A wee trip to see the Hibees today. They should have won by 4 or 5 goals, but 2-0 was very comfortable. Some decent football on display.

The less said the better, regarding the Liverpool result today. As the old song goes, we hate Nottingham Forest, and it remains the case. Anyone who saw Robbo after the Scotland game should understand what they are going through at the moment, still a *lot* of slack to be cut for the team #YNWA 🧣

Bless him, I hope he's found the bar

Very late to this particular gathering, but I am obsessed with this Nick Cave cover of Cosmic Dancer. It was released during the first lockdown in 2020, and I was somewhat preoccupied with other matters. It's an absolutely captivating, beautiful version. Enjoy it.

A House Of Dynamite seems to have divided the room, literally in my house because I enjoyed it, but my wife and youngest daughter were underwhelmed.
I suspect that growing up under the threat of imminent nuclear immolation in the 80's has primed me to enjoy stuff like this. So I did.

Looking For A Day In The Night by The Lilac Time has finally been re-released, and for those of us who put our CD collections in the attic twenty years ago, it's appearance on streaming services spares us from irritating YouTube Playlists, and is an opportunity for others to discover it.

It's clearly not for everyone, but I'm a firm believer in the idea of winning any trophy that's available. Strong 'turning a drama into a crisis' vibes emanating from Anfield #LFC

The tragic remains of the Huly Hill Stone Circle, at Newbridge, West of Edinburgh. A manicured mound and less than a handful of stones, next to two motorways, separated from the huge outlier on the east side of the junction. There are other stones and marked rocks nearby. #StandingStoneSunday

I blame Adidas. I bought one of the new kits, first time in years, and I think I've jinxed everything. Thinking of burning it on Halloween. #LFC

Well, as the saying goes 'Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn', and normally I'd not argue with you.
However, this only holds true if the sunken city of "R'lyeh" is actually a raised bed in our back garden, and "Cthulhu" is a rather grumpy and misshapen carrot
