Wishing Steve Coppell a happy birthday, and also wishing #readingfc had a manager of his undoubtable quality in charge. But Steve was smart, and worked for a fantastic chairman and well-run club. He wouldn't touch the place with a bargepole now. Who would?
I've heard from several sources now that the #readingfc hierarchy has disappeared without trace and Dai Yongge is looking to sell... which is holding up Wilder's appointment and may even scupper it. Hoping there's a grand masterplan behind it all, but I doubt it.
My book Ultra-Processed People is published today.
It’s about how UPF affects our bodies and the planet, and what you can do about it.

@TheSocialDude Very simple. All reviews must contain at least one speling mistake. And one number. And one exclamation mark. And an emoji. Google reviews are toast!😂
@thomasknox The death of writing will be the death of Reading. Oh sorry, I meant reading. Can’t stop mentioning my hometown. Good article. Btw it is more than the death of writing. It is a new Dark Age, the end of a barely begun Enlightenment.
I wrote about how AI is the End of Writing as we know it. Finito. It’s done. Novels, poetry, drama - the works. Goodbye spectator.co.uk/article/ai-is-…

@HighwaysSEAST If it helps thousands of others save time and fuel then it was worth it. It is just frustrating that simple things are not done. It seems no one actually thinks like a driver.
@BoydAButler Hi Boyd. I'm really sorry to hear this. I have passed this on to the regional control centre and requested that some advanced warning signs are set approaching the slip road closure, but I appreciate this doesn't help you now.
@HighwaysSEAST junction 12 M4 slip road closed tonight. Arrghhh! Why don’t you put up a sign on the M4 before Junction 10 and 11 saying it is closed? Simple, effective, and helpful.
