Olympia cancelled two gigs. Tossers, had a hotel booked. It’s in London, so can probably do something. Trying to switch the dates.

Little Brother got like three tins, and a bundle for Pokemon cards on the Amazon invitation. Not due till like mid October. The crash is here. We’re struggling to offload our swaps.

Government obsessed with digital IDs. What positive difference will that do to our lives? Great British Firewall will be here next. We are no different to China or Russia. We’ve lost our way.

Hasn’t Mr Burnham got more important matters to talk about than football/ Man City?

Had a meeting with a nurse at the GP surgery. They said that the team like consultant, social worker manager, social worker and even GP had an appointment about me. The nurse seemed to believe that the personal budget might actually happen. I believe it when I see it. Been ten years.

Did the Nation’s 5k around South Park. Fell over a tree root on the way down, on the second lap. Flew like two metres or so. Wasn’t injured so got up, and carried on.

People are reading too much into: Nico O'Reilly, Rodri and Guehi mistakes during the international game. Nothing to do with Man City financial foul play. Exaggerating psychological impact. Not helpful. Just had bad performances.

Like did we even need to do a tribunal on Man City? The level of money their UAE owners were pushing was quite blatant. Chelsea most likely did the same under their Russian oligarch owner. Sort of like Reform in politics. The game gone. Society is sick, rotten to the core. Corruption rinks.

Three in four UK GPs ‘too busy to talk to their patients in depth’
Family doctors’ professional body finds the majority have no time to discuss preventative measures A friendly chat with your GP about your life, health and happiness was once a key part of the UK’s family doctor service. But most GPs no longer have time to have pastoral conversations, because they are too busy dealing with the country’s rising tide of illness, research reveals. Continue reading...

I had a special trip with my dad last couple of days. It was his 80th birthday last month. We stayed near the Tower Bridge and the view were an amazing sight to have.

Polictical correctness has gone mad. Like the shirt announcement shouldn’t have been scheduled for 9/11. If we’re going to delay the announcement, we should’ve done it for 9th November. Play into stupid Americaness. This 93 is clutching at straws. Like our name is Oxford United, founded in 1893.

Been on a run. Then we’d finger food in a pub. Managed to get another two Pokemon poster 30th anniversary collection in the wild. Been printed to the ground. Went to the pictures in the evening, saw ‘Pressure’.

Been to the Live at the Apollo recording tonight. 🎥 Two episodes: Sue Perkins (host), Sean Welsh, and Ayoade Bamgboye. Phill Wang (host), Paddy Young, and Amy Gledhill.

It’s not surprising that Reform had received record donation(s). To get how much coverage they’d for a minor party was obvious they’d received a pretty penny. Cheating the system. Funny they’ve clearly alienated the press, and media so they keep reporting these hypocritical behaviours non stop.

Four hours walking around Oxford’s Open Doors with papa. Walked in a gigantic circle, managed to visit: St Mary (University church), Wadham College, Keble College, St Giles Church, The Oratory, Somerville College, The Castle Mount, The Prison

Dembele, Sibley & O’Donker scoring today. Players we doubted, doing good today. That’s what we want, people trying and taking their opportunities given. #OUFC

It’s Oxford’s Open Doors this weekend. Popped in Rhodes House, St John’s College & Real Tennis Court (second oldest in England) as walking through town.

That Apple Duo, flip phone is an insane price. Like £2K. Like one could get a decent: mobile, tablet and laptop for that price. Overpriced.

There’s a serious leak outside my yard. It’s pouring out, non stop. Like been at least twenty hours. Like I thought we’re in a hosepipe ban? Thames Water are crooks.

“Almost half of people in Britain live in areas where economic growth does not translate into a better quality of life”. The same week the government said hundreds of employees at B&Q and Five Guys wasn’t paying minimum wage.

Some of the Spider-Man CGI was crap, and lazy done. Should have deleted if that was the best they could do. Javing on the eye.

Managed to take part in the run club this evening. Positive conversations, and was good to be out as felt under the weather with a cold or something.

We managed to catch Cyrano de Bergerac in the West End before its closure. Funny, was worth seeing. Can see why it won Olivier.

Good, it was only separated into three so Labour had better chances controlling the Greater Oxford Council.

Me, and my brother went to another card show in Oxford during the weekend. These sellers had their prices higher. But were negotiating. We did buy quite a lot of cards. Nothing overly expensive though.

I’ve crashed out twice today. Like midday and then in the evening. Not sure why I get so tired to fall asleep in the day.

Verbal venting isn’t helpful and very selfish. I think it would be better to put these negative energy into something positive. Like creativity, activity or righting the wrong and motivation.

What we bought change, especially when the owners wasn’t transparent and we in a self made transfer embargo as our owners has little interest anymore. It’s going to be bang average season, lack of entertainment and limited enthusiasm from me. Like mid table at best.

Government should be AI. AI would debate legislation and put it forward. There wouldn't be MPs, and Lords as it shall be AI. Saving money. More going to services and infrastructure. Eliminating corruption, dodgy donations, misspending, and political parties.

AI will probably have better: healthcare results, solutions, outcomes, knowhow, bedside manners, empathy, people skills, no biases, prejudices and be of ethnics if it wasn't programme by a doctor. We can soon say the same with law, with solicitors and judges. Politics too. The truth hurts...

Mr Burnham is announcing loads of stuff. Why couldn’t Sir Starmer do the same? Starmer was led by clueless Tory lite advisors, following the status quo and Starmer blindly followed. Got him sacked with a massive majority. Couldn’t even do a term. Starmer is going down in history as a mediocre PM.

Tonight at Court Place Farm. Haven’t been for awhile, multiple seasons. Shop, club house looking better now. More seats then whenever last been. Very sloppy, guess not had much training sessions together. City goal was well played by the winger, got behind the defence and put a square along goal.
