Timms seems to have gained a yard in pace - deeper squad too.
Likewise, was thinking about the derby, but Leith & back on a Sunday is a bit of a hike. Also harder to get the bairns up for it in the winter weather 🥶

Currently enjoying the Hearts Rangers game on Alba - three goals up in the first half and worth every bit of it. Derby in a couple of weeks should be a tasty one.

The parenting gig is truly relentless. Hope everyone's OK.

A (perhaps rare) positive of being middle-aged is going to gigs solo. Sam in his 30s would have been cripplingly self-conscious - Sam in his late 40s does not give a fuck. Paradise Lost in Glasgow tonight. Love it.

Really enjoying the Riyadh Comedy Festival, guys. Don’t know why it’s getting so much bad press. The audiences are loving it. Absolutely laughing their heads on.

Could that have been an earlier or later version of this? Absolutely loved it, and was delighted to find it still in print so my boy could get a copy a few Xmases ago!

There's a pub round the corner from my work called The Waiting Room. Hum 'sitting in the waiting room' to myself every time I pass.

Sam Kemmer @samkemmer.bsky.social · Sep 27

Absolutely. Sitting at the bar with Chapelle trading 'tranny' jokes. 🤮

Almost surprised Gervais & Macintyre didn't join the party tbh. Grim business.

The wee man chose the game against the Hibs community team to open his account for the season. Two goals in five minutes. What a way to spend a Sunday morning 😁

Gobsmacked by that result - but have always wanted to see Stat get a run with the belt. Hope she crushes it #AEWAllout

Sam Kemmer @samkemmer.bsky.social · Sep 20

Hard to conjure up the storyline rage at the end of that coffin match - Pac is a huuuge favourite & it's great to see him back #AEWAllout

Okada/Takeshita/Dorada MOTN so far for me. Dorada shines & Kazu-Take chemistry off the frickin chart #AEWAllout

Their nitro milk stout is genuinely iconic.

Great turnout of nearly 5000 fans at Tynecastle today for the #capitalcup women's derby. Hearts were good for their 2-0 win having won the physical battle and rounding things off with a great strike from Jess Husband. Natural order indeed.

Been re-discovering a lot of Killing Joke stuff recently. Seminal bangers.

Punk Rock History @punkrockhistory.bsky.social · Sep 6

45 years ago
"Requiem" is a song by the English post-punk band Killing Joke, released in September 1980 as the second single from their first studio album Killing Joke and with "Change" as b-side.

Not in the same bracket, for me. Likewise every tory PM I've lived through, I've absolutely despised - the point being these 3 are somehow even worse.

Sam Kemmer @samkemmer.bsky.social · Sep 2

It's pretty much impossible to quantify - but I think I'll respectfully disagree on that.

Sam Kemmer @samkemmer.bsky.social · Sep 2

J's outright criminality puts him comfortably in the 'big 3'. But yeah, he was so mercenary you never really felt he believed in anything - Starmer seems genuinely passionate about his evil.

Sam Kemmer @samkemmer.bsky.social · Sep 2

I think at this point I actually hate Starmer as much as I hated Johnson & Thatcher.

Bored oot ma nut watching top-flight fitba from Scotland & England today. Thankfully I also got to watch North Merchiston 2014s, who covered every blade of astro in getting past Bonyrigg 3-1 this morning. That's the good stuff.
