Big fan of Peaky Blinders, but The Immortal Man was toss. Is that Barry Keoghan good in anything? Fuckin stealing a living.

Great game at Anfield tonight, marred by people actually standing up and applauding a lad going off on a stretcher with a broken finger. Game's gone.

@peter_bolster They've got us soon. I'm sure they'll pick that exact day to turn the corner.

@Carl_M79 @shornKOOMINS I may be wrong, but I understand a reckoning to be punitive. The only people who have had to deal with the consequences of Savile's actions are his victims, unfortunately. It didn't affect my enjoyment (maybe the wrong word) of the series, though.

@shornKOOMINS @jcleighton Surely that's the whole point though? It is not about 'justice'. It's about a 'reckoning' for the establishment, the institutions that enabled him, and the audience itself.

Don't think this was very well received, probably because people were just fuming that any 'drama' had even been made about Savile, particularly by the BBC. Objectively I think it's actually pretty good. And brave of Coogan to tackle this IMO.

@shornKOOMINS @Carl_M79 The only legitimate criticism I've seen of it was that it was called The Reckoning. There was no reckoning for Savile. Other than that I thought it was really good, if very grim.

@Carl_M79 I thought it was grim as fuck and disturbing but brilliant, and Coogan outstanding. Some hated it for the reason you say, and also cos for those whose whole personalities are about being performatively vocal about nonces, and Savile, hate Coogan for being a "champagne socialist".

@FreddysNewN2_ Was it about '98/99 time? I remember that. A big shipment got busted in Liverpool and there was a weed famine as a result. Some of my mates went to Manchester to score too. Came back with some green. Great dedication.

Great performance and result from the Reds tonight. Had to fight it out in the pissing rain, away from home, against a tough Sunderland side. Proper footy. Proud of them. Fully deserved.

@OldGilles @lovelystuff1878 Ah well, you see, I've only lived there since 2010. Plenty's changed in that time, mind. I remember when they were building Chapelford and saying that one day they'd build all the way up to Burtonwood, and now they pretty much have.

@RichRk1999 @OldGilles Yes, but there's a gap between the bays that people sometimes park in, not realising or not caring that it's a give way line and not a parking bay. Very annoying to a pedant like me. Can usually park at Great Sankey Hub quite easily too.

@OldGilles @jcleighton Ample parking on the new Lidl, although sometimes you have to mow down a few teenagers.

@lovelystuff1878 @OldGilles Pub, post office, police station and parish church. My Mrs still calls it The Four Ps. Not sure if that's a local thing or a her thing.
