Some are born great.
Some achieve greatness.

Basking in the glow of someone else’s far reaching reflected glory, as the lad whose parents’ dogs (and cat) we occasionally look after took Harry Brook’s wicket in the Ashes England vs England Lions warmup game

What’s the most entertaining film ever made, and why is it The Vault of Horror (Ward Baker, 1973)?

not sure if cartoon, sketch show or maybe a band, but anyway it fell down the back of the slightly-too-soon-for-the-internet sofa and now only exists in the minds of a handful of ageing weirdos

Rachel is Terrified of Chickens sounds like the title of one of those mid-90s things that only about twelve people remember now but were brilliant

the bond discourse has reminded me i once witnessed someone hesitantly answer "george lazenby?" to the trivial pursuit question: who captained the 1966 england world cup squad?

Bond but he’s had his pension cut off and suffered extraordinary financial losses after being being sued multiple times during the #MeTooMovement. He’s miserable and skint, boring the tits off everyone in Spoons telling the same old stories (barred from sharing the good ones by Official Secrets Act)

Other friend: nice shoes, they’d kick the eye off a spider…

Went to the dentist wearing a red and white striped jumper. When I got up to leave, a little girl loudly whispered to her mother "Found him!"

Three weeks ago, bought myself a nice tweed jacket, second hand (never owned one before) Youngest son(age 17) says, as I put it on, “alright, Dead Poets Society”

Put it on the next day and he follows it up with “captain, my captaIn”

Anyway. I‘m too proud to be angry.

Happy to be of service. I once got into a taxi in Dublin wearing a cool new outfit. I was nervous about deviating from the norm but did it anyway.

The taxi driver was on the phone when I got in. First thing he did was finish his phone call saying "I have to go, this fella's wearing dungarees"

I want to be thin but I also want all my meals to have mashed potatoes and gravy involved so it's a fine line to balance.

Happy 80th birthday to Neil Young. Thank you for soundtracking swathes of my life, old man.

This was my first Neil Young album, bought on a whim when I was 18 or so. Every single song is like a pin through the butterflies of memory.
