Not the actor from Star Wars, Dr Who, or The Tweenies - asking me trivia on any of these risks fabricated replies.
Open to exchanging opinions on Leeds, music, politics, Age of Sail navy, and vague memories of the 20th century.
Part of me hoping the big #crypto crash is finally here, but I assume the banks have probably gambled on it to the extent that as usual the money-grabbing pricks will have fucked the rest of us as they usually do.

Crossover Pitch: The Traitors’ Apprentice

I’m not watching either show, so have no idea how this would work. You sort it out. I’m just ideas guy.

My mum just told me that #curling starts earlier than the rest of the #winterolympics - first matches are today, rock fans!

Rest of you, go about your business.

Thought this was about Eric Morcambe on first glance.
Today marks the 67th anniversary of the day the music died. Feb. 3, 1959. 67 years ago today (at 1:00 a.m.), the plane carrying Buddy, Ritchie Valens, The Big Bopper, and pilot Roger Peterson went down in a field near Clear Lake, Iowa. I took this photo at the edge of that field in 2014.

Timeline endlessly full of “we’re not forgetting Epstein”; nothing about Venezuela, Gaza, Ukraine…seems like it’s hard to think about more than one thing at a time.

Transfer deadline is no fun without some Flighttracker action - I see Strand Larsen & his agent are in a holding pattern over East Leeds at the moment. #lufc

The last decade has seen a lot of moments where hearing something on the radio has prompted me to explode in a string of incredulous expletives, but hearing “…Mandelson said he had no recollection of payments totalling $75,000…” has got to be up there in terms of resulting decibels & obscenity.

We should make it a condition of selling any player that if we finish a season in a higher position than the buying team, we have the option to have the player back for free. #lufc

I mean, I’m looking at Archie here…I think Rutter’s a bit out of reach.

I feel as though me, the Beckhams and the my fam move in different circles, if they think Brooklyn's mum dancing weird ruined the wedding. I've been to a wedding where the bride's mother got her tits out and punched the cake.

Rewatched The Godfather the other day. The noise at the end of this clip - that’s a little fart, right?

Sorting through some old boxes, and found a priceless First Edition, a piece of @vizcomic.bsky.social history.

Second time in a week I’ve turned the radio on and gone “What the fuck is this?” to find the answer is Real Tree Lee by Adult DVD. Really need to hear more than the last 30 seconds….

The four teams below us record for their combined last 12 matches is W4 D6 L2.

Mind you, the two teams above us have managed W1 D5 L6, so that just goes to show.

I don’t know what it goes to show, but this is the sort of bullshit that not playing until Monday night leads to. #lufc

Does anyone else think this guy looks a little bit…Epsteiny? Is TUi advertising some island getaway?

“I’ve bought an apocalypse-proof boat, with an array of weaponry”

Assuming @dreadships.bsky.social will weigh in on this…

Armley Gyratory, new Station Entrance, Trams… why are #leeds infrastructure projects calculated in geological time periods rather than hours?
Underpass in one weekend. The Netherlands. 😊

Don’t know what’s more stupid - this nonsense account or the huge number of medals the guy on the left is wearing.

Because I’m an arse, I checked - he is actually eligible to wear a Blue Peter badge. But where’s that?

Spurs, Arsenal, Man City - on a day when other fans will have been furious with their teams, it’s great that #lufc got the job done.

I was awarded the 2012 Nobel Peace Prize.

I mean, I shared it with around 500 million other Europeans, but still…didn’t have to beg it off someone .

Shame to lose it in 2016.

Saw the nostalgia package of the 2014 Départ on Look North this evening - got quite choked up. That was a great few days.

There is a great deal of satisfaction in watching Tories learn the lesson “Never trust a Tory” the hard way. Fuckem.
