There’s a slight worry about Ole coming back to Man United as caretaker manager from me. Just my opinion but think you should never go back.

Been a year since the business I worked for started to go pear shaped. Absolutely awful time. Had a great time in 2025 though after the business was wound up.

Genuinely wondering if predictive text has got worse or it’s just because I’m getting older.

I’m up like a lark this morning. -8 degrees in Manchester. A light dusting of snow that will no doubt cripple the traffic north Manchester. Daughter can’t be arsed and wants to stay off and continue the Christmas holiday.

I love nothing more than walking round Manchester and finding new little places.

23:36 and I’ve never wanted to go to bed more.

No greater proof that the taste buds change with age than trying Guinness. Tried it at 18 and it was awful. Now? Like cold coffee. And I drink loads of coffee.

Xmas day i drank Trailblazer in a Joey Holts pub and that was tasty.

Woke up and I’ve found my new Christmas ick.

The family Christmas photo in matching pjs.

Absolutely not.

Merry Christmas everyone!!

There’s a village bakery in our town and people brag about getting a sourdough loaf after queuing for 2 hours. On a Saturday morning!

Absolutely baffles me just how many people will stand in a queue for food and drink. Waiting in line for one and a half hours for a waffle at the Xmas market or two hours for a slice of cake from a shop that’s newly opened.

I bought this issue! What a great magazine.
The 1991 MM Xmas special didn't have the most festive cover ever, but c'mon. This full-color hologram was seriously kick ass - plus the mag itself was absolutely jam-packed with meaty goodness. Almost 200 pages of reviews, previews, features, and general madness and mayhem. Epic!

Gave Blood yesterday and was asked if I’d donate instead for the eye serum they produce somewhere in Liverpool.

Amazes me what the can do.

Anyone who’s arsed, this is how it helps people. 1 donation, 5 months of treatment for one person.

Watched Sean Combs The Reckoning.

Sounds like he got rich cos he never paid anyone. He was rich and everyone around him were skint.

Would have been nice to find out something about these parties as well but rich people are involved, so fuck that eh.

My sister worked at an old folks home years ago and she said they’re worse than teenagers for it.
Work in an old peoples care home, the most common regret about their lives is the sex they didn't have. Now a lot of them are making up for that.

Really can’t be arsed with Amorim. He’s not brave enough to be a United manager. Too many excuses. Too defensive. Too stubborn.

My TikTok algorithm is showing me people who are pissed off about their relationship breakup and they’ve gone straight to making a video of it.

Can’t wait to see the further adventures of the woman who’s just said “Shits about to get real”!

Freaks me out when a FB group has a new member introduce themselves and post a photo of themselves. “Hi, my names Keith. Thanks for accepting me into this group”

It’s not as bad as people who have business cards printed with a photo of themselves on the card though.

Not sure what happened or what’s going on….but I’ve noticed a few friends have turned to drinking Guinness. And they’re treating it like it’s the best thing they’ve ever tasted. Not even the same friendship groups either.

Did the thing of watching The Witcher and then wanting to play The Witcher on my Xbox. Only this time it keeps crashing within 5 minutes of starting.

Starfield did the same thing. And so did the Indiana Jones game.

The school run is gonna break me one of these days. Local council thinks it’s a good idea to have roadworks on every road out of the area.

Don’t wanna piss anyone off, but I’m really enjoying The Witcher season 4.

Think of Cavill being swapped out like James Bond does.

I remember this magazine so vividly. Probably still got it somewhere. I miss the days of heading off to the corner shop to grab a mag.
35 years ago, Mean Machines featured Robocop on its cover. Top reviews: Mega Drive Populous (93%), Strider (92%), Budokan (87%), Rambo III (86%), Forgotten Worlds (85%), and Rainbow Islands (92%), NES Spy vs. Spy (84%) and Bubble Bobble (85%), and SMS Columns (89%). What a month!

Refused to take a call this morning because whoever was trying to contact me had emailed me earlier and mentioned ‘onboarding’.

Fuck that.

I don’t wanna hear how great Arsenal are to watch. First time I’ve seen them really this season and all they’ve done is dive in the corners looking for a free kick.

I’m shocked. Thought they were better than this. Is this how it is now. Stoke v2.0
