Cake-schmake. (Only joking all the cake, I love you!)
A pint of mild, posing in front of a log burner, the big poser.

I was looking for some cake and then I found some cake and Heaven knows I'm a bit disappointed.

Movie posters that could only be put up in British railway stations, one of a series of probably one.
An ad for a ghost movie with the tagline "See it. Séance. Haunted."; a reference to the British Transport Police's long-running "See it. Say it. Sorted." ads encouraging the public to report anything vaguely suspicious.

Think yer 'moral victory' only normally applies if you've lost but I drew, so in winning terms, it's really somewhere between moral AND actual.

Drew 1-1 in dominoes despite feeling a bit under the weather. One of them erm, moral victories.

While watching Klang who were supporting Black Box Recorder in Birmingham 20 odd years ago, ignoramus that I am, described one of the band as looking like a 'mumsy Donna Matthews'. It was Donna Matthews.

Younger me would recoil in horror but now, going from a bloated World Cup straight into pre-season, a chaotic transfer window and with every conceivable outrage more maxed out than ever, lovely, terrible football has felt more tiresome.

As much as I'm looking forward to Villa squeezing past Brentford this afternoon, I have for the first time ever, enjoyed the international break. Could've probably done another fortnight.

I'd forgotten that but then she helped select them. There were far better candidates, (literally any of the others). Maybe once they settle, if they get chance, they'll turn into the deceitful monsters they need to be.

Celebrity Traitors is very watchable telly but I think it's suffering a bit from having two traitors who only ever wanted to be faithfuls. Was hoping for Alan Carr type panto villainy to emerge, but there's no latent bloodlust on show and no real delight in their new murderous roles.

The Christmas meal poll has been released. There are nine options for our team of nine to choose from. Curious to see if we can mangle one vote for each, but having lost confidence in baggsying 'none of the above', I might abstain.

Been out for a walk in the rain. Tv adverts have misled me into thinking that, now showered, I should be eating a piping hot meal in front of a roaring fire, and not drinking a lukewarm cup of coffee in front of a boring spreadsheet.

As ever, and for the last time in connection with lying shit Jeffrey Archer, we remember Monica Coghlan, whose life he destroyed.

David Morrissey's character in Daddy Issues isn't the easiest watch but it is very good and I'm glad there's a third series, (please don't go all rubbish).

I'm in an airport terminal but not an actual one. It's like one of those cheapo sets that sitcoms construct and is the size of a cupboard. I don't know why I'm there but while I'm queuing, a steady line of people I haven't seen since school, exit and stop for a chat.

Absolutely delighted by the way to watch last night's episode this morning after avoiding all spoilers. Goes without saying that it's a much better watch with Acaster's moral dilemma in play rather than knobhead's narcissism.

Lovely afternoon for watching Borussia Dortmund thump Real Madrid 3-0 in the Champions League.
Possibly the Sport Photograph of the Year, as Harrogate Town are captured in scintillating action against Hornchurch in the National League. Assume the Pulitzer's in the post.

Unfair perhaps, but I find it really jarring when footballers appear to have no historical knowledge of the game.

Comedy gold from the reliably idiotic Ferdinand. Every caveat he inserts only highlights the absurdity of this situation and the ridiculousness of his manbaby mate. www.football365.com/news/opinion...

Cristiano Ronaldo fanboy Rio Ferdinand 'annoyed' at critics for 'judging him' in only rational way

Chelsea were allowed to become a 10 foot tall chicken. This allowed Man City to become 20ft chicken. Newcastle were prevented from becoming a 30ft chicken. Now everybody else has to sell their eggs in case they become massive chickens.

40 years ago, that corner of the bus would have had a small window where you could look down and check the top of the driver's head was okay. (I think the driver also used it as a kind of periscope to check on upstairs) I miss that.
Top deck of a bus, at the front. Windows looking out onto a sunny day, but sadly no little window that looks down onto the driver's place.

Once the PL welcomed Abramovich, the game was (as they say) gone. I genuinely feel for City fans whose love for the club predates the current ownership. Even the exposure of City’s ills has a seedy nature, a computer hacker at its heart. But the whole game’s toxic now and hasn’t suddenly been cured.
