Warrington to Streatham via Sydney. Father to girls. All things Rovers, Wire, Quins, Surrey, TeamGB & England. BBC, Channel 4, Sky, Snapchat then Duolingo.
The best TV shows from 2024. Slow Horses, Colin From Accounts, Inside No9, The Grand Tour, Rivals, Mr Bate’s vs The Post Office, The Bear, Sadly this was another year with no stand out, laugh out loud, sitcom. Thoughts?
"This is why people lose faith in the press." People risk being "disenfranchised" when the media focuses solely on the "ugly fringes" that disrupt peaceful protests, says communications consultant Liam Deacon.
Last minute trip to @StBartholomews to hear @WalkerMarcus interview @BijanOmrani about his new book 'God is an Englishman' on how Christianity shaped England. @holland_tom you got a mention along with Donoghue v Stevenson! You can hear @holysmoke interview Bijan on this…

Our MP has been busying PR'ing a survey to "bring the Overground" to Streatham. It's a well worn tactic to get your data. Hype project you know will not happen. I fell for it with Chuka Umunna. Don't you be misled. Streatham and Lambeth need practical, deliverable transport…
@ChukaUmunna I applaud you're actions RE Bakerloo line. @cllrstevereed said the Victoria line was impossible to extend. S Common needs tube
it looks like Keniworth Road!
We moved house in December and I finally have a Subbuteo room in the house !!! Just a little update with some new additions
16- A heartfelt thank you from Ozzy Osbourne for all those incredible years. It is our duty to thank you legend. You contributed a lot to this eternal stage of music. Thank you. @OzzyOsbourne @tonyiommi @BlackSabbath
I would have LOVED to have been here! 🤘🎸🤨
6- Pantera performed Walk and set the stadium on fire with incredible energy.
I wish I had someone that loved me like that. My daughter won’t even give me a handshake. 👻
Incredible interactions between humans & animals. ~A Thread 🧵 1. Chimp’s heartfelt reaction on seeing the careraker who rescued him years ago💕
Well said. If we as fans got behind the lads 100% like they do on the pitch we’d all enjoy it more. The atmosphere at Stoke Cardiff & Boro last season definitely affected the players on the pitch & majority of fans want to support the lads & the hard working employees of the club
The fans need to start turning up and filling the stadium, it’s all good moaning about the owners but we are not getting promoted with an average attendance of 13k and the place being a library, tickets are one of the cheapest in the league, great value, no more excuses. #rovers
I mean it’s not even a discussion. Blackburn Rovers. 💙🤍
Which one of those four is the 𝘽𝙄𝙂𝙂𝙀𝙎𝙏 club in Lancashire…?! 🤩
Gutted to miss this tonight!
The @VitalityBlast is unmatched! 🚀 What drama! 🎭 🩵 | #SurreyCricket
This is fantastic news. As a league fan there are players you know about who played well before your time. The now Sir Billy Boston. He may be a pie eater but I’m still so very pleased for him. 🍒⚪️🏉
🫡 Arise Sir Billy Boston! 👏 Officially Rugby League's first Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire...
I think that’s my record. I solved the 6/12/2025 New York Times Mini Crossword in 0:36! nytimes.com/crosswords/gam…
Yes, I was doing my Wordle at 3am. What of it? And yes, I'm still buzzing from it. My usual starter is moist or adieu but went rogue this time and smashed it. Now, despite the ecstasy, I think my Wordle journey is over! What can i do to replace it?
Completed it. Bosh… Wordle 1,447 1/6 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
