Anyway, personal decision but I wouldn’t want to have looked back after 1945 and known that in the 1930s I still subscribed to a publication owned by a leading Nazi and being on X now is the modern equivalent.
Tiny gesture, will make zero difference in the grand scheme of things I know. But still.

Heartened but still a little surprised by the UK.
However that was 2015….I wonder if the intervening decade has emboldened certain people to answer this differently?

@chrisjackis.bsky.social @davidjcjack11.bsky.social Hello both. Hope you remember me from Twitter? Over in UK for a holiday and on an away day talking to a bloke who’s doing a book about the original 1906 squad and manager. He has no leads for Bob and wondered if you’d be happy to maybe talk to him?

Either I was sat opposite @tim-burgess.bsky.social on the Elizabeth Line earlier or he has a very close doppelgänger in London. If it was you Tim I would have said how much your music means to me but you looked like you were in the zone with headphones on so decided to leave you be.

If a lunatic neo-Nazi took over as landlord of my favourite local pub and all his nutjob mates started drinking in there and spouting their crap in my face - I’d stop drinking in there and go somewhere else instead.

For all those ‘big club’ fans who moan about the international break - there is NO club football which can match this Scotland match or the Ireland game earlier in the week. It just hits differently.

I know Scotland fans probably don’t want my support as an Englishman. But largely because of my Scottish mates I’m invested and this is painful right now.

How good is Celebrity Traitors?
Ordinarily don’t do any kind of reality TV but love normal Traitors and think the celebrity version is even better.
I’m hooked.

Pure snobbery. Now - I have bookcases, my kids have bookcases.
But I was lucky as a working class kid in a time when there was still a functioning school library and local public libraries to give me a love of books that I could pass on. And fortunate enough that we can afford books now.
