I'm sure it isn't the worst - I read one that kept name-dropping the music characters were listening to as if it told us anything other than how achingly cool the author was.

Definitely a recency bias with HoHH, but I just couldn't find the part of it that was supposed to be enjoyable.

Just finished my 52nd book of the year. Set myself the challenge back in December, nailed it with nearly 8 weeks to spare.

Will do a round-up of the best at year end, but the worst so far is The Haunting of Hill House. I have no idea why it is so revered. Each to their own, but it's not for me.

have respect for every human life. we are all made in gods image. big computers on top. buncha important balloons in the middle. stilts.

"We are in no position yet to declare the moral of our story"

Barbara Kingsolver, 2002

Absolutely shocked to discover last night that Manchester bar The Deaf Institute is charging £8.10 for a pint of Manchester beer Mango Unchained by Shindigger. Just a standard, local pale. Obscene.

Come out to a gig tonight. It starts at 9. In the PM. I'm nearly four pints deep and absolutely exhausted. Do gigs at 7pm going forward please.

I mean no judgement, of course, and hindsight is £50 a gram, but fuck me being on and paying attention 24/7 can get all the way in the bin, no siree no thanks.

Just had my 14 year old nephew staying with us for 3 days. I'm pleased to report that it has utterly vindicated our decision to remain child-free.

Yeah it's a brilliant goal, but it wasn't a corner. VAR isn't fit for purpose. #NFFC

People in games who leave a helpful stash on the way to a mission - couldn't you have just given it to me when we chatted at the start of the mission? Also, why did you go halfway there to place it to then come all the way back to me to start the mission? Fucking idiot.

Just got an advert for Instagram. On Instagram. I fucking hate the future.

Buona Sera - Remastered 2002

There are many good Louis Prima songs. This is, without a doubt, one of them. The solo is *exceptional*.

This is pop of the highest calibre.

Brushing your teeth before meeting your drug dealer because they've got the drugs

Stat - this is the last time we kept a clean sheet. Until last night.

The butter's hard, lads. Hunker down.

For some unfathomable reason I feel joyous and hopeful today.

#NFFC

A clean sheet and a *massive* win in Europe.

Not that hard, is it Ange?

YOU REDS

Sean Dyche - a study in gravel #NFFC

Yatesy. That's my prediction.

#NFFC

I hope so. It also feels like if anybody is tailor-made for Dyche's style it's Yatesy. Plus we're just better when he's on the pitch!

Yatesy will start tomorrow, and we won't lose. You heard it here first. #NFFC

7 weeks at the gym. Can't believe I'm not only sticking it out, but actively enjoying it.

I've changed.

I've got a really good feeling about this. #NFFC

You love to see it #nffc

I, for one, welcome our new Disc Beard overlord #NFFC

Excellent news. Off you fuck, you absolute leeching bastards.

I cannot *believe* I'm saying this, but I want Dyche for the rest of the season. It's a relegation battle now, and he knows what he's doing. #NFFC

And he's gone. Great. Time to fix the utter mess he's left behind, and quickly. #NFFC
