My Roman Empire:

Sheffield United fans said Jayden Bogle wasn't good enough for them in the Championship, yet Leeds are in the Premier League and he's *too good* for US!

It’s the reading equivalent of taking a quiet stroll through the park and then suddenly, some old pervert leaps from behind a bush and flashes their knob.
I’m not saying they will and I’m not saying I expect it, but if Harrison and Aaronson have literally anything about them then there’s no reason why they can’t both step up to the plate this weekend. It’s only (respectfully) Burnley.
Can’t even read an article about something that happened in the Dubai second division in peace #LUFC

I’m going to set off early for work and see what I can catch and battle on the walk in. Should get me through some balls and potions.

Work will think I’ve shit the bed if I roll in before 9:15.
Did you get a free Max call with Lily today? I went off topic, told her I wanted wine and she kinda read me down. This AI stuff is creepy.
OMG they’ve upgraded my Pokemon storage. Whatever negative comment I just made, no I didn’t.
I just levelled up on #PokemonGo (I was about 200k from doing so earlier today?) and got an absolute shit ton of rewards, most of which I’m going to have to dump in order to spin a stop tomorrow.

What a silly update?!
Pokémon Go storage is rammo jammo after suddenly levelling up and being given - amongst other things - 157 max potions?
Oh, that Palace one is annoying.
Sorry for your loss, Sammi. 100 years - the things he had seen, what a story!
Ideally we need 4 points from the next 2 games. Have a feeling that West Ham will beat us next week, however.
It’s must-win. To say it isn’t (which some are) is to say there are no must-wins.

Obviously, the season doesn’t end if we lose or draw, but it certainly gives us a clear indication of how much we should worry, how comfortable the manager is, how twitchy the owners will be feeling.
Found this pic of him (circled in purple) from his academy days in Paris. Was recently described by Arsene Wenger as “world class fox in the box” who apparently has never left France yet because all he eats is this strange, battered-based savoury pudding his mother makes. Weird.
I’m going to pronounce his name “Cal-verr Lu-an”, like he’s French. And I’m not going to stop until he scores another goal. #LUFC
Could never see a frog without shouting “back to the river, back to the forest!”
Simply could never be me.
I’m from Durham. People only say they’re from County Durham if they’re from somewhere really shite like Stanley or Darlo.
Tell Zohran my dad was in desert storm
and has a fuck ton of air miles that he’s stockpiling for an emergency. He ought to be spooked.
Is that our garden? Going to need to remove those flowers, they’ll die on my watch.
*199,700 for the deposit.
I guess the issue is that Letterboxd ratings are arbitrary. Individuals might have their own system (your “enjoyed 80%”, my “a 4 star film is one I’d watch again next week”) but the lack of enforced rules means nothing is universal. Thankfully.
RIP Drew Struzan.

He drew movies not how I saw them with my eyes, but how I saw them in my mind. A house without his iconic Goonies poster will never be my home. #filmsky
Very sad to hear that cinema's greatest and most genius artist, Drew Struzan, is in serious decline with Alzheimer's. He has given so many gifts to the world.

Just checked my banking as wondered how much the train was - €3 each way. Can’t argue with that.
Getafe is super easy to get to from the centre of Madrid - about 25 mins on the train from Sol and then a similar amount of time on foot through the residential area to the Coliseum. I went at the back end of the 23/24 season, had a great time.
A desirable corner lot by the water!! I’ve got about £300 if you can stump up the rest?
It seems odd to me that a “working environment” which requires people to focus on a specific thing for 2 hours is welcoming quite obvious distractions.

Feels more like pandering to demands than creating an environment conducive to given the film your full attention.
