Finally got round to seeing I, Daniel Blake last night. Brutal stuff, wouldn't say it was exactly enjoyable but it was hugely affecting. A full house broke into a round of applause at the end, down here in true blue Dorset it was a bit surprising. The last time I saw a flick where there was clapping (and indeed cheering) at the end was after Flash Gordon at the Roxy in Kelso around 1980

Cripes...rattled there Davo ya flamin galah

No doubt you speak with reeeeeaaaally looooong vooooowels toooooo.....

The EU's placeman makes his first move... https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/nov/24/tony-blair-brexit-could-be-stopped-if-britons-change-their-minds?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

Pornhub is blocked in Thailand, apparently, but so is the The Daily Mail

Whoever is doing the club's PR these days is likely looking at a nice fat bonus this Christmas.

Just been reading that, horrific stuff. Is it particularly shitty to ask how much "Mr Crewe" Dario Gradi may or may have not known? I suppose it depends on who appointed Bennel, whether it was Gradi or the Crewe board.

Allegedly Gayle got his four front teeth to play with in Liverpool last weekend... http://www.hartlepoolmail.co.uk/sport/football/newcastle-united/newcastle-united-striker-dwight-gayle-attacked-during-night-out-in-liverpool-1-8247641 No comment from club after Rafa said nowt yesterday. If it's true I can't see him playing tomorrow...

Gloom is plainly Matt Allright from Watchdog's Albanian mate who was jailed for benefit fraud

Just finished watching this. Strangely, both Robert Del Naja and Massive attack are thanked separately in the credits. Oh, the world is mad as fuck, we're lead by utter cunts and we're all doomed too

Your grandad would've sold your granny for Sunderlands 6 league titles before you'd even won one you stupid bastard. Clough was right about you lot, anything Leeds acheived was partially due to cheating, all down to that fuckin smoggie crook of a manager you had around then. Rugby town anyway. Come back when you need a 50k stadium due to "never winning fuck all"

25 years ago today...no tickets, bunged the mackem on the turnstile a tenner to get in, great day. Lots of youngsters & Liam O to provide the experience and a great goal https://youtu.be/cR3-XNmaPfg

Happy birthday.

Saw these supporting Echo and the Bunnymen last week in Southampton, an unexpectedly brilliant surprise.... https://soundcloud.com/the-probes/autonomy There's live stuff on YouTube too. Basically they're the sort of band Alan McGee would've given a kidney to sign around 89ish.. @@sammynb

If you'd seen the state of the sad sacks on the BBC... Andrew Neil (do him and dear old Arthur Scargill share a barber?..separated at birth?) anchoring with an ashen face, a couple of talking head African American pundits looking glum (Tbf they had just cause for comcern to say the least) but it was the blonde English journo bird who just couldn't believe that Trump had pulled it off, she was fuckin incredulous think she might write for the telegraph or mail? Quite posh, think I've seen her on HIGNFY and question time.

I'd forgotten about that just as I'd forgotten the score... They basically sacked Bournemouth on the last day of that season. I was at the beam back at sjp, we got twatted at boro..4-1?...

Am in attendance on Sunday, Leeds away will always be a big game for me, regardless of their perceived status (on the Internet?! ) Their record from mid 60s to the mid 70s coupled with their fuckin turbo nutter bastard supporters of that era means that they're still remembered with a shudder by lots of supporters and there's still the whiff of sulphur hanging around that club to this day iyam. First time I went was 89 (I think) the team warmed up in front of the traditional home end to show Vinny Jones and his mates that we weren't going to be intimidated by any fucker that day. Think we got a good away point but the less said about the end of that season the better

So the 200 year old gun laws in the US wouldn't stop you from moving your young family there Gloom but a narcissist who lied his tits off to get to be president and is already going back on what he said in his campaign would? That's just bizzare tbh.

5live were saying last night that it comes down to England and Scotland hardly being likely to make a complaint about each other. Serbia and Azerbaijan would be entitled to complain about Wales and Northern Ireland wearing poppies though and that would invoke a likely points deduction by FIFA. Don't know how accurate that is tbh,it would be pretty plain for FIFA to see if rules were being broken themselves.

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed Everybody knows the war is over Everybody knows the good guys lost Everybody knows the fight was fixed The poor stay poor, the rich get rich That's how it goes Everybody knows

Might wake Stevie and the rest of the slumbering Leazes end up if they're in the NE corner. Thing is that section won't hold anywhere near the 2-3k that half of L7 does at the moment. I see trouble for Leazes Enders and possibly even my former comrades in the east stand, flasks and tartan travel rugs to the barricades

To be the new CT?

Just because the world is voting for more of the same it doesn't mean they don't want change
