Some of my recent Bluesky posts

The expanded World Cup has its pros and cons but a corner of every TAB in the land is decorated with a slew of Arab/Muslim world flags and that's pretty cool. Build your perfect multi then go stand under the flag of Iraq as it all falls apart in the 3.40 at Doomben.

There's a heavy frost on the south-facing side of our valley this morning. I pulled up the blinds to see someone about 300m away, on the steepest street; inching up towards their driveway on their hands and knees. They finally made it, stood up and hobbled into their house. #drama

Yesterday a workmate asked me at 4.30 'what's for dinner' and I answered honestly 'toast' but then on the way home I bought swordfish steaks, tomatoes, brussels sprouts and eggplant and I roasted the frick out of it all (plus pumpkin and halloumi) and it was amazing. Probably toast tonight tho.

I have finally looked up the lyrics of 'Arthur' by the Hoodoo Gurus, and 42 years later I can confirm that Arthur's cab was hit head-on by 'a black gelato van'.

Red rescinded card for US's #balogun: this is a joke tournament. Step by step FIFA are dismantling the status of the World Cup for short term grifts and political influence. Enlarge the cup, increase the money, lure in more participants and systematically deny them a fair run at the prize.

You're a footy fan in July 2016. You fall into a wormhole and drop out in 2026. Razor Ray Chamberlain is doing a post match interview with St Kilda's Jack Silvagni and says "as it stands now, you're inside the ten". How do you feel.
