Yeah, shouldn't have watched that before bed

Ok, now I'm sure of it.
Maddie's about to go home 😬

I've got an uneasy feeling I'm up to the scariest episode right now

Hmm...

When the IKEA shut, they turned it into a giant rave venue. They could so the same with the stadium

I used to go quite a bit. I went to an away game once. A student I knew had a job on the local paper covering the team. I went with him on the team bus to Llansaintfraid (now TNS). He interviewed the manager on the way back through the gap between the seats (we sat in front of him)

Club soccer, for me, is always wanting to see the unusual. Leicester winning the league, Hollywood Wrexham, Jimmy Glass, now hopefully Hearts winning the title. I don't care about quality and skill, just crave the drama

When I was a kid, the big 5 was Liverpool, Everton, Arsenal, Spurs, and Man Utd. Will always like Utd. Will always loathe Liverpool. Usually want Arsenal to fail (unless they're beating Liverpool or City), and that leaves Spurs and Everton for this weird interest in rare victory and rare disaster

See also Everton

My interest in club soccer is only ever adjacent to fandom, but I am always vaguely interested in extremities of Spurs. When they're at the top, I kind of want them to win the league. When they're struggling, I kind of want them to go down. When they're neither, I don't really mind.

Like relying on Bubble from AbFab

Still think about the reverse where the staff member in S Woodford Sainsbury's called me over by clicking his fingers and pointing at a free self checkout

David Lynch could have done an astonishing film version of The Crying of Lot 49

What a pleasure to read

Last night on YouTube: Parkinson FINLAY McLAREN watches Kenneth Williams and Jimmy Reid going at it (ooh matron).

"Reid took his turn for a sound level. He recited, from memory, an extraordinary poem. When he finished, he turned to Williams and asked, ‘Who wrote that?’ Williams didn’t know. ‘I did,’ said Reid"

Joani Reid MP @JoaniReid Proud to meet four heroes in Parliament today. Sandie Peggie, the Darlington Nurses and Jennifer Melle. They have shown tremendous courage and bravery in challenging a warped ideology and a culture of virtue signalling that rewards institutional cowardice. Thankfully, the tide is

Joani Reid MP @JoaniReid Our Home Affairs Select Committee report on the Maccabi Tel Aviv fan ban has been published. An extraordinary and unjustified decision that exposed serious failures within West Midlands Police.

Joani Reid MP @JoaniReid My column in the Herald on Sunday: the Scottish grooming gangs inquiry is welcome. We must also confront how our third sector has become institutionally corrupted to the point where it sides with SNP ministers instead of standing with women and girls

Joani Reid MP @JoaniReid Follow The SNP are taking the biscuit. They chose to turn Glasgow into sanctuary for asylum seekers through their own virtue-signalling policies, and now they want the Home Office to bail them out.

for anyone wondering why there’s so much unbridled joy on ScotPol Bluesky about the arrest of a Scottish Labour MP’s husband for spying for China, take your pick

Might as well slice it vertically if we're going to be provocative about it- yeah, Portsmouth is in the Midlands

This is not an endorsement of Chat Morely with Matt Chorley, btw. It was just on in the background

Matt Chorley should call his radio show Chat Morely with Matt Chorley. Surely.

My gender presentation is not defined by my sexuality. It is about me not about my relationship to someone else

Just discovered that the PS3 I'm borrowing from my friend can play dvds so I'm watching season 2 of Twin Peaks ❤️🌲☕️

I have so many mutuals here in Walthamstow and Wanstead ❤️ We should have a spring picnic at Hollow Ponds or Lloyd Park
