Old fat sweary bloke
Love a mojito(s)
Uninfluencer
Love my chester draws
Former dental model (pre treatment shot)

Live between France and Spain
International worst seller
Never shortlisted, no awards

I'd never realised that before publication, A Tale of Two Cities by Dickens had been serialised in two English provincial newspapers.
It was the Bicester Times
It was the Worcester Times.
Biting cold
Face in pain
Sweating with exertion
Gasping for air
Pushing harder yet
Needing distance
Finally into the forest
They stopped
They'd not heard the explosion
But #lambent sky
Over the lake
Told the 2 Norwegians
Their sabotage mission had succeeded
No heavy water for German bombs

I'm here
Alive
And kicking
Yet
A #ghost of the man
I was
Too many things seen
And done
I'm empty
Nothing inside
Nearly finished my time
I'll die empty
Without joy or sadness
Just nothing

She's there
Always
A #shadow
Tucked away
In a corner of my head
Used to be, she was my first and last thought every day
For a long time
Now it's not every day
Although it's still many
But
She's there
Always
And I still don't know
If I want it
Or not

Apart from Camberley U14's conceding 2 goals in the last 8 minutes to lose a cup match 2-1, it's been a very good football weekend for me.

Si, Carlos, que fantástico.

Is there any way I can get rid of "AI overview" when trying to find info online? Everything is Americsn centric, often utterly useless for my needs.
Plus, I simply don't want it.
Any help happily received.

#bend it like the Beckham family.
No such thing as bad publicity.
Some of them will be getting even richer over whatever the current gossip is.
Play along if you feel the need to enrich billionaires.

Help required
Does anyone know of a free, SIMPLE, app for designing a kitchen or something similar in a pretty small space on a boat?
Any ideas really happily received.
TIA

Bodo Glimt v Man City. Am I watching a highlight reel?
January 20, 2026 at 6:10 PM
Yes #Everton
Many thanks.

#Wolves are down, not a chance in hell they'll avoid it, but they've really played and battled well the last few games.
Go down, but with some pride and fight, that'll give them a much better feeling to start next season.

Do it!
Whatever "it" is, just do it.
No point in having these dreams, great or small, if tomorrow you're no longer here.
This is meant for someone in particular.
Me.
It's meant for me.

I just LOVE the Viz.
For most non Brits this isn't comprehensible.

The crowd were bellowing at full voice, marvelling once again at Marcus Smith's footwork, as he lit up the #Stoop.

Watching a story of twin sisters who didn't meet till they were in their 50's.
Knew they were adopted but had no idea they were twins.
Absolutely not crying*

*Actually crying a lot

I wrote a book a few years ago
Like so much in my life, it was shit. I did what I always do
I decided I was going to write a book. So I wrote it Within a week it was written, and available to buy.
It was soooo bad. Not edited, not even a once over. Just written + sent to print. So #slapdash

@buckers2023.bsky.social squashed tomatoes and stew (for yesterday I believe).

Another word I had to look up to be sure I knew exactly what it meant, having never used "#kooky" in my life, spoken or written.

Macclesfield
Brilliant
Just brilliant
There are so many reasons people love sport.
This is sooooo many of them.
Macclesfield 2-1 Crystal Palace
BIGGEST SHOCK EVER.

Affairs of the heart
Love and the like
Make rational people
Behave
In ways that are
At best
Bizarre
#unmissable red flags
Obvious to all
Outside the relationship
Invisible
To those within

Shane Warne
1st ball in England
1st ball in Ashes cricket
What a #delivery
Unplayable
Gatting perplexed
The world amazed
Start of an incredible career

When I used to #adorn myself in younger men's clothes,
I saw the world a different way
Good v evil
The good guy wins
Huzzah
Beer and smokes for all
Now, though
Evil is in power
And the good guys are doing nothing
I feel a bit like Brooks Hatlen,
I don't understand the world anymore

Love
Like a discordant #symphony
Rises and falls
With crescendo
And calm
Allegro
Adagio
And all between.
It has a beginning
A middle
And
Sadly
All too often
An end
But there is that one
Most have it
That one
Eternal
The music always plays
An ever present balero
That you never want
To end
