My two favourite bands these days are Drug Church and The National, and, honestly, I think that’s all you need to know about me.

Far right violence made easier to organise by *checks notes* dodgy social media and… national print journalism.

Right, this is going to be my only semi-serious #Tramlines tweet this year - from the POV of a local resident who’s been going on and off since 2014.
It’s a good festival. It’s fun. Ticket prices are reasonable for a three-day festival.
I’m sure there will also be some cynical PR with spurious claims about economic benefits (with no data and a nebulous time period). And there won’t be any reference to the horrendous damage to the park last year. But there’s nothing I can do about that either.

I’m going to enjoy it with family as usual. Because it’s good.
But it could be better because it HAS been better - and there are people (including @SheffCouncil) who could do something about that.
Have a good weekend if you’re also going! 🎉

Look at the awesome work @tramlines are doing to promote local businesses around Hillsborough. Really don't understand why people complain about the no re-entry policy when stuff like this is happening 😍

Like, you don't HAVE to buy the more expensive food and drink during the time when the no re-entry policy is active. You can just have lots before you go in and then it's fine.
Honestly. Some people just complain about everything.

And local businesses are obviously in support of #tramlines. None of them have complained about the no re-entry and they all think it's a great idea.

When I am supreme ruler of the universe I will make it a criminal offence to (1/n):
Ban people from stopping or slowing down in shop doorways. Punishment will be to have all the entry points in their homes fitted with really slow and overly-sensitive revolving doors.

On a serious note though, Southgate has been one of the best managers the national team has ever had - on several levels.
Progression through competitions better than anyone bar one. Probably similar for penalty shoot-outs too.

Sure, he didn’t win anything with supposedly excellent players - but nor has anyone else for almost 60 years. And he got closer than anyone, multiple times.

Postgraduate funding is a mess.
So what do prospective students actually try to do about it?
