Gus Mears

Wild that the high point for that core is going to end up being getting pumped in the playoffs with 90 year old Tony LaRussa at the helm. At least we'll always have the White Sox Wizard.

At least we got three variations of it!

Current Red Sox situation is spectacularly shit. Our roster was shit to start the year and we've now lost 3/5 of our rotation and all of our infield leading to brand new plateaus of shitnesss. Having to watch people like David Hamilton pretend to play baseball is making me want to cry. Inexplicably have a winning record at the moment but cannot see how that lasts and worst of all Casas is out for most of the season when i was excited to see his progress. All of this pales into comparison with the MLB London Series advert which is played between every inning and features that other bellend who owns Wrexham. Makes me pine for Hall of Fame Connections and Bartolo hitting that home run for the 100th time.

I've long enjoyed the concept of robin's being loved ones. We had a particularly friendly blighter who turned up at the house shortly after my Dad died. Then he flew in through the bedroom window and took a massive shit on the bedspread, doing little to add to the charm and whimsy of the idea.

Melvyn Bragg with a fistful of chicken nuggets at Bracknell Maccy D's. Chose double ketchup as his dip options, the mad twat.

It's Vince, the same man who thought ZZ Top were at the bleeding edge of culture until about 2012. He'd probably end up hosting it all on Bebo.

Always thought All Things Must Pass had one of the greatest discrepancies between album quality and cover quality. It's the best Beatles solo album and we've got George sat with gnomes. Rubbish.

Mrs Mears passed her driving test today. Very proud, especially as she's in her 30's and from foreign lands without roundabouts.

Deadly Derek Underwood has shuffled off his bowling boots at 78. One of England's best ever. He'll be taking ten-for's up on that sticky wicket in the sky.

Maybe this ought to be posted in the dull man thread, but I'm enjoying this very long and very boring series of Farming Simulator videos. Perfect fodder for the last 20 minutes before I go to sleep. The person making them isn't particularly interesting and often doesn't have much to say, so there's nice long pauses while he bales hay and plants fields for me to drift off to. 'Questionable priorities'. Apt.

Continuing the Deathrey trend of vaguely funerial scenes. Banging album. Banging cover.

I'm sad to report that I didn't make it. Was great fun until the parachute didn't open. Thoughts are with my family at this difficult time.

Not planning on using a parachute. Will that impact my odds?

Jumping out of an aeroplane tomorrow. Will cheer me up loads if I don't die.
