Fifty years ago today #cafc www.charltonafc.com/news/50-year...

Any excuse to trot out this brilliant (and 100% real) #totp chart countdown slide from the original run.

I don't tend to write much about music, but I just couldn't resist this one. On a track by dance music pioneer Patrick Cowley, which went unreleased for over four decades. www.dirtyfeed.org/2026/05/a-ch...

How come I’ve never seen the giant Sir Mix A Lot promotional inflatable arse in Falling Down until now? (From the forthcoming Arrow Blu-ray)

Cheers y’all.

See you lot on the bus!!

Looks like it’s time to broadcast this

The weekend.

For 33 years, this is all I can think about when I hear this youtu.be/ozB9fD48pFk?...

Only my lovely (& bonkers) colleague and friend Cheryl could have given me this present: a bottle of 'Prince of Ales' beer brewed to celebrate the marriage of Prince Charles to Diana Spencer on 29 July 1981.

This is a fantastic album. Dreamy, jangly and uplifting. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

That series 2 lineup of 5’s reality tv show The Farm in full

The Meece’s tribute.

To celebrate the news of Paul McCartney's latest album, I give you Sandie Shaw's rather lovely a cappella version of Junk, which ends with the desolate sound of a gurgling sink/flushing toilet. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCuh...

The lead track’s obviously great, but this track (#3 on CD1 and #2 on the 12 inch) is one of my favourite things ever. Never been able to track down who says “Morning Lemon” at the start. youtu.be/_9Z0RE-ZMv0?...

Ah, those two hard to find beers: Guinness and Carlsberg. And reducing costs with only a dozen or so taprooms, how exactly? I’m sure the remaining Brewdog staff are taking lots of reassurance from this interview.

Kenny’s 1983 LP “Half The Day’s Gone And We Haven’t Earn’ed A Penny” has a banger of a title track, plus a few songs written by the guys behind Star Turn On 45 Pints, another, “Average Man”, written by far right supporting former British tennis player Buster Mottram, and an amazing cover photo.

If you look closely at A Bar at the Folies-Bergère by Édouard Manet, the bar did absinthe and bottles of Bass Bitter.

Tonight’s BBC1 line up in 1986. Martin Sheen was in London about to star on stage in the play The Normal Heart by Larry Kramer at the Royal Court. officiallondontheatre.com/news/20-marc...

Started working my way through the copy of The Times 'Beer in Britain's Supplement from April 1958. Here are a few more images, that I've selected, which might be of interest to some. Taxes, barley, hops and the local pub 🙂🍻

What a rancid year this is turning out to be for Scottish breweries.

The Celebrity Cutouts website offers a colossal range of giant face masks. All but a handful of the names and faces are completely unknown to me (and, I suspect you). There are some surprises all the same. www.ebay.co.uk/str/celebrit...

Ooh, Arthur.

Pulp poetry.

Look, all I'm saying is, a day that has you giving in to a sudden urge to hear "Dance With Me" by Reginald Bosanquet in it is a *good* day. Move up, move down, move round, move side. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpwV...

I’ve been walking along the Regents Canal towpath, enjoying the sunshine.

Not sure from whence this originates, but bravo!

My dad's friend was trying to remember the singer from Dire Straits - 'you know, rolls up his sleeves, Bert Nopples', and that has stuck for decades.

The Tip! Maidstone’s finest export. Still going with original members, and playing dates up & down the historic county of Kent, even if their website design hasn’t been updated in 20 years. chicorytip.co.uk/index.html It’ll never not be bizarre seeing their name being advertised outside pubs.

So good. youtu.be/c7vWpc36Les?...

No cheating the last saved picture of a celebrity is your therapist. (Warren would be great tbf. I will not accept Mary Whitehouse as a celebrity of any kind.)

Oh God, the 70s tv personalities are now f-ing around with AI. Jim Davidson is promoting his latest “Adult Panto” by using a stolen AI image created by and based on Man About The House’s Sally Thomsett, based on Catwoman.

When you go to the pictures wanting to see a particularly “arty” film, and yer Nan and Grandad insist on coming with you.

Rev Jesse Jackson playing basketball with Marvin Gaye. (NOT AI!)

Apparently, the UK "went decimal" 55 years ago today. It wouldn't have happened if "Granny" Doris Hare got her own way. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqya... #70s (Thanks to @thebrookso.bsky.social for the heads up)

40 years after the release of seminal Housemartins album London 0 Hull 4, Chelsea exact their revenge.
