Man on the till at the supermarket said he was impressed with my packing. Iโm absolutely fucking buzzing. You just donโt get recognition like that every day. I feel like I could run through a brick wall
Culturally telling that Americans leave out milk and cookies for Santa whereas British people are like โquick shot of brandy before you drive home you big red cunt? Xxxโ
Just to provide a counter balance, as a Joey Barton who also had family members killed in WWI, I think itโs probably okay for women to be allowed to talk about sport ๐๐
I have a great grandfather who was gassed at Ypres in 1915. He received a Military Medal for bravery later in that war. Patrick Stanton is his name. Look up his citation if you choose.
I have a duty to him. And the hundreds of thousands of men like him. Those who gave their
Was thinking bout a meeting I had in LA where an exec spent 30 minutes talking about how uptight & easily offended Brits are & I joked that it's weird how we're fine with the word 'cunt' tho and they went really quiet and said they don't like that word and then the meeting ended.
Imagine having to watch your mum slowly succumb to poison as she takes part in a highly camp gothic death march hosted by national treasure Claudia Winkleman ๐
My cat started breathing really weird yesterday so we took him to the vet and ยฃ700 later the diagnosis is... maybe heโs just a weird cat? Nothing wrong with him. Back home now. Iโm going to kill him.
Goodnight sweet prince. When you were on the pitch you gave everything. Sometimes you would leave the pitch, to take a shit, or fight someone. But you always came back. You are fully COYS and we love you
Football coverage will apologise if you hear a swear word or cut away from a pitch invader but a man getting CPR while his crying wife watches on the sidelines theyโre suddenly getting out the zoom lenses.
When the Roald Dahl estate approached me to edit his work for a modern audience I was initially sceptical. But then they looked me in the eye and said 'Joe this is about one thing and one thing only: Oompa Loompas. Sucking. And. Fucking.' And I said ok you mad bastards I'll do it
Harry Kane says he is enjoying the pressure of having to win every Bundesliga match convincingly, compared to how two Spurs games without winning โwasnโt a disasterโ. [

In the timeline of Die Hard we're in the post-credit sequence. The morning after. Bruce Willis watching his children open their presents. Numb, the adrenaline worn off. He excuses himself and goes to the spare bedroom. He cannot stop crying. So many men. He killed so many men.
I pitched on True Detective S4. Would have loved to do it but at least I was saved from having to deal with the dipshit original creator. Issa Lรณpez is a class act, looking forward to seeing her go from strength to strength
Played a perfect game of Hungry Hungry Hippos today. 100% of the balls. My kids were in tears. Couldnโt believe it. For a professional Hippos player these are days we dream of. Why we push ourselves. Why we never stop believing we can be better. Faster. Hungrier.
You know I donโt like talking about my work or indulging in self promotion of any kind, but I DID write the screenplay to a horror movie once which I mention PURELY because it is Halloween today and I care about your spookiness.
When the faithfuls saw Harry being sea sick thatโs the moment they should have known he was a traitor. The briny deep offers no quarter to the deceitful.
Tottenham social media team keep putting out videos from the training ground with captions like โBack to it! ๐ช ๐โ and itโs just Ben Davies walking past the camera looking like someone just ran over his dog
Lucas, youโre so afraid of getting your heart broken youโre shutting yourself off from the possibility of ever finding true love again. Erik, you use humour as a defence mechanism. Gareth, you...

Got Jackie Weaver doing sea shanties in the recording studio. Honestly sweating over here lads think I might have misjudged the longevity of the fads. Canโt get the deposit back.
Sadly, yes, Netflix have cancelled this. Very proud of it and really liked the people I got to make it with. Sorry not to be able to finish the story...
Half Bad is a show we are incredibly proud of, which gained stellar reviews, along with a fiercely loyal global fanbase. While we are disappointed not to continue the story, we have loved working with such a talented cast and crew on bringing our beloved show to life.
Love Happy Valley but the props department have dropped a bollock here with a clearly fake pint of Guinness. How difficult is it to get this stuff right?

Itโs the classic โignore the show, cancel it, wait for one of the actors to be in a more successful production and THEN start the marketingโ tactic
Eldest son and his friends are filming a little movie in our house today. Asked me to write a script for it ๐ฅฐ
Refused cos A) Iโm not a scab and B) they couldnโt fucking afford me
My parents have formed a childcare bubble with my sister and her kids so canโt help out with mine. And actually thatโs okay because instead of complaining Iโm just going to push this down and let it fester inside me until I die!
Tragically allowing my mood to be affected by whether or not Tottenham Hotspur Football Club buy players whose existence I had not previously been aware of 48 hours ago
I was 10 minutes late for a haircut appointment and a guy with dyed blonde tips told me I was a 'little late there buddy ๐คจ' and that he was charging me but couldn't cut my hair anymore. I think I will occasionally think of him and get annoyed probably until I die?
Last night I dreamt someone sent me their screenplay but instead of paper they'd written each page in marker pen on the window of a kebab shop and then taken a photo of it so I had 90 photos of this kebab shop window and I was like oh boy I gotta tell 'em this isn't how it's done
When you go to the chippy and they offer you salt and vinegar imho it would be more fun if they said 'salt and malt'? It's better, no? Americans would have been doing this years ago but they fucked up the definition of chips so they're out of the game but it's not too late for us
EXCLUSIVE: Prime Video is developing an action drama series from film and TV writer Joe Barton and director-producer Michael Bay. The project hails from A+E Studios, in association with Range Studios, and Amazon Studios
โWhat is worth more, art or life? โฆ are you more concerned about the protection of a painting or the protection of our planet and people?โ

Sorry to be the voice of opposition against all you cynics but I have never, and will never, stand against love. I hope they felt like shooting stars, like the rest of the universe didnโt exist and it was only them. I hope they fucked like greased hogs all night.
This is the face of someone who has had to get out of bed to drive to their old house to pick up their cat who has someone found his way back there during the night and is trying to fight everyone who now lives there.
I remember talking to an actor whoโd just joined a big superhero show, and them speaking at length about how intensely miserable the diet was making them. I really donโt know why we make actors suffer just so we can continue to aid the spread of toxic body issues to everyone else
Argh! In the treatment for series 2 there was this new character we all loved and the description was literally just โdo you reckon we could get Kathy Burke for this?โ
Very late to the party but finished Giri/Haji last night. Donโt usually like gangsters and guns stuff but was completely captivated. Beautifully made, very funny and at times really surprising. Gutted thereโs no second series. Criminal.
My 7 yr old had a panic about us dying so I had a difficult but healthy and most importantly HONEST chat with him about death (promised him we would cure it in our lifetime, assured him both heaven and/or reincarnation are real anyway so like donโt even worry about it mate)
When my partner asks me to put the kids coats on sheโs started immediately following it up with โI know they wonโt fit youโ, ruining my little joke and souring my morning.
No comment on the play, which I haven't seen, but there's a whole stable of establishment writers who've been able to get any old shit commissioned for years and it's nice if that is no longer the case.
I turn 37 today. Trying to light the candles on my cake in the storm. The kids crying and begging me to come inside. Me refusing. I like my cake outside. Always have. Wonโt change that now. Too old.
I cannot stop watching this. Itโs one of the most peculiar things Iโve ever seen, which given the venue, is really saying something. Get to the end (if you can).
As a defender how do you stop Haaland? Traditional football methods wont work. No. You have 90 minutes to make him fall in love with you. Become his moon and stars. His reason to be. Make it so scoring against you would betray something unspoken inside him. Something real. Primal
Guess if you post your wins you should also post your losses. Sadly adding this to the โones that got awayโ column. It really would have been something special. Hope Matt gets to make it one day.
Bad news: the Gotham PD HBO Max show is on hold. Worse news: it sounded pretty awesome. Listen to Matt Reeves describe his Sidney Lumet inspired year one story and lament what might have been.
