I really don't care how many footballers have to to die or even if Liverpool win the league, I'm really pleased the football is back. Never go away again.

Boris Johnson supporters now reduced to comparing him to a special needs kid who couldn't make his bike work work without stabilisers. Be kind, snowflakes. 

I don't know if this was ever posted before, but a fun 50 odd minutes of the dumb shit (and barefaced lies) Brendan Schaub says...

Apparently Brendan, Joe Rogan and various other members of that set have tried to get this taken down over the months. Given how often Rogan goes on about one tiny detail in Foxcatcher being wrong (Mark Schultz's only UFC opponent being the wrong ethnicity) he sure gives Brendan's bit on the Travis Browne fight a huge pass when it comes to the finer details. 

During lockdown I've been steadily catching up on some of the telly I've missed over the past few months and years.

I haven't seen Succession discussed here much but it's well worth a look. It was sold to me by a friend as being up there with the Sopranos and while I may not go that far it is really good (I've only done the first series) and feels like it could be the next great HBO series. The main character is I think loosely based on Rupert Murdoch and is played wonderfully by Brian Cox (the actor not the astrophysicist). I see it more as a painful comedy rather than a drama, but it comes highly recommended from me, but be warned that just about every single character in it is completely awful but you at least get to see really bad things happen to them all throughout. 

Caught up with the last series of Inside No. 9 which I know a lot of you hold in very high regard. I've always seen it as good rather than great and I think more often than not it falls into the same trap as Black Mirror in being a little bit predictable in it's style and content. However, I will say that the episode "Love's Great Adventure" was one of the best 30 minutes of TV I've seen in a long time. Wonderfully played and very moving at times. It works much like the Black Mirror episode about those lesbians in that it steers clear of the cliches and tropes the series is renowned for and stands out as a result. The rest was watchable enough though.

The latest series of Curb was great fun. I think it started to go off the boil a bit around the one they did when he moved back to New York and with Ricky Gervais in it a lot. This was much better although sorely missing Marty Funkhouser - Vince Vaughn is a poor substitute for the wonderful Bob Einstein. 

Think I'm going to give This Country a whirl next.

RIP Tony Allen. First Hamilton Bohannon, then John "Stumpy" Pepys and now this. A shit week for drummers.

Hard to argue with his logic here.

The staff at the side make it.  In the words of Dizzee Rascal, bonkers.

I know he's an awful, awful man but his briefings are currently the highlight of my day.

That's shit news Hannibal, sorry for your loss. We came very close to losing our uncle but somehow the old warhorse survived despite being over 80 and in the advanced stages of Parkinson's.

In other news, Trump's press conferences continue to resemble something from the cutting room floor for Brasseye, considered too out there to be used. 

Just discovered Cum Town myself, it's tremendous. This was my gateway into it.

I can't be the only one who wanted to see that old cunt keel over on the 99th lap of his garden can I? Imagine the uproar!

As for Sam Smith, sorry but if you are going to film yourself crying like a pussy on the steps of your mansion and put it out onto social media, you deserve everything coming your way. 

Who is the lady called Spencer fighting (presumably for a title) against Amanda Nunes?

Not a huge fan of the Guardian these days but Marina Hyde usually brings it..

Not all heroes wear capes.

And it's off

Great effort Dana!

Live at Carnegie Hall is up there for best live album. 

I've been learning bass and ruining classic tracks

Seems like a foolish endeavor given the exceptional circumstances. Schools are for the most part effectively closed and statistics show that there is a small bump in things like heart attacks after the clocks go forward.

I would love for you to become the next Bernard Edwards. Learn some Chic tracks- some superb bass riffs there.

Some might say I've transcended that level already.

Sorry to read that news @neil sending my love. 

I've quite enjoyed my first day of isolation so far. I've got a couple of workouts in and I bought myself a bass guitar at the weekend and have taught myself to play Super Freak and Stand By Me (badly). 

Peak Essien was an absolute monster, one the best players I've ever seen for Chelsea.
