@footballcliches.bsky.social another rapid occurrence of the commentators's curse. Alan Smith on Man City v Bournemouth saying Bournemouth had had a confident start, immediately before City scored. Smith finished speaking on 16:18, by which time Haaland was through on goal- ball was in net on 16:23.

@mancity.com Please reinstate the worker you unfairly sacked for wearing a Man U shirt. I've never been so ashamed to be a City fan. This was a bit of fun. In a democracy we have free speech and free thought.

The support AfD has makes it the main opposition. Right now, it matters more to see where their vote is coming from. European democracies have and will accommodate fascists in government, often with dire consequences. They won't accommodate the far left. Media is telling us the most important thing.

This will be a birthday gift for me in may. Looking forward to reading it, the excerpt is intruiging.

Great, hope you enjoy it!

*previous but precious works too

A story is never finished. The "final" published form is an illusion imho

I recommend my website but its very niche, only for those who like the Rick Berry genre, and notifications are very sporadic.

I am holding my book. There's not much else to say. It's just brilliant.

Nice work

Sounds like a great experience
