Good series, but a huge red flag is literally every single scam is based around #Meta products, #Facebook and #WhatsApp. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand...

It helps to be able to spell the country you say only you are competent enough to run.

Steve #Coogan and his writers bang on the money again, with inappropriate and slightly racist #AlanPartridge having just come back from working in #Riyadh, just as Jack Whitehall, Jimmy Carr and Omid Djalili play the #RiyadhComedyFestival ...

#Hitler and #Stalin also both got nominated for #nobelpeaceprize so absolutely in fitting company... www.britannica.com/list/7-nobel...

I started taking a picture a day when I turned 30 in 2015. 3654 pictures later I loaded them all up and made a time lapse video. Nearly 2 and a half minutes of me getting fat bald and depressed. Never deleted something quicker. What a waste of time and effort.

The story that surprised absolutely nobody. It's not just The Met of course, it's every police force around the country, it's just the BBC (and the government) don't really care about anything outside London. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I find it interesting that there is far less flag shagging going on on motorway bridges that can only be accessed on foot as part of a long walk.

Good article on CNN. Where did it all go wrong? Poor education. Too many Brits are absolute fucking morons that think 14 years of Tory destruction can be turned around in 14 months. A vote for anyone but Labour in the next GE will allow Reform to walk into government share.google/KJcoXl5JdMSq...

An extraordinary Telegraph article from 2014 that reminds us where Nigel Farage stood on Russia's invasion of Ukraine and Mr Putin 16 years ago.

I don’t have much in the way of historical anniversaries for 29 September. I mean, this was 11 years ago today, but... somehow, it seems to have lost some of its entertainment value in the intervening years

No, your kid isn't addicted to their iPad/Xbox/PlayStation. You're a parent and you're fully in control of how long they spend on these devices. It's you who's addicted to how easily it pacifies them.

Next one up on my 1979 list is this beauty. #MusicChallenge #20SongsByYear youtu.be/zM_q3k4TwpM?...

Another #punk offering today by The Slits from my chosen year of #1979 #MusicChallenge #20SongsByYear youtu.be/BG50bmionac?...

I kinda lost count on these, I think about 12 or so.. Here goes, another track from my chosen year of 1979. #MusicChallenge #20SongsByYear www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_sr...

Running a bit behind on this, as we have been away on holiday, so let's try and get back on track. #MusicChallenge #20SongsByYear youtu.be/S0VEFalOnyQ?...

#MusicChallenge #20SongsByYear Weller's songwriting at it's finest #1979 youtu.be/C7kUDkK70qQ?...

That new phone isn't going to make the internet any better. That TV won't make the shows any better. That new guitar won't make you a better player. Stop buying so much stuff.

Isn't this exciting rioting and violence? Haven't people been jailed in the UK for this very recently? Why isn't the UK government issuing an arrest warrant?

If you get your dog's ears cropped, you should be made to have your ears cropped, too.

One of my favourite punk albums. It hasn't dated at all. #MusicChallenge #20SongsByYear. youtu.be/VyLgixqK_1s?...

If God didn't want us to pick our noses, he wouldn't have made our nostrils the perfect size to stick out fingers in, and he wouldn't have made bogies so delicious.

No fucking shit, Sherlock. I predicted this when the disposable vape ban was announced. Whatever government ministers responsible for this money wasting nonsense should be sacked. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Time for #6. A track from one of the greatest albums of all time, released in 1979. #MusicChallenge #20SongsByYear. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQjo...

Yeh, I wouldn't trust #RoyalMail to even tie my shoelaces, let alone anything else...

For #5 I'm going #NWOBHM and #DefLeppard back when they were a metal band, and a very long way away from what most people know them as. Here is their demo EP from 1979. Raw and great. #MusicChallenge #20SongsByYear youtu.be/tI9HBqG11-k?...

Ok, for my 1979 list, #4 my favourite band, #SLF. Whilst the album Nobody's Heroes is 1980, the single predated it, and is 1979. #MusicChallenge #20SongsByYear youtu.be/SG0jZLqiwnA?...

Let's do #3 #MusicChallenge #20SongsByYear Not my usual style of music, but I have always had a soft spot for #Sparks youtu.be/P6I6yr7WDeg?...

Second track(s) for today from 1979. The Specials on Old Grey Whistle Test. Always been a huge fan The #Specials, and everything else #TerryHall touched was amazing. #MusicChallenge #20SongsByYear youtu.be/AHPhVSr5BUA?...

#MusicChallenge #20SongsByYear I'm going to go for 1979, expect a fair amount of Punk, Ska and New Wave, let's make a start. youtu.be/lMXbjhw-nI4?...

Baby dies of parent ignorance. I would prosecute the parents for manslaughter, personally. #vaccination www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Not sure if it's just me that's sick and tired of live bands relying on backing tracks. It stinks of lack of talent, and/or fickle audiences. I could probably count the live bands I have seen the last 4 or so years where it wasn't obvious they were cheating and using backing tracks.

I'm sure a #pharma wouldn't try backstreet drug dealer tactics, get users on the drug and then raise prices... And then I remembered Purdue Pharma and remembered these companies have zero ethics and are in bed with the FDA. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Definitely the parents fault this this kid would prefer to speak to #AI than talk to his parents.. What's wrong the world? Probably the worst blame shifting I have seen. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

#NHSDigital is an absolute disaster, GPs don't talk to hospitals, private hospitals don't talk to either of the other 2, my NHS has been broken for 3 months, with the #NHS blaming the GP and the GP blaming the NHS. How fucking complicated have they made this?

This makes me feel old... I bought my copy from Golden Computer Centre on Hong Kong... www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Someone on Reddit tiled their garage floor in the shape of Miner Willy from Manic Miner/Jet Set Willy. I am now investigating how to make a Hungry Horace kitchen.

#52WeeksOfSound #MusicChallenge Week 33 - 🎉finale furioso🎉 : Your all time favourites 5/5 Air guitar needed on this desert island to keep me busy. #Powerage is undoubtably #AC/DC s best album, and Riff Raff is a timeless classic that I would never get bored of. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErXb...

#52WeeksOfSound #MusicChallenge Week 33 - finale furioso: Your all time favourites Going to try and pick 5 songs I can't live without, quite tough, and I'm not even sure I have a static list of 5, but let's give it a go, in no particular order, choice #1 www.youtube.com/watch?v=12Kb...

Disappointed this wasn't called the rumbrella, which is clearly the most obvious name. They need a new marketing department... amzn.eu/d/grY19RS

#52WeeksOfSound #MusicChallenge Week 32 - Closing tracks. This has to be on my list. Cracking track, killer album. Just so happens we are off to our annual #Levellers festival #beautifuldays next week. The last of the independent festivals not ruined by corporate greed. youtu.be/khMMfOQbAMo?...

#52WeeksOfSound #MusicChallenge #gnr Back when they ruled the world rather than the sorry state they are today... I guess there must be something to said for drugs and booze... Was lucky enough to catch them live a few times from this era. youtu.be/IXbY5RfIn7E?...
