I've read more about the Sally Rooney situation and I've deleted a post from me that was critical of her UK publisher. It's still an avoidable debacle that the UK government made all by itself and for no reason apparent to the general public.

On top of the most pressing issues. Making sure your mum can drop you at the airport for less than the cost of a Full English Breakfast in Benidorm.

Sally Rooney's books to be withdrawn from sale in the UK
Faber has confirmed it will stop supplying Sally Rooney's books in the UK, saying it cannot pay the Irish author royalties because of her pledge to support the banned group Palestine Action.

Autumn really isn't great. People have a romanticised view of hot chocolate and pumpkins. In reality it's windy, getting colder and darker, and lulls you into a false sense of wellbeing with one or two bright sunny days. I'm not a fan.

I used to work in Rutland Square. There is no need to reverse anywhere. It's one way on both streets leading to and from the square.

In 1981 Nelson Mandela was awarded The Freedom the City of Glasgow whilst languishing in a prison cell. Yesterday they unveiled this statue celebrating his life. It's a reminder that even when victory seems impossible there are always those who struggle for a better world. And that they too can win.

I find it hard to believe that politicians in the 21st century still believe that the main physical threat is actual stuff fired at us, and not the tsunami of bullshit that flows from foreign-based social media into our boomers' Facebook reels.

My second cousins once removed, born in the East End to Scottish parents, sounded like Arthur Fowler from Eastenders. After both wives died they used to go on coach holidays together, and I clearly remember a postcard arriving saying "we are the only Scots on the bus".

I remember this one because a group of young Jags (me included) stayed in our normal Shed spot. We moved after the goal because the atmosphere became a tad more hostile. Apologies to all the folk whose view we spoiled when we squeezed into the enclosure.

Just finished this true crime book. On the face of it a human interest story, but in reality it's about greed and criminality. People owning or managing lots of money and trying to make more by fair means or foul. I don't know how they handle the stress of all the scamming.
The cover of a book called London Falling by Patrick Radden Keefe. It's about a rich young Londoner from a wealthy background whose jealousy and greed brings him into the orbit of some dangerous criminals, leading to his death.

Good read this. Essential for anyone who is grappling with the politics of greed and consumption. Eventually it will take something you care about, and if that's your favourite sport then you are lucky. It could be your country or your life.

All quiet on the Manchester City front after last week's revelations. The idea that football can be blatantly manipulated in plain sight with so many eager participants still leaves me ill at ease.

From looking at the map on the app, there's definitely more parking needed in the City Centre.

The segregated path stopped at the edge of the commercial centre, leaving a bike/bus conflict to the station. However, having tried it once I'd do it again, this time perhaps with a bit of route planning in advance.

The bikes are in poorer condition than the Edinburgh fleet. It took three attempts to find a fully operational one. The identifier codes are largely obscured so reserving a bike is a lottery.

We had a couple of defensive slips from Loughrey and Reading, but both redeemed themselves through hard work. We look tight at the back, for sure.

Pensioner Hugh, living in RBKC's Holland Park*, has a free bus pass. (* Companies House is very helpful)
Geriatric Hugh writes to the Telegraph: 

SIR– I have given up visiting several restaurants and shops in nearby Hammersmith and Fulham because I will not pay the exorbitant parking charges. The area has a very good choice of amenities, but sadly my neighbours and I are ill-served by the authorities.
