Yeah, mum's care home was full of women who'd turned on, tuned in and dropped out in the 60s FFS.

We watched the Cameroon game in a pub in Jesmond. The screen wasn't much bigger than that. The locals still loved Peter Shilton.

Comparing Uruguay in 1950 with England in 1966 - there was no World Cup final in 1950 and Uruguay only played four matches in total. They won two and drew one to finish as champions of a final league of four teams after qualifying by beating Bolivia 8-0.

Rest in peace Ken Bates Who thought it common sense To let fans through his gates Penned in by electric fence

Have seen more My Chemical Romance fans than Nirvana fans this week. Problem is, I can't say I bet you can't name three of their songs as I can't even name one myself.

"Widdecombe's Rest"? Did she even *play* snooker?

Count Binface alone can’t clean up British politics

My favourite poem from this collection is by Anon. Jackson Pollock's A load of old bollocks Splashing all that paint Velázquez he ain't

When someone said she could've been a character in an Agatha Christie whodunnit I assumed they meant as one of the suspects.

Not what you expected when your mate said he'd bring along a couple of Gentle Giant fans for your dog walk in a heatwave.

I was lost...in France...in Louvre.

Every now and then (every Friday) I fall apart (it's Fall Friday).

Boomers - responsible for global warming and the privatisation of the water companies. The water goes off in their area and within minutes they're off to the supermarkets to load up their massive cars with all the water. Then they blame immigration for the water shortages.

Important in this weather to keep all your windows shut, close your curtains and blinds, stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone, prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone, silence the pianos, and with muffled drum bring out the coffin and let the mourners come.

Count Binface ingredients.

Twat Al Murray to step up to the plate in Clacton, too?

OH GOD THAT BINFACE PRICK IS GOING TO BE DOING HIS BORING BIT AGAIN IN CLACTON ISN'T HE

25 year old Anthony Gordon singing Oasis' Wonderwall in 2026 is the equivalent of 25 year old Bobby Moore singing George Formby's Fanlight Fanny (The Frowsey Night Club Queen) in 1966.

My World Cup song, Summer of Soccer. It's the sound of the soccer summer. (AI-assisted voice/visuals)

Magic Carpet Ride (Steppenwolf, 1968)

Paul McCartney sang "Lovely Taylor meter maid" at the Swift wedding.

We used to have Crazy Horse Emlyn Hughes. Now we have Crazy Hoarse Harry Kane.

Never thought I'd be cheering the bastard who put his foot between the ball and the slow-motion kicking foot of David Moyes' Kalvin Phillips to "earn" a penalty. Gordon's got winning free kicks and penalties off to a fine art and I can't help but admire him for that.

"I’ve only been addicted to two things – funk and praise" - Eddie Marsan’s honest playlist.

OK, Starmer's claims about Labour majorities are wrong...but in my lifetime I've only danced in the street with my neighbours three times immediately after the general election exit polls were announced - 2024, 1997 and 1945.

The two ethnic groups.

I've always wondered what these prog rock cruises are like.

Starmer doesn't dream but has a strong mind's eye. Just two of the ways we are the polar opposite of each other.

Big old Cardiff.

"Researchers argue that Hume’s theory and modern imagistic models of cognition have been fundamentally shattered by aphantasia, suggesting that visualisers are able to think like non-visualisers as well as in their own superior way."

Bruce Springsteen wrote the chorus to State Trooper after a backstage encounter with an octogenarian British fan who said he was Springsteen's oldest fan and as a "state pensioner" had the right to speak to The Boss in private.

Ronaldo & Modric "like Bobby Moore & Pele". What a prick.

Having a disco nap at the silent disco.

Happy birthday to social media veteran @bettyutility.bsky.social It's an all-day hydration break!

Forest manager's job more of a poisoned chalice than when Only Fools & Horses did Agatha Christie.

The Canary - owned by that annoying Steve Copple bloke and some dodgy Northern Irish would-be media mogul now. Probably insolvent.

Feels like every week now I should be posting a Geoffrey Palmer in Reggie Perrin gif.

Cherry Red compiling a 70s American Power Pop collection. "We gotta get Rundgren." "We've reached out to his people... They're willing to give us We Gotta Get You a Woman." "I hate that song. And the one thing it isn't is power pop." "It's in, then? Agreed?" "100%."

Irish blood, English heart, Zionist brain.

When you spot a Spurs fan in the North Bank, Highbury.

The thing I remember about The Good Life is dad being very serious about wanting us to be a self-sufficient family, probably the only aspirational dream he ever had about becoming middle class.

She's about to tighten the noose around your balls?

Was the home of Britain's most notorious skinhead.

Andy Burnham at Cambridge.

Still enjoying A Family At War but finding the opening and closing titles Vaughan Williams music creepier and creepier the more I hear it. And I've no idea why.

Dad was never in the house. Mum had Radio 2 on. They had some old 78s, two Beatles 45s with the big holes and no record player.

MANFRED MANN'S EARTH BAN. President of Earth, Donald Trump XV has announced that the song Do Wah Diddy Diddy has been gifted to Mars in return for a "lasting ceasefire". The song will no longer be available for earthlings to stream without access to a premium Martian VPN.

You were 18 when Grange Hill started, Frank lad.

In 1976, Roy Ayers was ubiquitous.

I bet he's walking on air.
