@Christophski85 He’s actually dead now. Sorry to bring the mood down

@ImGeeze Aw Tsigalko, what a boy!

Work permit issues on champ man 01/02 made playing with English teams highly annoying. Could never get Tsigalko.

I’m sorry but we need a lockdown. We have waited far too long again, it’s like we have learnt nothing and not taken on board the dispositions of the Covid Inquiry. Masking is important but it needs to be part of a broader menu of tools.

@Layo_FH Get a job in Lewisham Paddy Power. I used to manage it, it’s very funny. I’ve been in corporate since and I miss it every day.

My blog on trying to come terms with the fact that no job will ever be able to ‘reasonably adjust’ to accommodate a brain like my mine: open.substack.com/pub/thehottake…

As the ‘performance management’ noose is placed around my deck, I can feel the trap door of a sacking awaiting me. I am reflecting how I let yet another ‘decent’ job, fall between my fingers. Blog in link below.

Whooo remembers

One of the big improvements on X as compared to twitter is getting loads of tweets in foreign languages on your feed that you can translate immediately. Some great content.

Wrestling the only entertainment medium where the most popular performer ever is also the best performer ever.

@JamesGillespieX @tomhfh Britain is uniquely placed to benefit from this because of its intellectual capital. The problem thing is the government has no plan to mitigate the loss of jobs it will create and to benefit from the new jobs it will create. It’s doing nothing.

Literally no one has picked up on this, but perhaps the most important thing that happened today at the Reform press conference was one throwaway remark made by Robert Jenrick. Jenrick was speaking about the proportion of the economy that was in services compared to manufacturing things, compared to goods. He said a fundamental truth that will be a larger and larger part of our political discussion as people wake up to what is actually happening in the world. I am talking, of course, about artificial intelligence. I've written before about how Britain in particular is almost uniquely susceptible to automation. We have more ‘email jobs’ than just about any other major economy. We are at the very frontier of the most automatable and at-risk economies from the rapid advance of large language models and generative AI. Jenrick appeared to suggest one solution is more jobs making physical things. I don’t know if that is the answer, but I do know we should be talking a LOT more about this. It’s kind of insane to me how little we talk about how rapidly our entire economy is going to change. How significantly the world we live in will shift. We need to look beyond our noses.

Balogun d’or

It's a Pep gimmick, trust me. He's dropping points on purpose to come back and win it at the end to aura farm. He is psychologically, mentally, and sexually manipulating Arteta.

Every lunchtime football game at school. Eritage.

@The1885Show Best performance I’ve ever seen down at the den that day. Incredible.

Knew we could count on Merse. One of the only opposition players good enough to get a standing ovation at The Den #Millwall

@Fink_Money @db_fink Thanks for this, Teradyne and Kratos. Good man.

@FPLStark Sun dreamteam is just as bad, if not worse. This weekend 9 points for szoboslai for doing nothing and 10 points for Pedro goal and assist. It used to be much better a few years ago.

Sun Dream Team is miles clear, Defcon is an awful addition to FPL, there’s no balance.

@Babs_SP Coutinho = Dominic Thiem

These 2000s Brazilians restoring the feeling. The 90s kids bar the obvious one were lacklustre

This is like the grand slam tennis finals of the late 2010s

Two bottles of Tyskie with beer labels we printed at home. No one was doing it like this, and no one has since.

This will be going round in 20 years time. The best I’ve ever seen.

@MitchLR We’re toddler dads now mate aka absolutely finished

@ImGeeze Whatever is Sebastian upto these days 😂

Ten years ago today since we made an advert for Stone Cold’s beer, he followed us and then DMd us. Two weeks later I was blackballed from every major promotion in the country.
