4 things happened to me inside ~14 months between Aug 1995-Oct 1996. 1/🧵
1) After the pub on night, aged 21, I was sat on one of these in park, tipped over the handlebars, and broke my back.

Man U & Celtic both sack their managers on the same day.
If you like listening to disappointed Irish fellas on radio phone-ins, today is Christmas.

Back to work tomorrow, lads.
The last time I was at work, I was 2025 Me, and I was laughing at all the stuff 2026 Me had to do, and what a chump that guy was.
But now I’m 2026 Me and it’s not funny.

Liverpool look *terrible*. Shape, passing, confidence…everything is flat. Obviously I’d be happy for this continue forever, but clearly it can’t/won’t.

After a blip at Billion Pound Stoke, the sun is shining once more on Aston Villa.
Shout out to the bloke behind me, who relentlessly moaned his arse off through 90 minutes of total domination and 3 easy points.

I'm not necessarily saying that Grok should be set on fire, I'm just saying that in the early 1940s The Beano had a story in which Derek The Wild Boy of the Woods helps to build a giant robot Hitler, and in the end they decide to set it on fire, and it wasn't even a giant robot paedo Hitler

And Man City, Sunderland and (no laughing at the back) Spurs have all failed to win. It’s basically like the defeat on Tuesday never happened.
Liverpool, Chelsea, Man U, and Palace have all failed to win much easier games than our defeat at Arsenal. #avfc

A 2026 riddle:
Every New Years Day I meticulously clean out the kitchen cupboards and chuck all the out of date condiments, packets, tins, sauces, etc.
How come, then, do I *always* find stuff that is > 12 months out of date, such as this ginger, with a best before date of March 2023?

Well we had to lose eventually, so at least we’re doing it in style. And Arsenal fans are bound to be gracious in victory {sarcasm}.
Take the licks and move on, Villans. There is a lot more to come from King Unai and this team.

Buttons are back. Knobs are back. Dumb devices are back. Own-it-forever software is back. Print is back. Personal websites and chronological feeds are back. Touching grass is back. People keep saying 2015, but it’s not far enough. The entire 2010s were a mistake. We must retvrn to… 2009.
Amazingly, reaction times using screens while driving are worse than being drunk or high—no wonder 90 percent of drivers hate using touchscreens in cars. Finally the auto industry is coming to its senses.

We’ve been well and truly battered in that first half, so I’ll take 1-0 down to a terrible goal. Chelsea were much quicker, sharper. Some King Unai half time magic required. #avfc
