Australian here. I remember doing that to tennis balls in the late 80s, and we learned it from people older than us!

Yeah, I saw the jacket price and closed the tab. Crazy prices!

Coggsa @coggsa.bsky.social · 20h

I could do with a few less, and more realistic prices. Took one look and closed the store.

He needs 5 at least I reckon. Back your manager!

N: "That woman hates me"
"Yep"
N: "And that one."
*Nods*
N: "And those guys"
*Nods*
N: "No respect from those ones"
"That's correct, yes. They all hate us."

Enjoying the For You feed? Give it a like ♡ to help more people discover it: bsky.app/profile/did:...

The more people use it -> the more feedback we get -> the better we can make it for you.

This feed has quickly replaced Discover for me.
I was confused when I picked up my tablet instead of my phone, and BSky was suddenly really shit again, because it reloaded the Discovery feed instead of For You.

We have a new Work From Home policy for some people, so there has been a practice that you announce you are WFH in the group chat. Just an FYI.
Some people don't like WFH, because everyone must be micromanaged.

It does NOT help that Google has a suggested response of "Enjoy your day off!"

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

In Gaza, lots of people, queer or not, don't last. That's the underlying problem.

Outside of the USA, flags are for the military and the Olympics.
The right wing is pushing that as their "thing" in other markets now. It's weird.

Honestly, this is why you sketch it out first.
Also, just have "own goal" and we would get the message.

Played for the wrong team, and wrong country for me. And I don't think he can ever be unbiased when looking at former rivals.

But I totally respect the way his honesty and level headedness has really pinched a nerve with old white racist men! They kind of proved his point too!

Football365 @football365.bsky.social · 2d

Gary Neville has picked the wrong kind of free speech. His ‘deluded’ rant and ‘most dangerous lapse into self-parody’ has prompted a Sky Sports sack call.

The MailOnline really does need to be careful about calling this a ”racist’ outburst, by the way...

Gary Neville sack decision made by Sky Sports after 'deluded' rant

Gary Neville has angered some middle-aged white men...but what do Sky Sports think of it all?

This is NOT how I wanted the "One Club" thing to work.

The article tells you all you need to know about the aithor. Teams would not be double teaming him if he wasn't a threat, which results in..... bsky.app/profile/cogg...

Yep. 100%

Publicity idea: make a public bid to be the sleeve sponsor for slightly less than what Rwanda is paying. Make it VERY public.

Arsenal accept? Good! You got it cheap + good vibes!

Arsenal decline? Well there's no fucking hiding that for the club, and you get some good vibes out of exposing it.

The Athletic | Football @theathleticfc.bsky.social · 3d

Arsenal are in discussions over extending their sponsorship deal with Visit Rwanda.

Arsenal fan group Gunners For Peace said discussions over extending the deal brought the club’s values into question.

11months after this post from @arseblog.com, and I am pretty happy with the amount of sport on my timeline now. Was (and still is) a good post to find other Gunners fans on the platform.
It does mean I tend to get Goal/FFS messages before I actually see them on the stream, but it's worth it.

arseblog @arseblog.com · Nov 9

This place still feels a bit small, not football focused, but maybe we could try and connect Arsenal fans at least.

If you are an Arsenal fan, leave a reply, people can follow, also please repost or whatever it's called her and hopefully it can spread. #arsenal

Is Gary Neville better at political commentating than football commentating?

Coggsa @coggsa.bsky.social · 3d

Something about his smile reminds me of Cameron, from Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Just really happy to be here, and be involved in Ferris's hijinks, despite what might be going on elsewhere in the world.
Arteta is obviously Ferris.

I love LWM, but she and Leah usually just clear that stuff up. Charge down the ball, and boot it 40m away if it's loose. She was rusty today, and we ended up with Catley trying to cover both sides.
Bit of an odd performance, and no room for error for the rest of the season, which is bad.
