Good to see Arsenal play ugly, and having the minerals to take Newcastle on at their own game with time wasting, slowing the game down. Jorginho bossed it in midfield giving us an extra dimension, with Xhaka and Odegaard. We all too often play predictable pretty football with a million passes, it’s time to see something new, shame it didn’t happen against Citeh.

If we reach 90pts after 38 league matches, I’d be happy with that.

what aload of bollocks..

I’m still convinced our mum fenced all our silver jubilee medals in 2003 when she went on a carribean cruise

Victoria Park / St Agnes Gate skating.. sunshine here, tunes, for coronation roll out

Edit: great vibe, crowd.
Hopefully we will be back 28th May..

Most of the bunting around East Han town Hall and Central Park to my eye seem to have union flag displayed upside down if I’m reading it from the street from left to right. Maybe I’m being too critical, maybe I’m wrong, or should not give a toss.

St John’s Ambulance staff who worked yesterday methinks. Other key workers, I don’t think so.

David Olusoga made a good point yesterday about public perception of the Windsors..

Do not confuse those who are indifferent with those wanting anarchy or have pro republic views. The royal family just ceases to be relevant for many.

I don’t doubt that some of the royals are good patrons, but on a whole don’t relate to everyone in the UK

Those meals.. call it £25 each x 400,000.. £10M we fucking know how to spunk public money..

commemorative medals being dished out yesterday? What a load of tosh.. for key workers??? what about paying them a decent salary

Everyone actively contributing and supporting the Coronation on 6 May - including choristers, police officers, military personnel and St John Ambulance personnel - as well as those directly involved in the delivery of the Coronation are eligible.

It will also be given to serving frontline members of the police, fire, emergency services, prison services and armed forces that have completed five full calendar years of service. It is expected that more than 400,000 Coronation Medals will be issued.

Too much regalia for me..

my only thoughts were the Windsor Grays tugging the jubilee carriage from buck house..

Horse 1 - blue ffs.. what happened to the crimson red gear we usually wear??

Horse 2 -be grateful it’s not citeh sky blue.. this coach is better than that gold jalopy we’ve been hauling for years.. oh wait

Absolute scenes in Naples, according to my cousin. Less so for the Genoese as Sampdoria crashing out of Serie A.. madness

during his pro career, he was one of several riders asked to strip for examination by the soigneur Raymond Le Bert, who normally worked for Louison Bobet. Wadley wrote:

It would be wrong to say that the company laughed when he stood there in his underpants, but there were certainly some smiles because in contrast to his lithe, clean-limbed predecessors at the examination, he looked a short, fat boy.

Le Bert, however, did not smile. Immediately he exclaimed: 'Ah ha, now this is really a rock. He is a real flahute. (French term for old-type tough Flemish roadman.)

Tian Tian Market, Canning Town..
could I find quality Tonkotsu broth??

Maybe I’ll try again this weekend, unless anyone knows of a stockist in East London.

Maybe the Shoryu shop in Westfield Stratford, it’ll be $$$$ for sure.

I certainly won’t be making broth with pork neck bones from scratch.. 12 flipping hours on a rolling boil can >>>>

RIP Linda you performed with some great artists, and can own the stage anywhere

wunderbar!

Thanks Pifko, having a Strat now for a few years. So playing the Redondo is comfortable on the fretting hand. Just need to crane my neck abit as I’m still looking at my fret hand position and it’s not as close to the body.

Gorgeous finish and colour with a Dunlop flame strap has turned heads too.

I just didn’t play the Sigma at all, I think it’s too good for me. Also my learning focus has been on the Strat. The Redondo was pre owned by my teacher. We talked about playing acoustic and what that means. This year my learning focus is on rhythm and strumming patterns. On a whole I want a guitar I can take to the streets or park without being too precious about it. So expect a large marajuana leaf sticker on the Redondo and a bunch of reggae tunes :)

fabulous ^

Fender Redondo had its first outing this evening, with a 90 min lesson unplugged. What a joy to play, big acoustic sound, the size and depth of the dreadnought body will take a bit of getting used to, but I am totally in love with it. This weekend gonna plug into the Vox amp on full blast

Mrs M has polished off our bottle.. thanks for the reminder, glad you are enjoying it. One maybe two ice cubes I reckon is enough, saviour it’s like a fine single malt whisky/whiskey

Watch Arsenal throw away a 3-0 lead..

For sale, great condition, great sound, hardly used. Collect from E6 London £200 cash

Incredible and heartbreaking story from Duwayne Brooks.
