Almost prophetic, and surprisingly full of future stars. Enjoyed it more 2nd time around a couple of years back. 

I particulary enjoyed Stephan Mangan

Pingu done alright for himself as well

🤣

Nathan wouldn't sell out to Hollywood like Cumberbatch or Wishaw - so he kept it real with a minor role in Benidorm.

Just had a flashback to last night and remembered summat I watched on BBC that had Wim Hof and some celebrities in it.

Five minutes content stretched to an hour, complete shit and something to be avoided completely.

Saw about 2 mins of it, one of the celebrities was Patrice Evra, he jumped in some cowd water. Looked tense before he jumped in, though I had seen that expression on his face before, when he was up against SKD.

Gave up on Succession after it was mildly entertaining but not enough stimulus for the one night of the week I watch telly.

Is it worth going back to? 

Last I saw was the stag do in that big club they copied off Berghain.

Was just thinking of them and the way they treated Beckham after Argentina. 

They tried to persecute and hound him like they did Gazza. Luckily he had the right manager and group of people around him.

Such a shame Gazza didn't.

The sun and mirror should be ashamed of themselves they were a massive contributor to his mental heath problems. 
 

I remember Fergie saying if he managed him he would have helped him. At the time I thought what a shitty hindsight thing to say. The more I think about it he was probably right.

I don't think anyone could've ever tamed Gascoigne.  Fergie would've tried, failed and he'd have been out of the door within 2 years.

I dunno who they thought would be outraged by that ^ me and all my mates in our late teens and early twenties thought it was hilarious, I thought and said "Teddy Sheringham looks like he's E'd up at a happy hardcore event"...

Venables played him (Gazza) some Kenny G sax music to prepare him for the actual tournament. Chilled him out.

The tabloids have always been arseholes....but people clearly love them, look how many editions they still sell each day.

In reality though, I reckon given the way he is, had Twitter been around when Gazza was at his best/worst then he'd be more fucked than he is now, as Twitter is 24 hour relentless, and is far, far worse than any newspaper could ever be. Gazza has clearly always been very close to the edge mentally, I reckon Twitter and Social Media in general, as it is these days, could have tipped him over the edge

I’ve just watched the first 40 minutes of a movie called Dune. Gets loads of 5 star reviews and looks decent.

Well after 40 minutes I can tell you it’s utter shit. I’ve not a clue what’s going on and it feels like I’ve started it halfway through.

What the fuck

Is a sci fi jobby with the guy who plays thanos? (As well as the big bro in the goonies)

A bat shit crazy cleaner dude from a music bar in town was telling me all about it the other morning. All about force fields etc.

He was eating chicken curry at 7am wearing a pair of flip flops and a blazer.
