Mildly irritating that CONMEBOL weren't forced into grudgingly acknowledging the way the wind was blowing.

Mr. S telling me the Surrealists Society didn't like him bringing up Neruda because they regard him as a Stalinist responsible for the first attempt on the life of Trotsky. That's how they are. They know these things.

@Spudfish83 Back atcha

@samwhyte Still sending a 🫂 anyway x

Being like this.

@Spudfish83 Only messing with this one 😉

Name one person you love whose memory would not be honoured by a high quality sausage roll? You can't.

"Why didn't we have little triangle sandwiches while they were alive?"

It's sad that so often we wait for someone to die before having a good buffet.

An artist on insta has ground up hundreds of diazepam to make yellow paint. If you're mentally ill, this is worse than watch watching the KLF burn a million quid.

What's up CONMEBOL, cat got your tongue?

@MrJonnieB High quality people

@samwhyte Or among my people, to remember how much one enjoys a decent steak pie

@DrAnnieHickox @IamCarrieagain You've got yourself into a great algorithmic corner there. Mine has noticed I unconsciously linger on screen grabs of text based social media so I'm basically closing X and opening a highlights reel.

@IamCarrieagain @samwhyte I guess I’m thinking of Instagram rather than Twitter. I love looking at books and house decor (especially book clutter).

Fallen into doomscrolling today. I find I do that when I'm tired. Need to catch myself at it sooner. Anyway, I'm off to read and hopefully sleep early given I keep waking around 5-5.30am atm. Behave yourselves!

It used to drive me wild seeing that Dimitar Berbatov had, like, 7% body fat and razor sharp abs. Oh, so you're capable of making an excessive effort then, you just choose not to at work?

Nah, no one will ever convince me you need sculpted abs to play football.

@Aitch_GKR Right? A totally normal amount of body fat for an athlete in a game like football. It's not like distance running or cycling.

@samwhyte Hes just not dehydrated like most of them are when they whip their tops off

@IamCarrieagain Exactly!! One of my big things is that if you shop round for the sport and the role within it, you can almost always make any body shape work for you.

@samwhyte Look at Rooney

@DrAnnieHickox @IamCarrieagain Yeah, thumb sucking is a good comparison for me too. And, strangely, the ability to post is that last thing to leave me. Maybe I should give that some thought 😂

@samwhyte @IamCarrieagain It can be oddly soothing if one is anxious. Kind of like an adult form of thumb sucking.

It's not impossible, is it? Especially with number of powerful men he's got crawling up his arsehole.

Knowing what we do about his temperament, there's a non-zero chance Infantino responds with Rebekah Vardy levels of self-defeating petulance, and ends up trying to hold a World Cup without any European nations.

@alelliott88 Arctic Monkeys in general, Pulp's recent one, the third escapes me for the moment, but I know there's at least one more.
