I've just had an amazing idea

Worst thing about that is I can't even be angry at anyone. Everyone without exception worked their bollocks off. Win and it's a survival performance. It isn't to be though. The damage has already been done. #WBA

Saw a small chap lying motionless on a grassy bank beside the road this morning. I'm not the most wildlifey but it might have been a muntjac, maybe. Poor thing, I thought. Bit odd seeing something like that in Balsall Heath though.

As I got a bit closer to pass it, it was a scarf.

Did I miss something? There were a couple of snide comments on the Foundation's post about the iftar they held at the ground and the usual tossers in the club's Holi post last week.

Oh, poor kitty. Hope you're well.

Saw the FAWNL's announcement earlier while at the Halifax Women v Albion game this afternoon. How sad.

No drone has hit Wolverhampton. It's always looked like that.

I'm not even interested in wrestling anymore but this is small-minded, po-faced snobbery.

You can accept and appreciate the dedication to a craft even if you don't like the product. Imagine going to the cinema to watch a film and howling because the actors were pretending to be other people.

I did it for three years. It hurts when you do it right. It hurts even more when you get it wrong.

Is it a real "sport"? That depends on whether you define sport by being able to bet on it. Gravity, though, is very real. Injuries are very real and sometimes life-changing.

Try it before knocking.

Give Barry the Seal a good hard kick early doors then bully the kids.

Totally normal and rational response to a bit of gentle pushback.

Huntley dead, and the world is slightly less shit.

Don’t make a hero of his killer though. He’s already on a whole life sentence for three murders, including a five-month pregnant mother who he also raped.

Remember the victims of these foul men.

Injustice is an awful feeling tbh, like being trapped in a vise. Almost impossible not to vent. Hope you feel better soon.

Two forks, no knife sounds like a shock meme but it just means that my body clock is so off kilter that I'm eating faggots and roast spuds for tea at one in the morning and can't remember which piece of cutlery I've just picked up

Did you know that police research into cycling KSIs showed the victims were innocent in the majority of collisions? Did you also know that women, who are shown to follow the law more closely, are disproportionately killed in left hook collisions with HGVs exactly because they followed the law?

You'll probably just get some berk from the Association of Bad Drivers given a platform by BBC Shropshire to complain about vigilante cyclists. There was/is an account by a "Shrewsbury Pedestrian" on Twitter, continually complaining about bikes. Show them something like this: crickets.

I'll have a proper listen later that isn't trying to be quiet on my phone speaker but 'authentic' was my first thought. It clearly isn't the usual factory farmed guff the BBC loves.

Sure, politics plays a part but the UK routinely does shit at Eurovision because it enters smug, unlikeable shit by smug, unlikeable shits. I haven't listened properly but this seems to be none of that.

A white car blocking a footway near a zebra crossing. A woman pushing a pram along the carriageway to pass the obstruction. Behind it more cars parked on might be a very small forecourt.

A blue car parked on tactile paving between a beacon and road sign, as if it's waiting to use a zebra crossing. Behind it more cars parked on might be a very small forecourt.

That's the attitude behind US motorists killing 40,000 every year. Their passengers, other road users, kids, themselves. Selfishness. Just like the orange blob at the top. Callous, selfish malevolence.

US motorists kill 40,000 people every year. Their passengers, other road users, kids, themselves. And there's you crying about having to slow down sometimes. Grow up.

You should probably get the bus.

A massive car obstructing the footway, forcing pedestrians to walk close to or into the carriageway next to a busy main road on a junction frequently taken at excessive speed.

Saw a thing about pedestrian deaths doubling in the West Midlands. Unfortunately my local police are pathetic and let crap like this happen all the time.

Cheap populism. The Tories wasted billions in lost revenue by subsidising drivers with over a decade of fuel duty freezes.

Offer solutions to car dependency. Do better.
