You wait 40 years for a trophy and three come along at once

Congrats to Hull KR on winning the grand final today. Best team all year and deserved winners. Well done Willie Peters, Mikey Lewis and the team.

I recently got a copy of the programme from the 1990 England Australia Wembley test and there is a page on the 1963 meeting. Don't linger too long on the scores but gate receipts of £6K.

You see that's the sort of thing I notice.

Hope the pic comes out OK

And finally our trip takes to the Hotel Washington Golden Tulip via a couple of trains and 5 minute walk. And that is all for tonight

Next, we are sat in the Eurostar terminal at St Pancras waiting fir the train to Paris.

A bit of a blast from the past. A stamp in the passport

4 days in England now we are heading to Paris.

After hot weather it's back to a tepid English summer's day. Let's hope Paris is a bit warmer.

And it's like being at school with a packed lunch in my bag. Banana and egg sandwiches natch.

And a shout out to @rhodadakar.bsky.social and Afrodiziak for one of the most memorable intros of all time.

Thanks. Got it now. I mistook the Web player for the Sounds app

Tim Lloyd @oldcoastroad.bsky.social · Jul 11

Got to say I am no further forward after listening. EG. If I click on the link in this post, I am forwarded to Sounds. I didn't really get what happens next. Does it just play? Do I go to the BBC app?

I guess we will find out in 10 days

Lighting striking twice on #totp in 1985

First the magnificent Kirsty McCall doing Billiam Bragg's New England. But who is adding the oohs eeehs? Looks like the Mint Juleps to me.

And next up Howard Jones with an Afrodiziak

I may have said this before, but...have the Go-Betweens ever made a bad song? I don't think so.

BTW. If you haven't already, this is a good read.

This is indeed a joy to watch. I like the bit where David and Jack bond over a roof rack (or is my memory failing me)

Did anyone else cry during Twin Peaks 2017 when they ended a show with a clip of Jack RIP?

Congratulations to @albomp.bsky.social on a crushing and well-deserved election victory.

The vitriol of the extreme right has been rejected. Here's hoping for 3 more years of sensible policies and bridge building.
