Sadly this future started quite a while ago. I miss the days of watching things on set days, then chatting about them at work, and looking forward to 'next week'. What an old man thing to say. For me, Netflix is all about quantity - most of it is shite, some of it is pretty good. Very little of it sticks in your memory for more than about 2 days. It's just finding the right things. But we tend to spend more time looking for stuff to watch, so invariably give up and go back to council telly. We also tend to rotate our subscriptons - Netflix for a few months, Apple for a few. They always throw offers at you to come back, and there is never a long term commitment so you can just cancel whenever. Apple doesn't have masses of stuff, but they seem to have more quality things - at least we have found a lot more there that has some proper substance. We'll often take it when a freebie comes up for a month, keep it for three, blitz a load of stuff, then leave it for a year. I could happily live without the streaming sevices. For the most part, you are better with a book - unless you fall in to the trap my wife fell into of just reading the crap that is churned out by Amazon for your kindle. Mrs Tattie: Oooh, 99p. How bad can it be Me: Very - Like the last 40. Why don't you just buy a real book! That's my issue with modern life (or one of many). We have too much choice, and 99% of it is pish. We are just told we need all these options and believe 'them'. Real music (including heavy metal - but not C&W or freeform jazz), four channels and some good books, thatll do me.

I’ll be there, as a 50th birthday treat. My wife asked if I wanted to go away for it. You could see the disappointment when I replied ‘yes, to Paisley’ It’s not a ground we do well at. I’d take a draw

He's got plenty to pick from.

Poor blokes Dad died just last weekend too. Possibly wanted out. I see lots of parallels with Spurs and us. Well run off the field, but a basket case football wise.

Love him & seen him a few times. I had ‘I wanna be yours’ as a reading at my wedding. The audiobook is the best I’ve ever heard It’s funny because as a general rule, I can’t stand poetry

His desert island discs is a good listen.

The Scotland one looks something the DABs rejected.

Its now or never for him and the whole club. Lets just have a little less conversation out of them all, and a lot more action and results on the park instead…

Falling Down. Michael Douglas's finest hour. Robert Duvall his usual mercurial self and Barbara Hershey absolutely stunning. Top watch.
