12 weeks ago @louisjones04 had a business idea. Three months on we have a viable family business. Delighted to confirm I’m going ‘all in’ to help LJ run the business whilst he focuses on his studies. SurpriseShirts.co.uk
Just spent an evening reminiscing bands from the past. I’d completely forgot how good Mental As Anything were.
Thought I’d link a personal favourite

Sorry, what? If @rickygervais had written this, I’d be laughing at his comedic genius. FFS @andyburnham GOOGLE FUCKING MAPS? Yeah - problem solved, “Cheers”. 🙄
I know people are worried about fuel prices. And I get it. You get to the pump, watch the numbers climb, and wonder why it's costing so much more than it used to.
The reality is that global events are pushing up costs, and families here at home are feeling the impact.
But I won't accept that there's nothing I can do to help.
That's why from today, you'll be able to see petrol and diesel prices on Google Maps, compare nearby stations and find the cheapest option before you fill up.
It's a small change, but if there's a practical way to help people keep more money in their pocket, I'll do it.

The first ever Surprise Shirts UK meet-up on Saturday was a huge success!
We brought together members of our community to show off their favourite shirts, meet fellow shirt collectors and watch some non-league football.
It was a brilliant day, and was particularly special to us as a family business to see customers making the trip to come and join us from all over the UK.
A huge thanks to everyone who attended, it was brilliant to meet you all. ❤️
Also we’d like to extend a massive thank you to our hosts @RugbyTown_FC and we’re buzzing you got the three points!
Where shall we head to for our next one? Let us know! 👀

My Dad is the reason I love the Sky Blues. Mike Jones. I lost him today. We knew Blackburn away might be the final swan song and it proved the case. We got back to the Premier League and I’m so pleased you were alive to see it. I’ll miss you ‘up the city’ Dad 🩵 sleep well
And some of you might remember this - the day Dad and I made it into the papers …

In our six years of running Surprise Shirts, one question has been asked more than any other.
"Do you have any Japanese shirts?"
Maybe it's the incredible designs, how rare they are, or just the allure of Japan's unique football culture.
Forever, the answer to the question was no.
Too expensive, no connections to source them authentically, and just too rare.
On Monday, that changes.
The Surprise Shirts Collector's Edition Japan Boxes are launching. 🇯🇵
Limited to just 300 boxes. Sourced straight from Japan. Each box comes with Japanese football memorabilia, collectibles and snacks.
We are so excited for this collection, and we know you'll love these incredible shirts as much as we do.
7PM UK time, September 28th.
You seriously don't want to miss it.
Store opening night. Frank promised me we’d win an away game. Frank was right. My gaffer @CoventryCityFC 🩵
