Been to see Bob Dylan in Leeds tonight.
How him and his band made a 13k seat arena feel like a small jazz club was truly astonishing. Fantastic gig.

Four away games in a month and a half moved from Saturday to Friday or Monday nights. All of them now needing at least a half day off work and not getting home until at least 1am if you're lucky so the next day is a struggle.
Really thinking of the fans.
Fuck Sky Sports.

How is that assault on Matt Targett not a free kick, second yellow card and sending off?

If anyone wants to know how confusing colour blindness can be that top has so far looked green, purple and only brown cos she says it is & I can get my brain to see it that way.
If I'd been forced to say I'd have gone with purple.
This is why I should never be trusted to choose colour schemes

It's usually Pacific State that gets mentioned when people think of 808 State but for me this was their masterpiece.

Just spent a lot of money on a new pair of gloves.
It'd better be a cold winter is all I'm saying.
(I have arthritic fingers and they hurt when they get cold so I'm not being entirely frivolous with my spending).

Gregggg and Philip Schofield.
Both experienced in TV and free of other commitments.
Perfect really.
Failing that Gary Lineker and Greta Thunberg just to see how annoyed the daily mail can get before they've even started

Every post from the Tory conference just makes me sad. Like watching a destitute clown begging for pennies.
In place of a speech by Victoria Atkins, the shadow Defra secretary, she is holding a “rally for the countryside” in the main exhibition hall. Her Union Jack jacket is back from the dry cleaners again.

![[Scene is ANCIENT GREECE - where SOCRATES and PLATO and others are sitting round, thinking]
1
SOCRATES:
Plato..
PLATO:
Yes Socrates?
2
SOCRATES:
Can you tell me, are you human?
PLATO:
Why… yes, Socrates
3
SOCRATES:
And would you agree, Plato, that a human knows what a chariot is?
PLATO:
Um, yep
4
SOCRATES:
So you can tell me, then
5
[Socrates produces a papyrus, showing a drawing of the corner of a chariot wheel]
SOCRATES:
*Is that a chariot*?
6
PLATO:
Well
that’s more just a bit of wheel
7
SOCRATES:
So not a *chariot*.
PLATO:
No.
8
SOCRATES:
[Producing another papyrus with the full drawing of the chariot, chopped into boxes]
So if a man were challenged to “tap the boxes containing chariots to prove you’re human” when he was just trying to check his ClubCard points... *where could he tap*?
9
PLATO:
Well you can’t tap any of them really
10
SOCRATES:
So are we not human?
PLATO:
‘Spose not.
11
[Bleak pause]
12
PLATO:
I’ll get the hemlock
SOCRATES:
Yeah
