The atmosphere is absolutely ridiculous. Fucking stuff 'em, Liverpool!

Football, music, memes, video games and occasionally my photography.
I see Russell Martin's "process" is finally coming together. 🤭
No way to watch or listen to today's game (yes, there's the pass on the site but I never got my refund for a game a while back which the audio link didn't open after paying TWICE) so this is annoying! Seems like quite a decent performance today. #Rovers
Prior to making my way to the train station, I opted to have one last pint at a nearby bar. As I finished by drink and prepared to leave, "I Miss You" by Blink 182 came on the bar stereo - a perfect send-off considering my final night was rounded off by singing it on karaoke with another dude. 🥹
Leaving the Airbnb like... Sad to be going home.

I am now in a position where I have done karaoke two nights in a row. My friends are going to be INSUFFERABLE. Karaoke is gonna be life. I have to do it. Fuck.
Walked into The Dubliner and immediately presented with a free Baby Guinness. Is it too late to cancel my flight tomorrow and find a job here? 🥹
Ah, yes. John Barnes, the player who was captured in one of the greatest football photos of all time; back-heeling one of many bananas thrown at him from Everton fans.
Jim Pickard@pickardje.bsky.social · 5d agoKemi Badenoch attacks Reform UK: “I remember back in the day when Ian Wright and John Barnes were playing. Nobody was questioning whether they were English. We certainly didn't have sitting MPs question whether they were English. We must not let these people take us backwards.”
I met the Airbnb host today who informed me that this is Lilitus and he's the actual boss. Clearly!
Brian A. Bradshaw@brianabradshaw.bsky.social · 6d agoThis cat is, apparently, living with me now. It's name is either Lilitus, Luna or Maximus according to the Airbnb's handbook (I think the latter as he seems to be a boy) but he's snuck into my room as I went to the toilet, and stolen the bed.
How I arrived on BlueSky (after also ascending from that hell hole site).

I feel well and truly blessed this birthday. ❤️
Also, barman paid a pint on for me because "It's your birthday at midnight." He remembered when Will got a poor woman to sing happy birthday to himself, his sister and me on Sunday night. 🥹
Brian A. Bradshaw@brianabradshaw.bsky.social · 6d agoTonight's new friend: a man called Robert from Washington D.C. who immediately said, "Don't worry, I don't work for that wanker in the White House." 😂

I have found one of the Airbnb's cats. He's followed me into my room. 😂
When you get friendly with a German and get him a Baby Guinness for his birthday, just as he's ordering a pint of Guinness, and place the Baby Guinness in place of his pint when his back was turned. His face was a fucking picture. Been here and a day and a half, and I am already doing this shit. 😂
My mum is a funny cow 😂 (Referencing the awkwardness I felt ordering that shot when we were here in May.)
Thank goodness for the pharmacy at the end of the street, and the opposing coffee house. I drank way too much last night! Nearly had a fit at the €11.90 price tag for paracetamol though, until I saw the size of the tablets. Very different from the UK.
