It's "Wear your old band t-shirt to work day" today! Seems to be simplified to t-shirt day these days. What shall I wear? Levellers? Pele? Pearl Jam? Men They Couldn't Hang? I think that's about it.

I had better hurry up and watch the final episode of King and Conquerer before I hear from another source what happens. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Last Night of the Proms! Awesome again. Great flag action!

This is not work!

Happy birthday to our Favourite visitor's husband! @wadski.bsky.social

Drove 200 miles across Yorkshire (Scarborough) and back today. Total of flags in unusual positions: White Rose 3 George Cross 2 Union Flag 1 Make of that what you will.

I appear to be bingewatching BBC Gardeners World.

Heading down to Devon for a few days with Second born to see brother and family. Looking forward to a good drive, hopefully Mavis's aircon will work.

Ey up. Is anyone showing England V Italy in Valletta this evening?

A fine haul from @vinyltaprecords.bsky.social utilising family gifted birthday record vouchers and cash.

So Trumpington is heading here in September. Is there a demo being organised? Will the baby blimp be raised?

Awesome stuff today on @bbcradio6musicbot.bsky.social . Back to 1994, reminding me of pootling around the lanes of Lincolnshire in my Ford 8210 listening to Atlantic 252 on the dodgy push button wireless. The only thing missing is Mark and Lard!

Whilst the wife's away the cats will sit, sneering at me as I destalk millions and millions of redcurrants.

Redcurrant harvest time.

Is it safe to turn Radio 6 back on?

T'Devils Arrows!

I'm now a Kimchi addict

I'm bored of sodding Gallstonebury all over the radio, and it's not even started!

I now have an adult child. Does this mean that finally I may get an alcoholic present, just at the point when I no-longer need it? Oh, the irony.

Yay, Springwatch! @bbcspringwatch.bsky.social

It's NFL ticket day! Is Ticketmaster going to melt down, can it beat back the army of bots trying to buy tickets? Looking forward to watching @jaguarsnfl.bsky.social vs @laramsfanzone.bsky.social on October.

49th donation in my 49th year! Orange Club supply v.good #Huddersfield

@hvmrt.bsky.social Thanks so much for a fab evening teaching Cambodunum Explorers about what Holme Valley Mountain Rescue do

A cracking cider line up over there in Doncaster. @donnybrewer.bsky.social

I tell you what, the mayflower is putting on a show this year. No photo, sorry.

Woooah, The NFL London fixtures are out! It's going to be a busy week as Jags and Rams is my pick

I'm getting a bit tired of the Radio 6 breakfast show, but then they play Galliano. Forgiven for another week or two

@barmas.bsky.social absolutely fabulous this Shefflenzer Edelmost. Delicious, refreshing, little bit of tannin, a bit of citrus. Stunning!

Kicked off the weekend @uddersorchardcider.bsky.social cider festival. A brilliant community event with over 25 ciders on offer. Going to be a beautiful weekend, so may have to nip down again.

Every doorstep should have a cat on it. (Pic LightHackers)

Printers are complete and utter wankers! I do mean the mechanical ones.

Testing ciders! Lindley Cider Festival tomorrow and all weekend!

Today was Hobnob day. The day when I decide that winter is over and I can eat the chocolate hobnobs that I store in my car boot over winter for emergency purposes.

The Court of Appeal has this week ruled that anti-protest laws which completely ignored the will of Parliament are UNLAWFUL It has not been mentioned on a single news show this morning. If they won’t cover it let’s do it ourselves

There's no elections in Huddersfield tomorrow but you can still Vote Real Cider!

Whenever I put on a 90s indie playlist on Spotify, 50% of the songs are awful covers of Shirehorses Songs.

Happy Earth Day! Cider is easy on Earth! Pressing apples requires more human energy than electricity. We use little water. It ferments using wild yeasts that work whatever the temp! No heating or refrigerating is required. We work with Mother Earth, not against her. Help Earth, drink more cider!

A first class stamp is still a bargain. The Post Office should change their marketing slogan to "If you think £1.70 is expensive, then take it yourself"

I don't believe that someone would take the effort to write a letter for inclusion in @privateeyenews.bsky.social then never buy a copy again! Surely their ego will get the better of them?

If Trump ever visits The UK again I hope that this is out!

I've bottled 2024 ice Cider today. 11.5%, finished at 1.02, so not as sweet as 2022 and 2023. Used a corking machine I picked up from an antique shop in Beverley!

It’s Easter 🐣 and we’re open all weekend including Monday 12-8, so come on down - we’ve got loads of milds in the cellar (it’s going to get colder…)

I'm getting a lot of emails saying I should springclean my pension! Having looked at them, I'm pretty sure Trump has cleaned them out thoroughly already!

Netflix's Adolescence highlights the danger of social media content on young people's minds. There needs to be an equivalent show highlighting the dangers of newspaper content on the minds of the elderly

There may be no local elections here in Huddersfield, England, this May but we insist you exercise your democratic rights on your favourite cider at our festival. As with all votes, research is essential!

Less than 300 responses for this petition to get an official response from the government. Take two minutes to do something good today.

Things are now getting serious. Trump has just announced a additional 34% tariff on the time Popmaster contestants get to say hello to everyone they know.

For Americans who didn’t get the joy of living through the Truss/Kwarteng budget, this is the point where the government starts to call the stock market left-wing and/or woke.

With the popcorn (fish and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce) watching the dow jones plummet. Hmmmm
