@JeffreyPeel @Ryanair VAR would call that for offside by a toenail.

@ACSOMPOD Totally. I would rather have a guy who misses four to score one than a guy who has no chances at all (largely because I am also that guy who effs it up regularly, at my shit level, but somehow still walks away with a couple of goals).

Dane Murray had a shocker for #Celtic today, but he is not (solely) to blame. Fielding a clearly unprepared and terrified player is the result of failures from the board, the manager and the people who develop young players. I feel sorry for him.

I don’t usually give #writing advice, because everyone is at it, but this is a rule that keeps me sane:

Seems a bit unfair to put 11 professional footballers against a boy who lost the use of his legs after being pushed out the window by a sisterfucker, even if he does have the sight. Football’s gone mad!

Sitting on my terrace in Rome. The last four songs blasting out from club in distance: Blue Monday, Just Can’t Get Enough, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun and Tainted Love. Is it 2025 or have I fallen through an 80s time bubble?

Prejudice against gingers gets everywhere: “In 2021 an orange lobster was … in a grocery store tank, where it had languished for weeks after being shunned by shoppers because of its rare hue and was apparently being picked on by the other lobsters.”

The ending of #28yearslater made me piss myself because I did something similar in the #ApocalypseCow books, except with Noel Edmonds. I think I made the more wholesome choice.

I heard about Ozzy while watching another legend, Nick Cave, deliver an astonishing concert on piano in Rome. Enjoy them and go see them live while you can. Nothing beats that collective live music experience.

I am pretty sure the writers of The Inbetweeners did not foresee The Economist one day calling for more briefcase wankers in government. I would love to see Will, Si, Jay and Neil in the cabinet.

[The Economist @TheEconomist]

The phrase lives on in Westminster, which is riddled with millennials who came of age when “The Inbetweeners”, a cult British sitcom, was on TV https://t.co/Ni1lVrkW7N

@theblastedheath @LynPerryWriter Absofuckinglutely. I am from Glasgow, a lot of my characters are from Glasgow. One of my beta readers (from Glasgow of course) told me my characters didn’t swear enough. You have to be true to the story and the people in it.

I am now sure why the big name author who DM’d me about ‘working on a fiction novel’ doesn’t want to discuss my new work.

Mctominay? Mctominaye, more like. Love to see a Scotsman killing it in Serie A.

The best thing about coming to @TheRestHistory late is that I now have hundreds of fascinating and entertaining podcasts waiting to be gobbled up.

@lhallwriter It’s hard to keep count of cups when the coffee is streaming in through an IV drip.
