Are there English people in Brussels who are a regular/a semi-regular/once drunk at The Churchill in the centre of town? Looking to interview for a thing...
#COYSky Transfer update! After a long wait, I have now transferred to Hellenic Spurs Supporters Club! 10 AM games now replaced with 5PM.
More on the loan of Mikey Moore to FC Köln. He will be part of a very young team, with them having signed Reigan Heskey (18), Martin James from PSG (18), Jahmai Simpson-Pusey from Man City (20) Gil Neves from Benfica (18) and Australian Paul Okon-Enstler (21), so a good cadre of young players. #COYS
Gotta say I find it it a bit rich that we are listening to Dean Saunders (here saying Romero is one of the worst captains in the history of the PL) Dean Saunders as a manager: Wrexham: Almost promoted Doncaster: Relegated Wolves: Relegated Crawley: Relegated Chesterfield: Fired in 16th place #COYS
We have my books and her books. Amongst my books, I gave some themes, and then the several I own written by friends in their own category (like @akrennmair.bsky.social or @thirstypilgrim.bsky.social )
Immigrant Punk@porcupunk.eurosky.social · 3w agoEnough of the horrors and doom scrolling. Let's talk about something fun. How do you arrange your books?
I for one cannot wait to see how Sam Mendes imagines Kubla Khan's stately pleasure dome to say nothing of that deep romantic chasm which slanted down the green Hill athwart a cedarn cover
Jesse Hawken@jessehawken.bsky.social · 3w agoStudio execs are going to want to adapt more poems for the big screen now
Canadians don't want to buy it now on principle *and* every day that goes by is another day Canadians create routines around non-US products and realize hey, pretty much the same in the end.
A rare chance to use the word Jökulhlaup. (But also hope it doesn't do too much damage)
Jeremy Valeriote@jervaler.bsky.social · last mo.Flood waters from Place Glacier are now moving downstream through Place Creek. High flows are expected for the next 1-2 days. The Evacuation Order remains in effect for affected properties in the Gates Lake and Poole Creek area. The latest: www.slrd.bc.ca/inside-slrd/... #pembertonbc
Will this prevent Argentina from playing the free-floating football we have seen so far?
Canada not doing basic forest maintenance... Ontario's boreal forest alone is larger than the entire state of California!
Kris S@mplsme.bsky.social · last mo.Trump to increase tariffs on Canada due to wildfires. Yet his admin CUT USFS firefighting workforce by 1000s, while also reducing preventative operations. Fires in northern MN started by lightning have since spread to Canada. Canada has sent firefighting crews to help battle the fires in the U.S.
Northern Ontario is burning. Today, I’m calling for immediate action: ✅ Declare a provincial state of emergency ✅ Remove barriers between jurisdictions so emergency assistance can be provided quickly ✅ Show up: house every evacuee, resource every fire crew, and rebuild every affected community
The 6 defender strategy was an interesting one. Hey defending World and Copa America Champions, how would you like unlimited pissession
Extremely Canada Skeet: after seeing that Poulet Rouge ad roughly 200 times are you more or less likely to go there? I am on much less likely.

In 2019, the Gokd-medal winning Fiji men's rugby team came to do a session with my German clubs kids. I reffed a game with all of our U-14s and 2 Fijians aside. At one point, one of the Fijians complained I didn't call offside. Against a 13 yo! But when I explained (no ruck formed) he was all sorry!
Paul Harvey@paulharvey.theoutfield.nyc · last mo.There’s two successful athlete mindsets: “I Want To Beat You In This Game Of UNO As Much As I’ve Ever Wanted Anything” or “This Is The Most Important Game Of Your Life But To Me It’s Just Tuesday” and without having one of them you just can’t live at that altitude
OMG #COYSky! Jonathan Liew doesn't approve of what Spurs are doing! Shocked! Fernandes is too young and unproven, Tonali too old (26?) and expensive, Van Hecke too expensive and the free transfers too much in wages. Why can't he just admit he hates Spurs?
If he isn't cosplaying Mayor of Toronto, he is pretending to be PM. Hey Premier, can you look at the Ontario doctor shortage hallway medicine, spiking unemployment, education standards cratering? Do you not have enough on your plate?
TinkieGurl 🇨🇦 #ForeverCanadian@tinkiegurl.bsky.social · last mo."Ford said the Ontario government could be the owner of the pipeline and foot the bill for construction, if needed." www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
I feel that point 3 carried the day here
Chris Begley@chris-begley.bsky.social · last mo.I personally see three dimensions: 1 - Whose sub is better 2 - Whose economic package is better 3 - How much pressure is the EU putting on with regard to including Canada in future defence procurement (and are our deals with Saab enough to mitigate?)
Wow, Cathal Kelly denigrating the #CanMNT. Real shocker there. www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/socce...
Ottawa Canada Day storm update. THREE trees struck by lightning across the street
If I am Jesse Marsch, I am using Owen Goodman (3rd GK) to get every outfield player 15 or 20 spot kicks in training #CanMNT
