Finished Mayflies by Andrew O’Hagan. Wow. That book brought to life much of my youth in terms of the music, history and politics of that era. Read it in a day.
As a lowly Preston North End fan, I’m pretty pleased with our former players
Seen on Facebook.. AI but hope someone does this in Clacton @countbinface.bsky.social
Love visiting the Wes Anderson exhibition @designmuseum.bsky.social in London. Well worth the money and time. Loved the fastidiousness of Anderson. #wesanderson
Very cold start at PNE this morning for the new shirt. Probably would have stayed in bed but the lad wanted to go. Managed to a match worn shirt, a remastered Wembley top for £10 and the new keeper shirt.
Really enjoyed listening to this. Audio version creates a compelling narrative. The only issue is that the narration is so American and the pronunciations are awful. Loughborough is LAO-BARROW and Peugot is PEW-JO. Considering this is based in the UK - would be good to get it right. #LondonFalling

Back in the 90s when good vibes existed. For me that was my flared cords (bought from dead stock from Afflecks Palace), an Adidas t-shirt and tracksuit top and a pair of Adidas or DKNY trainers. Dance floor ready.
Time for a task force of incorruptible legal and financial wizards to find the truth and get it out??
50p!!!!!! These were max 10p up until recently. 5 times the price from my student years!
Pedro does it again. Be more like Pedro. Lessons for Keir and the UK Labour Party. www.politico.eu/article/spai... #PedroSanchez #Spain #Espana
Wythenshawe born journalist Chris Boffey dies. When you read obits like this you discover the talents in life. Chris clearly was someone who espoused proper journalism. Sorry for your loss of a friend @alastaircampbell2.bsky.social
