It really was a pleasure. Least of all, cos you remembered who I was. Yes, they were ace. They always are. Rain schmain. I’ve only just dried out now, but to be fair, I’ve been for a shower! Daughter happened across a young girl who was stuck, so we had to get her home. Took two fucking hours.

Franz Klammer winning the Olympic downhill in 1976. I was 4. First proper ‘news’ one probably Elvis dying 18 months later, although there were lots of sporting ones later in ‘76, FA Cup semi/final, summer olympics, James Hunt etc, and the cup run in 1977, kept a scrapbook through that. Still got it.

I do, even though my ma was (is) a Hibee, I hate them more than Hearts. Sorry…

I remember that from Twitter. Every 3rd May (yes, including yesterday) I think of you. I really believe it’s on again. I just hope it’s not *thaym* who benefit this time round.

I’ve come here tonight purely to speak to you Bruce. By now, I’m sure you must feel there’s another Albert Kidd day just around the corner? Fuckin’ REEKS of it, imo.

Four months left, only need to do another 50 hours’ overtime to break last year’s earnings PB. If they have me in on Dec 25/26 that drops by half. Rostering won’t know what’s hit ‘em in 2027 when the mortgage is paid off. They’ll be lucky if I do 4 days a week then…

Only the true grafters were up and at it at 0530 today. Lovely crisp Sunday morning, clear as a bell. Love this job so much I’m knocking off at 2 then going back to it 12 hours later. It’s deffo that and not the 12 hours OT I’m getting paid on top to cover someone who’s gone sick. Nope.

No, I don’t go any more and doubt I’ll ever go again either unless it’s a corporate freebie. Manchester is always a goer though, especially if the sun’s out…although it does depend on the trains cos like fuck I’m getting a bus.

Ah well, ne’er to worry. However, when the weather turns, I will endeavour to find time for a jar anyway.

You never told ‘the tale’ of that, although that’s probably because it’s for telling in person rather than on the internet. If I ever get round to having a pint with you again, I shall insist on finally hearing it.

I’m impressed that a Leeds boozer has views of the M602 tbh.

I reckon that must be a piss easy jib. Was at a bar right outside a couple of years ago when Chic were on and I could have dead easy just wandered in and nobody would have noticed. Might try it next summer.

Out and back in 23 and a half hours, with about 4 hours on the piss in the city and a bus full of lads asking who the fuck did I know in Milan that I wasn’t stopping to drink with them. I only knew about 6 of them ffs! Trainers destroyed in them fucking bogs in the San Siro. Mint but near killed me.

Had the table next to Mike from Mike’s Carpets (and glamorous blonde companion) at the Frontier, Batley, around 1994/95ish. This HAS to be the winner, right? How can anyone out-shit this?

It’s one of life’s certainties. Isn’t ever going to happen, not even if they expand it to 64 teams. I’m sure Hamish knows what I was getting at…

As long as you have digs booked they just check your coupon matches the passport photo and wave you in. There *could* be issues in a World Cup if you get beyond the group stages and can’t be sure where you’ll be for the knock out games, but, well, you know…

View from Manchester Road, looking down Kiln Hill. Was in Slawit having a few pints on Sunday afternoon. Cricket season nearly upon us, sadly the club are ruining the summer for me by taking San Miguel off and replacing it with Krony. Livid.

It must have still been holding meetings in the mid-late 1970s, cos my dad took me to one there, think he wanted to see if we’d enjoy it before he took us to Odsal to watch proper stock car racing.

Think this is the longest I’ve ever seen that bridge between repainting and being graffiti’d. Have The Pies all died out or summat?

Oh fuck, wish I’d seen this first. So sorry, lost both my dogs earlier in the year and know the emptiness it leaves.
