Tuned in to watch the @SkySportsWSL so wierd as the presenters have done nothing but tell me that the new manager for @ManUtdWomen is not as good despite winning g a title at Hearts.
Really shit to see pundits rip apart a new coach before first game.
I now want to see United win

I never knew Queen guitarist Brian May was an Astronomer.He’s exited about tomorrow nights eclipse, but he’s said it’s not a good time, to open your eyes, look up to the sky, and see…

3k swim done and traded in my old Pan European for a Harley.
Looking forward to many miles on this beauty.

[kieran smith @masonicfight]

My girlfriend is perhaps the greatest.
I have been after a bike for ages since I sold my last one.
She drive me to Liverpool to buy a new bike.
Love it and plenty of miles to come.

[kieran smith @masonicfight]

Been struggling recently. Not sure why.
Everything on paper is amazing.
My girlfriend who i love more than I could put into words is perfect, studying counselling is going well.

Just have had an off feeling

Can't describe it and yet I have to dust it off and stand firm.

Went to the bathroom in the hospitality lounge. They have Gender neutral bathrooms.
I am against this and not for any anti trans reasons.
It is hard to have a shit when a pretty woman walks in after you and takes the next cubicle.

[kieran smith @masonicfight]

So apt.
Trump is a nonce and Farage is a fuckwit.
I remember the good old days when Russia was a problem. Now they seem to run these two.

Any flag waving idiots who support this need to have a hard look at facts.

[John Nichol ✈ @JohnNicholRAF]

Long ramble:
I have been mulling if I should comment on President Trump's inane comments about NATO involvement in Afghanistan. Although 35 years ago, during the US-led first Gulf War, I was lying, handcuffed & blindfolded - literally 'shoulder to shoulder' - with a US colleague on a concrete floor in an Iraqi interrogation bunker, I rather feel it should be the current generation who express any anger at the President's ludicrous, demonstrably false utterings. Which is why I earlier shared some posts from others.
But perhaps I will reflect like this - I watched Trump's press conference in the wake of the terrible tragedy when a US helicopter collided with a civilian airliner last January in disbelief. 64 people lost their lives but it seemed to be about him - his expertise, his knowledge, what he thought had happened. Much of what he said was incorrect.
So I realised back then that it was going to be pointless trying to analyse any upcoming word-salads. Everything is clearly about him; his expertise in every subject, his grasp of all situations. His need to say something, anything, to show he is the best, the cleverest, the smartest, the most knowledgeable kid on the block.
The pub-bore, the braggart, the know-it-all, pontificates on anything and everything in the hope of bolstering their own, clearly very low, self-esteem.
I wonder that, in the President's mind, that it doesn't matter if what he says is factually correct? I wonder if he knows, understands, even cares, what is true? He is saying some words, which in his mind, seems to suggest that he's important and people will admire him, laud him. The fact that everyone around him then applauds this character trait, thanking him for his 'leadership' at every turn, just amplifies his desire, his need to continue. He's got want he wants - in his mind - attention, praise, admiration.
So to sum up, trying to analyse Trump's ramblings is like trying to play chess with a pigeon. Somewhat interesting at first, but ultimately, truly pointless and rather frustrating.
To those he has hurt, insulted, vilified, I send you my deepest condolences for your loss, and gratitude for your service.

[kieran smith @masonicfight]

I am working today and as such have no choice but to have the wolves v Nufc gsme on.
This is the worst game I have ever seen.
Boring, tedious and with lower skill than a 5th tier team.

[kieran smith @masonicfight]

@stillgame cant help but feel that on the live show with Winston using the ukelele they missed a chance to call it a uke a leg e !

[kieran smith @masonicfight]

Struggling a bit today. Yesterday I gave naloxone to a person who had overdosed. This is the long line of people I have seen overdose in my work life.
This one has really tipped the edge and I am struggling to not see a load of faces at night.

[kieran smith @masonicfight]

Remembrance day. Today I remember my friends who sadly lost their battle after war. God bless and I raise a glass today in their memories.

[kieran smith @masonicfight]

@Yorkshiregreen7 Cheers.

[kieran smith @masonicfight]

I continue to ask as I believe it makes me a better Christian and has deepened my faith. Do people still ridicule? 100 percent and now I have more compassion and empathy. They were where I was once. If you dont believe it is not going to impact me. God bless.

[kieran smith @masonicfight]

I used to be ashamed of my faith. I hid it from friends and family. Studying at uni has allowed me to explore my faith, ask difficult questions and yet still hold onto the absolute truth that Christianity provides. Do I still have questions? Yes and I continue to ask them.
