A fascinating match as it's like they drank a luck potion where every completely stupid spot they do is almost absolutely perfect in spite of how stupid it is. They could never replicate the sheer luck they had and not completely fuck themselves up.

Having mates in the industry and actually worked in it through a non athletic capacity, it's basically like ballet for me, extremely athletic theatrical performance. People who dislike it because it's not 'real' are absolutely fascinatingly odd.

I guess it depends on when the guests were big stars or not, but The Bill or The Professionals is chock full of before they were famous, above what you'd expect to appear and of the moment character actors.

An article by Peter Ross on Rik Mayall 

"RIK Mayall is standing in the middle of West George Street, trying to stop traffic. He wants desperately to be photographed having a fight with a taxi driver, but Glasgow’s cabbies just zoom past, honking and waving. β€œFuck!” he exclaims. β€œPeople are too nice up here! What we need are some Cockneys!” Then he grabs the photographer and disappears off into the gents to pose by the urinals. He is 47 years old."

On what would have been the birthday of pan-global phenomenon Rik Mayall (had he not died, selfish B'Stard), here is the one of the finest opening paragraphs to an article you will ever see!

He's someone I find entertaining but I "know" it's a lot of schtick and he's probably a bit of an arse. That pro wrestling ep was fascinating where he went in lacking much research, did that 'oh is it real?' routine and took the piss. They made him exercise so much he threw up in a bin. Deserved.

It was really funny that time he kept taking the piss out of pro wrestling and they made him throw up in a bin.

What's The Excuse This Time?
YouTube video by McAlmont & Butler - Topic What's The Excuse This Time?

Today, I finally listened to 'The Sound of McAlmont & Butler.' Only took a scant 31 yrs after it's release.

I'd only heard 'Yes' before, obvs one of the best songs ever (don't disagree you weirdo), but good heavens, it's full of bops! I got a real kick out of this track in particular.

That's all.

Never been Dubai. But during my nervous breakdown of 2021, I took a pic in my garden by a dilapated shed. Doing that 'holding a glass of champagne with the skyline in the background YOLO let's talk crypto before a big Dubai porta potty sesh' pose they all love doing. 

A picture of me during a rough arse time in my life, I'm in a red dressing gown in my old garden in Urmston. I have a glass of something in my hand and I'm doing a take on those influencers style glamour poses they do.

Always forget that you've got The Smiths rhythm section in the background on this.

I drank too much at a comic con. Got into a fight with a fella dressed as a Transformer. Woke up this morning feeling like I'd been hit by a bus.

Super Hans from Peep Show with amended quote "People DON'T like Coldplay and DIDN'T vote the Nazis. You CAN trust people, Jeremy." 

Brilliant result in the Gorton & Denton by-election. Hopefully over the next few years this post becomes evergreen.

"I didn't lose actually, it was the people of Gorton & Denton who lost. So don't put in the paper that I lost. It was a woke conspiracy. Some of the voters were women WITHOUT children for God's sake!"

Fair fucks to you all, I've never met anyone who gobbled one. But I don't doubt you at all. Honestly thought for a while it was some form of money laundering.
