If there’s a time in your life when you’re *not* amused that someone was once called Dick Bumhole, I don’t want to reach it.

I love those moments. Definitely remember the bloke next to me tearing into Viduka as he danced through the Liverpool defence for his third as he should β€˜just fucking shoot, aww, he’s gone too bloody far, fucking hell’

He’s just released a statement that just says β€˜no I haven’t!’, and instead in a surprise move has said the new Ayatollah and Supreme Leader is actually Mrs Ethel Shroake of 393A High Street, Leytonstone.

I didn't even get a fucking interview.

Fucking hell, could have phoned me to let me know I didn’t get it first. Thought the interview went quite well, actually. Should have realised they had an internal candidate lined up….

Londoners maybe don't understand how huge this is because they've got so many stations.

Glasgow has two and they're not set up to be easily interchangeable - Central goes everywhere south, Queen Street everywhere north.

Huntley dead, and the world is slightly less shit.

Don’t make a hero of his killer though. He’s already on a whole life sentence for three murders, including a five-month pregnant mother who he also raped.

Remember the victims of these foul men.
