Haringey Borough winners of the Spartan South Midlands League thanks to a point away at Cockfosters tonight.

Post your favourite film from the year you turned 18….

“Not common knowledge” is doing a huge amount of heavy lifting here. There is almost nothing in this thread I already knew about, and I know _loads_ of things.

Speaking as someone who lives ~200 metres from the main stage at Wireless… oh no, this is exactly what I didn’t want to happen.

I don’t know if you know this about Venice, but it actually has almost as many canals as Birmingham.

Anyone have any recommendations for things/places I should do/see/go in Venezia?

Please at least say it was a self-service buffet, because I’ve had some pretty mad plates myself at a hotel breakfast, but this is truly deranged. WHY ARE THERE STRAWBERRIES?!!

In the world as it is I find increasing pleasure in people on my timeline just enjoying their stuff - even (especially?) when it's of no particular interest to me. Recent topics in my feed include pottery and birdwatching. Neither of which I am into myself, but I'm into you being into it.

My local councillor recently crossed the floor from Labour to Green, and I am looking forward to my vote following them.

Average of all the polls. We just hit crossover day! Great moment to join as we take on Reform next. Join.greenparty.org.uk

"(no relation)" is perfect

Chelsea can pipe down about nonsense VAR decisions now.

Maybe God is mad at us because we had the hubris to claim we could build bears.

I have got myself a spot on a wildlife photography expedition later this year to shoot polar bears in the pack ice north of Svalbard, and I am HYPED!! Mid-life Crisis Era intensifies.

Arsenal were poor defensively for large parts of the game tonight - and _incredibly_ lucky to get away with the first disallowed goal - but 3 very well taken goals means they were probably deserved winners, and with Leah and/or Steph to come back for the second leg you have to be optimistic.

I'm mostly of the opinion that Laia Codina is a bit rubbish, but by meekly falling over instead of challenging for the ball she's done an absolute solid there.

Was out photographing for @canarytrails.bsky.social at the Surrey Hills Marathon yesterday. Lovely conditions for a top event.

There’s an office in London that contains something critical to the security of the global internet — a bunch of swinging pendulums. www.ianvisits.co.uk/articles/ins...

Just back from a week in Norway learning how to manage expeditions in the polar regions. I took a few photos along the way too.

OK, I have to admit this is quite funny.

Twerkers at the barbeque get priority parking 🫡

I'm not much of an Arsenal (men) fan, but if I were to be an Arsenal (men) fan then this would be *extremely* funny. #TheFootball

Mittens went to the vet on Monday evening and has been in a cone since then. The cone means she can’t go outside, but there has been no litter tray action at all. I went out for little while this evening and have never been so thrilled to return home to a turd in the litter tray.

I find it deeply strange how the TV coverage of the two-man bobsleigh only ever refers to the pilot as if they’re an individual competitor and we never even get to learn the name of the other guy.

So good to see Leah Williamson back in the starting XI. I’m a big fan of Catley and LWM, but Leah is just different gravy. #awfc #arsenal

My favourite thing* about this Olympic ice dance competition is the continued insistence on "twizzle" as a technical term. [*aside from all of the other things]

The drone cameras have been the MVP of this Winter Olympics. They were stunning on the Downhill this morning and absolutely mind blowing now in the Big Air.

Massive result for Arsenal today, and well deserved. The title race is still over but this could be huge for the Champions League qualifying spots. Looking at the fixtures remaining you have be optimistic. #awfc

Happy abseiling lesbians day to all who celebrate!!!

Some subtle shade in today’s Times crossword. “Trouble from ChatGPT, say, source of lies (3)”

No dice. Honestly a little relieved.

If for reasons I needed to go for a long weekend away from London, where should I go and why? Only requirement is it needs to be less than ~4 hours travel time door to door.

Arsenal Women "Dominate a game and not somehow lose 1-0" challenge. Level: impossible. #awfc

Made a last minute call to throw my hat in for OCC. Only got 3 pebbles, so not expecting a spot, but I feel like I at least have a chance to have a nice time over 56k.

Holmberg looking like a very good signing right now.

This is the #TheTraitors content I am here for.

always good to see a government cracking down on degenerate art

I low-key love the fact that someone has clearly just gone ‘fuck it, I’m making the house that I like and I don’t care what you, or any concept of “good taste”, have to say about it’ And honestly… why not?

My wild and speculative Traitors theory is that Stephen is the secret traitor. I look forward to being proven laughably wrong.

The Fibonacci-Premier League fact that was on the Only Connect I just watched has blown my mind. Blackburn - 1 🏆 Leicester - 1 🏆 Liverpool - 2 🏆 Arsenal - 3 🏆 Chelsea - 5 🏆 Man City - 8 🏆 Man Utd - 13 🏆 Absolute perfection in trivia form.

This post is wildly inaccurate. I’m 42.

2025 has been an absolute bollock of a year. I'd love to hope that 2026 will be better, but I said something similar at the end of 2024 as well, so we'll wait and see...

100% going to watch the hell out of this.

It’s genuinely remarkable how little atmosphere there is in the room for the World Cup draw. I’ve been to funerals with a better vibe. It’s physically painful to watch.

I took some photos at the @canarytrails.bsky.social Copthorne Races at the weekend. These are a couple of my favourites. There are more at www.leonardmartin.photo/galleries/co...

I don’t really expect this will raise much by way of meaningful revenue, but it’s refreshing to see the current government faced with an open goal and actually score rather than punching themselves in the face and pissing their pants.

Cats for the #ffconf cat wall

I attended the first #ffconf in 2009, and back today after a 10 year absence. It’s definitely 16! (And I feel old now)

There is a sitcom trope where a male protagonist completely changes some aspect of their identity to attract a woman, and all other characters and the audience see them as completely ridiculous and insincere, but the protagonist is blind to the ridicule. This is not a post about the Labour Party.
