The Night Thread Mk. IX

Definitely. I said to myself when I awoke that I won't drink for the whole month of October, but I'll end up breaking that promise on the 1st, probably.

5th or 6th, I think you'd be able to keep on that promise until weekend....

It's a bit like all those thousands of times I've promised myself to stop over-eating and start working out, all it takes is caving in to the temptation from one single sandwich and I'll be back to stuffing my face full with food again.

I'm sure there will plenty more said by them after this also.

Former Sun editor Kelvin MacKenzie has instructed solicitors to demand an "apology and recompense" from South Yorkshire Police over the newspaper's discredited reporting of the Hillsborough disaster.

Mr MacKenzie, writing in tomorrow's Spectator magazine, said he suffered "personal vilification for decades" as a result of the Sun's famous front-page story which ran four days after the tragedy in April 1989.

The article, headlined "The Truth", included claims that Liverpool fans urinated on police officers resuscitating the dying and stole from the dead.

According to extracts published today on the Spectator's website, Mr MacKenzie writes: "Now I know - you know, we all know - that the fans were right.

"But it took 23 years, two inquiries, one inquest and research into 400,000 documents, many of which were kept secret under the 30-year no-publication rule, to discover there was a vast cover-up by South Yorkshire Police about the disaster.

"Where does that leave me?"

The Sun's report caused widespread revulsion in Liverpool and led to an almost-total boycott of the paper on Merseyside that exists to this day.

The former editor said in the Spectator article that police patrols have been increased around his house and describes "physical danger" he faces in Liverpool.

"But the people who have got away scot-free are South Yorkshire Police," he wrote, adding that he is seeking recompense for "the lies their officers told".

On September 12 a damning report by the Hillsborough Independent Panel said a cover-up took place to shift the blame on to the victims and 41 of the 96 lives lost could have been saved.

The panel found 164 police statements were altered, 116 of them to remove or change "unfavourable" comments about the policing of the match and the unfolding disaster.

The following day both Mr MacKenzie and current Sun editor Dominic Mohan apologised for the newspaper's role.

I'll probably be working so I'll be fine for that weekend, but I'm off on the 13th/14th and on that weekend I should be going a Subcrawl (pub crawl, but getting off at all the stations on the subway) and Partick Thistle are away to Cowdenbeath that weekend, which promises to be messy.

I don't think it's particularly hard to do to stop doing something like over-eating or drinking, just don't do it, but I guess it's about just cutting down gradually instead of straight off. There's no addiction, it's just sort of habitual. Like, if I was going into work or something, I would go to the shop on the way and buy a Toffee Crisp or something, not even if I'm hungry, just, well, because I can I suppose. I don't see how it's hard to not do that. I could stop doing that for three weeks, get one the net day, but it's not really a problem.

Justin Lee Collins is a woman beater and some Hong Kongonese dude is offering me £40 million if I can turn his gay daughter straight. Today has been an odd day.

Someone needs to make a spoof of him called something like BRING BACK 19th CENTURY MARRIAGE or something. Basically him wandering around talking to people like Bobby and Chris Brown about how to manage relationships correctly.
