The Bar Fly

I thought about a joke last night while watching Only Connect. Here it is. #onlyconnect @VictoriaCoren

@markismith50 So that’s what you were doing with your quiet night in!

They were quick out of the blocks with the postbox topper on my street on Consett! 👏

Tree down and blocking one of the Balgreen roundabout exits #edinburgh #StormÉowyn @EdinburghLive_

@Filmoar @MariahCarey I’m with her on this one.

@MariahCarey @thebarfly

To those asking…. Not yet!!!

@theAliceRoberts Would you be willing to share where you got your amazing snake dress you wore on House of Games??

I’m so excited. I’m going to get see some incredible archaeology over the next week. I might share it with you!

@drpeterjbrown @90sFootballUK1 Now that I’ve told everyone I know (several times) I’m reduced to telling everyone I don’t know.

USA 94 Final. Not a great game but a great crowd.

@estherabrami @Ryanair @aeroportmp New marketing slogan: “Travel Ryanair: no strings”

I was refused boarding on a Ryanair flight with my 200 years old violin today. On my way to Berlin, departing from Marseille to record my third album with Sony, this is the first time I have experienced such rudeness and public humiliation. @Ryanair @aeroportmp

@Filmoar Saving that second pic for the work group chat.

The things you find in an old Uni bag...

There were lots!

Anyone know where these fantastic muscle cars were coming from/going to while driving through Edinburgh this evening? #musclecars #edinburgh #carshow

@Filmoar We made a similar start last season then won the league . . . 👀

Or Dundee United. @thebarfly

If I was Queen of the South fan, I'd be very worried for the season ahead.

Please play Reach by S Club 7. It’s what the punters want. #heist #heistawards #heist24

Someone in the British Heart Foundation shop on Lothian Road in Edinburgh having a bit of fun here #borisjohnson #nadinedorries #GeneralElection2024

@StevenIsserlis @LumoTravel New marketing slogan: “Travel Lumo. No strings.”

Wow - trains worse than planes! A guard on this @LumoTravel train spotted my (safely stowed) cello, and ordered me to go and stand with it in the corridor (for 3 ½ hours). Musical instruments aren’t allowed - if I’d seen you on the platform I wouldn’t have let you on.’ Charmed…

@markismith50 Good result!

🇬🇷 Watching Olympiakos in a European final in a bar in Greece, and fair to say it’s a bit lively! 🍺 YAMAS!

@markismith50 @knobblymonsters That is tremendous. It’s made me LOL several times already. Good shout.

@thebarfly Think you’d appreciate the output of @knobblymonsters.

You’ve got to love the ooh-aah Daily Star. That intro! 😂👏

@BBCTheOneShow Thanks! I’ve popped over an email.

@thebarfly Hi there. Steve Backshall will be on the show on Friday and if your son has a question for him we’d love to ask it. Drop us an email at theoneshow@bbc.co.uk and one of the team will get back to you. Thank you!

My 7yo son loves Deadly Predators on iPlayer so much that he has made this amazing set of Top Trumps. Hope Steve likes them! #stevebackshall #iplayer #deadlypredators #toptrumps

@markismith50 Just booked our summer holiday in Whitley Bay. I’ll hold you personally responsible if it’s not fantastic.

Reading this while sat having a cold beer outside a beautiful lodge by a river in the Co.Durham countryside. We’re so lucky to live in this region…
