Ray Harryhausen's stop motion holds up beautifully, would love to see it on a big screen.

Mom, can we meet The Governess? But we have The Governess at home. #TheChase

That’s 100% on Tuchel. The better team until we scored, at which point he directed the team to sit back and not attack, and took off every player who could hit them on the break. We got rid of Southgate because he got too defensive in big games… and replaced him with someone way more defensive!

Typical England, choking at the last. #ENGARG

In Gordon we trust. #ENGARG

Tuesday on Noisebox Radio... 7pm - Hodders’ Schooldays Sam Hodkin joins Noisebox Radio and plays an hour of his favourites from the 1990s and 2000s. www.noiseboxradio.com

36, 39, 3 for today; 36, 36 and 3in10 catching up on yesterday, Question 10 the spoiler in both rounds.. #popmaster

"Verify your age" I didn't have a smartphone until 2012/3..

Much of the coverage of Ann Widdecombe's death is just voyeurism justified by the fact she was a politician and it may therefore be a 'political' story. Think it's just crass rubbernecking featuring frankly excessive detail in many cases.

Anyone saying that Argentina got favoured re the 2nd yellow for Embolo last night, you're a confounded pillock. You don't go for a blatant dive when airway on a yellow, and for all I take against VAR's occasional overuse, it earned its salt last night.

English summer personified. Greetings from Broadbottom.

There'd better be a strongly worded Reg 28 and heads rolling over this one..

Thanks to Spotify algorithms (which can have their plus sides at times), I occasionally go Dutch with listening choices. Solution really should have been bigger across the continent, and *Gad* this catchy! www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aZp...

And yet it stalled at FOURTY BLOODY THREE on the Singles Chart, there's no justice..

Whoever runs against NF needs to hammer home again and again that far from being a patriotic voice, he is a traitor. An absolute quisling and a crook to boot

"waaaaaaaaah, oh wah wah waahhhhhhh" - Nigel Farage, 62

Yours truly is back with another edition of Hodders' Schooldays from 7pm, live and uninhibited on @noiseboxradio.com. The Obligatory Floorfiller is a stone cold banger, the Double Period is some splendid Britpop, and the host isn't bad either!

36, 30, several Mike Oldfield singles. #popmaster

I can't stand the nationalism that accompanies the World Cup, including the left-wing version which involves posting about the worst atrocities the other team's nation has ever committed. And its cuisine. There's no such thing as progressive xenophobia

At the heart of the Reform project are allegations of big money buying influence. They wrap themselves in the flag while selling our future. We can be in no doubt about what they'd do in power. They would rip apart our communities and serve their crypto paymasters.

Work done, and now for a GB v Lithuania watchalong with @catnipfields.bsky.social in the 2027 Basketball World Cup qualifiers - a derby betwixt us 😂

Ever have occasions where you're listening to something primarily instrumental and transpose lyrics in that seem to scan? Example for me: Inserting "ABC, 1-2-3, that's how easy love can be" into one of the main hooks of Birdland by Weather Report 😅

Work Pet Peeves #381: When somebody includes the word 'please' THREE SODDING TIMES in the same sentence or paragraph. It's a request, not an on-the-knees desperate plea, oy..

Mexico will tear them to shreds, quite rightly, Congo deserved to win that. #ENGDRC

Again, where the hell was this in the first half? England potentially scraping through again.. #ENGDRC

No penalty in a month of Sundays, get over it. #ENGDRC

A British-Indian friend told me how Reform activists threatened to take away her family's passports if they get into power. The rising tide of racism should worry us all. And the politicians who are stoking it must be condemned.

Number 10 North actually an unreleased Housemartins album from 1985

39, 30, 30cc+ #popmaster

I'm a sucker for a good diet ballad, this is up there with the gems.

CORNED BEEF KLAXON!

Not to get all ‘oh Jeremy Corbyn’ about things but I have very vivid memories of journalists and other cunts all laughing their heads off at the 2017 manifesto commitment to plant fucking loads of trees to help cities mitigate the impact of excessive heat.

My father always says that old men start wars and young men die in them - true enough with Putin and his senile delusions of empire.

my kind of Jubilee, the Japanese national team vs. 100 kids

Kathi Gebel: Queen (after being repeatedly interrupted by a right wing AfD member, she pointed out “The clitoris has 3,000 nerve endings, and you are still more sensitive”)

30, 39, 3, yesterday to catch up on for stats purposes. #popmaster

So I got Pope Leo XIV, and I'm not completely complaining?..

Not so much a song as the musical equivalent of a spiritual experience. Imagine being in Minneapolis when it was recorded live and heard for the first time, blimey..

2DTV back in the day portrayed Dubya as a bumbling manchild, that was meant to be parody compared to the reality of a confounded twit in the WH now!

Now expecting Alan Freeman on the wireless.
