I have this conversation with the ‘ammers at work all the time. I know it’s not the prettiest to watch but given they lost Rice in the summer, they’re still vastly outperforming in the league compared to last season. They want him out regardless. I guess they’ll find out how good Moyes was when they replace him.

That's very judgemental of you. I'm sure all these people will have done their research.

You'll need to make sure it's partly vegan and partly meat-based.

Old boy just moved in next door from me. Keeps himself to himself but the weed stank is very strong. My missus is appalled and I don’t really give a hoot. I don’t mind the smell and I can get a contact high if I lean far enough out of the bedroom window. Having said that, I was fortunate enough to have a long weekend in New York last autumn. The smell of weed was strong, sickly and inescapable. I was fed up of it by the time we got home.

2001/2002 I think. Our local after work pub in Whitecross Market. We’d all pile in after work for a quick one and every once in a while we’d be there all evening. On one night, we were thinking about leaving, must’ve been about half ten, when the doors to the pub are thrust open and some northern bloke stands there shouting “has this place got guiness?”. Myself and the barman both shouted in unison “It’s Johnny bloody Vegas”. In my memory, he was fairly new on telly so a good few people didn’t recognise him. He marched up to the bar and asked if he’d have to drink quickly or would there be a lock-in. The barman immediately told the dozen or so people that they had two options. Either they vacated the bar now or they were in for the duration. what followed was about five hours of stories from Johnny which had the place falling about with laughter. Hardly anyone spoke, we just listened and laughed. At least, that’s how I remember it.

Everything that @Designer1 said but also Reservation Dogs.

Judas: Hey boss, are you coming to the last supper tonight? Jesus: The last supper? Judas: I mean, the supper. Totally normal supper.

Just like the book then? Solid start then a descent into nonsense.

Very much my experience. Saw her grow up from age 1 to 8. When things with her mother came to an end, she tried to blackmail me with access to the wee one. There hasn't been a day in the last few years where I haven't missed that child. If I loved the kid that much, I often wondered if I'd love my own kid more. All moot now though.

When you’re gurning your nuts off, it’s a banger. Any other circumstance, it’s a migraine.

Doesn't meet the brief as it's indoors. I was there in February though and it is pretty impressive. All the moody Louis Vuitton and Gucci you could want.

Shouldn’t be a surprise but I am still amazed at the brazenness of it.

How quickly you forget!

Self-quoting to update. Perseverance is key. Took three emails for them to respond but respond they did and they've now cancelled the ticket. In that time, I'd had three threatening letters. I'd provided them with footage confirming my car wasn't where they said it was and copies of my notifications to the old bill and the DVLA. No response from DVLA or Met Police to me telling them my ARN had been cloned. I suspect they presumed if they kept threatening, I'd pay up to make it go away.

On a similar note.

Amusing and instructive.

Not really a gig but was at the Buxton podcast recording tonight along with all the beardy 50-somethings of London. Richard Ayoade was the main guests but in the second half of the recording Frank Black comes on stage and plays a bunch of songs with Ayoade playing lead guitar. Was amazing to see how effortlessly Frank can crank out some Pixies classics with nothing but a beat up old acoustic guitar.

FTFY

You’ve seen all you need to see. Possibly more than you needed to see. It’s just more of the same for another eleventysix hours. It looked great and some of the set pieces were ok but the whole thing was lacking in so many aspects.

Kinda funny but I do wish Labour would try and push things back to politics being a serious thing rather than just scoring cheap points (although that’s probably an argument for the other thread).
