Interesting this. It’s one of the first things I noticed when I came over for these couple of weeks. They’re everywhere in Yorkshire. My sister even said there are parts of Huyton that’s the same.
Why do people think England flags have been raised on lampposts?

The bitter irony of Murillo's goal being allowed against Liverpool is that it is the direct consequence of van Dijk's wrongly disallowed goal against Man City, which the PL panel agreed should have stood. When things start going against you...

Take yourself back 36 years and the bass intro to this song is probably how you were first introduced to The Stone Roses, and it just went from there.

A much needed kick up the arse for music.
RIP Mani

Andy Robertson (BBC): "I've been in bits. I couldn't get my mate Diogo Jota out of my head today. We spoke so much together about the World Cup. We always discussed what it would be like going to this World Cup. I know he'll be somewhere smiling over me tonight." 🏴

Listening to Peter Lovenkrands Scottish accent, and having heard big Jan Molby’s Scouse accent over the years, I do wonder if the Danes have a gift for picking up the brogue of where they live?

Whenever someone in power blames immigrants on the difficulties facing working people, working class communities and those struggling to make ends meet in disadvantaged areas, remember two words: 'managed decline'.

Ticked visiting Asda off my list. Can’t believe how cheap it is compared to back in NZ.
Observation number two. Traffic jams. So many traffic jams.

Settled in to the AirBnB. One thing I’ve noticed since I was last in the UK is the amount of speed cameras there are here. Jesus. The CarPlay spent more time warning of speed cameras than it did playing music.
