Jisoo in "Boyfriend on demand" isn't as wooden as reports would have it - her role isn't very well written though.

Continuing my Jeremiah reputation, I bought a laptop from Cex across the road just two weeks ago. Add this to the fact that I visited NYC 10 days before 9/11 and was in Louisiana the week before Hurricane Katrina & stayed in a hotel one street away from the 7/7 bus bombings in 2005.

Looked like a clear foul on Lewis Hall before that MCFC goal.

There’ll be scallies selling them on Hamil Road, I reckon. Avoid…

That Mansfield owner’s face lift is a real botch job.

Half and half scarves? You may as well wear a sign saying β€œglory hunter β€œ.

Seen some positive reviews, but I’ve no idea why. He needs to get Boorer/Whyte back sorting out his music.

Just turned the dishwasher on without getting out of bed. Thank you wifi.

Just had a listen to the new Morrissey album. Not a single memorable tune on it and no spark or energy. Dull as dishwater.

The dog didn't seem to like the jokes, so they left after about 20 minutes....

I’m photographing a charity event at Stoke Rep and a woman has brought her dog in a child’s pushchair….

Brook’s dropped catch in their innings likely cost us.

He’s back at Static Roots, where he’ll get a bigger crowd than the 13 who were present at a gig of his in Hamburg 3 years back (including myself & the bar staff).
