Spurs though

van Dijk not bothering to do any actual defending tonight?

Not everything in the world is awful. www.theguardian.com/music/2026/m...

Why on the very rare occasions I have to come into a bank branch do I always get stuck behind people with incredibly involved queries but somehow no details of their accounts or ID on them?

I reckon Spurs will go for Scott Parker as the next manager - former player with a good record of getting promotion from the championship

Funny how it's just the non-white ones they want to leave. I don't care how they dress it up it's racism pure and simple. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Came up to bed for a little nap and now debating staying here all night

Mogwai at the Glasshouse tonight - really looking forward to this.

WFH today so I've taken the opportunity to put washing on the line and it hasn't started raining yet. I think that means it's pretty much summer.

Shall I watch PSG in a cracker at Monaco or the Zorg playing for Bristol city? I think we all know the answer to that.

Awake after 5½ hours sleep and it's time to get ready for work for the second Tuesday on the trot. Seriously, fuck Sky Sports.

If I never see the CBS a Arena again it'll be too soon. At least we scored a goal this time and I made it home before 2am.

I don't know why I did this.

What's that you say? A billionaire blaming poor immigrants for this country's problems and not billionaires who offshore their wealth and companies that demand government subsidy to keep them afloat? Well I never!

It so nice to know that a man who always seemed so good actually is.

I kind of fancied Burnley to beat Sunderland tonight just because they're reaching the do or die point of their season and Sunderland aren't. Looks like they're going way more for the dying than the doing so far.

Watching this Coventry game and there is so much space behind their full backs. They'll always score but defensively they aren't great. Sure Kim Hellberg will have taken note.

Off and on it

Not really at it here Boro but this game is still winnable

It's a Wonderful Life with Big Naturals. Return of the Jedi With Big Naturals Close Encounters of The Third Kind With Big Naturals

People who don't put their trolleys back in the trolley bay, people who leave banana skins in the trolley, people who park right outside the entrance instead of an actual space - fucking scruffs the lot of them. Yes, I have just been to Tesco. How did you guess?

Tonight's listening Last dinner party - From The Pyre The Comet Is Coming - Hyper Dimensional Expansion Beam Like them both (wouldn't have bought them otherwise) but HDEB is mindblowingly good. I should listen to it more often.

Ruin a band name by changing one letter The Shite Stripes

They were worth the money.

I have not actively listened to any music this weekend. That was a mistake.

Made mince and dumplings for tea then did the ironing while watching antiques roadshow. I think it's safe to say I'm very middle aged.

Same shit, different day

Come home from work and no heating. Not much chance of getting a gas fitter out tonight and I'm in London all day tomorrow. House is going to be freezing by Sunday! Time to buy a couple of electric radiators I think.

Today I'm launching a silly roads-related side project - the Simulator, that will let you take journeys around the UK's major roads from the comfort of your chair. And to explain why I have invested so much effort in something so pointless, I wrote this. open.substack.com/pub/roadsorg...

"I am for force, because in force I see strength, and in strength the eternal mother of rights, and in rights the root of life itself" - Stephen Miller. Oh no actually was that Hitler. Easy mistake to make

My tree which barely dropped a single needle in the whole of December was clearly saving it all for the minute I started to move it outside

Disappointing result again but I'm not going to go full meltdown like some of our fans. Fact is we should have won, played pretty well for most of the game, got nothing from the referee and just need something to break for us right now. The injury to Callum Brittain didn't look good though.

Back at it in 2026

Ever since I had Bell's Palsy a few years back my left eye waters whenever I eat. Literally tears running down my face as I eat these liquorice sweets. Bodies are weird.

This being dropped on the terrace at Space was just pure joy for me. I might have been the only person there who knew it apart from the DJ - don't remember who was playing but, whoever you were, thank you.

Describe your Bluesky account in a single image

Wishing I was going to Bristol now but then again not missing the 5 hour drive each way.

Possibly the most important research carried out by anyone, anywhere this year

Daughter is home from university and is currently in the kitchen cooking with her brother while I sit listening to the Velvet Underground with the football on in the background. Life is pretty good sometimes.

Christmas George is in his rightful place

Hull banging out the hard trance on the PA. Interesting choice.

Another beautiful night for football.

Trans men are men. Trans women are women. Trans rights are human rights and fuck anyone who says otherwise.

Star Wars by LS Lowry, just a bit of fun.

Tonight's gig was Divorce in Edinburgh. Edinburgh looks very Christmassy and Divorce were brilliant. Will also be keeping an eye out for their support Curiosity Shop - never heard them before but I was very impressed

Apologies if I've missed something but in what way does a mansion tax help reduce the type of council tax inequalities Rachel Reeves is on about. All a mansion tax will do is give councils in areas of high housing value more income while those in deprived areas gain nothing.

Proper Doyle doing something that stupid.

Good job I'm off to Oxford and don't have to care about the cricket
