  1. Early on we get a POV from a fox. The way the book evolved in the writing is fascinating in itself.
  2. The interrogation of the man at the helm by Baltimore PD was fraught:
  3. Supporting Liverpool > supporting royalty/Tory-supporting family
  4. My brother put it very well: if he chooses Liverpool, he's Klopp. If he chooses Bayern, he's Guardiola.
  5. I managed to feel a real pang of sorrow when I saw her on the front page of my father-in-law's Express this morning as it brought back memories of another time when she had to put on a show for the cameras when she was in no fit state for it. She gave birth to her first child a few weeks after my wife had our son - both called George, something that pleases my royalist wife no end as she can good-humouredly claim that they were copying us; simple pleasures - and the performance she had to put on for 'her public' was grotesque. She looked like death warmed up, and the thought that anyone might have put my wife through such an ordeal in her condition at the time made my blood boil. But this is the Faustian pact the British monarchy has made with the British press, and I compare the latter to Mephistopheles in the strongest way possible. They, to quote Stanley Baldwin, exercise "power without responsibility - the prerogative of the harlot throughout the ages". It's easy to imagine she and her family agonising over how much to put into the public domain about her condition, agonies that are not going to help her recovery from that condition. Well, I hate to break this to you, Kate, but you were never going to get it right, because they are pure fucking evil.
  6. So close... Now it's Provo perfect.
  7. An evergreen post on the subject of whaling on teams whose resources are a fraction of the resources available to the likes of Liverpool.
  8. When watching things on the telly she will ask me questions that have no answer. Last night we were watching Dune in preperation for seeing the second part in the cinema tonight and she asks me how the spice works. Well, it gets into the blood stream and interacts with the dark matter that connects all the atoms in the universe...I don't know, it's bloody magic! On the other hand, we have watched both seasons so far of The Wheel of Time and she hasn't asked a single question. What would I know about it, I've only read all fourteen fucking books.
  9. I remember scoffing at the carpet slippers and pipe brigade in the Main Stand. Life comes at you fast.
  10. Two of your five great-grandparents were Irish.
  11. From the annals of unbeliveable-but-true: the City Ground has the biggest pitch in the division. I remember that vividly from an article in 90 Minutes from 30 years ago, but I can't remember where I left my phone. I was surprised Dave no-one mentioned Darwin's movement for the goal. Watching it from behind, the way he moves his own width across while everyone else stays static...Neco Williams wasn't so much out-jumped as out-thought. He was marking a man who literally wasn't there. Wonderful.
  12. That first goal was filth. So much so, Dave won't be able to say he hasn't seen Dirty Dannsing any more.
  13. I manage to be a little bit sad to see F365's take on things. They are clearly determined to die on the hill that the team Liverpool finished the game with was as inexperienced as Chelsea's. A little sad, because they always seemed to value joy over misery when it came to football. I'm guessing the latter is where the clicks are these days.
  14. I've generally been fine with FSG. They're not particularly loveable, but I don't need to love the owners and if they had only set the ground up for the next few decades like they have done, it would be a job well done. I'll need some convincing though that Xabi isn't a slam dunk. Perhaps that's unfair, but if these guys are the Masters of the Universe that they fancy themselves to be, there should be no excuses.
  15. I think you are looking for John Brennan who, for reasons too torturous to explain on my phone, better keep away from anything Déise/Déiseach related. Though, if you end up reading this John, I drove past Daisy Terrace twice last week and thought of you each time!
  16. George leaving Conor Bradley's name until last when announcing the substitutions. Class.
  17. Occasionally you encounter one with a sense of humour/perspective. From a non-football Discord server that I frequent (the reply is from a Blue):
  18. The last game I saw Liverpool lose. They were a formidable challenge.
