Hmmm - my punishment for Man City would be retaining Premier Status but Premier Division North West Counties Football League. And here we are to see Man City start their campaign at 'The Bowl'; the home ground of FC Isle of Man. Next week, they play host to Ramsbottom United.

Seeing The Molotovs last night was like seeing the kids all grown up, we first saw them when they were 13 or 14 at our local music festival and they were already standing out. But last night, they were so polished and performance next level.

WTF - I wouldn't have considered bringing a coffee with me to a job interview. Who does this? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Could an iced coffee freeze you out of the job market?

My advice to someone who has just had a grievance taken out against them at work - unreasonably in my opinion - to give the grievance taker a real reason to have a grievance - is deemed unhelpful!! I thought it was more useful than my default - disappear them!

I find this completely understandable - especially in a world where we struggle to talk about grief and loss. I'm not saying this is healthy or a good thing...but I understand it. But profit-making - that's reprehensible. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

H has been written off work - I have to keep going and frowning at her and at some point she might realise that being written off work means not working...not hopping onto this meeting and that meeting. [BTW - this is very much a case of doing what I say, not what I do!!]

I'm looking forward to seeing Piddington's application to join the UN. Meanwhile - 'Build the Wall, Build the Wall!!' around Piddington. And we should implement tariffs, very strict entry requirements etc. Or consider calling them all traitors!! 'To the Tower, To the Tower!'

I stepped away from my computer for a moment. When I returned, it was building something. I did not ask it to do this. We're not ready for what's coming

Random memories sometimes pop into my head - I remember one careers talk at school where the only advice I remember is 'Don't bite your nails!' - this was from a guy who ran a company that tied flies for fly-fishing. And he would never employ people who bite their nails as he felt they no longer

However when asked about the Roman Conquest - 90% said negative - adding what have the Romans ever done for us. And I love that 6% of the Welsh are very negative about the impact of the Norman Conquest!

Made H's standing desk yesterday - there's a problem - I want it. For the first time in history, she has a bigger and nice desk than me. I can see an early 'Christmas Present' to me in the future but time to get back to sorting out her workspace.

I'm sure his great friend King Charles is really happy with his statements around the unification of Ireland. I don't know why it surprises me that he'd wade into this. Although he's such a fuckwit - he probably thinks the IRA were something do with him.

It is time for political donations and patronage on the left and right to stop. If we need to fund parties centrally, so be it. But at the moment, this is corruption. And, oh, make it a criminal offence for elected politicians to lie if they fail to disclose.

Pondering - we need a deal - we keep the Bayeux Tapestry Embroidery (that's a hill I will die on) - we return the Marbles - we return the Benin Bronzes - we return a big chunk of our museums to where they should be. We get the Louvre to do the same, we get the Met to do the same.
