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

Finn Russell is currently the best 10 in world rugby.

Don't at me! 🤪

Hate to say it but Whitehouse did a job on them tonight

Jim @jimgil.bsky.social · 1d

Absolutely so do I. There's a clear plan, the most massive clean-out coming and doubtless marquee signings.

Meantime I suspect the current crop know that and it's difficult to get anything going

I get regular emails as they're my local club.

Literally the last 14 players to sign, whether staying or new, are all on one year contracts

Putin, and Farage with the silent T in the middle of his name, joining in.

Dow off 1,100 points.

Shitcoin down nearly 10 percent.

More 🍿🍿🍿 anyone? 😂

He's utterly desperate not to give any penalties to Edinburgh.

But he's missed three obvious knock-ons as well. It's almost embarrassing

Didn't realize Whitehouse was this poor. Only eyes for one team.

Ben Whitehouse only refereeing one team.

Weak.

Incredible. Insane. I always thought I grew up in a fairly racist intolerant society.

It seemed impossible, but, yes, it's actually worse in 2025. 🤦‍♂️

Trump will lose his shit magnificently tonight 🤣

I've resisted thus far! Got a rude email in April saying I hadn't topped up for a while, was I still living there...

... Was a few days after prices went up (trad meters need a top up to update to higher prices).

Expecting same next week, as prices up again Oct 1.

They can wait 🤣

It's been troubling me for a while now. 🤔😲

Why does Angela Rippon do her gardening in the dark? 🤷‍♂️

Jim @jimgil.bsky.social · 3d

Your Finished, Pal!!

Spot on. 💯

Well now, 💯

In the current greed climate, not hard to envisage R360 signatories threatening restraint of trade legal recourse against the Unions.

Insane I know but it's the era were living with

Jim @jimgil.bsky.social · 4d

Enjoying @bsky.app much more now.

Good to see the people's posts I want to see, to talk with new people and the ever-increasing levels of interaction.

So much nicer than the other place!

And thanks to my followers for putting up with me! 😊

*Bluesky did not ask me to post anything 😂

He's heard of anger management then! 😲

Unfortunately I fear he's beyond even their help! 🤷‍♂️

Asda Rewards?

There are no rewards.

No money back after a few months. Nowt reduced for cardholders, competitions that nobody I've met or heard of has ever won.

Went away last month.

On return products in different places, and far from roll back prices, roll up prices imho!

Jim @jimgil.bsky.social · 5d

Can see why others have said Killarney.

1. Salisbury? A wild guess only. Maybe distant Spires of cathedral

Jim @jimgil.bsky.social · 5d

Sickening news that Lewis Moody, at just 47, has MND.

A former Lion, played for Leicester and Bath, and was part of England's RWC winning side in 2003.

Can only hope modern 'improvements' in concussion protocols are having the desired effect, but we'll only know when it could be too late for some.

Obviously, you mean apart from Joni Mitchell!!

Sophie De Goodie. If you know, you know!

(Ought to win female World Rugby Union player of the Year this year, if there's any justice).
