Me arriving in Thailand after a month in the UK 😂

@koshercockney @ThatAlexWoman Wow she’s spot on

You just have to listen to this by @ThatAlexWoman - it’s a must listen, I mean it. This was a frighteningly accurate account of what Starmer and other leaders of the UK have caused. “You didn’t stop those ‘Pro-Palestine marches, you didn’t proscribe the Muslim Brotherhood, you didn’t proscribe the IRGC, you weakened support of Israel .. What on earth do you think you’re doing?! You’re domestic terrorists! You’re sabotaging this Nation!” Via @TalkTV

@allstarsignings I think I had all these on my 101 great goals vhs

Back to the 80s… This Goal of the Season compilation is packed with pure old-school worldies. Terrible pitches, short shorts, dodgy barnets and some absolute screamers. 🎥 Press play and pick your winner. #80sFootball #GoalOfTheSeason #RetroFootball

@WKanpeh Dai iawn! 👏

My once-a-year attempt to bake, Welsh Cakes for March 1st.

@Lewypayne Thailand 😉

So had planned on going to Seattle to see my cousin end of April start of May. Turns out he’s now going away himself now so back to the drawing board. Thinking Japan China or a few footie trips around Europe. Let’s see. Where should I go?????

@Mericamemed 😂😂😂

He walked right into that one. There's no coming back from that.

@Lewypayne @FTBLsection Probably feels better looking at his bank balance in the morning Lou 😂

@FTBLsection Absolute waste of a career

Scott Carson, the former Manchester CIty goalkeeper, was 38 years old and living the dream. He played just TWO GAMES in FIVE SEASONS and was the third choice goalkeeper. The Premier League allows teams to have 25 players named in the squad, but 8 of them must have spent at least 3 years as a youth player in an English team. In order to comply with the regulations, City filled that slot with Carson, developed at Leeds United since he was 15 years old. In 2022, in the Champions League, against Sporting Lisbon, the veteran goalkeeper entered the field of play as a tribute and received a standing ovation from the entire crowd. That was his second game in a City shirt. He was on £30,000 a week which meant his salary came to £1.4m a year.

@edwards_callum I totally agree with you- the lions tour was pathetic and the teams that usually make the last 4 of the WC are usually the same. I would say though that it’s the same for most sports atm, nobody is watching games, ppl prefer 2 min YouTube highlights

Rugby feels like it’s dying. Six Nations hype is flat, URC & Premiership are shadows of their former selves, nobody takes Champions Cup seriously. A dull Lions tour, no Rugby Championship, and a weak Nations Championship instead of summer tests,hard to see who this excites.

@WestHamPlace Maybe VAR not being used properly. Blokes who man it look like they’ve never played football before. Use feet in line for offside. Only use it for absolute howlers

What is the single worst thing about football at the moment? Has to be VAR surely?

@EPLBible Can’t we just do it the feet are level they’re onside? Football is an entertainment business- why are we ruling out all goals? It’s a low scoring sport anyway compared to others

I’m sorry but how on earth is that offside… Burnley have been ROBBED at Old Trafford. 🫣

@ThtPedagogyGeek Awesome work buddy!

First Monday of the school year and some welcome news to kick off the new academic year. 🎤 Honoured to have been asked to present for a third year running at the Thailand Festival of Education 2025...

@leeharris @beverleyturner It was a similar story on itv news at 10. At least they mentioned the Sadiq Khan quote though

Just watched BBC News at 10. I kid you not, they left out literally EVERYTHING we saw today that embarrassed Keir Starmer. Not ONE of @beverleyturner's questions were covered. They edited them ALL out then started banging on about Gaza. The BBC are an absolute disgrace.

@JustMikeMcKay Fuck that!!!

@PoojaMedia He’s the football Rassie Erasmus ♟️

This is m@dness from Enrique 🤣

@Lewypayne Think there’s bigger clowns at Glastonbury this year mate 😬

@RedLipRiots Wonderfully written 👏

You want reasons to be proud of Britain? You need a bloody scroll. This island, windswept, rain-soaked, battered and brilliant built the modern world. From the battlefield to the bookshelf, from medicine to music, our legacy is thunderous. And if you're not proud of that? You're either uneducated, ungrateful, or unworthy of the blood and brilliance that made you. We gave the world Newton’s laws and Darwin’s theory. Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin on British soil and we saved millions of lives before half the world knew what antibiotics were. We split the atom, built the jet engine, cracked the DNA code and mapped the stars with Hawking’s mind. The Industrial Revolution? Ours. Without Britain, there’s no electricity grid, no trains, no factories, no global economy. From Shakespeare’s pen to The Beatles’ guitars, we didn’t just entertain the world we changed it. The Kinks, Bowie, Queen, The Rolling Stones our soundtracks shook the planet. Meanwhile, Orwell, Dickens, Austen and Tolkien defined entire genres. 1984, Oliver Twist, Pride and Prejudice, The Lord of the Rings still required reading everywhere civilised thought exists. We stood alone in 1940 when the rest of Europe buckled. Churchill’s roar held the line. The RAF held the skies. And ordinary Brits held their nerve in the Blitz while fire rained from above. We faced down fascism with tea, steel and sheer bloody minded defiance. And we didn’t just fight for ourselves we fought for freedom. Globally. Yes, mistakes were made during empire. But we also built railways, schools, hospitals, legal systems and entire infrastructures in places left in chaos by tribalism and colonial conquest from others far crueller. We brought medicine, education and governance to lands where disease, illiteracy and slavery were endemic long before the Union Jack arrived. The British Empire wasn’t perfect. But it wasn’t evil. And it sure as hell isn’t something to apologise for every five minutes. Rule of law. Habeas corpus. Free speech. Trial by jury. Parliamentary democracy. Those are British inventions. They're now the foundation of liberty around the world and they started right here. On this island. From Magna Carta to the mother of all parliaments. We didn’t just influence the world. We civilised it. Inspired it. Led it. And we can do it again if we remember who we are. So next time someone sneers at Britain? Remind them we invented the weekend, football, the internet, steam power, radar, punk rock, double deckers and gin and tonic. Our past isn’t shameful. It’s sacred. It’s not baggage. It’s a banner. So raise it. Own it. Defend it. Because our future depends on remembering our glory and living up to it. 🇬🇧

@RedLipRiots @marcuschown This is one of the best replies I’ve ever seen on X 👏

Marcus, put the history book down and step away from the hashtag hippie logic because this is the kind of pseudo intellectual slop that passes for wisdom in Guardian reading dinner parties and nowhere else. “Britain is an immigrant island”? No, mate. Britain is a nation. A civilisation. A culture forged over thousands of years of shared values, language, law and blood. It’s not a bloody airport lounge. You think waving the Romans about like it’s your A-level coursework proves a point? We weren’t built by mass immigration we were built by belonging. By people who became British, not just arrived here and asked what was on the menu. Immigration in the past was gradual, limited and integrated. What we’re dealing with now is a borderless free for all, where parallel communities grow like weeds, English is optional and anyone questioning it is smeared as a bigot. You want to know what made Britain great? It wasn’t “diversity.” It was unity. One flag. One law. One people bound by history, duty, and culture not a “vibrant mix” of Balkanised enclaves and Balkan baklava. Rome didn’t fall because it lacked diversity, Marcus. It fell because it forgot who it was and let others redefine it. So no you don’t get to rewrite our history to justify the destruction of our future. And you don’t get to hide behind Latin ruins while British people live in communities they no longer recognise. Britain’s not dying because of a lack of immigration. It’s dying because cowards like you sneer at the people trying to save it. We will carry the day.

Britain is an immigrant island. Has been since Roman times. It's the source of its energy, its vitality, its greatness.

@Lewypayne Happy birthday buddy!

Tough this birthday….😂😂🍺🍺

@Lewypayne He always shows for the ball and is unbelievable on it. They’re in the Champions league semi final so it can’t have been that bad a season. I don’t even like Arsenal lol

@777benh He’s scored 2 league goals this season I believe. A player of his ability should be getting double figures. Been poor this year….

Take some photos now Odegaard ya clown…..

@Lewypayne They’re a decent side Lewie. Happily take a draw away from home

I would have settled for a point before kick off. After 90 minutes I was gutted we didn’t get all 3 points. After 95 minutes I was delighted with a point. 😂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
