The total inability of a camera to do justice to what your eyes see when they look at a proper fuckin' good Moon should serve as a periodic reminder that the only things you've really seen are things you saw WITH YOUR OWN EYES. Tonight's Moon is MAJESTIC. On my camera it's....the moon.
Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies. Heaven's morning breaks and Earth's vain shadows flee. In life, in death, O' Lord, Abide with me. 🦁🦁🦁
So the algorithms just reminded me that four years ago to the day me and the Mrs were in Brighton watching England Vs Norway. They were fancied. One Europe's best sides. They had Ada Hegerberg, arguably the best player in the world on her day. We won 8-0. Summon the spirit of Beth Mead! 🦁🦁🦁
As a Brit who loves a partner from Philly I will happily say Wiz on a cheese steak (Jim's please!) is one of the times I'm grateful for an American contribution to cheesemaking. I reckon you might have English, French AND Swiss people burning things down over this sort of madness though.
TW: Spiders, bugs etc Even in the city nature will let you in on the show 🤓 Watched this beetle flying around my plants, even said Hi to it "Oh, you're a funny ancient looking thing" then promptly fall foul of a web by the pot. Spider ran out and has taken 5 mins to mummify it. I'm transfixed.
Whole curvature of the ball has to cross - this must be the closest I've ever seen - looks like the correct call by a matter of micrometres. #JAPTUN
Still at the parade in my head. Think I will be for a little while yet. #COYG 🔴⚪
I stopped reading after awash with joy - glad we got there. Enjoy your evening.
Still think the best all day was an elderly lady in another bit of this building opening the windows of her juliet balcony like Brian of Nazareth, yelling ARSENAL and having the whole of Essex Rd chant "ARSENAL ARSENAL" back up at her. She was so pleased. Gwarn. #COYG #AFC #ArsenalParade
Holy shit, big up Holloway Rd. NORTH LONDON IS RED #COYG #ArsenalParade #AFC
We were legit stood in one of the quieter spots... absolute glorious madness over the entire 10k route. So good to see so many the kids out today - they were largely missing from the Tuesday and Sunday celebrations, today they're starting half the chants... such a great community atmosphere.
I locked eyes with Gabriel and Beth Mead and yelled "THANK YOU THANK YOU" at them. I am content. This was absolutely fucking amazing. #COYG #ArsenalParade #AFC
Nah, we're' having it mate. Champions of England, we know what we are. 10k route and this is one of the quieter spots on Essex Rd. Highbury and Islington is one big red-smoke filled party.
Is there a British man between the age of 40 and 50 literally anywhere on the sexual spectrum that was not influenced by the life and styles of Dorien Green? My Dad says the word Icon is overused, but there should be literal statues to Dorien Green in the West End.
Never experienced scenes like this and I don't want them to end. ARSENAL #COYG
The original post seems to have been community noted. Certainly doesn't take much stretch to believe it, but doesn't appear to be real.. *this time*
Stepping out your doorstep and just casually watching the most elite athletes in human history setting a world record once thought impossible. THAT'S London life.
Definitely not the BEST film of 2000 but that hasn't stopped me getting an irresistible urge to watch it nearly every year since then. Love, Honour and Obey
Just cut an absolute all-timer promo to my work webcam in case the spybots were watching. I trust that light being off meaning the webcam isn't on about as much as I trust that my puppy won't fart.
Days like this I get goosebumps at the privilege of being a Eastender. This ancient city, its non-stop architectural and cultural renewal, forever tied to its past always forging its future. Simply a stunning place and anyone who has ever called it "lost" or "no go" should turn their passport in 🇬🇧
For the 🤼 "it's too long" crowd, you may not have found this button on your remote, but it's a game changer:
Real 7* at the Tokyo Dome kind of football today in the Premiership.
I rather love this. But won't somebody please think of the unifying options amongst our beautiful lichens? I reckon we might even be able to convince Farage to get behind "British Soldiers"
Sums it up tbh. It's their job, not ours. Just like our bad leaders are our job. All the West has ever done is make it more difficult for them to gain momentum.
We're going to this and you should go to this. Don't let them pretend British people support what is happening in the Middle East because of Israel and the Trump Administration. We need to show up in NUMBERS. stopwar.org.uk
Mandelson's arrest giving hope one day we'll get Tony. His imprint in the files is intriguing - as if he's close to the centre of a different/connected network. Suggestion below that someone uses him to whitewash a hidden bank to enable financial crime. What else do people use his reputation for?
WWF Wrestlefest I always remember it seeming really good value too because one credit seemed to last ages.
