There must be a cheaper way to stop them fighting?

Real Madrid when they see Trent's Agents number on their phone.

THREAD/Earlier today, I was sent this photograph of an Air Raid Warden on lookout at The Valley by Ben Hayes from the excellent @chathmuseum.bsky.social who asked me if I could provide any further details. The photo is captioned on the reverse as being of Harry Goldfinch and taken on 26 August 1944.

United finally matching City for results and still people moaning.

I don't know who NINES is but I haven't seen this many police expecting trouble at O2 Greenwich since Mama Mia The Party did Buy One Get One Free on Pina Coladas.

Paul has emerged as one of the leading figures of his generation, according to sources close to Paul.

The Dog and Bell in Deptford. That's it. That's the tweet. Or the Blueskeet.

Rare second outing in a week. Jeff Rosenstock at the Electric Ballroom. Bloody brilliant. Now, bed.

Still a whole 5 hours left to oppose The White Swan in Charlton Village from becoming another supermarket! Find out how to object now: bit.ly/49b27s9 #SaveTheWhiteSwan #YesIKnowIHave5FollowersOnBlueSky #ItsThePrinciple

Went to see Paul Foot do his show Dissolve last night at the Soho Theatre. It was excellent and I laughed like a drain. He stayed a long time after the show talking to people too, really lovely bloke.

What was our biggest story of the year? All this and more in our review of the past 12 months in Greenwich. greenwichwire.co.uk/2023/12/31/t...

Is that the best you've fucking got 2023!!! Me shouting after sorting the spice shelf.

#RebelMoon. Watch the original Magnificent Seven and save yourself some time. Started badly and went steadily downhill.

That was good! Front Bottoms at Kentish Town. Has there ever been a bigger gap between hope bad the band name is and how great the band are? Carter USM maybe come second?

judas: ok guys. what’s everybody bringing for the last supper jesus: the what supper judas: the regular supper. ordinary supper

Really hating this Guy Ritchie pub far far less than I'd hoped.

'This is all so self-evident that it is hard for me to unpack... but I wanted to use the word "unpack".' Man I miss Norm MacDonald.

I nearly posted a political opinion but then thought 'oh don't, it's so nice here'.

You don't need to try so hard little buddy, I got you.

When I see you walk your dog but not let her stop and smell stuff I smell it for her and tell her about it later when you’re asleep

@neilclasper.bsky.social Hey Neil. Are you still playing at the Bugle later?

I really like Jess Phillips. And I find it baffling that she has jacked in a role she clearly loves in the shadow cabinet, which could have been a government role within a year, over a irrelevant (to Israel) motion based on the definitions of ceasefire (both sides) vs pause (one side).

My MP is near enough nailed-on to have a Government role this time next year working on something very important, that he clearly knows a shed load about. So seeing constituents (?) pressuring him to vote for ceasefire resolution that will achieve zero apart from getting him sacked, is maddening.

Reading all the people in the other place pretending not to understand why what Andy McDonald MP said just might be seen as controversial. Disagree with the reaction by all means, but the 'what's the problem?' replies...

Livened up a dull gloomy cycle home by interviewing myself as Jordan Henderson and explaining why a move to Saudi league wasn't a betrayal of his support for LGBT rights. Did a pretty good job to be fair, it's certainly shifted my opinion.
