I'll only believe in the 'Birmingham Phoenix' if Kenny Dalglish Snr is on the card at 7. 'Yeah I was on the Dambusters with Keith Miller then got a double ton at Lords the day after'

Sing Hosanna, the jazz snobs are all going home.
Waiting to send a parcel just now and the old chap in front was getting four Holsten Pils! Didn't think I'd walked to 1993, but Staple Hill is as Staple Hill does.

'Probably the darkest period in FIFA's 122 year history' some NYT mush on BBC just now. Not when Sir Stanley Rous fought the case for apartheid South Africa, then?
Tremendous pub. Big up the Harlequin! (Saying that in that Stone Roses voice, you knew that)
Happy 2nd Birthday Harlequin!! Two years ago we re-opened this pub that had been neglected for years by a well known online terf. Now it is a place of love and community (and also great beer and chip butties!!). Two Flints plus Two by Two tap Takeover, and a house band on today as we celebrate 🥳

Bags left at digs, having a last morning wander. Chanced on a lovely pool/spa, sadly can't hire stuff. The Men in Rented Trunks wouldn't stand for this, @harrymcnally.bsky.social <chucks chair at reception desk>
I met Ken Bates once. Neither down to earth nor funny. Gave me something of a ticking off in fact!
Still can't really believe Tan Rewind Province didn't make it to the World Cup.
This organisation is riddled with criminals, right from the top. And yes, all these stories come from local news outlets.
Ben Cullen, a leading figure of the "Raise the Colours" campaign, will stand trial for three separate charges regarding a total of 78 indecent images of children. I have only seen this covered in local newspapers, so far. Grim as it is, it needs wider coverage www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/2624087...
Matterface prepares to deliver his next cultural Japanese zinger.
@gidcoe.bsky.social's annual cycling themed show is always fun, excellent start here
