If you build it, Barry will come. And so will Roy Keane (not pictured), who was also present to see the NY Mets snatch improbable defeat from the jaws of victory #baseball #superjohnmcginn
After Hours with James Cordon on Fox TV. Featuring a prop pretend pint and top, top banter with Declan Rice.
My new happy place - a pub that shows round-the-clock Law & Order: SVU and the World Cup on adjacent screens.
These Hollywood food delivery trundle-gizmos are exactly the droids I was looking for. They all have names and a Henry Hoover face. You'd put their life expectency in London or Dublin at about three minutes. If that.
Nearly 55 years after Jim Morrison's death, another "Poet, Artist, Legend" (and fellow tedious, self-indulgent bore) takes his rightful place on the great man's barstool 🫡🫡🫡
Barstool in Barney's (not Ronay) for Knicks v Spurs with a queue a mile long down the street full of people *begging* to get in. Not sure what is going on but a lot of excitement and main take-out so far: basketball Spurs much better than football Spurs.
I also have a CD cover of Fuzzy Logic, their debut album, that is signed by all the band and it's cover star the late Howard Marks.
My first ever paid job in journalism was interviewing these Super Furry Animal lads in a Dublin hotel in 1997. I was totally fucking clueless, they humoured me. Walked 150m down the street from my house to watch them tonight and will do the same tomorrow. A stunningly good band. 🥰🥰🥰
My World Cup Wallchart of choice ordered from and efficiently delivered by the great @wsc.co.uk. Getting the World Cup fever ... even if it's a burning hot "get England knocked out as soon as possible so i can relax" on the mercury scale. We go again! 😂
I love this book by John Robins (out today) in spite of the fact he gave up the drink a couple of days after interviewing me for his pub/booze podcast but somehow didn't deem me worthy of a mention as his obvious sobriety muse. 🙄 It is a LOL funny and at times harrowing read
It's that annual first Tuesday of May despondency. The polar opposite of Snooker Loopy. Yes, we have Arsenal v Atletico but I would rather another 100 mins of this ... and we may very well get it!
For sale! Size 11 Asics, one careful owner, circa 220 miles on the clock. £50 ono - medal not included.
Arsenal nine points clear in the title race on Grand National day, is it? What could possibly go wrong? #devonloch
This beggars belief and thanks to every single person who has donated. Original target: £13,100 and i thought that was too ambitious. I get genuinely overwhelmed + tearful looking at the number, mainly because I'm not getting any of the money We go on Sunday. At dawn! Well, 9am. Thanks again 🥹
There are many reasons to ridicule Richard Keys but the infidelity regret and can of John West salmon aside, this is a solo Christmas Day straight out of the top drawer. When life gives you lemons ...
Just watched The Muppet Show 50th anniversary special and loved every second of it. Utterly faultless - kids will love it, a bit of blue for the dads and Sabrina Carpenter leaning right into it. Perfection. 😘
👋👋👋 I remember you. You're six months early and the first ever person to dream up the Talksport/Talkshite gag. Because, you see "shite" rhymes with "sport" and that is why it is hilarious.
Absolutely delighted to be at @jonawils.bsky.social's book launch in Balham, making a long mental note of all his lazy journo bias mates who could not be bothered to turn up on his big night.
