Can’t help thinking that if I’d ripped off the government for £122m I’d be in jail rather than my limited company getting fined. Who yer know innit. #Slime

Having such a good time in Seattle. An amazing cool city, and a very strong political stance.

My wife was lecturing today at a nurses conference. It was exactly 34 years to the day that she had her first lecture as a student…in the same lecture theatre.

And who was in the lecture theatre? My daughter, who is starting her nurse job this week.

Lots of people talking about this but I can’t remember it

Day 14: A song from a theatre/film musical

The Supremes & The Temptations - The Impossible Dream

From Man of La Mancha

The whole album was one I was brought up on and one I still regularly listen to…and I still adore Diana Ross!

Don’t like to be negative on players but I just don’t see what Whittaker brings to the team. That’s 4 and a half matches in and just don’t see it, especially when we have such good players on the bench #boro

Could have used yesterday’s!

Instead, it’s my wedding song! 💒

Pulp - Something Changed

So deserved

Mr Smoggie @mrsmoggie.bsky.social · Sep 10

Absolutely. 👍

How bloody good is this?! And shows that the majority of us demand that those in charge stand up for those without a voice. #lineker

Gary Lineker on winning the National TV Award,

"It's not lost on me why I might have won this award"

"Aside from presenting Match of the Day.."

"Also, I think it demonstrates that perhaps it's ok sometimes to use our platform to speak up on behalf of those who have no voice"
