Sex Pistols announced today, with Frank Carter doing lead vocals. I’m tempted to go just to see 70yr old punks wondering around the place 🤣

We are digressing here but Blackburn historically has always been a ‘brewing town’. Whitbread, Thwaites, Duttons and Lions all had brewery’s in the town employing thousands of people. https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/news/16268836.pictures-looking-back-east-lancashire-breweries/

Where I served my time, a bloke in our shop said, if you started at The Station pub at Cherry Tree with a thimble of beer, then doubled up in every pub, you’d not get anywhere near the town centre due to being pissed. Backs your story up Rev.

Derby day in Sheff: A Welcome message for the lovely Mr Wilder and the queue outside Spoons in Hillsborough at 7.30am 🙃

They'll be moving back to United now after another capitulation at Anfield yesterday, but you point still stands Matty.

Good to see you posting @onlyonejackwalker Hope you are well 👍

I never felt more like singing the Blues, The Rover win, the burnley lose, Oh Rovers, you’ve got me singing the Blues.

Such a daft comment after the Indian series earlier this year, did you miss that series Tyrone? 2 of those tests alone produced over 3000 runs! and if the memory serves me correctly, we declared our first innings on 680 in another!

Its all about opinions.. Perth was always going to be a bit of a 'shoot out' for me, we usually win those types of games. On to Gabba next, well done Aussies, we'll get you next time, I hope!

They don't always 'Go for it' as we saw earlier this year against India. They play the opposition, most of the time we win, occasionally we lose, but we do have room for a draw or 2, I’ll give you that. We've scored over 800 against Pakistan, over 500 against NZ, over 500 against Zimb, winning many of these tests. Don't let the 'nay sayers' on here muddy the waters, the facts speak louder than the bullshit,

I believe its on BBC IPlayer from 6pm Tyrone? But your point still stands, where was that advertised.... I didn't bother with TNT this morning, I haven't enjoyed the coverage in the past, so I stuck with TMS on BBC Rdaio 5 Live Sports Extra and enjoyed that.

The pitch in Perth is very bowler friendly, I remember being shocked at the India score last year. It was like every bowl had soemthing on it and a wicket was about to fall. I can't see England doing anything different in 2nd Innings, a quick dash to 200 should see us home here.

Stokes has taken 5 wickets since tea! 121-9, can we clean them up before stumps?

17 wickets fell on day 1 of the India v Aus test match in Perth last year. Don't throw the towel in just yet.

Sunday nights in 70’s, although we couldn’t afford Matey bubble bath…

What point are you trying to make? I’ve no idea at this point, but I’ve not read all the thread?

Sold out!

Best fans in the world, seriously thinking of signing up again, nothing like following England away 🤔

Bellingham doesn’t fancy this tonight, laboured, looking disinterested. It’s not a great performance by any England player, but our superstar should be leading by example.

@Mattyblue Saw this earlier today, I know it’s been receiving rave reviews in US.

With Halifax Piece Hall on Blackburn train line, I’d thought I’d post upcoming events for next summer. https://www.ents24.com/halifax-events/the-piece-hall

Memories anyone?

@K-Hod keeps trying to fall out with me over politics and I can't allow it to happen, as he's now my go to guy for music, having switched me on to Fontaines DC, sort of. I need to know if an old Indie duffer like me is allowed to like Blossoms? Be honest, I need to retain my 'street cred' at all costs 😉
