Forty-five Decembers ago, a man on 72nd Street was on his way home.
John Lennon was shot outside his home, in front of his wife, #OnThisDay in 1980. It’s been 45 years, and for many of us, THIS moment still brings back the raw emotion of when you first heard about the senseless act of violence.

My amazing wife presented me with this brilliant Advent Calendar this morning, ready for tomorrow!
This isn’t the first time that she has done one of these either.
I am indeed a truly lucky and blessed man! ☺️

Last night Ange & I thoroughly enjoyed watching (on BBC iPlayer) the fantastic acting by all cast in the 2020 movie “Nowhere Special”. We especially enjoyed watching James Norton & Daniel Lamont, both just outstanding.
A really heartfelt, thoughtful tale, based on true events.
Highly recommended!

Very upset to hear that Gilson Lavis has passed away!
If I combine the number of times I’ve seen Squeeze and Jools Holland’s Rhythm and Blues Orchestra then Gilson is the drummer I’ve seen perform live most, by far! 🥁
He absolutely nailed every performance too! He will be missed.

I don’t know if it’s just me, but whenever #LFC lose a match I;
Immediately change channel, or turn the TV off (I cannot abide hearing ‘wise after the event’ pundits banging on about it, and criticising the team/players);
Elect not to post about the match at all on social media…

When you take into account technical instrumental prowess, flair, vocal range, production skills, songwriting, dancing, vision, imagination and breadth, I reckon you can make a pretty solid case that Prince is the most musically talented person ever to have existed

It’s official!! My new shirt is *Undefeated!!* Both in Premier League AND Merseyside Derbys!! 🤩😅
The 2nd half was not comfortable to watch, but kudos to the Mighty Reds for digging in and getting another 3 points!! 🔴
I’m old enough to remember when, if #LFC went 2-0 up, their fans could relax!! 😅

While I can but hope that they stick to their word, given how long they took to bring the law into effect, I will believe they will show candour when I see it with my own eyes. #JFT97 ❤️

Hillsborough Law will include duty of candour on public officials
The proposed law would force public bodies to co-operate with investigations into major disasters.

Utd are finished for the foreseeable future. This is a generational, era defining level of failure. That decline is - and I cannot stress this enough - a joy to behold. #ManUtd

Wow, League 2 Grimsby Town had to dig a little deep there to secure their place in Round 3 of the Carabao Cup!!
Good job they were playing against a lower class team (who were lucky to take them to pens!!)! 😎👍
Who was it? Man Ure’Shited!!!

When I look at our fan base, I don't divide them into international Reds and local Reds. I just see Reds. Some of the most passionate fans I've met have come from thousands of miles away. The only difference is some of us were lucky enough to be born closer to the club. #lfc #redsky #ynwa
