"The only pitch in the GDR that had a manhole cover..." Niche. Superb! There must be a PhD in this somewhere.

Yeah, but you're in Germany. The train here might, or might not, be punctual, but either way you're in the UK. (I know that's not the point of the article). And, let's also rejoice in the fact that a fragile German rail service gives us the absolute joy of @bahnansagen.bsky.social. 🌞

I think your lovely supermarket must be being run by a BBC exec. Or maybe the BBC is being run by a Melbourne supermarket mogul. Crackers.

To be honest, I'd leave it. Traditionally, a dodgy surface, often somewhat curated by the home side, is a great leveller when drawn against superior opposition in cup games. I suspect method here, and it's hard to prove against the wild boar defence.

Wow. In my head I'm trying to work out where that was taken from...

Outstanding. And I like a place with beer crates stacked high. Germany knows how to do Christmas.

Sorry. Bit art house, but just wanted to join in on a great thread. An erect PRS and (unfashionable) GT5 guitar effects processor. I bloody love my PRS.

Very atmospheric photos. What a beautiful place. I guess life does get more complicated over time, but you'll always have the memories and the fresh powder. I'm looking forward to the season. 🏂

Bloody like the look and sound of this. I'm not reading enough new poetry. Over time this fact becomes a true limiter: on understanding and expression. Thanks for another pointer. 🌞

"Living in fear of what hasn't come yet". Telling. Plaintive. No one is going to say to me this band couldn't touch a nerve.

Well played. I'd have tried for a signed guitar. You never know. Gaz can't play them all, surely. 🌞

I was thinking how hard it must have been to break that 13 year sequence. It's such an emotional investment. Brilliant way to cap it off, though. Perfect.

What an atmospheric photo; and somewhat pointillist. Beautiful.

How? Easy. In exactly the same way as Trump, backed by large dark money resources, "drained the swamp". All of which is to say Trump didn't and Farage won't.

Fab. place. Walked past it yesterday - quite deliberately. I just might have come away with a first ed. "The End of the Affair", and a £2500 hole in my bank account. Go careful. Safe home.

Looks like it might be "no entry".
