Better late than never, but I've finally got round to writing up my favourite films of 2024 ✍️🍿 It was another great year for movies, so it was bloody hard to get it down to just 2⃣0⃣, but here we go 👇 jackraff91.wordpress.com/2025/01/05/my-…
I’ve got an all timer level hangover and I won’t lie, trying to figure out what the bloody hell is going in on this Aussie Rules game ain’t helping at all

I’m on an hour delay watching the 1975 at Glastonbury. In real time, has Matty Healy finished that pint of Guinness yet? It’s not gone down in three songs so far from what I’m watching. #Glastonbury2025
Just saw the Lions win a test series with a last minute try at the MCG, don’t worry about it…

Been in the pub ahead of the Lions test and heard from the parents back at home. Is this the most stereotypical Dad response vs the most stereotypical Mum response anybody has ever had in their entire life? 🦁🍺


Absolutely deluded, what a player! 🦊 Also, it tastes an awful lot like promotion…
MAKE THAT 1⃣3⃣!!!! 🤯 DER 207/9 #Foxes🦊
I was going to post something smug like ‘out of office is on’ but I’ve just remembered I forgot to do that so just don’t email me for the next three weeks. I’m off to Australia to drink beer and watch rugby 🦁🦁🦁

It’s taken a lot longer than the fans will have liked, but Cifuentes looks like a smart appointment. Would expect similar style to Enzo Maresca, which we know the players loved. Less than four weeks til the new season though, he needs to get cracking straight away! #LCFC 🦊

After all the beef and the sledging, this is honestly the most beautiful way of winning this test match I could ever imagine. The accidental shithousery of it being so village is superb. What a sport!
ENGLAND HAVE WON THE THIRD TEST BY JUST 22 RUNS! 🤯 The ball rolls onto Mohammed Siraj's stumps off the bowling of Shoaib Bashir!
More evidence that Leicestershire is the sporting capital of the world… 19 year old Frazer Jones from Kirby Muxloe has qualified for The Open this weekend, beating Ryder Cup and LIV Golf players to do so ⛳️ Gets to play alongside his childhood hero Rory McIlroy. Incredible.

Big fan of the Argentina lad just playing on with no shirt on. Rugby. What a sport.
Say it quietly, but Owen Farrell’s looking good ain’t he 👀🦁 #Lions2025
For what it’s worth, if Marti Cifuentes is happening then I think it’s a decent appointment. But I won’t lie, I am slightly annoyed that my podcast title of ‘You Gotta Rohl With It’ won’t see the light of day. With the Oasis reunion going on that was an open goal. #LCFC 🦊
I’m actually raging they’ve declared there! Just go smack it around for a bit longer surely? Former Leicestershire man, by the way. Sporting capital of the world once again!
Wiaan Mulder was threatening to surpass Brian Lara's record of 400 not out, but the South Africa captain declared on himself 🤝 #ZIMvSA #BBCCricket
Today is 10 years since I left my old office job to have a go at a radio career, having been offered just 6 freelance shifts initially. Turns out it was the best decision I’ve ever made and now I’ve got my literal dream job I’ve wanted to do since I was a kid. I feel very lucky.




About time we got to play Leinster
🗳️ We have been drawn in Pool 3 for the 25/26 Investec Champions Cup alongside: ▪️Leinster Rugby ▪️Harlequins ▪️Stade Rochelais ▪️Aviron Bayonnais ▪️DHL Stormers
Leicestershire. Sporting capital of the world.
YES KATIE! 🎾🦊 Leicestershire's Katie Boulter has stunned the ninth seed Paula Badosa to reach the second round of Wimbledon. What a win from Woodhouse Eaves' finest!
Based on what I’ve seen on the telly, the Scissor Sisters have put on the best show at Glastonbury this year by an absolute mile. #Glastonbury2025
As many thought may happen, Ruud van Nistelrooy has gone. Whatever you made to his time at the club, the delays and timing of this decision has all felt a bit weird. The fans will be desperate to know there is somebody lined up to hit the ground running straight away. #LCFC 🦊
BREAKING: Leicester City have announced the departure of manager, Ruud van Nistelrooy with immediate effect.
