Celtic, TV, music, cooking / food.
Also puerility.
Not bad from Richarlison.

Peter Drury as usual making Alan Partridge sound like Barry Davies within the first few seconds.

Place a new advertising tax on gambling firms. Seriously, that’ll make a serious contribution to the public coffers, the number of ads they run before and during matches is utterly eye-watering.

Last night was a dreadful slog for #CelticFC but the shot in the arm that comes from a last second stunner like that could help keep our heads above water until January. Here’s Radio Scotland very enjoyably urging the final whistle, to no avail.

An advertising spend of £2bn puts the industry's bleating of "you'll destroy jobs if you tax us more!" into context. They're fucking rolling in cash.

Worth remembering that when you’re humming the greatest Stone Roses songs - Resurrection, Fools Gold, I Wanna Be Adored - you are humming Mani’s bass melody. Not Squire, not Brown, but the bass line

Terrible news

I don't use the word lightly, but this is really just evil isn't it. "Your identity makes us uncomfortable so be gone from public spaces." Fuck off.
I mean come on: we'll ask but reserve right to exclude you on the basis of how you look. Oh, and if you try to use your birth sex specific facilities we'll kick you out of those as well.

Get fucked.

I see we’ve never lost our minds so much as we can’t lose them a little more….the sheer state of this. The first word of the headline is evidently redundant, but hey.

Calvin and Hobbes were formative for my sense of humour, and I still dip in and out of Watterson’s strips today. Fantastic article by Luke.

For thousands more years the mighty ships tore across the empty wastes of space and finally dived screaming on to the first planet they came across — which happened to be the Earth — where due to a terrible miscalculation of scale the entire battle fleet was accidentally swallowed by a small dog

Someone's going to do a right line in "Trump Is A Cunt" t-shirts for the Scotland fans next year, aren't they?

It was especially good to watch that with two of my twenty-something sons; about time that their generation had a Scotland match like that.

The BBC Scotland commentary for Kenny McLean’s halfway line goal is glorious. Stuff of dreams. 🔥

Congratulations #Scotland, see you at the World Cup.

At times like this, reminded again about the Red Dwarf take on Scotland and its World Cup luck….
