I was once the deputy fashion editor for an ailing regional daily newspaper and let me tell you with some authority that this is a shit look.

Well, I’m glad I decided to watch this. It’s almost a walk in the park.

I’ve been out with dreadful, high maintenance women who were less high maintenance than Michah Richards. #engarg #analysis

April 2024 - Nigel Farage ‘gifted’ £5 million from Christopher Harborne. SIX MONTHS LATER - September 2024 - Nigel references Kier Starmer’s acceptance of a gift of new glasses, all the time having £5 million in his back pocket! H/t @mrjamesob.bsky.social

I really hate it when they delay the 10pm news for minor sports like the tennis. Put it on BBC 2, ffs.

On my way, Clacton.

A reminder that even Hitler didn’t do this in the 1936 Berlin Olympics.

Just kick him out of the ground.

I don’t want to alarm you but England are defending like Leicester City, and we know how that ended. #engdrc #lcfc

Hydration break.

I vowed not to drink this week after drinking every night last week. Regretting that now, tbh.

The worst striker I’ve ever seen in a Leicester City shirt, and I’m old enough to remember Ian Ormondroyd. Watch him have the game of his life tonight.

If you can watch the last bit of that speech - his wife, his kids - and not feel the slightest lump in your throat then check your pulse, you may already be dead.

Respect.

I’m watching this in a bar in Berlin and I’m already embarrassed.

The deepest of deep sighs.

It's a deeply depressing indication of where we are as a species that Elon Musk became the first ever trillionaire in the same week as he used his social media platform to incite race riots on the other side of the planet

Listen to the people who loved their boy and not the people who want to use it to stir hate.

Went in “just for a trim” this morning at my local Kurdistan barber’s and came out looking like Hank Hill’s dad.

I’m a journalist to my core but if my editor made me do this I’d quit and work in Aldi.

Apparently it’s Give Your Dog More Biscuits day but, tbh, that’s every day for Max.

Oh my. This is spectacular. sinceyouarrived.world/taken

In the interests of balance, my old Mercury colleague interviewed David Attenborough and the great man was quite rude* to him. * Although I do remember the interview going downhill when my mate admitted he used to pull the legs off daddy long legs and Attenborough was appalled.

My son and his girlfriend fell out last month and he plays Elton John’s ‘Goodbye Yellow Brick Road’ every night before he goes out and it’s beginning to make me feel like I’ve loved and lost.

Remember:

Our End of Season Survey is still open for ALL fans to give their views about our football club. It's important, now more than ever, that fans take a few minutes to complete the survey and have their voice heard. surveymonkey.com/r/BLS29D9

I remember complaining internally about the dreadful Leicester Mercury website in 2016. Ten years on, it’s worse, far worse. What an absolute mess local news is.

Losing at Portsmouth, in a game we had to win and didn’t ever come close to it. It saddens me to say it but we deserve to be where we are and we deserve to go down. #lcfc

I lose my job next week. Leicester City are about to be relegated to the old 3rd division. And now - good God - this. www.lbc.co.uk/article/russ...

Grant me the optimism of Mel Giedroyc’s agent who managed to persuade sensible people that her client might be a worthwhile addition to Last One Laughing. My bin is funnier.

Ben Foster on MOTD2 tonight.

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

Today is: Dog walk Pizza Leicester match Pub I couldn’t be happier about that. Not even the football can spoil it (it undoubtedly will.)

That’s one hell of a cover…..

Is there anyone else this is happening to? I download lots of podcasts to my iPhone on the Apple Podcast app - and then the app just wipes them all. It’s happened five or six times now. What is this madness?

We’re on the verge of WWIII, America is being governed by a madman - and the lead item on the navel-gazing, hair-shirt loving BBC News is that Scott Mills has been sacked. I’m a journalist to my core but the game’s gone.

There’s a pigeon nesting outside my office window. My guess is it’s so exposed the magpies will have that before Easter.

Heartening to see my local church getting behind Leicester City’s Championship fight. #lcfc

‘oh yeah and democracy or something as well, whatever we said the reason for the war was’

A brilliant take down of one of the industry's biggest charlatans - the poster-boy for every kid in a bedroom who wishes to 'break' transfer news to masses. Brilliant journalism from an actual journalist, about someone who isn't a journalist. Hopefully will help wash away the ITK transfer culture

Walked the dog without my woolly hat on tonight for the first time since October. Better days are coming.

I’ve played Beadle every day since Covid. It’s how I start the day. I don’t quite know what I’ll do.

I’ve woken up with horrible chest pain this morning so if it really is the end please make sure my family play Freebird at my funeral and not show tunes which is what my son says they’re going to do.

This is blackout poetry to me

Walked into Leicester in the rain this afternoon but guess who just got back today…

Likely-historic photo by NBC News of all the Epstein victims asked to raise their hands if they've not yet been asked to meet with the DOJ as Bondi testifies in foreground

3-0 up. And this is how it ends. We’re absolutely doomed. #lcfc
