He looks like a cormorant about to be cleaned by RSPB volunteers.

I consider this to be antisemitic. Standing up and pissing about getting bags before the plane is close to stopping moving is part of our cultural heritage passed down from parent to child for generations.

The 40th anniversary remastered release of Dire Straits Brothers in Arms sounds great on a decent stereo.

Incredible work from everyone involved here

I'm mildly impressed.

Horrible here.

Bold claim, but the bread they've put on my table in this restaurant is literally god tier bread. Sits somewhere between ciabatta and normal bread. I think it is literally the best bread I've ever tasted. They've literally ruined all other bread for me. Bastards.

Maybe the "if we win this game we'll earn enough money to replace most of you pricks with better players" team talk didn't hit the motivational mark.

Currently drinking in a bar in Genoa and thinking that other countries might not have actual Holts pubs but in a very real sense they all do. And this is one of them.

I was convinced that my metal kettle wasn't reaching proper boiling point. I cleverly worked out that the best test was to press my ear to it to see if I could hear if it was bubbling. This was not the best test.

I'm in Genova and it's great. Edgy but in a kinda hot way.

I'm listening to Joy Division and drinking whisky. That's the real Eurovision.

WTF just happened?

I'm so waiting here for the inevitably graceless Pep interview.

That's joyous. Fuck knows how palace fans felt throughout that. I was a bag of nerves as a sort of city hating neutral. Scenes.

We're all 🦅 today, aren't we?

I bought some Stella unfiltered due to being in a shop with very poor options and, you know, it's actually not bad at all.

Oh just noticed Espanyol v Barca is on ITV4. Local derby. Barca can win the league. Espanyol can guarantee safety. What's not to like?

What a time to be alive 😍

What George Lucas got right about the original trilogy, but has never managed to replicate since, is that I was a little kid when those came out

If you're complaining "the Pope is a globalist" then when you hear what side of the debate he was on during the Reformation it will blow your minds. Of course the pope is a fucking globalist. It's the fucking pope.
