A man who, with Ireland, proved that it is possible to manage a team to be greater than the sum of its parts.
Remembering Jack Charlton, who would have turned 90 today
World Cup Winner in 1966, Leeds legend & forever remembered for his time as Ireland manager 🙏

My first car I co-owned with my flatmates. We had to park it at the top of hills because it drained any battery placed in it and it was as fragile as an Airfix kit. We learned this one day when turning a corner only to notice the front passenger-side wheel carry on straight ahead without us.

Die Hard isn't a Christmas movie because of the setting. It's a Christmas movie because it has The Christmas Plot:
A man who is neglecting his family to focus on work learns What Really Matters through an improbable crisis around the holidays and rededicates himself to his wife and kids

Day 8
He's back again. All the same shit as last time. Some jewelry, a houseplant. Mostly birds. So many birds.
Today's horrible addition: 8 cows and 8 women. I begged him to stop. I told him he can't give me people for Christmas. He winked and said he'd be back tomorrow
