Anyone else feel like they're just going through the motions? Just existing. Work, eat, sleep & go again without anything to look forward to? Neither up nor down, not struggling, just need a good blowout at a gig or a holiday. 6 more months of this over winter will break folk.
Been a little stressed at work lately. A colleague suggested letting pets sleep on the bed helps so I tried it last night. Had a great kip, as fresh as a daisy. My 3 goldfish are dead and bed is soaking though. Fish tank for sale.
I see Gary Neville is twisting all the right knickers. I don't agree with everything he and Lineker tweet but it's quite something to see all the GBeebies free speech champions insisting football pundits shouldn't be allowed to have personal opinons.
Ah fuck. I hope he's at peace but this has booted me straight in the feels. A better man you're unlikely to ever meet. The notion that people who fight life debilitating diseases are brave is nonsense but you'll struggle to encounter a braver man. RIP Doddie Weir.
Imagine thinking the Chinese are smart enough to develop a virus and use it to shut down the entire world but stupid enough to leave some clues for Gary and Karen on Facebook to find.
I've been angry as fuck at the world for too long now. Allowed myself a free pass for a bit since mum died. Free pass ends today. There isn't a switch but it's draining & concentrating on nice things can't hurt. I'm not going to feel guilty laughing either. The smile is back.
I buried my mum on Monday. The hardest thing I've ever done. There's just a massive hole. Been to the cemetery this morning for some quiet time with Grace.
That Kate Garraway is every bit as hateful as Morgan or Madeley. Toxic, backwards fuckwittery piped into peoples homes daily masquerading as news. The Tories couldn't get away with it without the likes of these.
My kid sister has had the year from hell. Lost their kid, diagnosed bipolar, tried to take her life several times. We've just been for a 2 hour walk together having not seen each other for 3 months & she handed me a wedding invitation. Bottle it. Today is a good day 💙
It would be great if Mark Radcliffe dropped Beastie Boys - Sabotage, uttered "fuck this shite, I've had enough" and walked out. I'll hawd my wheesht about the rest of it but fucking with BBC Four & 6music is taking piss. Thou shall comply.
My mum's birthday today. She would have been 61. Except she isn't. I've deliberately kept busy, working overtime thinking I'd sit for a quiet half hour with photos later but it hit me like a brick last couple hours. I'm fine but I really could do without greeting at work.
I've had an accident at work. Gust of wind blew fire door closed on my fingers, it wouldn't open again. About to go into theatre to try and save 2 fingers. On the plus side, mmm, morphine.
Gareth Southgate: 'Sanctions are worthless if there is nothing alongside that to help educate people. I’m not sitting here just criticising what’s happened tonight. We have the same issue in our country, we’re not free of it'
My mum was rushed into hospital late last night with what we now know was a minor stroke. The 2 25 year old paramedics who spent an hour checking her in her bed, reassuring her, making her comfy are bloody heroes. So calm, so measured in very difficult circumstances. 💙 the

We've now got the biggest death toll in Europe, we've never really been in lockdown, Johnson has gone missing again yet folk are desperate for their kids to go back to school, for football to return & believe the govt doing their best. I don't understand the British public.
Was there in freebie Corporate box with the bank I worked with. 8 suits, mainly rugby divs and me and my mate. The rugby suits didn't even flinch when he hit this. Me and my mate were necking fine wine from the bottle and knocking tables over.
On this day in 2002 Zinedine Zidane scored THE perfect volley. In the Champions League Final. In a kit with no sponsor. Wearing the adidas Predator Mania. Pretty good day at the office.
9 1/2 wks on, I've just had the okay from my hand surgeon to return to work on light duties, phased return, in 2 weeks. Weekly physio for next 8 wks then hopefully see surgeon for final time. After fearing losing them, I'll take this.
Protect the NHS from Tories at all costs! ✊
Fair fucks to West Brom. Even I'm not surprised they did that though. If little old me knows their history of excellent black players, how TF can a season ticket holder not? How can they worship black footballers but think black people they don't know are inferior to them?
Gran passed away peacefully in the night. We got the call on Thurs saying it was a matter of hours so it's not a shock. She's had an awful year health wise so we're glad she's at peace now. 89 is a fair knock. The strongest woman I've known.
Agnes 'Nessie' Kennedy. RIP gran 💙
Came of my meds a few weeks ago cos I was feeling great. Stupid decision. The anxiety is crushing me. Time for another extended break from here. I will get back on that bike.
Mad how others listen to your wise words but you don't, eh?
Be cool everyone ✊
I made the mistake of looking at the hashtag for poor Archie Battersby on here. A bin fire of awful takes. There's a reason doctors & judges are trained to decide these things & Joe or Jane Bloggs don't get to decide.
I wouldn't bother looking if I were you.
Rest in peace, kid.
While everyone is talking about mental health, let's not ignore the impact of misusing alcohol and cocaine. Had another mate lose everything he holds dear this week.
One of the worst things to come out of Covid was it gave alt right cranks like this prick a platform. First Brexit. Then Covid denial. Now an expert on everything & a full on conspiracy theorist. Every town has these sort of know-all pub landlords.
The Rhodes fire will end up being treated as arson, yet the World right now will bang on about climate change, climate change, climate change, just to scare everyone.
I tweeted about this earlier in the year, it’s an agenda.
Just popping on to wish everyone a Happy Christmas. Been struggling like fuck, back in the depths, taking some much needed time off here to get my head sorted.
Ta for all the shouts & sorry to any I haven't got back to.
Give a quiet pal a shout 💙
Grealish’s kid brother was 9 months old when he died? 😫
I hope the cunt who posted that gets a bigger shoeing than the prick who punched him ever does.
Logging off here for a few days. Have a great one when it comes everyone.
A wee reminder that for loads of folk this isn't a happy time of year for all sorts of reasons. A get through it couple of days. Give a quiet pal a shout before you get on it if you can.
✌️
