My 3-year-old grandson says this to me often. Hilarious. He has his own priorities.

Trying to book theatre seats with a theatre token should be an Olympic event. Ridiculous amount of hoops. Still not done it. I want to see The Spy Who Came In From The Cold. Frustrating.

Reading in The Times about the woes/challenges of Asda. I worked as a store manager for 10 years in the exciting times of Archie Norman/Allan Leighton. Positive, high morale times. 10 years. 5 in the old days. Next 5 as a WalMart component. Shifting priorities. Allan has a few mountains to climb.

Still finding my way on this Substack gig. joecushnan.substack.com/publish/post...

In Saturday's Belfast Telegraph: An important and unusually long read on Jeffrey Epstein and a highly significant link to Northern Ireland. I've been working on this all week and it involves a matter of substantial public importance.

The greatest Holmes/Watson duo ever.

Watching One Life tonight via BBC iPlayer. Starring Anthony Hopkins as Nicholas Winton, a young London broker who, in the months leading up to World War II, rescued over 600 children from Nazi-occupied Czechia. True story.

Just finished this splendid autobiography. Sometimes brutally honest reflections from a once troubled younger man to the calmer reflections of a more contented older man. Extraordinary actor. What a life!

Very sad. Such a great comedic actress. So much wonderful stuff. I remember her adding brilliance to a Curb episode as Bam Bam. RIP. www.tmz.com/2026/01/30/c...

WINTER HAIKUS this morning, the frost has teeth-points to puncture skin like a carnivore * in white-roofed suburbs, the noise of getting going - scraping of windscreens * white breath of a dog, white breath of a dog walker, different rhythms

Totally agree.

Watching The RIP, new Damon/Affleck flick caper. Jeez. What a mess. Love action movies, but this is the biscuit. 👎

Seems indicators on some cars are optional extras. 🥹

"Breaking News" either means a global news story or a celebrity runs over a budgie on a zebra crossing. 😱
