I was thinking daughter was on a health kick for a moment

Eldest daughter gone down to Wembley for the match. No problem standing all the way down on extortionate train journey or gouged “hotel” room prices. £10 to get in a pub and paying £8 a pint though - not a happy girl at that! Welcome to London Becca!

Blue sky and the sunshine for a Saturday. Probably won’t end up having as much fun as 17 year old me when this was first being played but always make me smile! youtu.be/9MV9yMPmYGI?si…

I’m City season ticket holder. Don’t complain about matches when we’re playing Celtic in North Carolina in July. Stop taking the piss.

Like after the Arsenal match I don’t understand the negativity about incredible defensive displays. If we’d taken our chances last night (KDB and Foden “sitters”) then there would be no discussion.

Richard Hawley only ever makes things better. I could listen to him play the spoons. Coles Corner is a magnificent album amongst many.

Should be a cracker

Great to see the chippy on Cross Street full of Real fans for lunch. Manchester Tapas.

Watched the Pet Shop Boys doc on BBC1 last night. Obviously I’m big fan but it was great insight and they’re great people.

Where’s that comet?

One of the most offensive things I’ve ever seen and I grow up in Blackpool. 45 FFS!

I do wonder whether humanity has run its course and we should just let nature do its thing.

Somehow this song is 35 years old but perfect soundtrack this evening! youtu.be/fhV33bOsJ5M?si…

Faro to Lagos by train. 60 miles and 1hr 45m. No frills. Everyone had seats. No -one rushing. On time. £7. State-owned operator.

Over 80yrs old and this essay always reminds that good writing takes effort, politicians have always been full of bullshit and never trust someone who uses Latin or Greek in an English sentence.

Pochettino out?????

Just flicked through the channels to be faced with, in order, the Pope, Joe Wicks, Alan Titchmarsh, Tim Lovejoy and Jane McDonald (singing “Happy” on a bike).

Blackpool bringing its “double rainbow” game today. (This will annoy my Lytham friends).

Shuffle function going big early this Bank Holiday. This first up and just gone 9. open.spotify.com/track/1hLNOxFI…

This is insane. It’s bad enough these ideas are thought good in the first place but for them to be suggested without any thought about events of the last 20 years is appalling.
