30 day* movie challenge:
Day. 1: first film you saw at the cinema…
E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial
Think I saw it at a cinema in Swiss Cottage - I was five when it was released.
It’s downhill from here, isn’t it?
*I’ll be amazed if I make it to day seven!

Mo Salah is Liverpool supporters equivalent of Thierry Henry to Gooners, so to see him slowly torch his legacy at that club is fucking delicious.

Someone in a pub just told me this
“…it will win out. Think about it; we’re at war and we lose power - we lose the means to exist on a base level.
Analogue will win out - those with ICE vehicles will rule, with fuel. Fields will be protected, and computers made redundant.
Your mum will still enjoy a cheeky tongue in the wrong’un.

What skill did you master that you will never, ever use again?
When I was a security guard 40+ years ago, a number of posts had manual elevators. I got very good at getting the elevator to line up perfectly with the floor at which I wanted to exist.

I love how Sky Sports commentators, pundits and presenters just can’t bring themselves to ever say that a match is a load of dogshit, when it’s painfully obvious.

The white people I know in London who grew up here have friends neighbours and lovers who are people of colour Ed West who is of course posh doesn’t speak for them
No surprise that Ed West thinks you have to be white for London to be "your city", but still shocking that the *London* Standard prints this stuff.
