I'm a grumpy arse. I like things correct, to make sense and people not to be bellends. If it dicks me off, it goes on the list!

@uscfan981 Ah the politeness you'd have to give when you're over a mate's house and his mum serves you A.

@TheRochaSays To be fair when I saw "from the producers of Bohemian Rhapsody", I was confident that it would be the same kind of movie. High on style and short on substance. I'm looking forward to finding out.

The new biopic on #MichaelJackson , from director Antoine Fuqua, is only interested in showing us the myth of Michael Jackson and not truly exploring the man behind it. #MichaelMovie serves as a vehicle for Jaafar Jackson to show us how well he can personify Michael (which he is incredible at doing), for Colman Domingo to deliciously chew up the scenery playing MJ’s abusive and villainous father and to remind us thru concert scenes and recordings (which are well done here) of what an iconic performer and artist Jackson was. BUT the film fails at delivering any real depth to Michael. He wasn’t just this victim of child abuse with a high pitched voice trying to heal the world 24/7. He reportedly dated Tatum O’Neal, Brooke Shields and other women during those years that inspired some of his songs, had a deeper voice behind the scenes that he used when he wasn’t trying to play it safe with the white audience, dealt with jealousy from his brothers (especially Jermaine), was exposed to sexual activities after performing in strip clubs at the age of 9, had an interesting relationship with Diana Ross that led to him being cast in The Wiz, had a fierce rivalry with Prince (which only gets a passing reference), had the press and the public mocking his “weird” love of animals, his nose job and the “whitening” of his skin, his maternal relationship with Liz Taylor, the USA for Africa song that he was very instrumental in bringing about and, yes, he started having sleepovers with children during the years that are covered in the movie. NONE of that is explored or discussed or covered with any real depth much to the movie’s detriment. The film, instead, chooses to focus on selective big moments in MJ’s career to build up his legend as he tries to find his voice and stand up to his father. If that’s all you want from it then you’ll like this movie…which will probably make hundreds of millions of dollars. But Michael’s incredible, iconic and complicated legacy cried out for a much better movie profiling his rise to fame, the pitfalls of it, and how he navigated it all to make the iconic music he made. MICHAEL is what you get when family members are allowed to be the EPs of biopics. 2.5/5 stars

@TavernFootball What a game! 89/90 was my first football season of memory. I think the two FA Cup semis and final along with the World Cup was instrumental to me being a football fan. I think the game has lost it's soul. It's sad but I barely care now. But that could be me. 😄

I can barely believe this was 36 years ago. This was where my own love for the game grew instantly as a kid. This to me is football. End to end and plenty of goals. Not a false 9 or XG in sight.

Those on Benefits should never be receiving more than a person receiving the Minimum Wage for working 40 hours a week! Who agrees?

Why Michael Jackson’s dancer stayed on stage even when he failed the world famous lean.. Michael Jackson wasn’t upset with the dancer who had trouble with the legendary anti-gravity lean—his frustration was aimed at the production team. The move relied on each performer’s shoes being securely anchored to the stage, allowing them to tilt forward without losing balance. The dancer’s skill wasn’t the issue; it was the setup. Once the tech crew corrected it, the routine returned to flawless execution.

Residents in this area of Manhattan, New York, are completely shocked to hear an Islamic call to prayer blasting on high-volume speakers as they walk down the street. "I never thought in my life I'd hear this in the middle of New York." Unbelievable.

This past week was the 18th anniversary of my father’s passing. I thought I was fine. And then his favorite song, Louis Armstrong’s “What a Wonderful World”, played on my iphone today while I’m at Costco and I break down crying in the aisle. It never really goes away. Dammit…
