Surely Iain Banks was from Fife? Dear God, will this east coast / west coast beef never end? That’s the thing. If Scotland did “go indy”, they’ll just end up fighting each other. The Old Enemy: other Scots. |

Dear god, a collection of the broken down, the absolutely exhausted, the ones whose club managers won't play them because they have no confidence in them... and one who has hardly played this season: "I've dreamt of the call to represent my country at the World Cup since I can remember. I can’t thank the England manager and staff enough for their faith in me, and I'll do everything I can to repay that in Qatar." he can't possibly be match fit. "Gareth Southgate has remained loyal to the players who led England to the Euro 2020 final 17 months ago, with 19 of the 26-man squad retained for the trip to Qatar. According to the PA news agency, the retention rate of 73% is the highest for any England side between major tournaments. The average age of Southgate's squad has risen to 27 - from just over 25 last summer - which is the oldest since Fabio Capello's selection for the 2010 World Cup." Reminiscent of Sushi selecting his cabinet ... "Richard Browne: It's simply not possible to explain Maguire going." It's also the shortest gap between tournaments so you would expect a high retention rate of players. Plus we did reach the Euro final suggesting the players did pretty well. Specifically with Maguire while he's out of favour at Man Utd he has done fine for England. If every player were in this situation there would be a problem, but as it is just one I don't think it is an issue. Kal Phillips is probably the riskiest selection. If England do ok (qf or better) the selection will look ok. It's only if they do badly that it can easily be criticised. Everyone else is in the same position with tired or out of favour players needed. |

Those other verified accounts are imposters, only accounts with the blue circle are official verified accounts, like ol’ Terry here

When I posted today's header last night together with my response I wasn't aware that the Warhol original in Australia had been targeted by environmental protesters.
A case of Life imitating Art imitating Life, or just a coincidence?
Or just a case of who gives a fuck?

I'm thinking of stealing the Mona Lisa and chucking it at a load of cans in the soup aisle of Tesco. That'll get oil stopped good and proper.

Jackson Pollock paintings are fucking huge. Absolutely massive. Never realised. Saw a couple in one of those gallery places. You may have heard of them.
Hello. Busy day at work. Plus it was our movie night thing so I was working late.
An old colleague was in who I hadn't seen in about three years. She's now a local councillor. So closing libraries instead of working in one.
Just to round things off nicely after this mornings commute, my train is running late so I'm missing my circle line connection. That's an actual train. Not a euphemism for a drug dealer. Unfortunately.
Need food n booze.

morning. Or at least it was at 4.50when dog got me up for a phantom dump.
4 days sober after a day with drunkbuddy. He was sporting a massive shiner…. When questioned, he had not got in some manly scuffle, but had tripped on his stairs on his way back from the shops, and while ragdolling down his stairs had head butted a can of beans in mid air.
classic db.

Chucking it at a can in the soup aisle of Tesco, more likely - it's tiny. Hmm, better shout loudly so someone notices! If you threw a can of soup at Emin's Bed, you would have to work very hard to convince the Tate that you weren't just another performance artist jumping on the bedwagon... Back in 2015 "Two male Chinese artists jumped on it and had a pillow fight, a “housewife” wielding a proprietary cleaner had to be forcefully dragged away from it and a distinguished professor has seriously questioned whether Tracey Emin ever slept on it for four whole days at all, given the relatively controlled state of its continuous disarray." The Independent"Recently sold for £2.54m by Charles Saatchi, the bed’s new owner, Count Christian Duerckheim, has lent it to Tate Britain" ibid |

Now, I've been on to top scientists at the Institute of Limacology and the general consensus is that what you have there is a Deroceras reticulatum. |

Sprinted through GLC like a young Tuffers (of the track) and made my Train. Into Sainsbury's for beer and I'm now reheating cottage pie that the PM's mum made. I remembered I downloaded Death Stranding the other night so might pop that on after dinner.
Horrible out. Wet and quite windy.
