Rare midweek libations with my wife and my new bestest friend at Granvilles.

Just seen a teaser for a new Masters of the Universe film.
Surely it couldn’t be any worse than the Dolph Lundgreen version with the Cosmic Key synth doohickey.
At least ILM are doing the VFX.

When Zavvi says delivering in 3 days - what they actually mean is 3 days after they dick around for a whole week 🤦‍♂️

My second comedian of the week today. Following a BAFTA winner on Sunday, seeing an ex-England Para-footballer tonight.
Only ever seem to get comedy tickets at the larger venues.

Found out ASDA stopped supporting the Blue Light Card last May.
Wondered why I wasn’t getting those sweet discounts when scanning the app.

Going to see local lad, Jack Carroll, perform a tour preview at The Old Woollen, Farsley tonight.
Another Leeds venue with a half decent keg and low alcohol beer selection. Bonus is its betwixt Amity taproom and Cargo Wines.

A pea-souper driving into Bradford. Only 1 in 20 cars with their fog lights on 🤦‍♂️

Every week my daughter’s goalkeeping coach sends out a WhatsApp questionnaire to ask who is coming or not to training.
Every week parents unnecessarily message to say why their daughter isn’t coming.
Whats the bloody point of the questionnaire?!!!

They’ve put self scan tills in Stanningley Lidl. Tried to do a quick shop in my lunch break but had to call for assistance 8 times due to glitches.
No wonder older folk swerve these abominations.
On a positive note I did buy a cordless chainsaw.

Soulwax, 02 Victoria Warehouse, Manchester.
Yes, they had three drummers (for the whole gig) which was amazing.

Still find social distancing on #BargainHunt weird. The BBC cheaping out on reruns.

Back on the gig horse this week after a Christmas hiatus. Off to Manchester for some of Ghent’s finest.
Enjoy Soulwax in all their guises. My most fond memory was a five hour 2manydj’s set at The Elbow Rooms in Leeds.

Folk complaining about #TheFACup not being on free-to-air TV need to discover BBC Radio 5 Live.
Grown to enjoy it as I will never pony up for TNT.

Last bottle in Morrisons.
I’m a sucker for boxed or waxed bottles.

My daughter, who never watches films with us, is going to the cinema to see Marty Supreme (with a friend).
She did ask me what’s it about - Table Tennis and Timotheé.

My daughter just said her friend says I have good taste in music. That’s made my weekend.

Just watched Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire on Netflix. Won’t be in a hurry to watch it again. Feels like a missed opportunity of a fan-service failure.

3°C and raining. Thank goodness my daughter’s goalkeeper training is postponed.
Peggy has the right idea.
