Biggles as Blu Roll

If you’re watching Spain v Austria and, understandably, think it’s the dancing horses derby, you’re wrong. The horses for the Spanish Dance School in Vienna are bred in Slovenia. #HabsburgFact Nevertheless, enjoy this youtu.be/V_bJf3foa5I?...

Stokes has given so much for the team. While very saddened about what he could still bring, he owes us nothing. I’ve been thinking about the best England players since I reached adulthood. He’s one of only seven greats. Thanks Ben. #benstokes #cricket #ecb

Where do beavers go on holiday. Gnawway Gnaw-way Norway (but with a g, like gnaw, like what beavers do, but the country)

Kings of Leon seeing a small Citroen ablaze: “Oh, woah, you Saxo’s on fire”

I would like to check the veracity of this claim, but in the style of T-Rex. “Tiramisu, is it true?”

Loved #Hungary for years. The dark shadow of Moscow has hung over it for a decade. At a Budapest wedding last year where Bella Ciao was played, and a break in Pécs, it seemed like the shadow was being blown away. Tonight has shown it. Szép ünnepet! #magyarorszag #fidesz #orban #tisza #politics

Fancy helping someone do something good? My friend is trying to launch the first independent #cinema and #cafe in #Kampala #Uganda Anyone who can help, please donate to #JustGiving here: www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding... See their plan here: youtu.be/4Wpvi4kueFw?...

Like travel? Like Europe? Like a bit of stupidity? This is for you! #travel #europe #balkan #roadtrip

Nearly got thrown out of M&S for foul and abusive language for asking where these were.

Myrrh is what people from Hull call the bar owner from the Simpsons.

Broadcasters who think it’s good or atmospheric to build up to a landmark sporting event with some shite poetry. Please, please, stop. #sport #snooker #bbcsport #snookerfinal

I love ska punk; I love BBC3: I love surrealist humour. What I really want to hear is… Mighty Mighty Boosh Tones #ska #skapunk #music #comedy #mightyboosh

Reskeet with a time you looked cool.

As an under-50 who qualifies for the flu jab, I had my vaccine today and, less than 20mins later, was referencing the early-70s Tufty Club because a squirrel ran across the road in front of our car. Wake up, sheeple…

Perhaps having Tory stooges wasn’t the right direction for the #BBC Think on, Kemi

Ah, this takes me back to my flat, Club Bongo. Or that one time we tried to do bouji and called it Nightspot Quaff.

If you see this, quote with the energy you bring to Bluesky

It’s not just the US and UK, it’s the crazy shit that’s been going on in France, Germany, Poland, Czechia too; the Russian drones in Lithuania and Romania. It’s all looking quite concerning. The oddest thing is Orban voting against Putin. Strange days indeed

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday. As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

Horrible, obviously, but it’s been really nice up north today, knowing that most of the very, very worst people in the country have been in London.

Meh, I was always more of a Ceefax guy

Sexy slang? @apiln.bsky.social

It’s great to see official @libdems.org.uk and @greenparty.org.uk accounts here. While the outlook may seem bleak, there are people and parties looking to hear the voices of the reasonable, and those of us who used to be -centrist+. Whatever our leanings, we thought the respectful were the masses.

Having James do Destiny Calling on the same edition as Spice Girls (and with the X-Factor shite to come) reminds me how great and prescient that song was #totp #james #music

As I kid, I used to be incredibly longsighted. That’s why my dad took me train spotting in Manchester sidings. Go on, make a better joke about train spotting in Manchester that opticians appreciate #train #optician #joke #manchester

What were you doing today? Me? I was enjoying a get together with friends and watching the Lionesses in their 3rd consecutive final retaining their status as Euros champions. I was pleased to be English. Surely everyone who claims to be more patriotic than I was doing something similar. Oh…

I came from rural E Yorks to Leicester. Made friends w a Sikh guy called Hari. The loveliest guy, he joined us on every night out - to rock, punk clubs, everything At legendary punk club, the Charlotte, they played Brimful of Asha, and he went beautifully nuts. (1/2)

It’s taken a while, but I’ve finally managed to get a trustworthy answer from a Google search. #AI #Google

Woke up with the pejorative phrase “Er gwaetha pob Dic Siôn Dafydd” in my head. Since 5pm, my inner monologue has been singing the rest of #YmaoHyd. I’m English and want the #lionesses to win, but my Welsh heritage is strong. Gutted there’s no way for us both to be successful. #ENGWAL #WEuros25

This by Dire Straits is surely an 80s TV theme? I know it’s not Howard’s Way, Boon or any of the good ones, so what is it? Farmhouse Kitchen? #liveaid

#LiveAid was undoubtedly worthy, but the logo makes me wonder if Denmark was responsible for the funding.

Hearing Yma o Hyd ring out always gets me, so I can only imagine how it stirs Welsh people. #WEuros2025 #FRAWAL

Guess this is the closest we’ll get to seeing Max Bygraves at #glastonbury [sad face] #RodStewart

My favourite Christmas present? Since you ask… it was someone who realised I like chocolate-covered kebab meat. They bought me a tub of Cadbury’s Gyros.

I’ve been in #CzechRepublic for 10 days. Met a couple from #Sheffield who’d just arrived “Hot, innit?” one of them said. Me, a fan of warm weather, said: “yeah, crazy hot” then told them about being in 1 degree in the Budvar cellar. Me & 3 Teessiders breathed a sigh of relief, other put coats on.

“I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: 'Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert.’ I flipped him a quid and said: ‘Can’t you do somethin’ by the Kaiser Chiefs, mate?’”

Argh, not Brian Wilson. This hurts. Saw him at Glastonbury in 2005. It was utterly joyous, even with the obvious disclaimers. What a genuine talent, a trailblazer, a rare genius. #brianwilson

Post a ten year old picture of yourself. Zombie like midoritini… and chins

Classic case of jigsaw identification here. Unless every Man City fan is an eight-year-old boy who’s had a tough time and got bought hospitality tickets by their teacher auntie who doesn’t know much about football. #FACupFinal #guardian

Well, there we go. The non-league Spurs. At least I can now fully get behind #YorkCity But why would they want a #Rochdale fan to cheer them on?

Can we all agree that appeasing flag-shagging Brits and trying to appeal to the worst of humanity is a stance that is already taken and never truly works? #KeirStarmer and @teamlabouruk.bsky.social should start to appeal to those who want an effective country and global unity. #politics
