Slim pickings in the auld football today.
Only Prem Lg match is 7th v 11th. Or, The Battle for the Top of the Middle of the Table as Sky will bill it.
Sadly, nothing great in the Championship either.
Might give Millwall v Ipswich a go. Failing that, it's 90 mins of "Mo Salah's Egypt" v Sth Africa.

Every Christmas Eve, I like to watch "It's a Wonderful Life". Every year, something new surprises me. Something like this skull-shaped paper weight on Potter's desk.
It's a wonderful fim.

Sad that this leak appears to have come from the office of Minister Jim O'Callaghan (FF).
FG had seemed most likely to start bashing* immigrants.
Maybe FF will start punching down too after their recemt election fuck-up?
(*Metaphorically, of course. They're not thugs. They just incite thugs).

It comforts me to believe that every time Prince turned up at a do, there were a couple of concerned aunties who'd corner his Purpleness and ask... "and, tell us, are you still at the music, love?".

Odd how famous comedians are (rightfully i.m.o.) being called out for taking money off the country that funded Al Qaeda and ISIS, yet famous football clubs like Manchester United (Saudi Telecom) don't get called out for it and neither do Liverpool (cf Standard Chartered's links to ISIS)

Not only the worst performance I have ever seen from an Irish team but possibly the worst performance I have ever seen [full stop].

I am a firefighter in a TV show.
The other guys in the station are my brothers and sisters. Except the captain. He thinks I'm a hothead - but I get the job done, goddammit.
Also, that Norman Price needs a good kick up the hole.

I live for my job but it doesn't make me happy.
As a reformed alcoholic with quirky taste in music, my relationship with my beautiful ex-wife is... complicated.
One time, somebody I loved died violently, but I don't like to talk about that.

I like polishing glasses with a cloth I keep slung over my shoulder. I am the soul of discretion and my customers are like children to me. I never, ever, go outside the bar. My empty glasses collect themselves.
