

Mercury nominated Joe Webb Trio at the PEX Jazz Club in Dean St. Splendid way to end the week.

Special treat tonight. Home delivery Chinese takeaway - and it came with a free ashtray! #winnerwinnerChinesedinner #classy

Flesh is a brilliant novel and deserved Booker winner. But (warning for the faint of heart) it is also particularly explicit in parts. More importantly however, it may also be the first Booker winner to feature the pelican crossing at the end of our road. 😃 @wansteadium.bsky.social

This is Herman. He learned how to eat corn on the cob today. And within 11 seconds, he became an expert. 13/10 (TT: devonjohnson07)
