A win for the men puts them top and the ladies progress in the FA Cup. A night with Sarce is up for grabs and an afternoon on the Leisure Peninsula beckons. All this plus pods, tunes and waffle in the Stockport County blog from @scarfbergarawore.bsky.social :

If my football club announced ticket sales on here instead of the other place, I'd cut ties with it like a shot. Until then, I'm on both.

I can't see how a change of figurehead would help when they're stuck between limited growth and their vow not to raise taxes.

It's instructive to compare the reaction to this news here and on Twitter. I'd normally go on a blocking spree over there but there's just so many abusive fash replying that I haven't the time or patience.

I listened to the latest episode of @thetrawl.bsky.social while walking the dog round my bit of Stockport tonight but didn't see that cat up a tree anywhere. Just thought I'd put Jemma's mind at rest 😉

In the same way that "synergy" always means "half of you are getting made redundant," talk of "efficiencies" and "reforms" always comes down to cuts.

It's a pity his adherents either believe him or don't care.

One of the wise sayings I remember from "England's Glory" matchboxes is "Repartee is what you wish you'd said."

It's a joy, isn't it? I made the mistake of defending the RNLI on there yesterday and got this response:
