Four years ago I saw @BarPreachers for the first time, supporting @Interruptweets at Nottingham, they were an excellent band; I’ve seen them about ten times since! Superb live act. Proves why it’s always important to check out the support bands.

I’m just waiting for @FIFAcom to announce Ismail Elfath to be a late change to referee the USA vs Belgium tonight…

I thought @FIFAcom couldn’t get any worse after Sepp Blatter, but Giovanni Infantino is just as appalling. The @FIFAWorldCup 2026 has been utterly ruined by greed and racist politics from the abysmal regime in the USA. Banning a referee from entering the country? Whatever next…

Only @KemiBadenoch could launch a claim to bin fuel tax (which she wouldn’t ever do) by slapping the gimmick on the side of a…. Milk tanker! 🐄🐄🐄

These are the deep down, Inherent problems with @htafc over the last few seasons. In fact since 2011-12, apart from 2016-17, 2017-18 and 2021-22, we have been utterly appalling every season. We go behind, and 99/100, that’s it, we’ll be lucky if we get a point, or even a goal

The @Daily_Express has gone full on deludedly mental this morning…. Nearly ten years on and we are still waiting for one single tangible benefit of leaving the EU! I’m surprised the DE is admitting it led the call for this car crash. They’ll be saying Reform is credible next…

Hey @FIFAcom , that idiot you gave a “peace prize” to isn’t being very peaceful! He’s invading countries illegally. Maybe you misjudged that award you pathetic, sycophantic idiot Mr Infantino. As bad as you giving World cups to Russia and presumably Saudi Arabia to host….

Been to see my good friend Dave Crowson who still runs this 1990 @ScaniaUK G93 which he’s had from new. And he still sheets and ropes his loads of bagged potatoes. This is really old school retro trucking!

Today is three years since @trussliz wrecked the economy, costing people like myself thousands in increased mortgage payments. She’s never apologised and instead pipes up at any opportunity to spout right wing Trump-loving diatribe. Was so glad when she lost her seat! Awful woman

Nadine Dorries “signing” for Reform UK is the political equivalent of Massimo Taibi signing for Manchester United….

It’s now NINE years since @ScaniaUK launched its New Generation models with the R and S series. Since then, there’s been the P, G, L, XT models, new 13-, and now 11-litre super engines, electric and gas models. And new facelifted models are just round the corner….

Want to wallow in the nostalgia of the 1970s trucking to the Middle East? I’m just about to publish “A far cry from Preston”, available now, only at eastfieldmedia.com. A great recollection of the job from ME veteran Ivor Whittall. A superb read!

In May, along with @WillShiers, I visited the @GWSR to compare two icons of transport; the @ScaniaUK V8 and the English Electric @GrowlerGroup Class 37 with “everyone’s favourite rail enthusiast” Francis Bourgeois. You can read about it in this week’s @Comm_Motor.

The latest issue of @truckingmag is now out; I’ve been test driving the new @RenaultTrucksUK Range T High 480TC with digital mirrors, and also been to see two very impressive @ScaniaUK 770s; a very rare R770 8x4 hookloader and a 770S 6x4 tractor unit.

11 years ago, after much persuasion from myself, @GBRailfreight named 66738 after @htafc with Town legends Andy Booth, Peter Jackson, Ray Wilson (RIP) and @SirPatStew. Today 66738 “Huddersfield Town” still covers the country sporting its great name! @KevinNagleMLS

I always believe in supporting acts by a post gig merchandise purchase; as I’ve got a million tee shirts last night I bought a @BarPreachers mug instead. I don’t need another mug, but WTF, it’s quirky. My mate even snapped me buying it! Great gig supporting @the_levellers

A year ago today I was in London to see @Interruptweets play their only UK headline show; this pic really encapsulates the energy and enthusiasm they have. Hope they’ll be back in the UK sometime soon!

How many @AvantiWestCoast staff does it take to turn a calm, controlled and measured situation into an unnecessary and overly dramatic fiasco at Carlisle?!? (Answers to the nearest 100!)

Another win from @Nigel_Farage, @Jacob_Rees_Mogg and all the other Brexshit cronies; a great pub in Birmingham closing partly due to their shambolic decision to leave the EU. Will these clowns ever be held responsible?! No, they’ll just wash their hands of it and get rich

My new @CrecyRail Rail Guide is now out, still only £25 for 400+ pages of all the info you need about today’s rail and light rail fleet! I’m very pleased with the finished result!
