I was sorted by allopurinol but thank fuck I never got it in the knee - sounds awful.

Should have brought Hayden on when they brought the second plank on /hindsight. Missed chances cost lives as usual.

When I saw Kevin Smith live he mentioned that Chase was a complete dick. Funnily enough it was in the context of Jason Lee wanting to be in a Fletch reboot but Harvey Weinstein blocked it as Lee wasn't a big enough star (or maybe his wife wasn't game).

I'm back to almost hoping we go down so 20m "saved" now costs the cunt 200m.

It's poor leadership but at the same time they're completely fucked by the broad dichotomy of Labour voters - working class provincial anti-immigrant leavers versus metropolitan staunch remainers. I know that's sweeping generalisations but it's hard to find a position to keep them all happy.

It's really quite cute that he believes the cunts.

I had a lot of indigestion problems at the start of last year and my gp sent me for an ultrasound and the nurse said she had difficulty finding my left kidney. My GP followed it up and it turns out when I had an ultrasound in Shields in 93 and also in 2014 when I had an mri that they'd established I had what's known as a horseshoe kidney - ie just one but on neither occasion had they bothered to tell me and hadn't added it to main NHS file. My GP reckons they have a policy of not telling you anything they regard as "trivial" Anyway its a 1 in 500 person thing and the one works fine bit if it fails I'm fucked (or need a new one quickly).

Went to see The Fall at Reading once. They were fucking shit - think I lasted 3 songs. RIP

I think to get to a position with no responsibilities like mortgages and the freedom to do reasonably stupid things without worrying would be my aim/limit. I remember when U2 did a bit of a comeback around 2001 they announced a loosener type gig in San Francisco supported by Oasis and I remember thinking I'd love to able to just go without much thought - that's the level of reasonable stupidity I mean.

I've argued that when it comes to footballers wages, it's all about ego rather than economics as beyond a certain level it's just figures. A lad at work's wife is a lawyer who works for a firm which looks after the super rich and she told him about a Russian whose assets were frozen as a result of a court case who argued he needed 80k a month to live on. A lot of that was to pay the wages of the staff of his super yacht which he hardly uses. The only point of it is dick waving to other super rich. I'm sure it's the same for Ashley - it's just about position on the forbes list.

Interesting slant that the price he wants doesn't include the gallowgate land which he's transferred out of the clubs assets so even a small notional profit is underestimated. Also what he's done with this land stops future expansion which is another thing he deserves to die for.

We're you on something else as well Meenz? I remember your fifteen minutes of fame but didn't think it was the Chase. (I think I was going to watch the video link then got distracted)

Some magazine is planning to run a full pre-NDA interview with Stormy Daniels this week. You can see how a lot of his base will admire him but it's almost funny to see how the evangelicals will react.

I don't think anyone comes out of this with any credit. Journalists have reported "facts" which have been bullshit from both sides even before you get to the fat cunt's actions and the now apparent doubts about PCP. Were fucked basically.

Feet can be a bit strange - the last gout attack I had in 2012 lasted six or seven weeks and affected my left big toe. After it finally abated I had a problem with the sole of my right foot akin to flat feet which my doctor thought might have been caused by damage by walking wrongly to compensate for the gout pain. That lasted on and off for about six months. I think small strains and sprains in the feet can build up and cause quite bad pain.

Instep and spread around doesn't sound like gout like - it's usually more obvious joints and very local. Indomethacin is just an NAID so would relieve any kind of pain.

i was there (at Spurs) - it was horrific - and underscored by the same police incompetence/contempt/malice. Clyde Best was the first black footballer I can remember in this country but Regis was the first real star. RIP.

I think he's approached the campaign and presidency in exactly the same way as he approaches his businessrs - lots of iffy deals and back scratching with scant regard for ethics. I think he's genuinely surprised that different standards apply to the office.

That Abramson reckons all they need to do is get Trump under oath and he'll have perjured himself into impeachment within 30 seconds.

Back at work and restarted Mindhunter-good to get back to something dark and thought provoking after a few mental interludes (Preacher, American gods, Legion).

According to Fish's analysis, they have to win 10 out of 20 games to get a total in the region of what meant survival last year. I'm still mildly hopeful because of that.

He's straight from the Ferguson school of Manc bitterness that never, ever gives credit to the opposition.

Watched Guardians of the galaxy 2 the other night - okay but they laid on the family moral far too thick.

Subtle response from Rafa about a managers responsibilities versus a pundit's meaningless opinions.

If that was a red card, that cunt wouldn't have lasted till half time in any game he ever played.
