Ending the Citeh run
Think my heart rate has finally slowed after yesterday's manic, frantic footermaball match. I swear watching Liverpool defend will be the death of me one day.
Particularly if we continue to self destruct like we came close to doing in the last few minutes yesterday!
Still, we ended Citeh's unbeaten league run (even if wast by the skin of our collective arse).

Carillion
Carillion has finally collapsed into liquidation (note, not administration) despite ministers such as the piss-poor prat Chris Grayling bunging it contracts regardless of the red flags. Indeed, even as they were issuing profit warnings this useless, oxygen-stealing waste of a wank awarded them a contract for HS2.
Even worse: The chairman of Carillion, Philip Green (not that one), is an adviser to the Prime Minister Theresa May on corporate responsibility. So Maybot's corporate responsibility advisor is running a company that has gone under due to corporate irresponsibility. This excuse for a government just stumbles from one mishap to the next.
One unexplored aspect of the Carillion liquidation is whether/how many small businesses will be out of pocket or will collapse themselves as a result of not being paid. Could lead to a lot more job losses. :¬(

The problem that Brexshits have
I think part of the problem was that they didn't expect to win & so said any old shit that came into their head.
When they did they suddenly realised that their promises were either unrealistic, contradictory, undeliverable, plain stupid or a combination of all 4.
Then they realised that people, who voted 'leave' for a wide range of reasons, expected them to deliver on that reason.
The '£350m' for the NHS being a prime example of this (I know several who voted 'leave' because of this blatant & obvious lie) & some were very unhappy when it was dropped the next morning: eg Stuart at the Mitre who said something along the lines of 'Oh well, at least the NHS will get £350m a week then.' & wasn't happy when I told him that the 'promise' hadn't even lasted to 8am.

Weeping angels Xmas party
The Weeping Angels New Years Eve parties were never less than epic.
The morning after less so.

Coutinho
Coutinho has 4 years left on his contract.
We should tell Barca that we value each year at 45-50 million (sterling NOT euros) & if they want him that's what they'll have to pay to buy him out of it. Then we'll see whether they're actually serous.

Future conversation
“So Dad, how did we end up in a nuclear exchange?”
“Well son, President Trump and the leader of North Korea got into a twitter spat about who had the biggest dick, then he attacked his mate and then it all kicked off. Pass me that fried mutant rat."
