Giacomo@gos75.bsky.social · 17h ago50 years since U2’s first rehearsal. I’ve always felt that the quality of their output has meant we’ve not given them credit for their longevity. No breakups, no reunions. And I love Bono, but to put up with him for half a century is one helluva credit for Edge, Adam and ultimate rockstar, Larry.

A quarter of a mile from my front door. Hopefully that doesn’t make me a NIMBY.
Chris Packham@chrisgpackham.bsky.social · last wk.Weston Big Wood is irreplaceable ancient woodland & a protected SSSI . Yet plans could see around 500 homes built on Tower Farm and Black Rock , enclosing it on both sides . We should be protecting places like this , not building right up to their edges . c.org/8bV8Vy5Gm6
Half-time flutter. Had I been serious about it, I wouldn’t have just stuck 50p on it. Still… those odds have dropped from 100/1 to 7/1…
I’d need time to figure out the other ten, but Djed Spence would be my first name on the Team of the Tournament.
Nice goal, Declan. Now let’s take off Toney and Rashford, bring on a couple of defenders and let Mbappé have a go for 85’. What could possibly go wrong?
No way was this a random system choice… …indeed, when pondering options, “current affairs” steered me in the right direction… …doubt I’d have got it in one otherwise. #worldle 😁
Can someone please explain to the Norwegians that the ball never touched any cable? It was the hand of God. And no sensor can detect that.
It might be the #hydrationbreak in Infantino’s book. It’s the #dishwasheremptyingbreak for me.
If helium were a banned substance, Kane’d be getting tested right now…
With every match, FC Barcelona’s £69m signing off Gordon before the World Cup seems an increasingly smart piece of business…
I believe the expression is @a good game for the neutrals”… #mexeng
I’ll be surprised if there will be 22 players on the pitch at the end of this match…

Not a great finish by Endrick. But Nyland’s role in forcing it shouldn’t be underestimated.
Sander Berge looks just as comfortable against Brazil as he did in The Championship with us. If anything, more so. Just like the Premier League suited him better. Another ex-Blade shining in America.
Walked into the kitchen with a cereal bar. Announced: “Best before March 21st.” Mrs S and Littl’Un tut. I add: “2023”. Gasps. Feel free to check on me in a few days’ time. 😉
With the weather we’ve had, #Wimbledon can’t be behind on schedule. As someone who’s had to get home (outside Bristol) from SW19 after a cracking day there in the noughties, I can’t fathom why they’re playing at this time. Suits me on my sofa, but for the fans out there… 🤷🏻♂️
Just heard Jenrick state The Times is pro-Labour. How far to the right do you have to be for The Times to be on your left?
I know Soutter was good for us, but he’s starting to look world-class here…
Rossi ‘82. Lineker ‘86. Schillaci ‘90. Six goals won you the Golden Boot. Probably since then too, but that would require research, whereas I can remember most of those three. Meanwhile, in 2026, after four (or, for some, three) matches…
