The boy, who won't watch films, was talked into it last night but wanted to watch some inappropriate horror. Managed to talk him into Gremlins instead. Bloody loved it. Gremlins 2 in the offing and a Gizmo toy on order for xmas. Great film. Plus Hoyt Axton!

I can't remember what I've done with the remote but I do know it's Gavin Page's birthday, someone I haven't seen since 1986. Silly brain.

Ventured out to the cafe that does coffee I don't like but a mean millionaire shortbread. No MS. FFS.

Anyone recommend anywhere near Malaga for mooching but mainly lounging about? Will have a car. @harrymcnally.bsky.social you're a well travelled chap.

Decided I needed warm holiday before treatments get funky and they've given me dates right in the middle of half term. Arse.

Been looking to find if there's been any new books in the Adamsberg series by Fred Vargas, which I love, and it turns out there have been two but not translated into English! Catalan and Russian are available though. Pain in the arse. #BookSky

In other news, trying to work out in what set of circumstances my dad wouldn't drop everything to answer the phone. Just rang for non important reasons and he's running out of a cafe so he could speak to me. This is the man who answers ringing phones in department stores if no-ones there.

Found the 'For You' feed because Discover was basically everyone I followed anyway. Seen some good stuff on there but fuck me, people are just miserable. I have a moan on here about stuff but some people are just 'look at all these bad thinga and feel bad please'.

Reading a very good book set in the early 50s and they used the phrase 'we're in extra time and it looks like the game will be decided on penalties'. I had to resist the urge to wake up my wife and shout 'penalty shoot outs weren't invented then'! May need help.

Random question. Can anyone recommend slippers with proper thick soles, like sliders or similar? For those who are fucked of foot but require warmth. Getting a bit nippy with just the sliders on. I'm expecting this to do numbers...

Yay! Text saying prescription finally in at the other chemist! Send the lad in to collect and expect him laden down with two massive boxes. Comes out with one bag I was already given last week and a note saying 'we owe you two big fuck off boxes of drinks' (parahphrase). Great this. 10 days now.

They've opened a record shop next door to my local real ale bar. Trying to summon up energy and failing miserably.

That first game back for City against us. If I could manage a comeback I'd be all over this. Most entertaining. Trying to adjudicate which of the offspring gets my ticket will be fun.

Told a month for Blue Badge appeal. Month goes by, told 12 weeks. 12 weeks told escalated so 10 days. 10 days later told escalated again so 5 more days. Today is 7 days, told no information. Good job I don't need it or anything. Fuck me. Sorry. Moaning.

Burnham is absolutely right that it shouldn't be against the law to drink at your seat at a football match. There then needs to be some kind of bye law enacted to stop absolute fucking helmets drinking in their seat at the match, chucking ale and generally being a pain.

Been to find out about a prescription at Tesco I ordered 10 days ago and ran out of 5 days ago and could really fucking do with. 'Yeah, we can't get that at the moment'. 'Was anyone going to let me know'? 'I don't know, I wasn't dealing with it. You'll have to go somewhere else'. Fucking great.

I can't remember any odd school assemblies to add to the discourse annoyingly. Unless you count my late period 'please expel me' days where I'd see what it was like to do poppers during it. Not too much fun unsurprisingly.

Somewhere down the Albert Dock, early 2000s, went for a piss and went up against the urinal. Which I realised was a floor to ceiling sink when a lady came out of one of the unisex cubicles and screamed at me. I was not ready for those places then.

Just dropped a record on the floor and had to use my feet to scoot it about and flip it before I could pick it up. It's fine.
