Mad that BBC4 is showing the Mercury on such a time delay. Why? How is this going to revive it? I wonder who it could be? Tsk, etc.

Hiya. I've lost a sizeable chunk of work. Commissioning me to write you some words would be very helpful right now - I'll do anything on rock, metal and alternative culture, issues in the world of music, and I write bios too. Find me at emmabwilkes at gmail dot com.

Solbakken was Wolves manager when we beat them in the FA Cup when we were non-league in 2012. Petty sod certainly knows how to bear a grudge.

Minimum wage for a 9-5 full time job (40 hours a week) is, as of today, £25,396 a year for anyone over 21. Which is why it's amazing to see journalism jobs requiring a degree, job experience, and driving licence advertised at a "competitive salary" of £22,380.

I agree with Becky Hill about Jack Whitehallās snobbery here. Having him as Brits host is indicative that the music industry has no real qualms about freezing out working-class talent.

My dad recently found some band tees I left behind when I moved out in 1993. He now does the gardening in a Beastie Boys tee that I suspect is worth ££££, but heās 83 and the image is worth every penny.

If you get the chance, see Frankie Monroe live. I could wang on about performance art, clowning, the death of the working menās club. Really, though, heās silly. And right now, we need silly.

Big love to Only Child on iPlayer by Bryce Hart, starring Gregor Fisher and Greg McHugh, the best āNot as gentle as it seemsā sitcom since Mum. Every line sings, and there are so many supposedly smaller characters with a vivid energy.

Strong recommend for the final of BBC New Comedy Awards. The first comic isnāt for me, but the other five are all great - Iād love to see three of them live. Last yearās winner, Frankie Monroe, is the closest weāve had to Reeves & Mortimer in ages.
