Hydration break.

This guy. 😓 @ipswichtown.bsky.social

Clouds; cows.

😍😍😍😍

Superb from Ben Kweller at Islington Assembly Halls tonight. New favourite artist. 👏👏👏👏

Blessed to be able to catch the incomparable Aldous Harding and Jenny Lewis / Rilo Kiley at the Barbican and Shepherd's Bush Empire within just a few days. What a city this is. #tiredofLondontiredoflife

World Cup public service.

Aldous Harding at @barbicancentre.bsky.social at the weekend was extraordinary, just hypnotic - as is her new album. This excellent piece by @roughtrade1976.bsky.social co-owner Stephen Godfroy goes a long way to explaining why she is so special. blog.roughtrade.com/in-profile-w...

It would be terrible if this action by Meta resulted in more people buying & reading Wynn-Williams's excellent book. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Congratulations Arsenal fans on winning the Premier League - have a great evening & enjoy the many evenings of celebration to come. But forgive me for also thinking of Soton fans tonight, regarding the much bigger football story this evening. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Paul Simon at the London Palladium last night was a bucket list show if ever there was one - and it didn't disappoint. Sheer perfection.

How delicious that in golf, the whitest of sports, a man of Indian descent becomes the first English winner of the PGA in more than 100 years - just a day after Tommy Robinson's mouth breathers descending on our capital. Delicious. 👏👏👏👏👏 www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/m...

Some chat from me.... www.linkedin.com/posts/martin...

Anyone looking to judge which is better, the Prem or the EFL, should just spend 5-10 mins flicking between Spurs-Leeds and Millwall-Hull on Sky. The Prem, sterile, quiet, slow, dull; the Championship, raucous, gutsy, passionate, committed.

Happy Aldous Harding new album day for all who observe! Yay!

Can't imagine there will be many gigs this year like last night's at the Scala, featuring a Can cover (Vitamin C), a Harry Nilsson cover (Without You) and a guest appearance from the star turn's mum. But that's how Tyler Ballgame rolls. An early contender for gig of the year. 👏👏👏👏

What a game last night. My 2nd trip to St Mary's - last time it was 3-3 (in 2001), this time 2-2. Ipswich Town now take the promotion campaign to the last game this Saturday. One win vs QPR and we are back in the Premier League! COYB @ipswichtown.bsky.social

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.

Talbot family outing. @o2academybrixton.bsky.social @soulwaxx.bsky.social

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...
