I could buy a chef's press or I could simply continue using a huge cast iron pot to weigh down a toasted cheese sandwich.

Lalshah Grocers just off Hackney Road has every Indian cooking ingredient you need, but you will have to ask for it and then they have to go and find it in some tiny corner. All very friendly tho and I've never left without what I wanted.

"our business is different from a prison"

This is Manchester United Football Club I'm talking about...

The beast within ourselves.

😬

The minute we conceded the equaliser I knew we'd lose.

I find myself thinking "the reaction to us going ahead was so bad" then realising how fucking mad that is as a thing to think, even though it's true.

Think today might have made me Slot out. Feel increasingly like manager's nervousness about situation is dictating his decisions and style of play.

Sky reacting here like City have gone six clear rather than six behind.

Szobo I love you.

"as the first Irishman to ever live in London, I can only recommend it"

RTÉ DG may have done me a favour with release - Tubridy Broadcaster Ryan Tubridy has said RTÉ Director General Kevin Bakhurst may have done him a favour when he released him from his contract following the payments controversy in 2023.

Love how he thinks, or wants others to think, that being an Irish person who moves to London and shares Instagrams at the Devonshire every week represents some deep spiritual rebirth.

Sunday.

An Irish politician somehow avoiding biscuits for 30 years feels like a Catholic priest saying they haven't consumed the flesh of Christ.

Matthew Rhys is a gloriously hammy villain in The Beast In Me.

I was quite curious as to what would happen with her and Crace when Labour got in, and I guess eventually they just sort of slinked into vaguely similar but more half-arsed 'criticism'. It's political writing on the level of complaining about the weather.

Quite an angry song but that Dennis Edwards bassline makes 2pac's Hit Em Up a nice Saturday morning track.

She is a symptom.

I was glad when people finally started criticising him, like to each their own but there are certain hyped writers that I dislike so much it is maddening and isolating to fear that nobody else feels the same.

mad how even in the one quote in the headline he manages to say something grammatically broken and stupid.

yeah very good fun. ended at 3am which felt like the point when he was just getting it going, but still a lot of fun.

Met a Scottish chap last night who'd got the train to London yday with his wife to see Underworld then immediately gone to Francois K afterwards. You have to respect the plan.

They eventually agreed to give me a different new hoover and agreed not to charge me the extra, also to collect the old one. I'll stand up and applaud when Gary Barlow does a piano cover version of Enter Sandman this Christmas.

Watching Francois K play some records tonight 💃🏻

We don't have to respond.

Absolutely. I thought watching Leinster recently as Sheehan came on he had a huge belly, not something you'd generally comment on but it was really noticeable. Also, Osborne just isn't a full back, he is not fast enough. Not many mentioning the absence of Catt.

It's really worrying. The lack of ball carriers now also is glaring, besides Doris and maybe McCarthy really. Sheehan out of form and the rest invisible.
