Not really into Trek but just learned that I'm a Sisko. Please tell me that's not terrible?

Oh Marie! Why? Why have you done this to yourself?

Yep. Bradford here. Green for general waste, grey for recycling. Bonkers. Although both only get emptied fortnightly

I bumped up against this madness just the other day. Seems to be a new wrinkle in the usual conspiracy theory nonsense? They seem especially excited by the fact that the Fabians used to use a wolf in sheep's clothing as their original coat of arms 🤷

To my shame I only saw them live for the first time last summer (on their co-headliner tour with the Manics). To say I was blown away is an understatement. A band at the very top of their game.

Sorry to hear that. Still about ninety miles more than I've ever run though!

Good luck you mad bastard! Any idea when you plan/expect to be passing Keighley/Bingley?

Amazed it's as low as 90% to be honest! My process was to draw concentric circles 100 and 200 miles from home (far enough that parents wouldn't be breathing down my neck but close enough that they'd come rescue me if it all went wrong) and then see which city I vibed with.

Just to update - he's in (despite narrowly missing the required grades)! Simultaneously super proud and startlingly aware of my own mortality

On the other side of this for the first time in [checks notes] 32 years. Hoping my eldest wakes up to a lovely acceptance email from his institution of choice...

'Abbie' was right there!

Shirley Bassey, Ruth Madoc, Charlotte Church.... 😉

A ginger cat slinking around the front room of a house that they very much do not live in

Never been able to do this as I do not and have never owned a cat. Which makes this somewhat inexplicable...

M has just finished his bloody A levels! And S is going back to her old primary school next week for work experience. When did we get so old?

I just same here to say exactly that! Hope you, Jen and the small person are keeping well

Opens with Chemical Brothers. Closes with Take That. Splendid work!

Balatro?

Fuck it then, I'm in. My eldest is (hopefully) off to uni in the autumn to study Contemporary History and Politics so I'll be gifting the books to him

Nice to hear @mrjimbob.bsky.social's new single blasting out at halftime in the Wimbledon vs Port Vale game at the Cherry Red Records Stadium #UTV #SuperValeAway

"Not all heroes wear capes,
But they do"
Another masterful line to add to the canon. Thank you Jim for continuing to bring some joy to a darkening world

The saying "A dead pope is better than a twisted frog" is a colloquial, and sometimes humorous, way of saying that a known, even if difficult, situation is better than an unpredictable or potentially chaotic one. It suggests that certainty, even a situation of death or loss, is preferable to a situation of uncertainty or the potential for something worse to happen.

Bloody hell Jim, where do you find the time? Another absolute banger.
Now do I extend my policy of buying music on formats I can't actually listen to to 7 inch singles? I think we all know the answer to that one!

Hopefully not still teaching?

This was amazing. Can't remember the last time I was in a full on mosh pit and I'll pay for it when the booze (eventually) wears off but what a weekend!! #ShiiineOn

See you in Skeggy Jim. The first thing I highlighted once the stage times were released!

Discovering that he was only 78 has given me a rude awakening to my own mortality. In my mind, Kelly was an old man when he was presenting Going for Gold but if he stopped hosting it on '97 he was, in fact, younger than I am now for almost it's entire run 😬

Fair. Even that beats the good old days of waiting for the relevant page on Ceefax to roll around 😂

Yeah but, as an exile who doesn't get to many games, I miss the updates during matches

I'm not trying to enforce anything sweetheart. Just hoping for a day soon where I can finally delete that awful app as updates from the Vale are the only thing keeping me there now.

Do you think Vale should stop posting on Xitter or at the very least mirror the content on here so that we no longer need to visit the Nazi-adjacent tech-bro hellsite?
