I'm going to Bruges this weekend. For 3 nights. So it seems fitting to watch In Bruges again. Farrel and Gleason superb in a wonderfully dark comedy.

β€œThere is not a single sign of any overall economic damage done by Brexit” says Nigel Farage Meanwhile back on planet earth by almost every economic & financial measure Brexit has been disastrous for the UK Is anyone seriously buying his bull****? Get the FACTS hereπŸ‘‡ youtu.be/DQRzdz-7R8U?...

Another funeral today for a mate, part of our walking football team, Millwall for life. Over 250 in the church and after at the wake. Seems I'm at that age where funerals become more frequent than weddings. RIP Chris

MAGA isn't even good at lying anymore.

JD Vance blatantly lies: "We've made a lot of progress. Inflation is way lower today than it was when we took office." (Inflation has gone up!)

JFC. Mad orange man baby strikes deal with Dr. Evil. We are fucking doomed

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

The Burnham speech yesterday as superb. Signalling the change needed to put the UK back at the forefront of values, compassion and fairness

Wife away on youngest daughter Hen weekend. In typical rock n roll style I've painted the front door, the back door, tidied & reconfigured the garage, pumped all car tyres up tidied the shed, done 2 clothes washes now drying on the line, walked the dogs. Fuck's happened 2 me?

The David Bowie Lightroom experience was absolutely stunning.... A real festival vibe as we sat on the floor with wine and enjoyed a wonderful exhibition of the greatest artist to have lived.

On August 6 1945 , the US dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, signalling the end of the war in Japan. In other news.... 15 years later ...I was born. So not all door and gloom then! Present from Mrs GJ.... Mothership Box Set on vinyl. She knows....

This is turning up daily in my email box. Its mental in truth as I'm hugely anti- gun unless at war and it's me or him/her..... What a fucked up world.....

Haters focusing on Liddle's violence toward his pregnant partner, his galloping racism, or his repeated defences of paedophilia, should remember to mention he was also one of the worst writers to ever do it. A calorie-free hack of the first water. Just absolute dogshit, back to front.

Am I staying up for the game? An afternoon bbq and a few glasses of wine says no. Also... I'm 64 ffs..... Irrespective of anything else 1am is a big fat 'NO' Good luck England.

Illegal Eagles night in Pompey. Utterly superb . Fuck all you tribute band haters. This is just brilliant πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘οΈ

Who do I want to win the #worldcup2026? Anyone who beats Argentina. Anyone. I have an irrational dislike for them, possibly dating back to Rattin. I do think Messi might be < Pele now though. Never forget how he destroyed #cfc defence as a youngster.

England thought. Another ground out result. But..... Maybe that's the way to hustle for way to winning the trophy? #worldcup2026

I'll say it now. Chelsea should have burst the bank to get Declan Rice. Absolutely the best midfielder in the world right now. Better than Caicedo? Yes. #cfc

Happy Canada Dayβ€οΈπŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ Today we celebrate the beauty of our country & the communities that make it home. May we continue to stand together, support one another & take pride in all that makes Canada strong! Wishing you a day filled with joy, laughter, and lasting memories. ❀️🍁 #SheShed #HappyCanadaDay

You know how #cfc always have issues with low blocks. Or defensive teams as we used to call it. Ditto England. Oh for a Hazard, a Zola or a powerhouse like Drogba.

So....Norway...here we come. Get those fjords spruced up. Starting today at Southampton Cruise Terminal.......our first cruise with no flying!

#cfc observations: It's over. Go away fellow suffering supporters , spend time with loved ones. Turn off the stress. Relax. Soak up some rays. Ignore #Chelsea ITKN crap. Remember the silly season starts now. Erase this arse gravy omnishambolic season from memory......

.....enjoy the World Cup... Or don't . Life remains the same collage of utterly fucked up bollocks whatever happens. Like a Jackson Pollock painting of logic! See you all soon for the Alonso reign. Another Conte season 1? We can but hope! #ktbffh

Came out dressed like an english tourist because of some cloud forgetting Mediterranean sun arrives when lt wants. Beer then and try to look Brit cool a la Bowie πŸ˜‚

Sitting here in Vias village square having eaten my Sea Bass Sunday lunch with champ, a bottle of local rose wine and now a limoncello aperitif. I feel like Hemingway might have felt in Paris

#cfc observation 1: Dismal. Disgraceful. Pathetic. Gutless. Incompetent. Lazy. Clueless. Rudderless. Omnishambles. Stupid. Embarrassing. There's my generic player, staff and hierarchy ratings for today. #cfc

Off to Stamford Bridge for pretty much dead rubber game for us but huge for Forest. Our home form is dismal, the fans are bored and detached, players thinking about the world Cup. I'd rather be pretty much doing anything else #cfc

KIMMEL: β€œYou know how sometimes you wake up and the First Lady demands you be fired? We’ve all been there, right? β€” I agree hateful, violent rhetoric is something we should reject… a great place to start to dial that back would be to talk to your husband.”

There is no special relationship. There hasn't been one for a very long time, if ever. Instead, there's a parasocial relationship, in which the UK government imagines it's involved in ways the other partner doesn't recognise. States have interests, not preferences. They don't love. They calculate.
