Final red line.

What a shot.

Think back to your childhood. Do you remember when the anxiety started?

Enjoy this trip Enjoy this trip Enjoy this trip And it is a trip

Like a bit of Annie, mind. Good to see her getting some proper attention on BBC4. We’ve a load of Bryan Ferry after this too. Licence fee at its best on the channel tonight, for me, Clive.

Great record, Janet. Point of order, however. That lad miscued the white ball. Two shots. #TOTP

I know it was stolen, know it was fake, but, my goodness, what a record at the time. The soundtrack to sneaking past the bouncers at Macey’s, Groat Market, Newcastle. What a feeling that was. #TOTP

Some great records, and good people, but my mate Sean still maintains that Deacon Blue stole Prefab Sprout’s money. #TOTP

'Late era' = just 10 months after Theme From S'Express.

Christa

Richard Marks invented the Penny Bazaar alongside his business associate Pearly Spencer. I think. #TOTP

Me, trying to explain to anyone over sixty in my family in 2020 that the virus DIDN’T look this obvious.

Me and my Pet Coronavirus #totp

It’s good, Mark, but it’s no ‘Hey Music Lover’, which was an absolute, late era, S’Express banger. #TOTP

“It’s a ‘lift’ actually” #TOTP

Is it "move to Dubai"?

“If you don’t want to know the selected years on #TOTP tonight, please look away now…. It’s 79 and 89, and then four hours of Bryan Ferry and Roxy Music. Get in.”

Might as well put this up again as Duolingo is in the news.

One of the best. www.theguardian.com/music/2025/s...

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at blinkingguy.com

An outstanding haul from the Jesmond charity shops, I think you’ll agree. Fifteen quid for the lot. Plus, nobody I know got killed in South Central L.A. Today was a good day.

Criticism for Miley? Are these people on drugs? Backs up my theory that most of those who talk about football on socials don’t actually watch football. This lad is a class act, but he’s very young. Another forty to fifty matches and they’ll all be wondering if there’s a better midfielder anywhere.

Me, watching the Ryder Cup.

80. Absolute legend.

50 YEARS AGO TODAY: Kraftwerk make their sole British TV personal appearance on Tomorrow's World. Shame about the musical lapels never happening, unless as we suspect that was Ralf and/or Florian taking the piss.

A moment of high drama in Doctor Who as the Master menaces a cherry bakewell

Just getting ready to pose for my compulsory UK ID photo.

shot, chaser.

Remember, too, that this is a big government IT project, with all that entails, from the delays, cost-overruns, corruption to the inevitability of the work (and the databases) being handed over to private sector companies, in all likelihood US, such as Palantir. Alarm bells… 8/10

As many long sufferers will recall, I frequently bang on about posters from art galleries and exhibitions, here and in Europe. Not only do they look good in a frame, they can often turn out to be an outrageously good investment….. (1/2)

A Tour of the New David Bowie Archive Featuring 90,000 Artifacts from His Life & Career

Ok, how can I put this calmly, and in a non-confrontational manner? Nah, fuck it, I can’t. Fuck off, Labour. Fuck off.

How not to illustrate the similarity of bone structures between humans & horses.

AI Joni Mitchell Blurb does sound like a Nigel Blackwell song title, in fairness

These AI generated emails, and associated AI summaries are off their tits….unless there’s a bootleg copy of something HMHB related I don’t own…

Me, being a sexual matador.

Fantastic saving!

Don’t think an Eider flew over the garden, Merlin. More likely I was responding to something in the style of Kenneth Williams and the microphone picked it up. (one for the Northumbrian nature lads and lasses, there)

Another glorious morning in the North East, very much enjoying this late summer sun. Took Roxy for an early walk, alas no Yellow Browed Warblers. However, have once again left Merlin running in the garden to back me up. Marvellous what’s flying overhead. (I didn’t hear the curlew, mind, will check).

Lovely Jerry from Big Jet TV got to interview the Prime Minister about Gatwick expansion. Fair play to the lad. youtu.be/3HHYzVyNhtM?...

"How many colours would you like?" "Yes"

They’re eating the swans!! 👇🤮🤮🤮

That’s a lovely Port Vale shirt, mind.

Bit of Bruno recognising the class player he can bounce off there. I hope Woltemade turns out to be as exciting as I think he could be. The big centre forward we love but also the ten that other teams seem to have and that we’ve cried out for since…well, probably the 1950s.

Good night for United, all told. Minutes in the players that needed it, and pent up performances due from the two primary wingers, who should have done more. Mind, if Bradford are able to play with that level of intensity all season, they’ll romp home. Look far fitter, leaner and capable than many.

Newcastle’s wingers need to work on their finishing 24/7 now. Woltemade is going to tee them up so often. Lovely player.

Exactly why he needs games. Iron that daftness out.

Great to see him back.
