You sit around here and you spin your little webs and you think the whole world revolves around you and your money. Well, it doesn't. In the whole vast configuration of things, I'd say you were nothing but a scurvy little spider! And, that goes for you, too!

If you need a β€œdate night” your relationship is fucked. Get used to eating that β€˜dessert for two’ alone.

I can remember everything, every little detail, up until around 1994. I can remember school disco’s but can’t remember what I did for the millennium?

What happens at 11s is one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen in cinema.

The pilot is very visible, looks like Daenerys riding the back of a dragon.

I used to love smoking, really love it. It went so well with everything, coffee, alcohol, early mornings, late nights, being alone, being with company, sex… sigh.
Lovely photo.

I can get why some people may be averse to IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE, but β€œRemember, no man is a failure who has friends” and β€œTo my brother George, the richest man in town” both absolutely destroy me on a raw, emotional level that no other film ever has, so…

I’ve been a vegetarian for 26 years, but I did take a bite out of a scotch egg at a boozy party in 2003, forgetting momentarily that it was meat.

Four albums that dropped when you were in high school and defined your taste forever

Thanks Richard, always a reminder to dust off and play the great albums I haven’t listened to for a while 🎡

Moulin Rouge!, …. Baz Luhrmann, camp as tits, jukebox covers, Ewan McGregor’s singing, colour and camera-cuts that could induce a seizure. I hated and avoided for years.
Now love it.

To me it looks like English cricket has gone frigging mad.
21 years old, 20 first class matches, averages 25, 0 hundreds, 5 fifties. Bats number 3 in a test.
I just can’t quite understand it?…

I watched my mother die November last year. She was in a hospital bed, cared for by professionals, but it doesn’t help. The pain and distress she was suffering will haunt me forever, I held her hand, I spoke to her, but I couldn’t help either. She wouldn’t have wanted this for anyone.

Sadly predictable. We’ve an opener averaging 31, doing what he does, an inexperienced number 3, thrown out there on a whim, the domino effect is it exposes our best bat with 5 balls left to face before lunch.
Gawd.

JAMC went through the motions, MBV were too loud (and I mean, ridiculously, painfully, loud) and Blur were on the verge of dropping back into obscurity (Damon had to climb the rigging to get noticed) … but it was still excellent πŸ˜‰ ❀️

Last time I’m going to say this, (because it’s done, he’s gone, it’s over, and it gets boring) but I think J Anderson might have got a bit more out of this morning’s conditions.

The Jesus and Mary Chain, My Bloody Valentine, Dinosaur Jr…. and Blur.
If it weren’t for the slight hearing loss, I’d have trouble believing it actually happened…. and happened for Β£12.50.

Show me a picture on your phone that has your energy that isn't a selfie.

Just watched Labuschagne bowl in the highlights 😳 PE teacher has left the children unsupervised vibe….
And now I learn that Bethell is to bat 3 for England.
I think it’s time for Boycott to sit the professional cricket world down, and tell it to stop mucking about.

I hope he does well, I hope the selectors have played a master stroke…but if it does misfire, MI5 and MI6 should investigate possible Russian interference.
