Depressing as shit.
Magnificent film.
Maybe my favourite film of the year.
Definitely.
Maybe.

The clock's stopped at 1.10am...

39 big ones eh Pop's?
It all seems like yesterday
Remember the pool balls I saved up for from my paper-round money?
They're regarded as antiques now
Fancy a game later?
We'll share a glass or two of your home brew
Talk about the old times

🎵 Maradona was good
But he was off his head
Messi was alright
Until a Tuesday night
When he played the Reds

Oh Mac Allister
Oh Mac Allister
He's the best there's been
From the Argentine

Oh Mac Allister 🎵

Rather than clicking on the #cricket sites and reading the same regurgitated garbage from David Warner and Stuart Broad, why don't you treat yourself to one of my lovely books from the last 2 Ashes Series? It's nearly Christmas. Make a lovely present too.

For all the England cricket fans celebrating Pat Cummins injury and absence from the first Ashes Test Match and maybe the Series....I have two cautionary words for you:

Scott
Boland

Roll on the Ashes. Can't beat watching cricket through the night.

A day in the life of the lost and bewildered.

Brilliant mental health drama.

Although the series ends up lionizing a monster, it's creepy as fuck and the music is a joy. Best serial killer drama since the last serial killer drama.

As I can’t stop thinking of this film (watched for the first time last night) and I’m trying to juggle some words into some kind of coherent order for a spoiler free review, I may as well recommend this again here.

Does “creepy as fuck” constitute a review?

Creepy and disturbing, and a rather marvellous movie.

Fancy a creepy as fuck horror double bill?

My current re-read. I used to be awkwardly average at talking to strangers. Now I talk to strangers via some form of electrical voodoo and witchcraft, and all I hear is my voice echoing back to me. Some I'm talking to myself, a stranger in my own mind.

Cup of tea?

Beautiful Ironbridge earlier this afternoon.

Hello Reds. As it's that time of the year once more, I may as well promote my book from last season.

I've tried in vain to show this off to the world (by Christ I've tried) but I don't have the audience. If you see this, appreciate a RT or re-post #LFC #liverpool
