I went into the market in town earlier, and found an Elvis record called 'Wooden Leg'. I said to the guy, "I thought it was called Wooden Heart?" "You're correct, but this is a pirate copy." 🐢💨

For thousands of years, a solar eclipse has been a prophetic harbinger of a spectacular, epoch-making event. Just saying. #VoteBinface #Clacton
Ahead of tomorrow. My favourite political corruption story! This wonderful former Wakefield shop was at the centre of alleged political corruption worthy of the present day. In 1883, Albert Gosnay sent 24lbs of pork pies to a local polling station where the returning officer served it to

From mid-September I'll be joining Leeds United as club journalist. Match reports, news, interviews and features. Podcast too, ideally. Really excited. The club gets under your skin and it feels like a particularly good time to get involved. #lufc

Bill Oddie was a permanent fixture in my life as either a comedian, birdwatcher, musician, presenter or formerly bank manager dressing as a schoolboy to join a drama school. And he was great at all of them. A very sad day indeed. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bdqz...

Remember Boavista? The club in Portugal with a long history & big fan base where Reggie Cannon left to and then didn't get paid? The 120+ year club has been ordered to cease operations by 7/31. A thread of how it happened: 2001: The club wins it's first title, breaking a 55-year run of big 3.
What happened The technique is called piezosynthesis : it takes advantage of piezoelectric materials that generate electric charges when mechanically deformed, and directs those charges to drive redox chemical reactions directly on water and oxygen.

So in today/tonight's FIFA World Cup final. FIFA are breaking they're own rules by holding a half hour long half time show just to apease the Americans. The United States should be barred from holding any more World Cup finals.
Remember to scream loudly out of the window at random moments to keep your iPlayer-watching neighbours on their toes.
Ok maybe England should get to the final only because we can trust their fans to boo the fuck out of the half time show the Yanks are insisting on
Never forget the time Ken Bates called me on my mobile to rant about a tweet I had put online complaining about his ownership. Man was mental. Found tweets mentioning his name, looked me up on club database and called me on my mobile. Threatened to report me to the SRA, fragile thin skinned prick.
Ken Bates' programme notes when he questioned whether disabled supporters were faking it to gain cheap entry to Elland Road sums up the bloke. He was a twat. I love #lufc but wouldn't amputate my legs for a better view.
Jarell Quansah has his red card ban extended to two matches. FIFA will consider an appeal, if the England defender can prove he’s either American or Argentinian or a brown envelope stuffed with cash
