As a private seller on Ebay they make it almost impossible to set the postage correctly. Almost not worth it. Changed the system earlier this year to protect the buyers regarding post. If its too much then the buyers don't have to pay it do they. Sellers hit all the time.😡 rant over. #ebay

All talk of expanding the game is pointless if we can't protect and make the game prosper in the heartlands. #RIPSalfordRedDevils and hopefully Featherstone can be saved. #RugbyLeague #FeatherstoneRovers #SalfordRedDevils

Book haul from yesterday's trip to Chorlton. Football was rained off so trip saved by this lot. Some cozy mysteries. A United legend. A volume from Peter Ackroyd's History of England series to complete the set. #books #booksky #reading #bookhaul #library #charityshopbooks #MUFC #history #Chorlton

Woke up 25 mins ago , Stokes and Jack's in 40s. Is their hope? No fucking despairing within 20 mins. Did they not see the West Indies show how to do it? 🤬🤬

Not bothering with an alarm for the Test Match. Not worth the disappointment. I hope I'm wrong. #Ashes #AusEng #TestMatch

Fucking frustrating that I have all the warehousing experience to walk into a job only to not even get to an interview. What the fuck do they want!!??. Wankers don't deserve me then.

Just noticed the FIFA Peace Prize. What utter and complete bollocks. Does Infantino know just what a laughing stock he's just made himself and FIFA giving it to that turnip!

Job update listing several jobs at 12.12. Click on one 'newly listed' just two hours later and it's 'expired' already. Why bother #jobhunting

Visit to Sale where the GET charity has found new premises within the Emporium. Smaller than last place but happily grabbed Lovejoy, Granchester and Alexandra Benedict. Books are free but limited to 3 per visit. #Lovejoy #JameRuncie #AlexandraBenedict #bookhaul #books #charityshopbooks

Always a delight when the new Rugby League Journal Winter 2025(#93) arrives. Great pieces on the game and clubs before it became a brand.

Sad to see the passing of Frank Cassidy of Salford and Swinton fame. What a cracking stand off he was RIP Frank 😞 #SalfordRLFC #SwintonRLFC #RugbyLeague

One thing ALL sports teams must do is make sure you pay the HMRC. The taxman always wins. Always
