You're also never too old to pay your employees the real living wage.

Ah, 4 October! Happy fifth birthday to this marvellous thing…
Tom Hollander, A Life in the Day: I wake up generally at 3 or 4am. Not because I'm like Margaret Thatcher, but because I need to pee. I pee in the darkness using my phone screen to illuminate the target, then often take half a sleeping pill ... Sometime between 6 and 8 I wake again, turn up the Today programme gently. If my girlfriend is there we hold each other in different positions. If she isn't I wrap my arms around a pillow and continue listening to the bad news. Whoever gets up first will go downstairs and start baking porridge. ... It takes about 40 minutes to cook and we eat it in such large quantities with olive oil and salt that we negate any nutritional benefits. But we enjoy it. And while it's cooking it gives us time to look at our phones. Sometimes in this waiting period I try to do three slow sun salutations to stretch myself out, but often I don't. I brew the first of many coffees. ... Owing to forces beyond my control, life has not been as busy as it used to be. … I look at myself in the mirror and try to see what others see. Examine my bald patch, weigh myself and pull my stomach in. Then let it out. Then pull it in again. If I'm feeling positive I might get dressed at this point and go for my second coffee on the street below. I've lived in the same flat for 20 years and one of the rewards for this loyalty is that I know all the shopkeepers and stallholders on the street, for whom I have become like a piece of the old furniture they sell. Hello Glen, hello Kris, Ghino! … Then take it home and leave it on the sideboard with any post that has arrived from my stalker. Then I might call my agent. "Isn't she? No, no, nothing important... just checking in..." Soon it's time for my midmorning nap. Followed by the preparation of lunch, which I start at 12.15pm. … If it's sunny I might go for a cycle ride down the canal, ifit's raining I might masturbate and doze, or speculate on the extraordinary injustice of Philip Green's knighthood…

As the circus around Drumcree grows at the expense of any meaningful effort to run this place..imho the political class and their acolytes more than anyone else need to step away and let the people most affected take the lead in resolving the dispute.

Would love to see NI put one over on Hungary and it's nasty right wing following tonight but then I remembered who we are 😂. #GAWA

Visited my mum earlier who is as staunch as they come. Her view is the OO should have welcomed the determination but chose not to march - taking the high ground. ..which made me sad because that is the sort of gesture that many people can get behind but has been long absent from our politics.

Feeling very despondent about this place tonight...are we that desperate to reopen old wounds in order to feel something/anything?

J.E. Curie @scrabopower.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
Are all these younger MPs really that desperate for a fight? I wish people close to them would be honest about how grim and relentlessly sad it all was back then.

I can believe politicians are grandstanding over parade disputes from the 90s rather than agreeing a budget.

Tottenham need to be decisive and sack De Zerbi now. His tactics are washed and he's clearly a toxic figure. #COYS

If today turns out to be another loss then time to say goodbye to this jabroni and the two fellas who sanctioned all his signings. We are approaching Juande Ramos territory here. #COYS

Are there any pro-ketchup managers looking for work? Asking in advance for a team with potentially two points after five games..could rise to nine games. #COYS

I think I'm fully onboard the misery train. Last game before the international break is usually a defeat as well. Are we looking at a pro-ketchup manager in November again? #COYS

This was a relatively kind run of opening fixtures up to the international break imho. Sometimes I wonder if it is a case of right coach, wrong time tactically again. Hopefully not.

De Zerbi definitely deserves more time but not too much. He kept us up but became our highest paid manager in the process so I'm not too attached to him tbh. #COYS regardless.

Finally saw Sigur Ros live for the first time in Belfast last night. It was good..even excellent in parts - but just all felt a bit too safe. Going to sound like an awful bore here but nothing they have done since has beaten the weird majesty of those two early records Ágætis byrjun and ().

Superb IDLES show in Belfast tonight. I had forgotten about the healing power of a good mosh pit. My limbs in the morning might tell a different story.
