@leeperry Well, that’s a shocker.

@leeperry Decent start, though we generally start well.

A typical Burnley game, mistakes costing us and poor finishing. That said a point and penalty at Old Trafford can’t be sniffed at. ⚽️

I think we’re dangerously close to bringing a third dog into our home. I might have to mute the animal rescue pages, I want to adopt all the dogs. 🥺🐕

Again, having to Google how to do something that should be simple on an Apple device (deleting all downloads from Apple Music) shows that it’s an appalling experience trying to navigate the Apple ecosystem at times. 💻

@leeperry It’s hard to pinpoint, I know Muric’s errors cost us but there’s been so many of those moments. Sheff Utd are comfortably the worst team in the Prem, but the manner of our win is pleasing nonetheless. We were so naive, it’s hard to come back from that. You never know!

@maique I have everything there and it just works for me. Gave Scrivever a go and think it’s great, but if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. :-)

@peterw Yeah, I’m buying the omnibus editions. They’re all great, but some are (obviously) better than others.

@mattgemmell I like the look of those. I have a few controllers and a MiniNova, but they get very little use at the moment. My space is awkward.

@chrisd My wife once gave me a bollocking after a delivery guy asked me ‘what do you think about these aliens then?’ and I engaged him in conversation for twenty minutes rather than make my excuses and go into the house.

I’m starting to see the benefits of using Scrivener over Ulysses for my planned novels. Don’t get me wrong I still adore Ulysses, but once the way Scrivener works clicks its potential starts to become clear. 💻

@skoobz I haven’t really properly followed WWE for years, but The Rock’s current persona has me intrigued. He’s gold.

@mattgemmell Absolutely. I’m pretty much tied to Apple but happy enough as things stand, though there’s no perfect solution.
Ben Southwood
@BenSouthwood
@mattgemmell It’s interesting that you’re faltering over your ‘all in with Apple’ approach. I’ve read of your love for the Kindle, but was wondering if you’ve thought ahead if you do persue an Apple free future. Scrivener or something else? I’m seeing a lot of folk down on Apple.
Ben Southwood
@BenSouthwood
@leeperry Yes, Forest just got away with it. I always expected us to get a new goalie but I think we panicked when Verbruggen went to Brighton. I’d be stunned if we kept on buying, not without moving on around 5-10 players at least.
Ben Southwood
@BenSouthwood
@leeperry I think Kompany has made a right pig’s ear of the season. Those who got us up should have kept their places initially, though we now have a £19 million reserve goalie. Too late now, but at least we can finish the season strong hopefully.
Ben Southwood
@BenSouthwood
@leeperry I wonder what finally convinced Vinny to play Muric? While I think the criticism of Trafford was ott, it was clear he was far too young and undeveloped physically. With Cullen making a huge difference, now Muric too, I hope Vinny has learned lessons about trust.

@odd Cheers Odd, glad to see you’ve made steps to improve your health too. :-) Yeah, I’d like to get back running again, ideally, though not sure my lurcher would be keen. Before Shane joined the family, Leela (my terrier) and I would run loads, but he’s a dawdler and sniffer. Diet first, though.
