Telltale sign, it’s nearly all over. Only Milky Way and Bounty left in the Celebrations box.

Using my all purpose new years greeting today, “I hope you get the new year that you deserve.” Covers all bases.

Sweep has had a heavy Christmas on the sauce.

Drank too much yesterday and stayed off it today. “One won’t hurt, after all, it’s Christmas.” is now flashing through my mind. “Oh, go on then.” inevitably comes next.

Yeah, that’s a red. Pure idiocy.

Nothing like a Royle Family Christmas episode to end the day. Comedy genius.

Worth a like or share on Facebook.

Interesting that a political party that has never had a female leader is going to teach kids about misogyny.

The news is so heavy at the moment, the light relief moment at the end is the possibility of world war 3.

Feels like we lost 1-1.

It’s like someone is planning to kick Bishop Brennan up the arse.

Surely the World Cup draw should feature the draw for the World Cup. #worldcup2026

There’s a disturbing development lately of the government and their media friends scapegoating the disabled and vulnerable on benefits for current fiscal wrongs. Not only is this inaccurate, it is a form of distasteful targeting of people least able to defend themselves. It really needs to stop.

Personally, I think Die Hard is about a man who dies from a viagra overdose, hardly festive.

Looking at this year’s Christmas stamp, it looks like Mary and Joseph formed a keyboard synth duo.

Looking forward to Paddington the musical. However, I’m hearing his guitar playing is paw.

50 goals scored and it’s not even December yet. Unreal. #skyblues

Things like Black Friday just make me determined to avoid shopping at all costs.

A new superhero is born.

What a football team we have in Coventry City at the moment. Unreal. I love it.

Inspired by local rivals Birmingham, Aston Villa release their photos of stadium upgrade.

My girlfriend left me with the instructions, sort the washing out and put the Christmas tree up. Jobs done.

Mahmood acting tough on this immigration is the political equivalent of a Chav with a XL bully dog trying to look hard.

Sunday consists at trying to get up at a reasonable time so you can spend the rest of the day falling back to sleep again.

There have been some magnificent technological innovations such as the internet, humans visiting the moon. But they all pale into insignificance this morning as I have just discovered that the squeezy Marmite jar has been invented. Surely the greatest advancement in human history.

Strip already laid out as we Get Ready for the mighty Peter Hook gig at Coventry Empire tonight.

Off to bed having enjoyed a cheeky couple of midweek celebratory beers. One happy Sky Blue boy.

I'm looking to speak to you about your memories of Highfield Road for my next Cov book - particularly our last season there & the final game against Derby County. Feel free to message me and share this post, too! Routines you had going to HR, people you used to see, weird stories, all sorts... #PUSB

Rachel Reeves’ house at Halloween.

Doug King meets a West Brom fan.

On cold dark mornings like these, I wake up dreading walking the dog. Then I remember that I don’t have a dog and go happily back to sleep,

We are so good, we are good even when we’re not that good.

RIP Dave Ball, Soft Cell keyboard maestro. I’ll best remember him for writing the music for this timeless classic. What a tune. youtu.be/OLmXLzu0_6w?...

Monday

If only.

The chap over the road is looking everywhere for his ginger cat. Now where can he be?

That’s one big spider.

Driving on the M6, I’ve lost control again.

I need to change my ring tone to, “How are you? It’s Alan.” ASAP.

Just read this the average spend on Halloween decorations and food this year will be around £75 per person. Which is approximately £75 more than I plan to spend.

Thinking of introducing a new feature to my life called, the afternoon cake. Basically each afternoon, I scoff a great big cake. Sounds promising.

I just can’t believe how good we are.

I think storms should be named after puppets. The puppet would be according to the severity of the storm. For example if you were faced with storm, Rod Hull and Emu, it would be a total nightmare.

Delighted to have a tune by my electro band, Deep Fakers, included on this great playlist by HMV Coventry Empire. m.facebook.com/story.php?st...

It’s #nationalpoetryday This is a poem of mine about the things that really matter.

Well, that was bloody brilliant Sky Blues. 😊

White House peace plan includes a roll for Tony Blair. A bit like the save the Titanic plan having a role for the iceberg.

“In a few year’s time Rodney, we will be millionaires.”

Imagine an American golf funeral, ‘Get in the hole!’
