I managed to get a good niche crap pun about excellent British skeleton pilot Matt Weston, who is sliding very well, onto BBC Sport:
COME ON BORO, COME ON BORO, WE! ARE!TOPOTHELEAGUE! I SAY WE ARE TOPOTHELEAGUE (etc.) #diasboro #youcantakethemanoutofMiddlesbroughbutyoucan’ttaketheMiddlesbroughoutoftheman
...IT IS NOW!
With the 18th and final round ending up a high score draw, the lead of 650 remains intact, and it's not a play-off year, so...

A friend is staying with me this weekend for the excellent DASH 12. Their company and conversation this evening are more than worth a second, larger donation to the hated NUFC charity. Accountability at https://www.justgiving.com/charity/nufc (and see also two months ago).

Right now on Sunday 14/9/25: 586.

Ich nichten lichten, as Peter O'Hanraha-hanrahan would say.

Felt strange, might delete

Note to self: it’s good to be prepared but I probably have enough microwave rice for now
I went to this last year and had a lot of fun - a local government-themed pseudo-LARP, board games, talks and more. This year’s event is near Bethnal Green on Saturday 12th July. There is a very clear left-wing vibe but it works perfectly well just as a slightly unusual games day. (I’m not involved with organising at all, just an attendee.)

Nominal start-of-2025 total: 665.
End of Sunday 1/6/25: 545.
Right now on Sunday 15/6/25: 587. And a couple of hours ago it was more like 750.
Target for end of Sunday 22/6/25: 549.

So I have missed. What happens now? See the attachment. If I miss again, the next donation will be bigger.

Bollocks.
