Whatever happens for the rest of this game tonight, that Wales shirt is a proper deep red. Lovely!

My website @footballinberkshire.co.uk is 10 in Match. It would be really cool if, to celebrate, it picked up an FSA nomination. Category 12 is all about non league - would appreciate any nominations you can offer for us: www.surveymonkey.com/r/fsa-awards...

Bucket list item ticked ✅

This weeks ear works have, so far, been Mighty Wings (Cheap Trick), Alive (Meatloaf) and the theme from Gabby’s Dollhouse..

A good evenings work and a pic with a football legend to top it all off!

RISQUE GALORE

God bless you me old mate ❤️

Evening 👌

I’ve read this multiple times from the @sloughtownfc.bsky.social captain. Given it’s been 10 days since the tragedy, it baffles me there appears to have been no progress. footballinberkshire.co.uk/news/footbal...

I was going to give the beer a miss for a bit but I’ve just attempted to wash my four year olds hair and I need a beer.

Watching this Rugby World Cup Final and the faith I have in the young boys of this world will be just fine, shouting and cheering for the women’s team like it’s normal. Which it absolutely fucking should be.

Digital ID cards is the equivalent of when I have loads of deadlines I’ve got to hit, but nah one more hour of Football Manager won’t hurt.

About 20 years late, but good!

Good morning @watsoncomedian.bsky.social - with apologies for accosting you on your way out of Maidenhead on Thursday. I hadn’t realised how long my friend and I had been at the bar 😂

With profuse apologies to anyone who had my name setup as a Google alert this morning.

Right, very excited for my first @watsoncomedian.bsky.social gig. Left Reading for this and everything.

I’ve started publishing my beery stuff on @in-berkshire.co.uk which includes this wonderful headline about some very very fine breweries coming to @sirencraftbrew.bsky.social at the weekend ⤵️ in-berkshire.co.uk/beer/the-ker...

The Kilmarnock goalkeeper top is a piece of art 👌

I see the uniting of the nation has gone well

When I say ‘working on’ I obviously mean actively, wilfully ignoring.

So I’ve quietly launched something this week I’ve been pondering and working on for the last few years. The beer part is just a small aspect of what it is can be - but it’s something I know and enjoy writing about. Comments welcome! (1/2) in-berkshire.co.uk/beer/5-brill...

Rising sea levels could be fixed by simply taking all the boats out of the sea.

If you get sent off against QPR, your suspension shouldn’t apply until you next face QPR. Why should another team benefit.

Can anyone beat four managers in 16 matches?

As an ‘absolutely not an Arsenal fan’, Limpar was one of the players of my childhood.

Ever wondered what happens when a football club is picked to appear on the tele? I asked the questions nobody is asking. footballinberkshire.co.uk/features/in-...

Today on LinkedIn profile views..

Tough day for me.. it took them a whole 4.5 hours of careful consideration! Thankfully freelance is going pretty well 😂

I dunno needs to be sexier. Business rates? Ah cost of a pint. We can all get ragey at the cost of a bloody pint. None of that is anything to do with asylum seekers though 🤷‍♂️

I have got to stop going on Facebook.

Wrote this about flags and patriotism in 2021 (in The Decade In Tory). Stand by every word now.

Perfect stout weather 🇫🇷

Of all the modern kids shows in the world, I did not expect Mickey Mouse’s Clubhouse to be the most irritating.

I’ve not thought about this for years until I just saw one in the Co-op car park, but when I was a kid people had cars covered in soft toys stuck to the windows with those plastic suckers. As you were.

But how would anyone sell a newspaper?

I’m really really happy #readingfc have a new owner, appear to be doing good things, but they absolutely have to lose the Trumpy ‘Make Reading Great Again’ schtick. Proper ick 🤢

ECB took cricket from the masses and put it behind a paywall. That they now have to stump up for press coverage is a problem of their own making.

I was far older than I care to admit when I realised the Steel Horse Jon Bon Jovi was riding was a motorbike and not, well.. a steel horse.

Life, don’t talk to me about life!

Pictured is the former West Ham United and England great (Sir) Alan Devonshire laughing at a joke I've just made (you can't prove he isn't) as I hosted a Q&A for Wokingham Town's 150th anniversary on Sunday. A brilliant evening, I am humbled to have been asked to do it. Thank you and goodnight.

In hindsight, ignoring the fact there is a kitchen sink behind me at all would have been funnier.

Speedway was a sport I only ever saw on the regional news bulletin, but moving into local media I became more aware of it. I was too late to actually see any though because it’s essentially been wiped from the map around here. I hope this gets sorted because I’d definitely go.

This evening is a first for me, I’ll be interviewing West Ham United legends Phil Parkes and Alan Devonshire live on stage as part of Wokingham Town’s 150th anniversary celebrations. I thought I’d crowd source a question or two so let’s have them ⤵️

I don’t miss a single bit of this particular cricket discourse 😂

Back in the happy place.

I wrote this over a year ago, and thought that was it... But today Google has made things *even worse*. It now scrapes the answer to almost any query, meaning the information providers gets nothing from the deal. www.whingewhingewine.co.uk/worst-of-goo...

Someone very wise just told me “there’s not much more humbling than a sports photo.” So wise.
