Hopefully people will take heed and move on from this now. Danny has/had his reasons and it's time to move forward from it now; he's happy, we're happy, nothing more to be said. No reason for him to get abuse tomorrow, for sure.

Incredibly blessed to have done this gig on Saturday night. Two fantastic bands, getting better as they get older, and bringing so much energy into their music. Second time I've seen @suedeHQ , seventeenth time of the @Manics and better than ever. Anyone going is in for a treat!
Parkrun ✅ OPTA match ✅ Gig next…. Manic Street Preachers and Suede at Co Op Live - Manics for a record equalling 17th time!! And cookies & cider for tea! ❤️

Race was called “Striders Trail 5”. The 5 stands for 5 mile, not 5k which I only found out half way round! 🙃 All good though! 😄
Another Sunday, another run but this one’s different! It’s my first ever trail run, just a 5k! Trail running will be a good variation on the marathon training and will surely help if I come across any tree trunks, squirrels or muddy rivers on the London course!😉

Wait! What??
Replying to @BigDaveWHUFC
There were only 2 games in Britain in season 04-05 than finished 7-1. Rangers V Dundee United and Man City V Barnsley. The same two goalkeepers played in both games - Ronald Waterreus for Rangers and City, Nick Colgan for Dundee Utd and Barnsley.

I stunk the place out in @OfficialFPL last season but I've hit a new low this week! 🤣 After my first four players had played, I had 20 points. The other seven added a further six points to my tally. What a time to be alive!
