The life.

Imagining the vehicle being full Uncle Buck style, smoke billowing from the exhaust…

Is there a local/country footy community/hub/cult here on BlueSky? Footy here meaning the Aussie football.

Jake Bowtell @jakebowtell.bsky.social · May 8

The @themmqb.bsky.social is quickly becoming my favourite football podcast. Love the thoughtful, league-wide coverage from @conororr.bsky.social and @albert-breer.bsky.social, keeps me nicely up to date. Enjoy the occasional life/parenting chats too 😂 Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺

Watching cycling in black and white is now my preference... we started doing it in Milan Sanremo, and now every race gets this setting.

Alright... time for an insane Julian Alaphilippe win at Amstel Gold Race, please. Ta. Thanks.

At least Pucky won the podium beer sculling...

And I missed getting to see one of my favourite cyclocross riders, Alvarado, in the breakaway...

Jake Bowtell @jakebowtell.bsky.social · Apr 20

It's so annoying. Tuned in to hopefully watch a few hours... 37km to go.

Jake Bowtell @jakebowtell.bsky.social · Apr 20

So annoyed. Aussie coverage of Amstel didn't start until 37km to go - missed seeing Ceylin del Carmen Alvarado in the breakaway! Hope she got good TV time.

Finally got this old bike back up and going this morning...

Sneakers ruining the black and white effect.

Cult of personality comes to mind.

Haven't been on here in a while... here's a little pic I drew while watching Paris-Roubaix... #couchpeloton #cycling

Therapy, for a lot of them. :P

Jake Bowtell @jakebowtell.bsky.social · Mar 6

That’s funny, I was just looking at Horsham highlights today because they popped into my YouTube algorithm 😂

Jake Bowtell @jakebowtell.bsky.social · Mar 6

Became an Arsenal fan in about 2002 but fell out with them when they left Highbury (😂 I was, and still am, a romantic and thought they should have stayed in their old joint). Supported Luton Town for a few years. Like watching Celtic. Stumbled on Cymru Prem on YouTube and quite like Caernarfon Town.

Jake Bowtell @jakebowtell.bsky.social · Mar 6

Cheers mate! I’m an Aussie who has sort of stumbled into Welsh football fandom by chance so yeah, keen to connect with people who might like to chat about it! 😂

Jake Bowtell @jakebowtell.bsky.social · Mar 6

Seeking the Cymru Premier League BlueSky community… anyone out there I should be following? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 ⚽️

Jake Bowtell @jakebowtell.bsky.social · Feb 25

Also @alternativewales.bsky.social based on the fact I like their kit, I’m now a Caernarfon Town fan. Love the pod lads, hoping to follow from the start of the season next year.

Jake Bowtell @jakebowtell.bsky.social · Feb 25

Been getting back into football, finding podcasts a great way to stay up to date when I can’t watch (in Australia times/subscription can be prohibitive). 20 Min Tims for Celtic, @tomcanton.bsky.social’s The Gooner Talk for Arsenal, and recently found @alternativewales.bsky.social for Cymru Premier!

“Now kids, remember to leave some carrots out or the Easter Kangaroo won’t leave us the sound effect of boinging”

The coziness of tradition.

Jake Bowtell @jakebowtell.bsky.social · Feb 24

What will they bring me for Easter?

Jake Bowtell @jakebowtell.bsky.social · Feb 24

Must almost be March. A new Rangers manager…

Jake Bowtell @jakebowtell.bsky.social · Feb 20

Day out…

Jake Bowtell @jakebowtell.bsky.social · Feb 18

Depends for me! Some days it happens easily, other days I have to drag myself. I find it easier when I run with mates, but I recently doubled the distance I do and I ran it solo and I just used a podcast to keep my mind occupied. :)
