Avid reader with the Edwardian era, First World War and the Balkans particular favourite subjects. Love a horse race, 90’s progressive house and Radiohead. Dad to two smashing lads both diagnosed ASD 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
Just finished watching this. Loved it in ‘95, when it was on ITV, I think on Sunday evenings. The extra episode is a welcome addition. Watching it all again brought home to me what a sad loss George’s death was, now 24 years ago #TheBeatles #BeatlesAnthology #Disney+

No one could ever have scored a 40 and been in the dance-off on the same evening before? #StrictlyComeDancing #SCD #Strictly

Recently finished this. A worthy winner of the Booker Prize 2025 (not that I’ve read the other nominees). The fall and rise and fall of a Hungarian emigrant in England. Told with austere prose, episodically, following the existence of a man’s life and what factors pull it in what directions #Booksky

Who else wants to score against Spurs this week by shooting from just outside the box? How has Frank not made closing that down a priority after last Sunday and PSG? #COYS

Radiohead, O2, 25/11/25 - The last post

Weird Fishes / Arpeggi

Fingers crossed this run of European residencies will kickstart their alchemy to create something new. A feeling though that this is a lap of honour they’re on. Victorious swan song. 2026 I suspect will hold the answer #Radiohead #O2

Radiohead - Separator, O2 25/11/25

They have always sung to my very soul, burrowed deep into the marrow of my bones. For 30 years now their music has soared and connected with me like no other band ever has. #Radiohead #O2 #Separator #London

Sit Down. Stand Up. A song title that perfectly encapsulates my evening sitting in an aisle seat. Every song people were up to either the bar or toilet. Couldn’t spoil what was an incredible evening last night in the O2 #Radiohead #O2 #SitDownStandUp #London

Radiohead at the O2 25/11/25

The best to ever do it.

“Music… bloody hell!” (To paraphrase a 90’s behemoth of another sphere).

Last night was a privilege, the set phenomenal. An experience I will never forget. This is Like Spinning Plates off Amnesiac, 2001 #Radiohead #O2 #London

Has “To dare is to do” ever been so redundant a club motto as under this manager? The team’s body of work in these 12 league games to date is strong evidence for the the prosecution #COYS #THFC #AudereestFacere

The rhythm section really was what made The Stone Roses great. Mani’s baselines are some of the most recognisable of the era that still drive those anthems 30+ years on: Fools Gold, I Am The Resurrection, She Bangs The Drums, I Wanna Be Adored to name a few. RIP Mani #TheStoneRoses #Mani #RIP

There was a lot of noise around this when it was released a couple of months ago. It was totally justified, it’s superb. A gripping true story that moves your emotions everywhere: despair, joy, disgust, confusion, sadness, hope. @jonathanfreedland.bsky.social‘s book is my book of the year #Booksky

I don’t really get excited about anniversary editions of albums where there’s demo after demo filling up the tracklist. However the Love Kraft 20 years reissue from Super Furry Animals is a joy. Lazer Beam b-side Colonise The Moon is bliss (No Sympathy reworked?) #SuperFurryAnimals #SFA #LoveKraft

Part architectural history and very much part social history, naturally with politics throughout, this is an excellent study of high-rise living in Britain since the Second World War by @holsmith.bsky.social #Booksky #Highrise

A vivid first hand account of the months leading up to July 1st 1916, the Battle of the Somme. The day the diarist, Captain Charlie May was killed. The impending doom of those last few days, the outcome known to the reader, are very poignant as well as the fate of those mentioned throughout #Booksky

A deeply impressive piece of work from @jasonburke2.bsky.social. Such a good read #Booksky

With the caveat that there are two very creative players absent through long term injuries; this Spurs side is bereft of any craft, guile and style. It’s very difficult to pin point exactly how they set up and set out to take the game to the opposition. A difficult watch #COYS

Shown very little in the final third bar Kudus’s delivery for the goal. Need to find a way to get Simons in the game #COYS

know you have to have an unwavering belief in your abilities to be a manager at the highest level. But sometimes you’ve got to recognise when a job is not a good fit and pass on it. Hindsight maybe, but Big Ange never looked like the right man to follow Nuno at Forest, mate. Feel for him #COYS
