Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't nirvana, soundgarden, pearl jam, or alice in chains.

A tale as old as time... Act 1, the setup: I bought a trifle. Act 2, the confrontation: Nobody else in the house likes trifle. Act 3, the resolution: I ate all the trifle.

Hot!

Lovely Christmas Eve stroll on the beach - done.

I'd go further and say it's almost expected

"I really hope I took losing out on 'employee of the year' with good grace at the boozy staff Christmas lunch" The good grace:

Sources say he's 5 minutes into regaling the disinterested staff with the Weatherall origin story of the name and shows no sign of letting up...

A movie that takes place where you're from.

Nah, mate, you just push those silly plants out of the way and use the terrarium as your personal stage. This is your time to shine.

Autechre. The performance last night in Bristol was incredible. Still processing it.

Autechre - Bristol tonight. If anybody is in Bristol or nearby and wants a ticket for Ae tonight, I've got a spare. (not arsed about payment as the stupid "refund insurance" is so restrictive I can't use t anyway so it'll just go to waste otherwise)

It's mad that we've just accepted - in a an era when every gobshite and his mate can rig up a multi mic podcast - that mega-billion £££ football clubs can't add a few additional mics in their media centres so we can actually hear the questions being asked to the manager.

Share a cartoon from the past that kids today have probably never heard of youtu.be/C3-vnqMdjlk?...

Walking on the beach when it has this stillnes in the soft, diffuse, fading evening light with 'Autechre - Perlence subrange 6-36' playing in my ears is as close to a perfect way to unwind after another week working for the man as any I've found.

Éamon de Valera could have gone to the cinema to see Jaws but probably stayed in watching The Sweeney instead.

How well is our decision not to get any pets until after we finish some building work on our house going, you ask? This well:

I went to see Lisa O'Neill last night, and she really is a rare talent. Spellbinding show. Perfect mix of music, culture politics, storytelling, heart, and soul.

I had an unexpected visit to the eye-emergency ward at the hospital y'day after a finding at my routine eye check-up. In under 15 minutes the nhs consultant pew-pew-pew laser fixed a retinal tear and anybody who tells you we aren't living in the most amazing, incredible, sci-fi timeline, is lying.

Yesterday I told a bin to fuck off, if you want an indication my current stress levels. In my defence, it did try to trip me up, and when I turned around, it was acting all like, "Never touched him, ref! I am clearly an inanimate object!" But if VAR was in play, it was 💯 straight red for the bin.

Learned today that I am no better at rendering than the last time I tried. Really expected not doing a thing for at least 15 years to have paid bigger dividends than this.

Everybody should have a cooy of this cultureshockuk.bandcamp.com/album/go-wild

Decided to go to the cinema to escape the rain for a few hours but the rain had other ideas...

Just bought one of those neverending bowls of noodles where I've been eating soldily for 15 minutes and it still looks full.

Lads, the scenery on the Costa Del Connemara really comes into its own when the remnants of a hurricane are passing through. 👌

Walking back from an after work pint and a young lady in a car full of young ladies shouted, "Oi Oi! Sexxxaaaayyyy!" Not vaguely in my general direction. Directly at me. Nobody else around. I'm going to go out on a limb and say I think they might, just possibly, have been taking the piss.
