Well done England, and commiserations to Brazil. The results were the opposite to what I expected. So, Norway next. Onwards.
I am relieved not to be in England tonight. Thanks to the 2 hour time difference and a talk at 9:00 am tomorrow, I certainly can't watch the game either. But good luck England! It won't be easy, but I am keeping the faith!
I am in Timisoara, Romania for a conference. My first visit to this country!
A sad day. Keir is a decent guy, doing a difficult job well. He's been hounded out by the media, and that opportunist Burnham is making the most of it.
This is surely a step too far? BBC News - www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c7... Under-16s to be banned from social media, Starmer announces - BBC News

Watching Canada vs Bosnia Herzegovina. Exciting stuff. This is what the World Cup is about!
@rogerprotz.bsky.social Hi Roger, I have emailed the photos from the Vine. Hopefully they arrived OK and open OK!

@rogerprotz.bsky.social Roger, did you see the photos I posted of our presentations at the Vine, Pittshill and the Golden Cup, Hanley, earlier this month? If not, I'll send them!
I definitely and wholeheartedly support this. We need to get the GBBF back. Maybe slimmed down, and choice of location is important. It must be centrally located so as to get passing trade as well as the regular attendees.
Roger Protz@rogerprotz.bsky.social · 4mo agoDebate: Revival of @camraofficial.bsky.social #GreatBritishBeerFestival in right location. Losses: GBBF, annual national celebration of British brewing industry, attracting celebrities, politicians. National attention for cask ale, coverage TV, radio & press. Major focus for #ChampionBeerofBritain
Sadly my motion was lost. Let's hope the review next year will find a way to a slimmed down GBBF, showcase for Cask, campaigning tool for CAMRA. The packed glory days of Olympia, rebuilt & unsuitable, & Earls Court, now housing, are over.
Roger Protz@rogerprotz.bsky.social · 4mo agoLooking forward to lively debates & seeing friends old & new @camraofficial.bsky.social AGM Members Weekend today, here in my home town of St Albans where CAMRA started. I'm moving a motion to restore GBBF asap.
It's the CAMRA Members Weekend in St Albans. CAMRA needs to have a presence here! @rogerprotz.bsky.social is doing a great job, and my branch @camrapotteries.bsky.social is there. Time to ditch X and come to where the sky is blue.
I have set up an account for the CAMRA Potteries branch, so please give them a follow if interested! @camrapotteries.bsky.social. #BeerSky
A great day yesterday visiting some of our Heritage Pubs, including the Vine @ Pittshill, 2025 CAMRA Heritage Award winner. We also visited the Golden Cup, the Unicorn & the Coachmakers Arms, all in Hanley. Thanks @jmarkdodds.bsky.social for presenting, and good to see @6townsmart.bsky.social there.
