Had a fry up today. The missus has become obsessed with buying food from gusto, most of which I'm not very fussed on. So on a Sunday (gusto delivery day), I'm increasingly becoming to believe breakfast has to be a meal for the day as I'll probably just push the food round my plate later. I hadn't planned to make a fry up today to be honest, but gusto backed me into a corner. I had some sausages from the butcher, I've nearly always got bacon. By chance I had some lovely blue eggs and I had a few slices of ultser fry in the freezer. I also had some left over home made beans from something I made last night and a pinched a hash brown off my daughter who lives on the fucking things.

If only the Tories would fuck something up. Then there'd be something for him to go at. Something...anything... ...a health minister breaking the law; or Home Sec bullying and breaking ministerial code; or someone giving their mistress 125K of public money; or negligence in care homes causing thousands to die; or the chief advisor getting caught breaking his own rules; or the PM telling everyone to protect the NHS from a virus and then catching it himself; or fucking up A-Level students; or forsaking impoverished children; or shafting University education; or giving billions of quid to their buddies' failed enterprises; or spending 75K on eyebrow shaping... ...something...anything.

Is this you, lad? As has been pointed out, we’ve all been aware of it for years. You keep banging the Tory drum for some reason though. Again, no councillors since 1994 in the city. No campaigning to change “hearts and minds”. The man who delivered the statement on Wednesday defrauded a Labour council by £45 million quid so “the Marxists couldn’t get their hands on it”. The only thing Tory economic policy has increased on Merseyside is food bank use and poverty wages. I know what you’re saying is right. They’re a pitiful gang of crooks that have sullied the name of the city. People do speak out about it, there is local non partisan opposition, but it costs time and money to achieve anything. Must seem a lot easier to achieve change where high streets have got more than fast food outlets, betting shops, converted pubs and 7:11s on them.

Everyone in Liverpool should fucking despise Joe Anderson. Whether he goes to prison or not he's done virtually nothing to build on the 2008 Capital of Culture award and just overseen years of stagnation. He still hasn't paid back the 89 grand he used in legal fees a few years ago. He gives no impression that he's a remotely serious politician or can talk to business leaders to attract proper jobs to the city. Instead of trying to get Liverpool to rival Manchester in terms of office space and transport infrastructure he's just been happy for Liverpool to be another Blackpool for stag and hen parties. We also have local councillors who actively oppose outside investment and do everything they can to stifle progress. The Bixteth gardens fiasco stopping a £200m investment in grade A office space where a certain councillor likened a smackheads evening hangout to the hanging gardens of Babylon. He basically opposes anything that potentially gets built because someone might make money from it. When Liverpool One was built, Cesar Pelli designed the Chavasse Park building. But the tinpot planning department decided to tell the fella who designed the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur that his design was shit and made him cut it down to a stumpy business park design. The city of Liverpool has a lot of potential but it's been held back by people who only give a shit about themselves while telling its inhabitants that everyone is constantly against us.

The kids got me the Lego Apollo Saturn V rocket as part of my birthday present, it's something I've always wanted to build since I first saw it. So the last few days I've been giving it an hour or so and it's a shit of a build. Parts are so difficult to piece together and if you try even the slightest bit of pressure in the wrong place it breaks. Anyway after 20 minutes of trying to get this bastard thing to click together several parts broke off and threw themselves under furniture. I stared at the lower section of the rocket sitting there in my hands and I really wanted to throw the bastard at the wall and see it smash into pieces. My minor achievement was that I was able to resist that temptation and go back to it later. Small steps and all that.

Nowhere near as salubrious as Yorkshirereds, but here's my toil below. Not into the flower side of gardening as much, so I grow Veg, have been for a few years, but this year I'm ramping it up and trying to become at least semi-self sustaining. In the photies, the Garlic is starting to come through the weed matting and the other half of the opposite raised bed is getting prepared for seeding in the coming weeks. To ramp things up I've set up 4 more raised beds and manured them. 6 tonne of top soil to go on top of that in the coming weeks and then put the sides on.

Just made this, it’s alright actually

Stonewall penalty on Kuyt 4 minutes in. The refs looking straight at it, the cunt.

This is who we’re dealing with... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Britannia_Unchained These cunts calling ‘us’ scum, beggars belief.

And so it starts. Our bloody infallible prime minister "The general view is people have had quite a few days off, and it wouldn’t be a bad thing for people to see their way round to making a passing stab at getting back into the office,” My blood is literally boiling. In governments opinion, and therefore the new media rhetoric in waiting, us feckless plebs who have worked from home as mandated are workshy and most likely taking the piss. Personally speaking I have never worked more hours, been more stressed or been less capable of switching off than when working from home. Boris Johnson you are a despicable stain on humanity and perpetual misery would be too good for you.

Liverpool city council every time there's a new block of student flats that need planning permission.

We bought a chest freezer but didn't have much space in the utility room, my missus suggested that and the dryer could go on top of one another. I said "how the fuck would you open the freezer" she said "well obviously I wouldn't put the dryer on top of the freezer" I said "think about it, unless youre getting a fucking ladder everytime you want to get something out of the freezer and squeezing it between the gap left between the lid and the ceiling how the fuck is that workable".... "oh yeah".

Liverpool just has a load of Cox and Evans councillors.

Every time I drive past this student block in Islington it always reminds me of the Jawas vehicle. I keep waiting for a droid sale outside but it hasn't happened yet.

I'm gonna vote for Yip, I'd already decided, partly because my local councillor keeps ringing me about her preferred candidate, seemingly unaware that she had the exact same conversation with me the day before.

@Evelyn Tentions, I'm a massive proponent of your philosophy, so it pains me to say that I think you erred. Stig explicitly mentioned Anna Woolhouse, but did so without pictures, which I appropriately furnished. Given the photos came in reply to an overtly written name, it was entirely correct for me to post without mentioning a name.

This cracker was on twatter: I’ll believe Bramley Moore is real when I’m walking out of it shaking my head, with 20 minutes to go.

Fucking hell I forgot about loads of these. Might bring them up tonight so she gets a cob on and leaves me alone for the match.

You ask anybody in the five burrows about Bruce from Mulberry Street, he's known.

Voting Tory is a disgusting proposition but voting Labour in this city after this? Fuck that. I've posted elsewhere that voting in a Tory council might shake things up a bit at least but the actual idea sickens me. At least as voters we should be more thoughtful and pragmatic when it comes to local or national elections and not be so tribal. Political parties aren't football clubs and you CAN fuck them off when they go to shit.

I was in the Anfield Road end, had a great view of that Hyypia header. In total agony with toothache all night because I had an old filling which had broken down, and was swilling it with water every few minutes. Football isn't football without the crowd.

My god I miss a rocking Anfield.

Doesn’t matter how much they care, they’ll not pass up an opportunity for a false equivalence arguments to distract, it’s part of what makes them successful, tae ability to manage moral outrage in their favour whilst being the worst culprits. ’Oh, billions spent on PPE? We did what needed to be done in a national emergency. Labour on the other hand did you hear about the corruption their councils were up to, let me tell you scandal. You can’t trust the commies’ Doesn’t matter about the majority they’ll use it when ever they need to deflect away from their own, and worse, corruption. Altogether predictable and people will lap it up. Agree with your wider point about representation, but you find the congregation are pretty tuned in and can see through the faux moral equivalence. This requires a full investigation, rethink and accountability through independent bodies and those finding and safeguards should be implemented. The same with any other number of scandals bubbling under. Anyone, no matter what their political allegiance, should be brought to justice fully. Labour need to wash their hands of these people, apologise fully and work on restoring it’s reputation after individuals used the power that being a local Labour leader allowed them to enrich themselves and, I agree, that starts with having good, local people represent them and their interests. You seem to be advocating a position which would allow others to benefit, seems, how you say, suspicious given your associations. Know your audience.

Thanks Tone, I'll keep you as a fall back option. Stay by the phone.

It's hard to get the ball off him, I know that much.

I'm not a fan of that Terry song. He's a lowlife racist piece of shit, don't get me wrong, but bringing someone's mum into it always felt well beneath us and small time.

You can see the bacon straightening its legs to walk off the plate.

I didn't notice any difference. It's a problem that runs far deeper than which party is in control or a few councillors/officers on the take. It's fear - fear of ceding control, fear of losing power, fear of change, fear of someone else making a profit, fear of making decisions. It's not unique to Liverpool - the Welsh valley councils have suffered the same failings with the same results for decades. Manchester has had the opposite approach ever since the IRA bomb in the 90's. The end result is striking.

Southgate is a cunt.

Top 5 worst home shirts 2021-22 1993-95 1992-93 2010-12 2014-15 1989-91 is fortunate to miss out, but John Barnes somehow made it look respectable, plus the tracksuits were decent.

Do you have pictures of it after it was cooked?

Tried a new place. The Full Monty - £6.95 2 bacon 2 eggs 2 sausage 2 black pudding Beans Tomatoes 2 Hash browns Mushrooms 2 Toast Egg was overdone, bacon was underdone, but overall a thoroughly enjoyable experience. 7/10 Go and fuck yourselves

Alba make shit TVs And no I don't mean Scottish transsexuals are shit before twitter picks up on it and before you know it I'm fired from my job and the Vine show accepts phonecalls from opposing sides of dickheadsville.

Every video on YouTube now starts with adverts. YouTube used to be great but it's fucked now. Wanted to have some background lounge music on and it had 13 advert slots. Cunts.

Who knew so few people outside Scotland would know that Alba is Scotland in Gaelic

I just don't understand Moshiri at all, I mean he's a clever man and a successful investor. But he could have thrown the £500m in for a new stadium the day he arrived and it would be built now. There would be no interest or repayments and he wouldn't be in much of a different situation than is now. Except the club would have been worth at least that and more. Of course he gambled on a free stadium, and has been chasing his losses ever since. He's not going to get that money back any time soon and with the state of the world as it is now and presumably for the next 5 to 10 years, the stadium isn't going to be easy to finance via investment or keep under costs. I can just see investors waiting to throw money at a club that effectively is in negative equity as they owe Moshiri about what he's asking investors to cough up. They may have absolutely no links to the ongoing issues that face the Liverpool council but that shit will splatter everywhere and potentially scare off any investors for now. Then when and if they get it built and are making the payments, where will the player investment cash be coming from? They discovered that for them at least it's the taking part that counts because City will block them from winning almost anything, city and Chelsea have seemingly unlimited funds and some strange ability to not only avoid punishments for cheating, they actually get praised for it. Good luck to them if they get a stadium where they can watch the game, the high ticket prices could see off all but the bitterest of them, then then not winning the premiership in their first season in it will see off the remaining.

I can take no credit for this but here is the product of the wife’s (and the previous owners) hard work.

Absolutely love the man, my favourite player.

Ajax will snap our hands off if we offer them money for a PSV player.

Good old Scotland, home of my ancestors, handing Wales the 6 Nations. We’ve as good as won this Champions League already.

It's time dog Thieves and people who breed the shit out of dogs like theyre disposable cash cows were brutally murdered.

I'd pop a peach into that vag and then straight into my mouth afterwards, whilst fingering her dirty brown shitpipe. In a romantic way. When I'm finished I'd lean in closer to her and hum 10 Nation Army in her ear until I fell asleep.

I love stories of people who have achieved something and the prize twats who have stood in their way come out with utter tripe about testing them Add to that the daft cunts who inconvenience you massively along the way and at the end, you get 'you got there in the end' from them Hanging is too good for them

Bought a new titanium watch and got it resized, lazy cow took two links out of the same side so the clasp was riding up the side and annoying me. I ordered a resizing kit, complete with hammer and various contraptions, pin extractors etc and decided to resize it properly. Upon attempting to do so I discovered it's what's called a 'pin and collar' arrangement, which only Seiko and Citizen do. It makes for a smoother band movement but is considered a fiddly nightmare even by pro jewelers. So I watched a few Youtube videos and a couple of hours later it was one. One reinserted and one removed at the others side. Fits like perfect. The Mrs said she heard lots of hammering, followed by some swearing, eventually followed by 'I win - again!'. Job done.
