Rarely find Simon Jordan, or Talksport as a whole, listenable. But he's bang on the money regarding Rangers and Russell Martin #Talksport #Rangers

Be interesting to see what team appears on Tuesday at Trafford. Don't know if they've broken any rules but feel they've broken the spirit of the Trophy.

Think a lot of goodwill that they received during their troubles over the previous few years has been eroded

Anything that's a remake of a perfectly good original film. I'm looking at you specifically Roadhouse of recent years

Same here with Nando's.

Never seen any of the Godfather films, or the Supranos for that matter. Basically anything in the last 30 years that gets labelled 'must watch' tv.

Scared of the trip to Trafford on Tuesday!! Joking aside, I'd love to know as well.

Goal just before the half for the visitors won the game. Not one to be critical of refs but wasn't impressed with today's.

I find books, of which I have too many but not enough, merely acquaintances I've yet to engage with.

Just because it's October doesn't mean you have to read anything spooky. So there.

Never trust blurbs. "Funny" mentioned 3 times. What book did they read? Was hoping for more but felt let down #books #booksky #reading

While I'm at a loose end these days I'm listing my books on an app called Handy Library.

I'm nearing 500 and I'm only halfway-ish. 😬

I may have a problem. Or not enough shelving

Tonight's music part 1

The Rolling Stones - GRRR Live! (2022 2cd)

My missing Amazon order turned up soaked through. Def Leppard didn't make it but thankfully the Stones survived as they have for the last 60 odd years

This is not a good day. Lost amazon order - 24 hrs before I can report it. 2 links to jobs that won't work on 2 different browsers and phone.

Modern life's getting me down this morning. I woke with enthusiasm, ready to smash the day. Deep breath and start again 🙄

Good morning early risers

Nothing more frustrating than getting that email from Lotto saying you've won a prize only to find its £2.50 😐 30 years of playing and never won more than £30!

Rant over for the day 🙂
