He couldn't stay out of Jonas Olsson's pocket.

It's that time of year that the Salvation Army are covering themselves in Lynx Africa to disguise the utter foul stench as they hawk for donations. I went to a couple of meetings when I was a kid to spend more time with my best friend. Holy balls, nothing has ever given me the ick as badly.

Make a Bond movie casual: Skive Another Day.

Eh? Birmingham Albion? In Claret? birminghamalbionfc.com

Merry xmas you filthy animals.

Nearly run over on a pedestrian crossing by a SUV driver running the red light, who I couldn't see coming due to a box van parked on zigzags. Merry go fuck yerselves.

You'd better watch out! You'd better watch out YOᑌ'ᗪ ᗷETTEᖇ ᗯᗩTᑕᕼ OᑌT

And that's me done for the year. Can't believe I have to go in on the first Friday back though. I'd rather have done a full day today instead.

Afternoon. #WBA #FAWNL

I don't care for boxing but Jake Paul and Andrew Tate both getting their teeth rattled in a single weekend puts me right in the seasonal spirit.

I fell from a height in 2009, cutting my head and sustaining a concussion. The ambulance, treatment and X-ray were all free. I bypassed triage because it was a head injury and was in and out of hospital within an hour. That's all gone if Milkshake Nige gets in at the next election. He wants this. 🧵

I would hate 2 be a Wolves fan.

Today! See you in a couple of hours. 🎅

I've said repeatedly that the reason so many drivers think cyclists are constantly breaking the law is because they don't know what the law is. Volume of motor vehicle traffic is also why roads are in such bad nick despite government spending a fortune on them. It doesn't have to be like this.

TNT have picked it for television, meaning it's been moved to the Thursday and I'll miss ukulele night. I never miss Moselele. 😞 It should be illegal for anyone to schedule things on nights I expect to do other things.

Send it to the Beak.

We've got the dogheads on Sunday. Hope we get a good crowd in. Had about 2,000 when we played them at the Shrine last season. #WBA #FAWNL

I want to see Clutch in town tonight but I don't want to actually leave the house but now I've seen tickets are £45 so I don't want to see Clutch in town tonight after all.

It's probably very petty of me but I find it hilarious that after all the lobbying Moseley Forum did to get public money blown on block paving and a 'roundel' for the junction outside the new railway station, they've still ended up with a formal, bog-standard mini-roundabout on tarmac.

There were 115 unsettled charges.

The algos showed me something called 'witchrock'. Liked it. It's a groove.

Noora's leaving Battle Beast. That's a pity but they did a totally wholesome video announcing it, as a band. When I left my band the first time I went quietly, because who gives a shit? The singer left a few months later and made a really cringey absorbed post on the band's FB because she's a prat.

Ooh, Everton at home in the Fourth Round. Dodged some horrible away day drives there. #WomensFACup #WBA

Heard a noise – they're taking down scaffolding after the landlord had a roofer out. Straight away my brain:

Five hours of driving with a headache and no painkillers to hand.

Is it too eccentric to go to Leeds wearing a loud Albion xmas jumper when it's possible you'll be the only travelling fan?

Noticed I had a headlight out this morning. After two and a half hours hunched up under the wheel arch, calling the car every name under the sun, I have a new bulb gaffa taped in place because the bastard won't seat in the lamp. I'll pay somebody to do it properly. Oh, and it's h*ckin' wimdy out.

I've never liked Apple, have no intention of using any of their services but this could easily be Google Microsoft cutting me off from everything that's important to me on an arbitrary whim or automated snafu. Sitting here now thinking about how to run my own email sever and cloud through my NAS.

🎶 He's making a fist, he's decking you twice. Gama Bomb are ace.

One week till Snowselele! Feeling festive? Love group singing? Join Moselele for a FREE Christmas singalong at the Prince of Wales, Moseley on Saturday 20th December. Tell your friends, download the songbook from www.moselele.net and we'll see you there from 4pm 🥳🎅🏻🍻🎶

Heggebø chasing a nothing ball made that. Absolute workoss.

I'm sure it's entirely coincidental that male ex-pros (to wit: Paddy Kenny; Karl Henry) were coming out to attack Eni Aluko immediately before and after Joseph Barton's trial and criminal convictions for sending malicious communications.

Worra plank.

Oh Jesus CHRIST I nearly choked.

He's too generous to habitual offenders, or pretending they don't exist but this was pretty reasonable and tried to explore excuses rather than making them.

Ooh, the hospital has finally acknowledged the ENT referral my GP made about my crappy breathing. Still no appointment though; they're reviewing it to "determine the most appropriate next steps".

The M3 will take Mason and Gibbs all the way back to London. They needn't come back up here. We can send their things home by Evri. #WBA

25 years ago I went up to Stockport. Gary Megson's first game. We bumped into Paul Thompson in the car park after and he explained why he sacked Brian Little. They had a meeting and PT asked what BL can do to turn things around. "I don't know." That's Ryan Mason. He doesn't know. Time to go. #WBA

If anyone knows where the pastry sheets are in Asda, kindly let me know for next time a shopper mistakes me for somebody working there. I wonder if she found them.

Cowards. Spuds *and* UEFA.

Yes, I had to declare I'm 38* before I could sign in. * Ahem...

Some bloke's personal (and little bit sexist) view that offering, as a choice, smaller portions at lower cost with potential attached benefits isn't an awful thing however the Daily Hate presents it. Trouble is Labour is so stupid that it's totally plausible they'd introduce it as compulsory policy.

*sigh* Kai Hansen: brilliant musician, 40-year back catalogue of terrific music – boomer mind rotted by AfD-adjacent vaccine and climate sceptisim. Really testing the 'separate the art from the artist' maxim.

The microwaves at the tip are having a great time

No matter how clear the offence is, or how closely the victim applied best practice, there will always be somebody who thinks they did something wrong anyway.

Seriously, just give kids and young adults free bus passes. Realising at 16/17 I could hop on a bus at the end of my road and go all the way to Merry Hill, or into town or whatever under my own steam was a revelation. Or make buses free. Whatev.

Captain and Sprocket are in for a shock when Border Force batters down the door at 6am.

feeling very sexy in my new gnu/linux tshirt. i love linux
