Tbf kids on Mustafar are easily influenced. They already do flippy shit around lava, so don't need you encouraging more bad behaviour.

The main story on BBC Sport is an article on how Jonjo Shelvey left Newcastle to move to Dubai because he thinks London has too much crime, with a very thinly-veiled "there's too many foreigners in the UK" tone to it all.

Not for the first time, fuck the BBC.

Shout-out to James Hocken of @washingtonspirit.com, who I just briefly chatted with at Washington Dulles Airport (thanks to my @leedsunited.com tracksuit getting his attention). Good luck against @angelcity.com in Thursdayโ€™s game (and for the Tigers this season)!

If you happen to be one of the children of Dan and Shelley from California, who I just met at Heathrow as they finish up travelling Europe for their 50th wedding anniversary - you have wonderful parents. And good on you for treating them to their trip!

If so, who will this seasonโ€™s game-changing January Derek Lilley of a signing?

Will we get word from Dan and Michael, as promised? Or are they locked up for trying to ask Marathe at the meet-up where the signings were on deadline day?

Presenting Arcadia Brenden Chisholm. A beautiful mix of you all, as though you all contibuted DNA to a science experiment gone horribly wrong.

Just a reminder that the political left are held to a much higher standard than anyone else, and that counts double if youโ€™re working class or female.

Paraag Marathe does deals in his sleep.

The poblem for us is that heโ€™s clearly been awake today.

I donโ€™t even work in theatre any more, and even Iโ€™ve spoken to someone about CG recently. Plenty of people still talk about what happened - just not the people who are perhaps most accountable.

Off to London for a conference. Itโ€™s a lovely reminder of how I donโ€™t miss the overbooked carriages, wank coffee, shitty WiFi and overpriced tickets of my commuting days.

It's crazy how underfunded this part of the NHS is. I've been waiting a similar time, and here in Plymouth they're apparently still deadling with referrals from 2020.
