Horrible weather this Friday night so a cosy evening in with a good book. Really enjoying @RobHadgraft’s tale of Luton’s rise from non-league to Premier League. Will the Edgeley Hatters complete the same journey soon…

At Luton when things go bad, they go really bad . . . . Imagine taking a penalty and the opposition goalkeeper saves your kick with one hand tied behind his back! 😲😲😲 (Pic: David Horn)

THROWBACK THURSDAY (No.361): This week’s vinyl on the turntable is a psychedelic antidote to the current grey weather! This “collaboration” features Colchester figure TWINK (Pink Fairies, Pretty Things, Syd Barrett, etc) & Italian band THE TECHNICOLOUR DREAM. Far out man. 📷📷📷

This morning's mist on the calm North Sea made the 'MPI Resolution' look like some sort of ghost ship as it headed into Harwich . . . (It's a wind turbine installation vessel from the Netherlands, I am reliably informed) 📷 🤓

#LutonTown's ground was hired last night by the FA for an U21 international, but the temporary hosts reportedly broke a promise by covering the lower half of this banner that hangs in the Main Stand. 😆All they've done is ensure it gets even wider exposure on social media! #coyh

Congratulations to comedian/author/Luton Town supporter OLAF FALAFEL @OFalafel, who told the joke voted 6th best at this year's Edinburgh Festival (!) 😆 Here it is: "My dad used to say to me 'Pints, gallons, litres' – which, I think, speaks volumes."

Belated thanks to editor @euancrumley for this double-page spread in @AthleticsWeekly. It actually appeared a while ago, but only caught my attention this week due to AW Archives being opened up! Nice for my ladies to be sharing pagination with newly-crowned Keely Hodgkinson! 😁

If not banned for trousering appearance money, British runner ALF SHRUBB would have won a bucket-load of Olympic medals! Instead, his legacy is an annual race in his name & a biography penned by me! 😁Cut-price signed hardback copies available from me @ £10 each (postage free).
