Junior football again today after a while. 11 yo grandson singing to soundtrack of #BlackEyedPeas on @HeartWales Game called off! His dad took him home. Me, drove back home with soundtrack of Desert Island Discs - Bananarama and Police. More like junior football first time round.

@felicityhannah.bsky.social how can Trump equate UK VAT to his beautiful tariffs when VAT is a sales tax (they have them in the states too), levied on all goods sold, whether imported or made here in the UK?

See the latest person spotted at the farming protest was well-known 76 year old agriculturist Lord Lloyd Webber who apparently "farms just under 5,000 acres". I wonder how much of his reported ½£B net worth was made from growing spuds? Dyson, Clarkson, Webber how many more?

We’re in a nice little bubble over here where we can pretend people like Andrew Tate don’t exist 🥰
Andrew Tate got banned from Bluesky in less than one day.
Another reason things are so much better here than Twitter.

It’s just fantastic opening @bsky.app & finding my news feed full of all the accounts I followed on X whose posts I mysteriously never saw. And to top it off no dumb arse, cretinous, non-sensical tweets from Musk being forced down my throat and not a single troll telling me to f*** off. Happy days
