Button-cute, rapier-keen, wafer-thin and pauper-poor. Boro FC, fine Wine, the Arts, John Prine, everything really.... except Tories. Thinks globally, acts hillbilly.
I have no idea what it is. I have no explanation. I have no theory. I'm completely powerless.

But it's not that.

Those people who say "I'll drive them there myself" when #boro players move on, they need to move on too, for being so trite, I'll drive them there myself.

Reaching into my pocket for loose change to put into a ladies collection tin that turned out to be her reusable Gregg's coffee cup. I've had all the Xmas shopping stimuli I can stand for one year.

I knew your people, Sean. Your grandfather; he died in Australia, in a penal colony. And your father, he was a good man too.

Bumped into Darragh Lenihan in the lift at the Riverside yesterday. He said he hoped to be back on the grass in January but didn't specify which January. #boro #utb

Wonder what new blights the gods have inflicted on us to bedevil our promotion hopes since the outrageous slings and arrows of Wednesday night. Fate does not seem to want us to have nice things, not even a pre match presser on Thurs was there? Carrick prob stayed in bed watching box sets #boro #utb

When we establish assistance when dying can we try and get some whilst we're living please, instead of trusting it all to the private sector.

1/ 🚨 Conspiracy theories about the 2024 election miss the bigger picture.

The truth? It wasn’t one night, one hack, or one fraud. It was a system rigged in plain sight – right in front of us. The playbook was out in the open for years. But hardly anyone paid attention.

Here’s how they did it... 🧵

He'd soon fettle all these fascistic, dark-money funded, populist, gob shiting grifters that make up the opposition party today. By 'eck as like. Authentic, plain speaking, working class, wish Labour had more like him now. RIP big man. #Prescott
