Family. Football. Music. And books. Still working on that first novel (writing, not reading...).
We'll lose Tounekti, too.
And Balikwisha's brother has declared for DR Congo, so I hope that doesn't give him, or them, any ideas.
Very late to the show this week (and still working) but this is a lovely way to start to wind down.

Like Martian. Which might explain a lot.
I have that (in a box in my garage, these days). Some great covers on there.
"The Stranglers' version of 'Walk On By' is better than the original" is a verbal hand-grenade in the right company.
Pull pin and retreat. 😄
Do you know the Green Day/Stiff Little Fingers scene in "High Fidelity"?
When I watched the movie with my daughters they howled at it, because their dear old Dad had given almost the exact same speech some years before 😁

Celtic trail 1-0 in the 80th minute to Inter Bavaria Coachworks in the first qualifying round of the Conference League.
Manager Callum McGregor looks along his subs' bench and makes his decision.
He turns to his assistant, John Kennedy.
"Tell Jamesie to get stripped."
Bananarama attended the funeral.
"Among the wreaths were tributes from musicians and bands including Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet, Altered Images and The Jam."
What an admirably clear statement from the Jewish Leadership Council, especially when all of those involved must surely have been dealing with so many other urgent challenges in safety, security and grief + shock today before having this further divisive and distracting intervention to address too.

Well, you know, 'Man In The Shed' brought me over to this lovely artefact.
Just reaching their peak.

Classic - went looking for it the other day.
After Gary Larson published the cartoon, he and Goodall became good friends.

Such an engaging live performer.
I recommend her book - she has lived several lives!
Look! A book!!!
Those kind people at Omnibus have reissued this, with a great new foreword by Roddy Doyle.
Ireland's greatest living writer *
It's out now.
I think.
*well, he is. Roddy Doyle, I mean.

When we moved into our first house, our neighbours (through the wall) played their music loud*. This was one of the wife's favourites. I've hated it ever since.
*How loud? One morning I couldn't understand why I couldn't switch off my radio alarm. The music was coming from next door.
(We fell out.)
On this day...2019.
Rest in Power, Rick.

Here I am in 2020 in the flimsiest, most pitful PPE - like so many other NHS staff, some of whom died from the Covid they caught in their hospitals.
Tory peer Michelle Mone - who today lost her legal case & must repay the govt £122m - dares to claim she’s been ‘scapegoated’.
What, Michelle? 🧵

Beyond absurd. It’s extreme authoritarianism. These police should be arresting rapists & crooks, not neglecting those duties to spend time arresting citizens standing against genocide.
It undermines police and the law.
Loving the selections, Andy 👍

Fair play Montrose for showing the game vs Celtic Women live and free.
Not sure about whoever is doing the singing, though 😂
