@BigRosco91 4% of land in Britain is public land. It's about 25% in Europe and the USA, 30% in South America and around 75% in Asia. Britain has one of the world's worst records for public land access.

Brits are so cucked into believing that this is pretty. My whole life growing up in the UK I was taught that this is "nature", the "country-side". It's not. It's an industrial estate.

@RK4668265953873 @MartinH1892 @KP24 So you would prefer a 2130 sunset instead of say 2230 come July and have an unusable hour of daylight at 0330?

@pieandbov You could probably automate round-ups with a Claude code skill that creates an X draft for you to check before posting.

TLDR; Expect less shite from me
Decided it's now time to start winding down the amount of time I spend on here.
Twitter used to be a great laugh, but it's an absolute shambles now, full of fucking bots & spam, a lot of the good guys have already gone, and any engagement you do get tends to be almost universally toxic.
It's just shite to be honest.
I can't be arsed with it any more. I'm an old fucker and this feels like a colossal waste of my time and energy these days. I've better things to be doing.
Hard to give it up completely, so I won't be doing that just yet, but I'm not gonna bother with the really time consuming drivel any more.
That starts with the midweek micro previews and the Sunday morning round up - they take fucking ages and let's be honest - nobody really cares whether they're posted or not - so I'm sacking those off immediately.
Can't bin the whole account in the middle of the best title race for a million years and ahead of the first Scotland appearance at a World Cup in two million years but I'll give that some more thought in the Summer.
Get it up you all.

Absolute mess by @ScotlandNT @ScottishFA buying tickets. Try to buy tickets, someone already got them. My page will not allow me to remove them, won't refresh, won't allow me to proceed with them sitting there.
Outcome? Kicked out after 15 minutes and back to start of the queue

English

@SSCMembers website a shambles. Had to log out, log in and rejoin queue as had 5 seats stuck to my account which couldn’t be deleted no matter what I tried.

The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) is set to meet early next month to Review Brazils Participation in the #WorldCup2026

@ZohranKMamdani Should be 15% for locals and 15% for fans of competing teams..the ones that have travelled home and away to WC qualifiers over the last 2 years.
English

A $60 "supporter ticket" for 1.6% of seats isn't enough. Not when FIFA just set the highest ticket prices in World Cup history.
Thousands spoke up demanding that this be a tournament that New Yorkers can afford.
Here's what we actually need: end dynamic pricing, cap resale prices, and set aside 15% of tickets for local fans at a discount. The beautiful game must be for everyone.

@DisappointedNo1 @AlexiLalas I read that if an England fan missed one game in last 4 years, he/she would probably miss out on cheaper tickets. Crazy! Those fans should rightly be rewarded but the number of available affordable tickets is shocking.
English

@AlexiLalas Seems weird to make the cheapest tickets available only to fans who are wealthy enough to afford trips to Latvia, Serbia and Andorra during qualifying.
English

That's fine. Federations will determine whatever purity tests they want to use to define "loyal fans" who deserve the limited lower priced World Cup tix. But it's just a different exclusive and privileged group benefitting. New fans and/or young fans, need not apply.
Alan@alanhood77
@AlexiLalas There are well established point systems based on who attends home and away games for many European nations.
English

@AlexiLalas Just stop for over 5 years @ussoccer has been sending mailers telling us who’s “bought” the privilege to get this - pay to be “US Soccer Insider” $10k a year for highest “Presidents Circle” status and most advantages
My 40 years of going to NT games means less than $$$ for them
English

No idea how Federations will determine the "loyal fans who are closely connected to their national teams" who will qualify for the limited lower priced tix. Sounds like each Federation will decide the criteria they'll use. But it enables FIFA can defer to Federations.

@AlexiLalas @ussoccer How does this even get measured?
