The 80s. When throwing bananas at John Barnes and other black players was just light hearted banter.

Most people in this country were fans of the Queen rather than the Royal Family. Now she’s gone, they just seem redundant.

A little like Brian May and Roger Taylor carrying on with Queen after Freddie Mercury passed away.

Yesterday evenings run along the canal. First time over had to stop and wait for a level crossing too.

I know Rotherham didn’t really enjoy their brief stay there

Anyone with an interest in football and/or architecture, particularly those old enough to remember Italia 90, will be praying they don’t replace this masterpiece with an identikit mass produced stadium.

Breathtaking San Siro faces end as Inter and Milan try to keep up with modern game

Clubs’ plan to open new ground in 2031 has been met by local opposition but is required for hosts to stay competitive

I seem to remember this being suggested when they first built the Don Valley Stadium. The reaction was exactly as you’d expect!

Next you’ll be telling me that Electra, 23 from High Wycombe doesn’t work in her local library

“Do you have any history of mental illness in your family?”
“Yeah… my uncle wakes up at 5am to go running.” 🏃‍♂️☕

We all know that one person who treats sunrise runs like a religion.

But here’s the twist the “crazy ones” are usually the ones who feel the best, stay consistent, and crush their goals

I estimate 80% of the calls I make are to my wife’s phone after she’s lost it 😂

Morning run in beautiful crisp autumn sunshine.

And the Philadelphia on the map isn’t the one in Pennsylvania, didn’t run that far!

He looks my old maths teacher, Mr Harrison.

The key difference is that Mr Harrison was good at maths.

I enjoyed the series but it fell down badly at the end. A song and dance number with a tender tribute from his mother?!?!

Thanks very much; I was wondering why there was a donation in Euros! 😂

Mrs Silent has always been 100% Labour, but now describes herself as politically homeless.

Willing to bet there’s plenty more like her

Gorgeous run into the countryside and back this morning.

Second pic shows Venus above the pylons (not the best photo, she was a lot brighter in real life).

I just know it undermines their argument that they don’t have a problem with immigrants, only with illegal immigrants.

It’s just plain old xenophobia

Think they’re just trying (and failing) to avoid being known as nothing more than the stop the boats party.

No one ever ask if they ever they get in and stop the boats, what next?

I remember listening to the commentary on the radio and knowing it was one for the ages!

The K is Silent @leaveitnigel.bsky.social · 28d

Not sure why they’ve gone down this road. Most reasonable people are OK with immigrants who come in legally and work, it’s the illegal ones who need looking at.

Only the cult followers will support the idea of turfing out people who’ve lived here years and worked, raised families, etc.

Be great if that could happen; firstly to give hope that teams aren’t just going up to get hammered every week and go straight back down, but also to clear some of the dead wood teams like West Ham and Wolves 😉
