  1. All'inizio della stagione, la vittoria della #PremierLeague da parte del #Leicester era data 5000-1. E invece, il 2 maggio 2016, con la guida di #ClaudioRanieri, si realizzò l'Impossible Dream - Video Dailymotion dailymotion.com/video/xa0cclk

  2. Gooooood morning tooters!

    I'm awake too early again - not that I had a great night's sleep. My shoulder is hurting - maybe I slept on it awkwardly, or maybe it was the digging yesterday.

    #Today? you ask (or not).
    I've got to take Sacha's car to the garage for its annual service and first MOT . It's a peculiarity of #motability that before you hand the car back at the end of the lease it has to be serviced and have an MOT certificate.

    So, I'll take it to the garage, get the bus home, and after lunch I'll go into #leicester city centre to mooch about until they ring me to say it's ready, and then get the free city bus up to the garage.

    It's a bit of a pain, but it's maybe a chance to do some sketching in town, and maybe buy a new pair of pyjamas (with fully working elastic at the waist). I'll also get a bit of exercise with the walking around.

    Make the most of your Maundy Thursday

  3. My wife was advised to start looking for her next #motability car much earlier than usual - so we've been to visit 4 car dealers in #leicester today.

    Three of the four had no disabled parking places available for their customers.
    Vauxhall & MG had cones preventing access to the disabled spaces.
    Renault had no parking spaces for anyone - the only obvious disabled space had a demonstrator car parked in it.
    Hyundai passed the test (and were extremely welcoming & helpful).

    I think this shows how they view not only their disabled customers, but all customers.
    It's a disgrace.

    More next week.

  7. Last night the BBC aired a Panorama investigation into fast fashion giant Boohoo.

    The revelations were worse than we feared. 13 hour days, forced overtime, and deceitful subcontracting.

  11. “Savage Mechanic kicks off with some awesome synth sounds before a funky bassline kicks in, and this mixed with the organ sound gives the song a certain swagger right from the start.” @themetalpriestess for Metal Asylum

    A certain swagger.

  12. “This piece is a perfect mix between past and present. The Garage Rock sounds will remind you of the great hours of rock of the 70s, while modern production brings a touch of freshness and modernity.” @iggymagazine

  15. Art. Appropriation. Debasement. Prefer a pen or a sword?

    Late this September, Culture War 23 begins. The new LP by 9 o’clock Nasty, on vinyl, CD and streaming. All killer and then a little bit more killer. Giving it 105%

    Hegemony has a price

  16. Pull on the robes of stolen valour. Your secret is safe with us. Savage Mechanic, you won the bakeoff, you fought for Queen, King and Country on foreign fields and they did indeed name a street after you in some dusty remote corner of the Earth.
