"This could be Rotterdam or anywhere, Liverpool or Rome, 'cause Rotterdam is anywhere, anywhere alone..." 🇾🇪 #mufc 🚙 #vanlife 🏃🏻 #running 🇬🇮 #Gibraltar
Our Christmas #jigsaw of #Gibraltar gasworks c.1900 has kept us busy since Boxing Day, and has probably started a family tradition going forward, felt like finishing a marathon as we slotted the final piece in 🧩
This quote is from a @sethgodin.bsky.social email about LLMs, but it strikes me it has a much broader resonance in a fast-changing world: | 'Made up stories that we invent to deal with our fear often make it worse. They distract us from the hard work of understanding what’s actually happening.'
#Uber just sent me this out of the blue, no idea what it's about but seeing as it's from a 'no reply' email address, I'm going to take this opportunity to reply to them here instead... Go f___ yourselves! Thank you for your understanding, Uber.

The BBC is apologising for its Panorama edit. It shouldn’t. First, the narrative is true: Donald Trump *did* incite the Capitol riot. Second, the apology won’t appease those attacking it. So why not at least stand for something? Wrote this on it earlier this week: inews.co.uk/news/world/b...
I love Jonathan Liew's piece in @theguardian.com today about the whole #ManUtd circus - it speaks to me and the man has a cracking turn of phrase. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Diane Abbott: “There must be a difference between racism which is about colour and other types of racism because you can see a Traveller or a Jewish person walking down the street, you don’t know.“ Don't understand why she's not allowed to say this?

People think money has ruined football but the sight of a rapist dictator standing next to a corrupt football official in front of a big gold trophy at a competition bankrolled by Saudi Arabia reminds me the game still belongs to us.
Here's a Strava map you won't see every day, a 5k charity race on the Gibraltar runway yesterday - it was amazing fun #gibraltar #running
The sunset this evening across Spain from #Gibraltar, on a potentially momentous evening for the future of “The Rock” as political agreement is reached on a treaty to stabilise border, trade and other arrangements long-term after the 9 years of madness that Brexit imposed on the territory.

Getting closer to the dream of a sub-3 marathon, not helped today by cruel headwinds for last few miles 😬💨💨🍃🌧️ #running
I live in Gibraltar. Spain, the “greenhouse of Europe”, is a stone’s throw away. I just bought some garlic at the supermarket. Noticed it was sprouted, old and just not very good and checked the label only to find it’s come from China. In what world is this even sane?
I love a good song title-based play on words in a headline and this is a good one. Congratulations to @theguardian.com for this one this morning. #massiveattack
“As Ani DiFranco points out, rock musicians take themselves very seriously but don’t care so much about the rest of the world. Folk singers do the opposite.” - nice point made by Seth Godin today seths.blog/2025/05/seri...

My first DJ outing in years, spinning 7”s on my new portable deck set up, as a rehearsal for DJing at a retro festival, Back To The Classics, in #Gibraltar this summer. Was good to back, you never lose the love! ❤️
The new spinning thumb when you click kudos on iOS #Strava app is a bit OTT! #running #1stworldproblems
Just watched our team Bruno’s Magpies win the #Gibraltar Rock Cup (it’s our FA Cup)… packed stands, lots of singing, 96th minute wonder goal and… what a view!
@tristanmarshall.bsky.social I enjoyed your adjudication of the #Gibraltar festival. It might make you smile with your focus on getting pauses right in dialogue, that I once saw Bob Geldof perform “I Don’t Like Mondays” where he paused for 90 secs at the dramatic “how to die!” towards the end!
