he's cracked twitter with his Fred Dibnah style provincial rube persona has that lad, every time he posts a pic of some giant celery he's grown with the comment: take a look at these badboys!! He gains a thousand more young followers!

This could go in lots of other threads, but some inspirational work here:

Ffs Alphie I have that shit muted on twitter

I made a comment under a thread that retweeted that video that got me 21 likes and I'm proud of myself.

Is that the most likes you ever got? Pffft.

I take what I can get

my greatest success was a comment I made about fraser nelson that michael rosen agreed with and added some more to much more eloquently and earned me about 9 likes for mine and 72 proxy likes for his response.

‘I did the second one sober… it was horrible’

The most Real England about this is that he seemingly had no problem at all agreeing to this photo shoot. Often it's not the news, it's the willingness of people to back up the news with photos like this that's the most Real England for me.

Lol

apparently this is a storyboard of my life type thing people do on instagram. Jamie Oliver's cracking 30 minute meals, Bradders, Smithster. This is quite a rich internal life here!

Those are Earl Brutus lyrics I swear

Posted in 2016 and left-ish, 30-something Twitter has never recovered.

oof that hits hard.

it was posted by Kev The Postman Poet from Hudds and is a genuine publication believe it or not!

honestly tried to zoom in to see if that was Rob Coombes, brother of Gaz

it’s Reg Transfers

He's Gaz Coombes' brother-in-law iirc.

i thought you were all joking as it's clearly the lad out of Take That but having just seen the picture full size my mistake

Gaz Coombes’ brother does something financial in Paris and is married to a McAleese.

Gaz Coombes did something in Paris, 1940-ish

This guy doesn't fit the Real England mood here as I have nothing but sympathy but I didn't know where else to share it. His wee resigned chuckle at the end slays me

Very much right to appear here, I reckon. I think of this thread as a celebration as much as anything, and if that fantastic wee clip's not "Real England", I don't know what is.
