Looks like a hydration break provided by God just before the half time break of France vs Iraq!

Had a skip hire delivered today as we're getting a new 'garden building' in a space that has been stood there intended for such a purpose for...21 years now :D so all the previous mismatch of bricks and building materials sat there all that time are being chucked out and then the work can start...

Amusingly after all the tracking Sky did of the train they didn't think of the side exit so surprised several hundred normal passengers instead with some media fame, the BBC got a platform interview presumably because some of their staff were on the train!

Somewhat amusingly on the railways Andy will at least be able to claim some delay repay as his 10:55 Avanti Manchester Piccadilly - London Euston journey to Number 10 has been delayed over 20 minutes and counting! https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:W34095/2026-06-22/detailed

Wes Streeting has just backed Andy Burnham so I guess that'll mean no leadership contest requirement

The problem with reviews in general is if you have a positive experience with something you're far less likely to bother writing a review than a negative experience so they never provide a balanced platform

My money is on the podium being set up outside Number 10 later for some waffle from Kier (including the odds on favourite 'let me be clear') although perhaps nothing *too* extreme announcement wise...yet

I guess your opinion will differ slightly depending on if you live near one of the more 'niche' stations that open access serve! Pontefract Monkhill to London is great for me as my front door to Pontefract Monkhill by car is 10 minutes at most, 2 hours later I'm in London Wakefield and/or...

My experience 10 years ago was a little bit of a culture shock at first having worked in a senior role at a place for 8 years straight - I quit without having another job lined up despite interviewing for several in the months leading up but there had been some management changes and the like...

Even from a neutral perspective it was a fantastic game of football! Dominik Livakovic gets a special mention for his superhuman goalkeeping in the second half!

France vs Senegal was certainly 'a game of two halves'!

I had a lucky win in the casino once and they just paid in £50 notes packaged up in little bags with the paper count seal around them, I suddenly felt like a billionaire for a moment! In the end I think I just kept them in the house until they were bringing out the new design note then I took...

Feels like nobody is that bothered at the moment, I guess it all depends on how England does otherwise I can't see the pubs having much custom at 2am or whenever the matches are!

I decided to visit a 'coffee shop' in Amsterdam, after a few 'sips' of my 'coffee' I felt nothing until a few minutes later when my vision just turned into a dizzy blur and next thing I collapsed and passed out in the middle of Amsterdam! I came back round after what felt like hours (in reality...

Every man and their dog seem to reckon they're the next Trotters Independent Traders these days for some reason, so the casual charity shop customer has already been beaten to anything of value by the 'resellers' (or in some casses probably even the staff!) - same at the car boot sale they're...

Noticed the same issue myself on the Leeds - Sheffield via Castleford route the other week, although I somehow doubt Northern will bother claiming for a few scratches on their 42 year old Class 150s :D I guess it is quite hard to keep greenery trimmed down especially in this warm weather and...

Full credit to the driver of the 141 service leaving Leeds this evening who with their lightning quick reactions prevented a head on crash with an absolute idiot of a motorist that decided they were in such a rush to get petrol they turned in straight in front of the bus! It was probably the...

Went to the Morrisons at Leeds Merrion earlier and they had the fancy expensive booze cabinets with a notice stuck over or above the 'press for assistance buttons' with 'doors are open just take what you want and pay at the checkout' so that idea obviously ended up a bit of a waste of time!

1017 Sheffield to Carlisle on Sunday 2133 Nottingham to Leeds on Sunday (the unusual part being it does Sheffield - Leeds slow all stations route)

Not *technically* a ticket I guess but...Promise to Pay? (Northern)
