Is it too soon to say that both Wirtz and Isak have been dud signings for Liverpool??

Waiting to get out of the car near the Artisan Tap for the Rob Heron gig, because of the rain. Might manage it by next Thursday.

Just discovered that there’s a second series of “Taxi Driver” on Rakuten Viki (no relation to the De Niro film) - and a third commissioned. Next binge sorted.

He was seriously a mobster in the making. Talking on the phone all the time and about some dodgy stuff that may or may not have been bravado. I got off before I could report him to the train staff.
