8 fucking quid a pint by the way!

At Keo gig in Brum with the eldest. Like being back at Goodison.

Which, considering i usually start getting sunburn and sunstroke in early March, could be any day now.

The unrelenting rain and grey has been so genuinely fucking depressing, this change in weather is such a relief. It means I can now look forward to complaining that its too hot.

Sticking it on on the way to work this morning.

Just imagining whichever fish is most common to the region seeing Garp floating down, swimming over curiously and saying 'oh, its just another Irving getting lashed overboard.'

Haha. Wouldn't say im a huge fan but have liked a few of their books, but even they tend towards the self-indulgent, which is always the first description that comes to mind when reading something about writers writing.

John Irving and Michael Chabon get away with it. Very few others.

A three-person Leadership Council stepped in after Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed.

*nods head in approval for the Squirrel Bait mention*

Yeah, such arse-about-tit form. Yet the end result is somehow actually pretty good!

Pickford though. The one player i absolutely wouldn't sell at any price.

Such a bizarre club aren't we? We're about where id have predicted/hoped, yet we're there largely by losing winnable games and winning games we'd expect to lose.
Immensely frustrating season at times, yet in the position most would have expected.
Up the frustrating, inconsistent, bi-polar toffees.

G'wed the Greens.

Im a year or so in, no massive improvement in terms of concentration and focus, but dawned on me the other day that the background high anxiety that made even the most minor task feel like I was diffusing a bomb has been massively reduced. Hope it helps you and improves for your daughter.

Was right by the top of the West upper for Brentford, I've got vertigo and recently tore my knee ligaments. By the time I got to my seat I was nearly puking and collapsing on my fucked knees.

I think the truth is far more mundane than alien cannibals and, frankly, is therefore all the more ugly. It's not so much dark shadowy forces as greedy inhumane fuckers who operate pretty much in plain sight. And they would rather have us believing in the fantastical stuff, it distracts from them.

Having an open mind is good. I don't pretend to have answers to pretty much anything, and am open to being proven wrong on just about anything. But when we're talking about shape shifting reptilian species... I mean, come on...

Surgeon who usually plays R'n'B/pop playlists in theatre changing it up today. So far we've had Talking Heads, Sonic Youth, Interpol, Walkmen, Pavement along others. Such a shift I'm wondering if he's somehow connected to my Spotify.

Our governments clearly are all influenced by powerful and wealthy groups and individuals who protect their interests at the rest of our expense. But thats a long way from the illuminati-style nonsense peddled by the likes of Icke in order to radicalise people in order to keep his own income flowing

This just sounds really vague and amorphous to me. What is the 'it' that is global and all connected somehow, and that makes an antisemite, and peddler of ideas that L. Ron Hubbard seem reasonable, appear credible?

Id still find shape-shifting reptilians pretty surprising. And also surprised if people started giving credence to the centuries-old antisemitic tropes Icke has propagated over the years.

Of course he's right about some stuff; any one of us could have predicted some 'elites' engage in depraved behaviour. But anyone who talks about lizard people is definitely batshit crazy*, and/or a clever grifter.

*unless theyre talking about Pete Price, obvs.

What a way to live.

Drop a crush from your youth.

Kinnell. Does the person writing this like books or not?

That scene extended beyond 1990. At Borough Road college in Birkenhead in 94/95 there were a bunch of full on scalls who were obsessed with Floyd. Took me many years to realise this was a phenomenon rather than them being the anomaly.

Urgh. She can fuck right off.
