I've set up a 'Mastodon' account, mainly to make sure that I can keep the same handle:
@drcjhand@mastodonapp.uk
I have no idea how it works, and no time in the near future to learn.
Not leaving Twitter.

Genuinely sorry that things didn't go better this season. What Rob Edwards and the team have achieved in the past couple of seasons will not be forgotten. The impact on Luton as a town has been tremendous. Good luck for what comes next #COYH

We can confirm that Rob Edwards has left his role as manager by mutual agreement.

This January, @LuckySaintBeer is proclaiming βThou Shalt Go To The Pubβ, giving away 100,000 pints of their golden lager across participating pubs in the UK.
Why? Because, Lucky Saint believe the greatest reward of drinking is the social connection, not the alcohol.

If you're feeling a bit hopeless or pointless as we approach the New Year, just remember that there's someone in Germany who spends their days putting indicators on BMWs.

Other than the "45" bit, this could've been me (I was 34 when Eric was born). I was walking through Morrisons the other day, saw a display for Babycham, and a bit too loudly said -- to no-one in particular -- "Babycham! Booze for t'baby!"

I've just become a father for the first time at 45. Every time I meet someone as I'm holding her I say the old Reeves & Mortimer line "'ave yer got any booze for t'baby". Not only does nobody get it, which makes me feel ancient, but I think she might end up being taken into care.

This answers the question βWhat were the 70s like?β better in two minutes than I could answer it with a thousand words. Quite likely the best thing youβll see today. Just trust me.

As is traditional in Ireland during big storms, we all await a news story from a windswept reporter that has been tied to a lamppost in Salthill while some gobshite in the background flies a small dog like a kite as the waves smash over a poorly parked Ford Focus

Some game at Easter Road. Hibs Hibsed it, then Aberdeen Hibsed it, then Hibs Hibsed it again, before Aberdeen Hibsed it right at the death. Unbelievable.
