Lapsed influencer. Geordie (*VERY*). Arty. Amicable. Nice. Previously did football for adidas, Nike, Puma, World Soccer, Guardian, NY Times, BBC.

I think they’re playing 50 Shades of Grey on the telly. I genuinely have no idea. It might be Neighbours. Don’t know.

This is one of those things that simply shouldn’t be possible. It’s like if Arsenal drew the Chicago Bulls. They exist in different worlds.

Being called the P word, the W word, S@mbo, refugee etc - as a kid - never leaves you. There is no “nice” racist language. It doesn’t exist so stop trying to excuse it.

I am just a few years younger than Farage and went to the local comp. My family stood out because we were 'darker' (Italian), we had a funny surname, ate different food and Dad used to sing opera very loudly in the bathroom, shattering the peace in our quiet very English suburb.

One of multiple recent trips into Newcastle on the bus this morning (I’m away to Manchester). Fleet could do with an upgrade (that’s happening*), but punctuality and journey times way better than they were a couple of years back. Fares capped too. Good.

… That's great, it starts with an earthquake
Birds and snakes, and aeroplanes
And Lenny Bruce is not afraid

Alabi starts to make the bench regularly within a year. Would need a lot of weighing up.

Digging through some (between) lockdown photos when I maxed out my allotted ‘outside’ time away from work by walking around with camera. What a strange time that was. Anyway, this was December 2020 with a sweet little Minolta zoom lens.

Had a good few tears there, that’s really hit hard. An absolute force of nature. We’ve lost one of the true greats.
Many rivers to cross
And it's only my will that keeps me alive
I've been licked, washed up for years
And I merely survive because of my pride.

Adelphi. Black Velvet. Alanah Miles. The music has went to shit here. We’ve had two Prince records and Bowie’s Catpeople but it’s been mainly poodle rock. The days of Appetite by Prefab Sprout are over.
