I'm all for youngsters proving their merit for inclusion in the team but with no disrespect to Dylan Lobban, if the Manager/Board honestly think chucking in young, lightweight loanees is going to save us, then we're in a worse state than I thought.

I'm used to his 'style' of play but what really pissed me off yesterday was him going to the tunnel at half time, looking straight at the young ballboy and saying 'no' when the lad put his hand out for a bump.

Of course it didn't arrive then but it did turn up yesterday. Mrs S decided to work from home yesterday and today on a project as "it'll be much quieter here than at work". So I'm re-reading the album liner notes, staring at the vinyl and willing her to go out as she's still working on her project.

Bubble Tea anxiety levels going through the roof for some, I'd imagine.

The Met Office not quite up to Viz standards but a good attempt. “People cope better with power cuts when they have prepared for them in advance. It’s easy to do; consider gathering torches and batteries, a mobile phone power pack and other essential items. “If you are on the coast, stay safe during stormy weather by being aware of large waves.

Rishi Sunak has been accused of adopting the “toxic” rhetoric of his former home secretary Suella Braverman, after he warned that migration would “overwhelm” European countries without firm action. The slide of the UK continues.

What's Up, Doc? Well, Ryan O'Neal's dead, that's what.

Denny's back wi' Wings.
