The wrong fucking team won. (As if we didn’t know already)

This resonates with me - I’ve read 4 books so far this year, but I’m already feeling pressure to complete Number 5 before the end of the month, which is NOT why I’m doing this at all.

On the one hand, this gobshite is my MP and I’ve wanted shut of him since the day he was helicoptered in to a (then) very safe Labour seat. On the other, well here’s a chance for a Green follow up to Denton & Gorton (hopefully), so win-win really.

Van The Man Hot Take: Astral Weeks is a hell of a record, but who the chuff listens to Beside You for pleasure? For listening derailment quotient, it almost rivals Floyd's On The Run...

New LinkedIn profile picture.

This is all good stuff of course, but it doesn’t really solve their Glasner problem though…

Some sort of side-effect of pedestrianisation…?

Not a wartime consigliere but he was everything else. RIP

Now that I've watched *that* version of "Wuthering Heights" (Careful With Those Eggs, Jacob!), is there a really GOOD version of the story I can watch?

- St Edmund Arrowsmith (yes, that *is* his withered monkey hand in the local Catholic church) - Her off Corrie Slim pickings (No, he didn't go to our school)

Fuck you Ratcliffe. I've supported United for 50 years but I'd be happy for everyone of our "Immigrant" players to walk away from the club now. Take your money, take your poison, take your racism and fuck off away from our club

The only surprising thing about the Ratcliffe non-apology is that anyone is the least bit surprised by it.

Just a reminder to any racist millionaire football club owners out there that without immigration we wouldn't have any of this

Really enjoyed large portions of this book, but I’m bloody glad I’ve finished it now and don’t have to spend any more time in Nick’s world between 1971 and 1974. Good mental health is something to be treasured. www.goodreads.com/book/show/11...

Government with a 80seat majority? Fuck you, we’ll do what we want. Government with a 158 seat majority? Fuck you, we’ll do what we want. Rinse. Repeat.

Wake me up in August.

Fuck off, Shrek.

The first 50 items on my Facebook feed just now - 3 that I follow, 47 adverts / suggested accounts. There’s a reason why most of us don’t bother anymore.

My friend @sararoseg.bsky.social is very stressed because @thedailytism.com has 99,993 followers on instagram. Can 7 of you go to www.instagram.com/thedailytism and follow to stop her stress?

Young me would have been intensely excited about going to a black tie dinner on a Friday night - current me just wishes I was in my PJ’s, getting ready watch a load of crappy old episodes of Top of the Pops, with a glass of wine in hand.

I was today years old when I found out that one of Nick Drake’s earliest gigs featured violin played by… Zaphod Beeblebrox.

If we note that Mandelson is an unflushable turd, these are the plumbers who not only tinker with the water flow to the cistern but have re-routed the waste pipe right into our living rooms.

framing Lolita as a “great and tragic love story” speaks volumes about Rowling’s worldview, but it is also fascinating to me that she doesn’t seem to understand what an unreliable narrator is

At least make us go through the motions of wrestling with a moral dilemma of whether to boycott or not…

*The* Magna Carta?

Headbands! Potato-headed drummers! Rod The Mod! Majeur!** Wacky Thumbs-Aloft Macca! It can only be the Prince’s Trust Concert 1986, courtesy of @brighterdayvinyl.bsky.social - thanks Joel, for the freebie. (**I’m blaming James Corden for forever shortening poor Midge’s name)

Can confirm: January is over. Repeat: January is over.

Still a long, long way to go, but play like that a few more times and we’ll be fine. #LFC

Absolutely onions everywhere here. #Ibou #LFC

This is a *very* twisted view of the Mary Magdelene story.

"Lads - what we need from Mud right now is faux-Puerto Rican disco." Said no-one ever. #totp

So basically, they just moved the recordings around and repeated last week's episode, but with Porter fronting it this time? #totp

Goodwin’s Law is where the first person to be Matt Goodwin instantly loses the argument.

Some of us are old enough to remember his Spotify boycott.

The Arsenal game.

I sorta knew how this would go beforehand (now the mono PPM against the stereo is a *much* more interesting contest), although I would disagree with the verdict on Money - the multi-bounced stereo version is The Beatles first GREAT stereo mix & absolutely roars.

The first Minnesota murder, they refused to let a medical professional help the woman they shot. The second Minnesota murder, they simply shot the medical professional.

Ah yes, their first attack. #LFC

Anyone claiming to hate The Beatles always turns out to be the worst kind of performative "look at me, look at me!" obtuse contrarian arsehole, and I've yet to see an exception.

There is a worse major studio film than the Quaid version of Flight of the Phoenix - I just haven’t seen it yet. #FilmFour

This is what you get for fielding sex offenders.

Serious story *OBVIOUSLY*, but wasn’t this half of our fanbase with a certain Spaniard circa 2008?

Just watched the Don Revie to Everton story on the NW News and now is as good a time as any to reflect on how hilariously unlucky his team was not to win an absolute hatful of trophies from ’65 to ’75.

Surely the greatest #Pointless set of final answers ever

He’s 1,100 pages in, apparently…

Falling naturally and deeply asleep at 8pm, - Yay! Hate all the tossing and turning at midnight I’ve been struggling with lately - It’s 3am and I’ve been WIDE AWAKE FOR THE LAST 3 HOURS

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you joy.

I don't usually beg for funds on things, but this is both, a) My (hopefully) future son-in-law's work, which could help him secure a future in the UK b) A terrific project & really worthwhile supporting So would welcome any small effort - thanks! www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/a-game-to-...

Very happy with Guehi to City - they deserve each other.
