#robinsmith when I did my masters dissertation I promised myself that I would reward my effort by watching all the YouTube videos of Robin Smiths finest innings as a reward and I would not procrastinate with these before completion.

I kept my discipline and watched them in the subsequent weeks.

The news that Robin Smith has died has quite upset me. He’s one of the reasons I love cricket, mad and glorious cut shots, whilst (mostly) all around him flapped and failed.

I’m off to watch his 167 against Australia, to see him batting with Thorpe will be quite sad

My wife has just tried to open a bank account with Nat West in a branch, only to be told they can’t open accounts there.

So, we can’t open a bank account in a bank. bonkers

The sun is out, for weeks by the look at it. This means I am allowed to play ‘Madame George’. It’s the law, no sunshine, no Astral Weeks.

On behalf of every West Ham fan, not on blue sky, can I say we’ll be cheering Pablo Fornals, Adrian and Pelegrini on tonight. #realbetis

Flimsy, too big and ugly. I’m feeling old. This isn’t a train ticket, this is tat.

Just heard Mackenzie Crook read a whimsical (imagined) poem about Nick Drake coming to tea on bbc6. I’m not sure he intended to bring a tear to the eye of a 51 year old bloke in the east of England,but he did. #bbc6music #nickdrake

Winning the league, on the last day of the season, on goals scored, having never been top until the final day. Does it get any better? @footballchairman.bsky.social

Nick Kershaw and Jimmy Anderson, never seen in the same room at the same time.

@calcioengland.bsky.social ‘bad pictures of Italian football grounds’. Have you ever done that? If not, can I start? This is Hellas Verona’s curva nord in 2000
