Ex-cricket editor, ex-golf editor, ex-Olympics editor – now head up B2B content at Haymarket. Given a chance, I'll bore anyone about Ulysses – and other books. Love reading stuff that's survived the critic of time.
@nndroid.bsky.social Kompakt Total 25. Thank you – just an awesome recommendation. Not come across it before.

Here's my cat. My cat hates me – and hates all other cats. She loves my wife and kids. I love my cat. She's called Phoebe. #catsofbluesky

@rostaylor.bsky.social thank you for articulated many things beautifully on OGWN this week... The main topic in particular, the point about the BBC and political parties and more. Very nuanced and helps me understand my liberal angst. Thank you

@dorianlynskey.bsky.social liked your thought for the day on OGWN. That's basically Ulysses by Joyce. It's consistently life affirming. I have no other point to make. Just wanted to share. Happy people watching.

It's an outside chance, but Brian Bennett is in a position to do a Bannerman here.
He has some slow scorers and tail to come while he's very set.
I am not saying he will do it, but I am saying these are Bannerman-friendly conditions.

Dad died on Good Friday. He was 79 and had been ill. Here's a picture I found of him aged 24, buried in an album. His cricket team won a trip around some French vineyards – I'm guessing he's on his way back.
I love this shot. I'd love anyone else's take.
