Hello
My football team played another football team. They did not win. They did not lose.
Things I learned. i) We are not very good. ii) It was raining in Bristol.
OTTM: No.

FFS - Mark Chapman talking about relegation positions - I bet he's bought his Xmas presents ... berk. There seems to be a trend for presenters and pundits to parade their egos about as though that is why we listen to them... him, Campbell, Arthritisanaika, Adebayo, Barnett but above all Ian "I'm the Chief Reporter" Dennis-Twat. They make their programmes unendurable.

Chumbles Nice article. Am currently watching The Avengers on the box. It seems to me that Loki is suffering from Boris Johnson Syndrome.

'Religious' bother in Glasgow.
Well I never... The JP2 banner at Ibrox was genius. I'm still jealous the Cafflics got a day off school to go see him at Bellahouston Park.
The Gorbals aren't what they were.
Some gentrification has taken place.
Most of the scary parts of Glasgow are the schemes. Though I probably wouldn't wander about Govan and a couple of other places at night time.
As a young man in that London many years ago I got myself out of trouble by affecting a broader Glasgow accent than I have. The radge reputation seemed to do the trick.
Just made ragu/Bolognese and a fair amount for the freezer. The Autumn/Winter cookup continues.
Got a wee hour on The Division 2 earlier. Good fun and managed to pick up higher level AR. More later perhaps, though I've been neglecting BOTW again.

When I moved to London, my flatmate's mother asked me where i had moved from. When I said Glasgow, she took a sharp intake of breath and sat down abruptly, and said 'oh, I'm sorry...'

When I moved to London, my flatmate's mother asked me where i had moved from. When I said Glasgow, she took a sharp intake of breath and sat down abruptly, and said 'oh, I'm sorry...' I know, most of us believe Glasgow has a permanent fimbulwinter, under whose lowering clouds, in brief flashes of eerie lightning can be seen shadowy, hunched creatures dressed in rags hurpling along pushing three-wheeled twisted supermarket trolleys. The balefire illumines their chib held in one grimy, mittened claw. As these figures move along in a kind of Brownian motion, circumspectly giving each other a wide berth, the occasional "Whoor ya gawpinat ya scunner!" Occasionally scuffles or worse break out as some injudicious soul has a bevvie and bumps the bottle agin the haft of their chib. Of course this is nonsense, but there are some grim places in all cities where it's wise not to wander late on a Saturday night. Round the back of Finsbury Park station under the railway bridges. But like the Gorbals, the horrible slum Victorian houses around have largely turned into apartments blocks... My horrible top floor boxroom bedsit was behind one of something like one of those garret windows - freezing in winter ans blistering hot in Summer. I moved somewhere safer after I scuttled there past the station and all the prossies and their pimps to find the 'manageress' son sitting on the steps because a rival gang had broken both his arms with a lump hammer so he couldn't use his key...  |

I've only been to Aberdeen, which was grey and cold, unlike Greece which I'm off to for two weeks tomorrow.

When I went to Glasgow there was an empty bottle of Buckfast on the pavement every 30 metres or so. And people drank wine at 10.30 am. Basically a slightly posher version of Sheffield.

Louis the Fourteenth
"The Sun King" died today. It
Shone out of his arse.
He was very old
When he died, as he built the
Palace of Versailles
I live in three rooms
But then I 'm not a French king
With a big ego
'L'État, c'est moi'
He said, though he was disproved:
French Revolution

You won't find it so easy getting back in. *taps furiously into warnings index* "Armless, with long purple hair, habitually wears purple, has staring eyes that give the appearance of being perpetually stoned. Lulls victims into a state of cataleptic shock by bombarding them with crappy recordings of obscure modern music. Do not let this monstrous creature back into the country." |

Have a good holiday Felice.
Halloumi on tap and deep fried ouzo. Marvellous. I've never been to Greece.
I'd need to go in Feb to stand the heat.
Hello.
Divisioning 2. Good fun. Really enjoyable. My drone is superb. Thanks to a couple of mods on stuff it lasts ages and kills/maims loads of guys. Had a run around with some level 500 guys from my clan.
Did the TV studio mission on hard. Purple drops everywhere.
This morning after breakfast I shall be making lentil broth.
