Hats off to the US golfers. The fans? An embarrassing joke - hurling abuse rather than supporting their team, & leaving before the end when they lose. Can't take it, can they? Pathetic. Proud to be European! #rydercup #teameurope

Lots of musical thoughts to catch up on as I've been away for a while...starting with: the new Amorphis record...only one spin through admittedly, but I found it disappointing. Lacked bite, perhaps.

Never, ever, have I been more desperate for a European win in the Ryder Cup. Come on Europe! #rydercup #teameurope

Interrupting my Greek holiday to wish Son Heung Min all the very best. You are a Spurs legend & someone that every other club could only wish they had. A wonderful human & a legend. Get him back when he retires...ambassador, coach...anything. #lovesonny #bestever #COYS

If you're still wondering what the best album of 2024 was, then let me save you the trouble. All other answers are wrong. More wrong than a wrong person from Wrongchester...or Trump. Or Arsenal. Or my kids. So there! 😝 #AOTY2024 #metalsky #peerless @iotunnofficial.bsky.social #lovethisband

RRRROOOOOOOOOOTTTTTT!! Joe Root, what a legend. And to overtake Ponting, too - that's sweet. Very sweet! Second-highest all-time leading test run scorer - next up, Tendulkar... #Englandcricket

RIP, Ozzy. Thank you for helping to invent and shape the music that, aside from my children & family, has been the most important thing in my life. It doesn't bear thinking about where I might be right now without your influence looming large in my life within so many bands & their music. #metalsky

In advance of the final round of the Open at Portrush, can someone tell me which of the American golfers has the collective's personality chip today? Or did they all leave it back across the pond? #clones #robots #AIgonewrong
