@Nath_Brudenell @thecourettes @RiskeeRidicule Tremendous show. Saturday night with The Fabulous Courettes, muthafuckas.
Guitarist Flavia Couri: lively, provocative, seductive & sexy... orchestrated the crowd to let her crowd-surf, whilst still playing muthafuckin' guitar. Powerhouse Danish drummer Martin Thorsen. Dynamite!

@docrussjackson I was a lefty student on my first job in industry in 1977. My line manager & his boss broadened my education. One brought in R-TP & lent me it. Soon after, I bought my own copy & one for my mum, whose dad held stump-speaking politicians to account. A book that opened my eyes.

@GrahamSmyth This would be an outstanding signing. Paixao was Eredivisie Player of the Season and featured in Champions League. Feyenoord are 'only' in CL Qualifying stage this year.
It's an ambitious attempt.

@scroby69 @cymru777 @GrahamSmyth Who were the two left-sided wingers last season?

[pendulum27 @jimramsdenx]

@NewLeftEViews @adam_tooze There are no birds called seagulls.
BUT those gulls that work the English seaside resorts, stealing sandwiches, chips etc., are despicable.

I mainly dislike pigeons because some of them steal food meant for smaller birds from our garden feeders.

@Aplodge @BearlyPolitics @i_iratus It is; that, or octopuses; and not octopi, which I thought it was in my youth.

@stemaclufc55969 @BerenCross Good question.
He looked good, when he had his few chances to play. People say he's not a full-back. Could he be a wing-back if we play (sometimes) with three CBs?
Ultimately, I'd trust the judgment of coaching staff who see him regularly in training & around the squad.

@docrussjackson This is about your argument and not about where my politics lie.
IF Glastonbury is a music festival THEN having Rod Stewart play there is reasonable (so long as he sticks to the music).
Comparing Glasto to the explicitly political Reform UK conference is unfair, in this context.

@GrahamSmyth Is this the Habib Diarra who scored for Senegal against England earlier this evening?

If so, he might cost a bit more after the transfer window reopens.

@TheKopHQ @ant_key81 @DrNeilStone Understood.
We also have a Kop but not so widely known.
Looking forward to meeting you next season, I remember the remarkable 4-3 season opener, when Bielsa took us up.

[pendulum27 @jimramsdenx]

@TheKopHQ @ant_key81 @DrNeilStone Whoosh?!

Loved your Gascoigne gag but wonder whether you missed the Kiev reference

Or have I missed some even cleverer goujons thing?

@kirkstallbrew @europebarguide @WhitelocksLeeds How's it all coming along?
We're itching to see the new Vic, especially after the great work done with Cardigan Arms and Black Horse in Otley.
And this time you've got Whitelocks involved too.
All the best.

@VincentRowlatt @docrussjackson Until you posted that, mine was:
"Death is the possibility that ends all one's possibilities."
I found the linked article from The Conversation to be easy to understand and somewhat profound. I will send the link to a couple of friends, so that we can discuss it. Thank you both.

@afneil Nay lad, tha misunderstands. Richy were talking about t'ledge end, using a common contraction from 'uddersfield.
No doubt referring to the way you can take marginal positions and present coherent arguments that support you at that ledge end.
I'll get me coat.

@docrussjackson See how rubbish an X/Twitter user I am...I should have put @DylanDifford
Sorry Mr Difford.

[pendulum27 @jimramsdenx]

@docrussjackson In case you're not familiar with Dylan Difford's excellent work on electoral systems, here's a link to his article arguing that the most politically stable democracies use PR.

[pendulum27 @jimramsdenx]

@docrussjackson I broadly agree with your analyses. Immigration did NOT dominate political discourse in Britain for the few/several years until it regained some traction prior to last Gen Election. See work by @robfordmancs. How Labour & others might have prevented its re-emergence is important.

@docrussjackson @prospect_uk Frederick Douglass, 'What to the slave, is the Fourth of July?' Only in the last few years have I realised how much can be learned and applied from Douglass's writings and his life story.

@Nath_Brudenell Odd that an unknown, captures my Brudenell feelings. From my first visit, it's been special...friendly people let me back through with handfuls of drinks. So many bands say it's their fave venue & mean it. Nathan: the Paul Madeley of music venues. Lights, glass collecting...
