tried to describe myself from A to Z but only got as far as A for apathetic and gave up. Couldn’t be arsed. A pessimist is never disappointed

Hurrah for the international break. A rest from school playground-level discourse about professional football. Instead of course we get weeks of people moaning that there’s no football, when what we actually have is as close as you’re ever going to get now to top-level football in its purest form

I find it irritating when blocking a particular genre of post, rather than stopping any more like that appearing, just makes more appear because you interacted with one. I don’t want to say what it was because it would be counterproductive, but it involves people who appear to believe themselves to

Yeah so you girls always say that men don’t listen, but have you ever considered that the last two minutes of “conversation” only existed in your head and you’ve only just invited us in to your inner monologue?

@jonnelledge.bsky.social let me just advise you that the book of Last Chance to See is probably the book I’ve re-read the most times in my life (other than things like Mr Men). Never ever get tired of it

Argentina showed in both the semi final and the final that when they forget about shithousing their way through matches they can be a really good team to watch. Trouble is they only do that when there’s nothing to lose, and they’ve managed to find some really creative ways of being utterly classless

One thing which seems to be overlooked is that the World Cup wasn’t created to see whether England can win it. There are other countries trying to win it as well. If all you’re interested in is finding out how to play the game so that it’s you that wins it, stick to your football manager simulations

Noticeable how the World Cup discourse has become a lot more acrimonious now all the cute and fluffy teams are out and all that’s left is the top rated teams that everyone wants to lose for one reason or another, plus of course everything FIFA does stinks now. It was always there, but now it’s [ … ]

Turns out Harry Kane played a round of golf with Trump eighteen months ago. Well hurrah, now everyone has an opinion to spout which has nothing to do with the match itself but means they now want England to lose. Wouldn’t it be nice to just enjoy the football and argue about politics separately

Timo sausage sleeping with one eye open, on a pile of minty fresh clean blankets, airing his plums and giving us a little ‘blep’. 

If that was Stanley it would be a BLEPPPPPPPPPPP. He could definitely do the Scooby Doo ice cream thing

They fly over our garden on the way to London. The first time we saw it, a couple of months after we moved in, we hadn’t been expecting it and my wife asked me if we were at war or something

The worst time for pop music (in the UK, and when I was still in the target age range) was the early 90s. We’d forgotten how to write songs. Most of what was in the charts was covers, re-releases, pointless drum machine remixes or tuneless dance music. It wasn’t all rubbish. Just 90% of it

The general takeaway from scrolling social media these days is not so much “the world is full of arseholes” as “the world is full of people who know better but choose to be arseholes.” It’s hard to tell whether knowing it’s preventable makes it any easier to accept, because the outcome is the same.

Not going to pretend that Level 42 were ever cool (I think that was largely the point) but A Physical Presence remains one of the best live albums ever. Don’t bother arguing because you’ll know you’re wrong

I’d like to know what Edie Brickell’s problem with dogs. Mocks the look on their faces, runs them over, doesn’t care whether he’s left outside on a cold wet night as long as the cat’s warm and dry; seems like a nice enough girl otherwise but I’m starting to wonder whether Kristi Noem was ever a fan
