@CarlBovisNature Similar… I don’t think he was all that impressed about having his picture taken

Face off!

Just a few tickets left for this night of great live music

@devsglos Best selling Gloucester rugby mug of all time (probably)

Yes it is! Special evening for anyone who was there ...still talked about with passion now...

@DanEtchells 👏👏👏 A career as a political commentator awaits, Dan!

1. No, we aren't. 2. No, it hasn't. 3. No, we don't. 4. No. 5. Bullshit. 6. Bullshit. 7. Utter bullshit. 8. #GetInTheSea

@RyanWalkinshaw @gloucesterrugby Hammer meet nail.

My word it’s depressing watching @gloucesterrugby these days. So much clearly needs to change, and change fast. Starting with fresh investment and owners that actually have some ambition.

@jditommaso72 I cannot imagine how the parents of an old school friend, who joined the RAF and went down with his plane, would have felt when they heard T Rumps comments. They - and everyone else who served - deserve an apology. Never going to happen though is it.

Came in one morning, JOCwatch was going like a final scores vidiprinter as French forces had been in a non stop firefight following an ambush that went on for about 20 hours with a few KIAs...

Stayed a little back, a little off the frontlines…

@Mikes_Brother @RussBrookes1981 Fair to say it lived up to its acronym: Bust Out Another Thousand….

@bobfenton57 @RussBrookes1981 You did send me a picture

We are now so bad we cannot qualify for the tier two European rugby comp which is about as bad as this

@Mikes_Brother @RussBrookes1981 You never saw the one I had in Abu Dhabi, Rob.

@RussBrookes1981 There is NOTHING wrong with a speedboat.

@DanEtchells A perfect picture!

🙌🙌🙌👏👏👏

@dave_stokes1 Went to see that show earlier this year. It’s really good, very funny and factual all at once.

Everyone who was around on the day of ‘Live Aid’ knows exactly where they watched it, and has their own special memories. The musical ‘Just for one Day’ relives this magic… and wow… what an amazing show it is. It’s probably one of the best musicals I have ever seen!

I’ve held back from commenting on the revelations about Nigel Farage’s past racism. Not because the story shocked me. For many in this country, it merely confirms what we’ve suspected for years. But some will be hearing these allegations for the first time, and it’s to you that I want to speak. Most of us have said or done things when we were young that we look back on with regret. That’s part of growing up. We make mistakes, we cringe at our former selves, we learn, we change. Some of those early attitudes fall away. Others become the foundations of who we later become. What’s now emerging about Nigel Farage isn’t a single stupid comment or one heated moment. Former classmates are describing a pattern of behaviour. Not just a bully. A racist bully of the ugliest kind. That doesn’t automatically mean he holds every one of those views today. But look at his politics. Look at his rhetoric. Look at the company he keeps and the division he trades in. It paints a picture of a man whose worldview didn’t appear to grow out of those foundations, but grew from them. So what does that mean now? If you already oppose Farage, this only hardens your resolve. If you adore him, nothing I say will shift you. But there’s a group of people I do want to reach: those considering voting Reform. I’m not going to patronise you. I understand why many are thinking about it. If you’ve watched your pay stall, your bills rise, your community decline, and your politicians shrug for years, you might well think: what have I got to lose? Why not give the system a kick? Why not try something different? And you may feel the country has taken a wrong turn. That we’ve lost something precious and need to put it right. Those instincts aren’t wicked. They aren’t racist. They come from frustration, disappointment, and a desire for dignity and control in your own life. But here’s the truth that cannot be dodged. Most people in this country are good, decent, fair-minded. They don’t want to see hate imported into the heart of their politics. They don’t want their children growing up in a country defined by fear and division. So ask yourself this, quietly and honestly: is Nigel Farage a changed man? Has he shown any sign that he regrets the person he was? Or has he built a career by sharpening those same instincts into a political weapon? Because if he hasn’t changed, then every vote for Farage isn’t a protest. It’s permission. It hands real power to a man whose teenage cruelty seems less like a phase and more like a blueprint. This country is far from perfect, but it is worth fighting for. And once a politics of hatred takes root at the top, a country doesn’t easily come back from it. You know this in your gut. We all do. Nigel Farage is not fit to lead this country. A vote for him, or for those who still cheer the views he held as a teenager, would stain the country we love with something we may never fully wash away. And to the Reform diehards who will now pile into the comments with abuse: crack on. You’ll only prove the point.

@WaspsFC A great bloke and an even better friend. Rest well, buddy.

@DanEtchells ‘Delusions of adequacy’ 👏👏👏

Narrator: Actually - as so often - it is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon (a jumped up, drug addict, racist with delusions of adequacy) who has fuelled racial tensions, problems and flashpoints in this country...

@Peterbaxendal10 Like a lot of sports, Pete. Once they become ‘corporate entertainment’ the old crowd dies and people wait to be entertained. That and constant blaring ‘music’ killing the atmosphere.

Going to a football game is like shopping in a shopping mall. Same shops and same regurgitated songs being half heartedly belted out. What ever happened to original clever football chants and songs.

@DanEtchells Or as the mighty Lou Reed said: ‘We’re coming out…. Out of the closets…’

Siri, show me a definition of fragile, insecure, masculinity... Top tip - 'fluent in 3+ languages' - there's almost certainly a number - you know, an integer - which could replace '3+'... Absolutely tragic 🔔🔚

Last year I lost my father-in-law to dementia, so this month I’m cycling 300 miles for Dementia UK – starting on Sunday with a few 100 km down the Danube. If you spare a few £ for this great cause it would be much appreciated! fundraise.dementiauk.org/s/7913/8015/t

@DanEtchells Was trapped in B&Q car park (I know how to live) for an hour before leaving the car there and walking home.

The road closure at Over really is making Gloucester's traffic terrible - queues everywhere - avoid, if you can!! Tewkesbury Road / Castle Meads Way / St Oswalds / Gouda Way / The Quay / Commercial Road / Southgate all a shit show!!

@Peterbaxendal10 A few pix to go with your video…

A fabulous night at the Prince Albert Stroud . Thanks to the crowd who came out in numbers. Thanks to Swill and Bobby for a night to remember. The Albert and staff are just the best.

@Mikes_Brother Not helpful if you car is in long stay tho…

@Mikes_Brother Just got back in time!

Wow. Welcome to Stansted... 🤯
