Family. Ex-teacher sport especially rugby union, (Scotland/Hawick) and horse racing. Rock music, malt whisky, dodgy puns. Often found near cheese... Occasional political wafflings.
Will follow back all non-spam accounts
Any more takers?
Clue of the day Bluesky! Took me an eternity 🤦‍♂️ but you might spot it straight away.

When you do, you'll know. 💯

Just say 'got it', when you do and I'll give the answer in a bit! 😁

'Marital crime with large woman' (6).

Feel this win and the manner of it probably at least equals the two URC titles.

If I could dedicate it to someone it would be Adam Hastings, in many ways tonight its architect.

A career so blighted by injuries, tonight must feel very special for him.

Chip off the old block too!

21-0 is a dangerous lead 🤨

If they'd just kept the simpl rule that a forward pass is one that travels forward, and not repeatedly tinkered with it, it would have saved the sport lots of grief and wasted time on hairline reviews.

Go back to the original!

Sometimes 'keep it simple stoopid' works best!

And the Welsh rugby union rebranding is complete. 🤨

Hills shops not betting at counter on Meydan is one of the more ridiculous things you'll hear today.

But staff memo ongoing after several weeks of racing.

Don Pelicano 25/1, 5.35 is approx six months older as a Southern Hemisphere 3yo, against 2yos.

Fav might be good thing but a late April foal 🤔

Was very critical of Everitt and Edinburgh last week, but that's the best 80 I've seen them play since he took over.

Ouch Darcy that simply had to go.

Thrilling half.

Warriors about to do an Edinburgh special and snatch defeat from the jaws of victory?

I'll give FIFA this.

If there's any organisation on earth that might make the WRU seem smart, it's them.

So Scotland tomorrow could draw USA, Australia and Curacao.

Or it could be Brazil (or Spain), Croatia - and Italy (or their pool winner).

I have a suspicion it'll be a lot closer to the second one than the first! 🤔

The four warm balls in tomorrow's RWC draw accidentally released.

SA, Scotland, Georgia and Samoa. 😳

Plan B for December. 😋

Red card 34 seconds in to the Pau v La Rochelle game. 😲 (On premier sports 2).

...But no cigar 🤦‍♂️

Perhaps Wales should keep the four regions and scrap the National team... 😜
November 29, 2025 at 5:38 PM
Yup sport has been badly let down tonight.
That is the closest a decision has come to making me break the no ref chat policy in the full eight years doing this. The referee has a duty of care to these guys.

I'm completely neutral on the Dragons Leinster game.

But that blatantly reckless head contact is one of the poorest decisions I've seen in many years.

So Weak.

Should keep me entertained in the morning ☺️
November 28, 2025 at 7:03 PM
So, Scotland won't be playing NZ and SA next summer then...

What a choker 🤣

Twatter in its modern guise. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

A convicted felon pardoned a turkey today.

Such painful irony.

Boring message alert 🤨

Bailey's original £11 a litre in Sainsbury's if you have the store's nectar card. #publicinfomessage

Last Wednesday in November incoming.

Probably explains why there are 35 flat races scheduled in GB and Ireland.

... Not to me, but hey I'm sure someone out there will know 🤨
