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.

Posting them in that order does rather look like you’ve slavishly removed the paint and then semi-dismantled the models…

Did we overlap? I remember going to pick up bundles of TSB from Ian’s flat in Holborn Towers on match days and then getting Parkways down to Elland Road. Probably 94-96. Never really had time to socialise, just picked up boxes and float and got going.

Hmmm. I appreciated the dark source material by going to the school that inspired it.

8 years old, my previous experience was a “normal” village school. Lunchtime on the first day at new school genuinely involved spear-wielding kids battling for control of an island.

Waiting for your account of the silent dark figure at the back of the group that doesn’t seem to be there any more when you usher everyone else to the next location…

Anyone that’s had extended hospital stays knows what a difference to your day it makes if the good taker is on duty (rather than the one that seems to be using a blunt spoon)

Totally against the spirit of Irn Bru to be adding ingredients that are recognisable foodstuffs; should just be seasonal additive codes.

Seems unusual not to have some Scotland connection with Leeds. The closest I can come up with is Mctominay scored against us a few years ago - anything more relevant?

There’s an old a short story called “The Goalkeeper’s Revenge” about a kid that spends years to get his own back on the striker that wronged him, including buying his club in order to sell him. It’s mentioned in The Damned United’s notes.

Maybe Ratcliffe’s plan has always been to destroy Man U?

I think it’s because I’m wearing my glasses when I’m looking at them online, and just vaguely squinting when they’re hanging up…

Have to say I actually turned it on when I saw your “Kemi in the wireless” post this morning - I’d enjoyed her Northern Ireland insights the other day and was hoping for more.

There really aren’t any clever people left in politics, are there?

I saw a post from someone this weekend saying they couldn’t search for <search term> without finding a load of hate posts, and saying ‘this place is becoming just like X’.

I thought “how awful” and searched <search term> to see what they meant.

Couldn’t find any hate in any search results.
