Do not understand the Bob Dylan love at all. There's nothing he's done that's anywhere near as good lyrically as anything on Graceland.

I seem to remember one game in the Redknapp era that rivalled that - against Watford maybe? Like 30 shots and no goals.

To be honest I'd rather be us than them. I'd find it very tiring if I got stressed being served by a brown person at breakfast and having to think what that meant for the English culture. Is this sausage a bit foreign? Are these napkins gay? Exhausting. No wonder they're all miserable.

My oldest is completely convinced by an idea that you can have 13 months of 28 days each plus a New Years Day which is outside the month system. Then every month would be perfect (as long as leap year days were also outside the month system, I have not discussed his thoughts on this issue yet).

The demographics are going the wrong way for that. He can probably effectively unite a rapidly shrinking pool of hardcore leavers but it's getting smaller by the day.

I have to repeat the things I am going to the shop to buy like a mantra and then get them as soon as I walk in. Walking down the street saying "Milk, toilet paper, lettuce, milk, toilet paper, lettuce" like a crazy person. Otherwise I'll just come out with some interesting cheese or something.

The worst one I've seen is this:
Jeffrey Epstein sent a link to the white nationalist podcast The Right Stuff, whose core hosts played an active role in the 2017 “Unite the Right” rally. He did so in February 2016. Before TRS made national news, really.
