Vinny doing the reading while I slurp the vino. Just how I like it.

Looking forward to attending this tribute on Saturday.

RIP Micky
Thanks to our match sponsors on Saturday - I Could Agree With You, But Then We’d Both Be Wrong.

We will be remembering Micky Science, who tragically lost his life in an accident in the summer.

Micky was a friend to many here and part of the #MenaceFamily.

We had that @vincerai.bsky.social in the Shirker's other day.
I'm a landlord of a pub. Have spun a story that a major literary figure used to drink at my inn back in the 1700s. Completely untrue, but tourists love to visit the pub and sit in his 'seat'. All bollocks, but it's great for business.

I don't know what they are but this is precisely why we needed Brexit.

Why on earth are we sending them abroad? English mussels for the English.
