Got my Northern Lights @icelandcricket.bsky.social top after the duly appointed wait. s66sportswear have produced a tidy bit of kit on their behalf.

Film idea: disgraced man wants his titles back. The only way is if he climbs from eighth in the succession to king. Then 1 to 7 start mysteriously dying…

This. 1975 was magic because I was seven. Even in the direst times, kids in general will be kids In general without the incipient worries of adulthood. I was living in a derelict-when-built tower block that lived a decade only. Start there.
Absolute nonsense. Anyone who lived through the period, or who has studied the period, will know how daft, how dangerously silly, this kind of rot is. If I may, I was there. It was FAR more grey, tough, poor, bigoted, boring, terrifying, violent & frequently flat-out insane than nostalgia insists.

Seems the Nazi billionaire has suspended me from the Firework Fund Site.

I assume it’s because of my railing against the open corruption of Nazi America. Ah well.

I should come back here more often just to see what @luiseach.bsky.social and @soozuk.bsky.social are up to. The Nazi Billionaire Firework Fund site has a few redoubtables still batting against the tide of twats, but the twats are strangling the life out of it. I read for fun and wit.

Pretty confident a child actor whose successful career has continued in the arts to her mid-30s doesn’t need randoms on the net to give her attention should she want it.

Someone is begging attention. It’s not her
One of my favorite things to be accused of is doing stuff “for attention”

Bro, I’ve got a naturally 85 decibel speaking voice, and huge naturals. I’ve never had to beg for attention.

Just had a shave. Feel very old. Old man dewlap and have cut away a whole badger.

It’s utterly bizarre that people will piss their pants over a brown face in an advert as “unrepresentative” but will gladly take financial guidance from a talking Russian meerkat because of course they’re fucking everywhere.

No Bumrah for India. You could see from his batting stance he was struggling. Shame, this series has had some proper top class bowling shows from all comers.

I am strongly of the opinion that when Trump starts doing that dance of his, he is indicating he is shitting himself. Everyone around him might not look at him but a few seconds in, almost without fail, their faces register the pen and ink and they move away

I’d like to add my shoulder to the wheel that states that Jasprit Bumrah is an absolute unit. He has been unreal tonight - practically impossible to play at times and so consistent with it

I’m going to stick my neck out on the footy and say it.

That win over City will keep United up.

As for the Etihad today, two points dropped. Dyche is fuming.

This was on earlier. I like how the medics at the end either show their absolute lack of grasp of physics or volunteer for human skittles

Little linguistic flight of fancy there - the Spanish word “manicomio” has to me always sounded better than the English “madhouse” or “asylum”. It just sounds more lyrical, more vibrant, more ‘real’.

As for lyrical, “unfortunately” in Spanish for me is eight magical syllables - “desafortunadamente”

There is no sport like football for dick-waving, is there? Tedious miseries who never left the playground who are determined to try and put you in a catsuit and mount you.

Other sports, rivalries exist. Football has pricks slavering for a fight, any fight. No filter, just dick-waving abuse.

Just saw David Gower ready to ring the bell at Christchurch and the angle was unflattering, thought he looked old. Then I rolled back. I’m not 11 any more watching him knock 200 off India. He’s nominally a pensioner. He looks great, just not the “young” face of old.

Jasprit Bumrah is an absolute unit. His head game is next tier at the minute. And his name scans perfectly for “Where’s Your Head At?”
