Day eight in my new role and the CEO has just announced the business has been sold for $1.8bn.

Now I'm not saying it's *all* down to my hard work but...

What a shout this is

The Ineffable Horror of Joe Muggs @joemuggs.bsky.social · 2d

Modest proposal:

BBC BRING BACK 'TOMORROW'S WORLD'.

Science, tech, environment reporting are woeful currently. Something that blasts excitement about what a golden age we're in of discovery (vaccines, computing, space exploration etc etc) but can also be a trojan horse for warnings on climate etc

the presenters of 1980s Tomorrow's World

Absolutely cracking story this. Honestly don't know where I sit on it - on one hand, anything that helps independents keep afloat is good; on the other it's 'food as an algorithm' and 'brands' becoming more important than the actual food.

You might have heard of 'dark kitchens' when a row of sheds in a car park churn out food for Deliveroo. They're unpopular and low margin. So the next big thing in London food is 'host kitchens' where local pubs, restaurants and kebab shops cook for big brands. www.londoncentric.media/p/host-kitch...

Why your next upmarket Deliveroo might be made by your local kebab shop

Enjoying the World Grand Prix arrers and reminded what a top drawer pundit Wayne Mardle is - knowledgeable, accessible, enthusiastic. Top man. #Darts

Absolute scandal he only got 53 caps. If he was French, he would have got 140

Dan Thomas @dannyt78.bsky.social · 5d

Only got eight - more of a reflection on the way he was used than him I'd suggest.

Saka became Arsenal's highest ever England scorer tonight with... 13 🤣

Fun quiz for your #coys crew, without Google of course, name the seven Tottenham players who scored 13 or more for England while playing for the club.

Reminds me of Shearer saying the Saudis buying Newcastle was good as it would 'start a conversation' 💰💰

Dan Thomas @dannyt78.bsky.social · 10d

Cheers. Have worked it out, we've still got an old box, not got around to upgrading to Sky Q (now on the to-do list!)

Dan Thomas @dannyt78.bsky.social · 10d

Also not on Sky anywhere, frustrating!

One of the major benefits of Djed Spence becoming a reliable left-back is that we haven't had to rush Udogie back after injury. He was outstanding and is looking fit as a fiddle. Good signs.

Dan Thomas @dannyt78.bsky.social · 11d

Very much enjoyed the Leeds fans whining about the ref all day even though Ampadu should have been off

Dan Thomas @dannyt78.bsky.social · 11d

Can't start a 🔥 without a spark

Dan Thomas @dannyt78.bsky.social · 12d

Yeah must be, only 400 odd away fans there. Will be back home for the first ball of the Ashes at this rate

Dan Thomas @dannyt78.bsky.social · 12d

If Palace win it in May, will be better than winning a speedboat on Bullseye

Dan Thomas @dannyt78.bsky.social · 12d

How good do they look right now? Top class

Would want an improvement to the Arthur Wait stand before transferring mind

Dan Thomas @dannyt78.bsky.social · 12d

I know they were all rightly fuming about being chucked out of the Europa but watching Palace completely outclass Dynamo Kiev there, they are clear favourites to win that comp and I reckon the fans will prefer another cup come the end of the season.

Dan Thomas @dannyt78.bsky.social · 14d

What do think the 'style' of play he's attempting is? I just see long balls to wide players and waiting for set pieces.
