Family. Music. Books. Wine. Sport. Laughs. Especially laughs. Tinfoil hat billionaire. (I owe it all to the internet). If there is a chance to follow music and films I'm taking it.
My biggest trivial regret in life? Sitting in the TV room at uni watching TOTP (packed room) when The Undertones played Teenage Kicks for the first time. Voice from the back: "That's a load of shite" Me (regrettably only internally): Not only is it brilliant, but you'll be hearing it years from now.
Not the best start to my Bluesky day. Time for coffee and a hob nob.
Testify! I ran out of gas myself in my 30s. Been coasting ever since.

Just been listening to Paul Sinha's Perfect Pub Quiz (always a joy, always fascinating). Far and away the best and most infuriating fact he produced in all of his series was at the end of his show tonight concerning Jocelyn Bell Burnell - see this link. Just awful. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jocelyn...

Bezos's stake in #LFC is rightly upsetting a lot of the club's fans, but look on the bright side and think of all the money you will have for quality transfers next season when the club only pays £1.00 tax.
Remembering David Crosby on what would have been his 85th. Still greavsing.
I've been invited to take part in a game of hide and seek today and I need some advice from the Bluesky experts. Should I hide: a) in a fridge b) inside an airplane catering truck c) behind a bin I want to win. The people want me to win. So you can all play a part in my great victory. Send money.
Now that the joke by-election is over the media of this country has an important decision to make. Does it continue to ease Farage's passage into No.10 or will it finally start looking at this man and his "party" as a serious threat to UK security and do some actual journalism.
Just noticed that STV (that's SCOTTISH television) is right now showing a pre-season friendly (FRIENDLY) between Manchester United and Leeds United. A mean, come tae fvck!
If the definition of an eclipse is big black clouds travelling across the sun bringing darkness and rain to the planet then, for Scotland, it is a once in a daytime experience.
If raining, the solar eclipse will be held in the main hall of the community centre.

From now on, all trophies won by #LFC will be delivered to the Hill Dickinson stadium with a note.
Listening to this week's Desert Island Discs and the castaway (won't say who) sounds like a walking talking LinkedIn post, including getting up at 5am and solving problems all day. One of the songs chosen was Karen White (me neither) singing a song called Superwoman. Spoiling my second can of lager.
The International Volleyball Federation has allowed russian teams to participate in international competitions again. The Men's World Championship 2027 will be held in Poland. The Poles announced that the FIVB decision is of no concern to them, that they will not grant visas to russians.

It's 50C all over the world. All the water has gone. The shark is marooned in turds and no-one goes near the beach. FIN.

OK, I'm going to have to quit Bluesky for a few hours as I need to spend the rest of the day reading all of the reports on the Greater Manchester Mayoral by-election that are littering the media today.
EUFA are committing Infantinocide in full public view and the world is cheering on. Strange times. Good times.
Call me naive and detached from reality if you wish, but I have no idea what Nectar points are. Am I wrong not to care?
My sarky (attempt at humour) response to a post about sarcasm went well I see. Memo to self - label all future posts to avoid misunderstandings.
