Happy Onam! At Herb in Leicester.

Great thoughtful read by my old friend, wonder if he’ll meet me in London for a drink and be amazed how old I’ve become? Hoping @ianleslie.bsky.social www.ian-leslie.com/p/27-notes-o...

What’s really irritating me in this #ENGGER match is the commentators. It’s ‘Nay-bell not Nee-bell’.. sad that German isn’t taught any more …

In’t weather brilliant?

Going home on a train from London after 8pm can be fun.. tonight a large chap sat next to me and wolfed down a KFC bargain bucket in a noisy fashion. Stinky food on a busy train is bad enough. Maybe he was one of my enemies knowing how it would wind me up.

Seems like bad news coming in every day now-what mr trump is up to, how-awful-Brexit-is constant reminders,etc-I remind myself I’m really lucky to live in a wonderfully diverse country where I can have this lovely curry and really garlicky-nan tonight. Made me forget (and sweat) for a little while.

Found this in the post-Xmas clearup - the best mixtape I ever had, a wonderful gift from my mate Dave in Manchester in the 90’s.. sad I can’t play it any more. It’s a useless relic now. Good times to recall - a Spotify playlist isn’t quite the same.

Best one yet, took me the whole day. Next task is count the cans of Stella! Thanks @coldwarsteve.bsky.social

At last, the World Championships are about to start!!! I sense another classic is coming. The only certainty is no Luke/Luke final.. bring it on!!!!

I reckon that nobody under 55 buys newspapers any more, am I right? The RWP have such a stronghold now over what remains- why is there still an obsession on TV morning news to cover what’s in ‘the papers’? Millenials and Gen Z’s don’t give a flying toss - is this a valid assumption???

RIP John Prescott, one of the greatest politicians of our time. I saw him on a train to Hull about 7 years ago, he was still working hard through his seventies - wanted to say hi but was too chicken..

Hello! This is my first post here. Looks a lot better than the other place! Looking forward to seeing how it develops.
