So…what happened in the football?
Win or lose up the blues
#UCLFinal
I’ve heard/read a couple of Irish people use the word ‘yoke’ over the last couple of weeks, meaning something like ‘thingy’ or ‘wotsit’
Is it a recent usage?
I never heard any of the older Salisbury Irish people ever say it
Cudgelling my brains to focus on work this morning….but failing

I have strong opinions about people on the radio for no reason whatsoever.
There’s a bloke who’s not been on for a bit, and he’s perfectly likeable, good at his job, probably a lovely person, but he irritated me back in the 1980s and he irritates me still.
I’d forgotten the slightly sick feeling the week before a big final
I would have had it in the past about the FA Cup, too.
My word of the day today is ‘reckon’.
Unpopular opinion:
Fun Boy 3 > The Specials
It’s a bit niche, but still….a proper unpopular opinion, I reckon.
Right I think I might actually have an opinion that might justify that ‘Unpopular opinion.’ thing.
Remembering dear old Mark francois telling an army chap
“to sort their bloody selves out because if not Cummings is gonna come down and sort you out his own way and you won’t like it.”
I learnt this via this episode of Great Lives in which @frankcottrell_b talked about Tove Jannson
#TodayILearned that there is an underground Moomin ice sculpture cave in Finland
Today I am wondering whether there is an etiquette on when to send a message in @MicrosoftTeams and when to send a email in @Outlook t.co/mUnz0t4Pa…
