It's a fear I know I had but I thought I'd come to terms with knowing that's probably never going to happen for me.

I'll never get to experience that.

I thought I was okay but I just literally burst violently into tears after watching a video of a little girl trying Lebanese food with her mum.

She was so excited and enthusiastic about it and I guess all my subconscious came flooding forwards.

Purchased by former Turn-10 boss Alan Hartman in 2017, this Ford GT boasts an incredible 3.5L Twin Turbocharged EcoBoost V6, 647 horsepower and a stunning top speed of 216MPH… and it could be yours!

Image shows a very sleek black car, a 2017 Ford GT, with white decals and the number 2 painted on its side. The car is very shiny against the matt blue background of garage doors and a black road. Text on one of the garage doors says every car has a story.

Ready, set, go! Alan Hartman’s legendary Ford GT is now available to bid on, with proceeds from the sale primarily benefitting SpecialEffect!

We can’t thank Alan, and everyone involved, enough for their support and generosity. #FordGTAuction

That's a lot of money... I wonder how many dudes are gonna ask him to spit water in their face?

I've never heard of Sauron.. I don't know who he iiiiis

He's wearing blue... Elrond is going to fire him.

It's new guitar string day..

Been pretty lacking in looking after the axes recently. Think I'm still rocking the original strings on my acoustic. So it's time for a service and a restring this weekend.

Not used Ernie Ball acoustic strings before so let's give them a go!

Isn't he supposed to have a tight hammy right now?!

Oh I haven't wished happy birthday to those who share my birthday.

So Happy Birthday:

Ric Flair
Sean Astin
George Harrison

Not bad company to share a special day with.

Today is a palindrome date. 25/02/2025...

It's also the day I say goodbye to 37 and fellow to 38. The last year hasn't been the best for me with health issues and not really feeling like I have a place in the world so hopefully 38 I can find something meaningful and move forwards again.

Can't wait to see The Futureheads again this weekend.

It's going to be great!

Just Sausage dog things!

Out of office on.

4 day weekend commencing...

I think my (and many many others) favourite Honky Tonk moment is him coming out at the Rumble and telling Kane to let him sing his song only to be splatted with the guitar... Oh the joy.

Kweh! Don't forget, you could be in with a chance to win this stunning Chocobo Steam Deck from our friends, Square Enix, when you enter our Gleam competition supporting #GameBlast25!

Competition open until 13/02 - gleam.io/TVMsl/specia...

2nd... It's been a long day.

Okay I take back the first part. The picture made it look on the wall in LF.

500 bucks minimum I think. I assume these are taking away bleacher space too?

Don't feel good taking away regular spaces for elite "fans"

For the first time on bluesky:

I'm already having an awful Thursday and there's still over an hour of Wednesday left to go!

As if things hadn't been going my way enough I seem to have gotten bitten, probably by a spider, a number of times on my head/face.

They are really swollen and sore. It's getting quite annoying now. FFS.

The Cub with a guitar hoodie will be mine! I hope the UK store will do this gear.

Shame to see the city connect unis go as they were great but these are really good too.

Apparently it was 8 years ago today a customer got so mad at me they hit me in the head with a wholemeal loaf of bread...

Good times.

I wish my dreams wouldn't do this to me sometimes.

Reminders of good old days, where I had plans for the future with the people I wanted to spend my whole life around.

Just ruins reality for you really.

Just remembered the fortune cookies I was saving for NYE.

"Do not mistake temptation for opportunity" and "The simplest answer is to act".

Fairly contradictory!
