The existence of Billy Bragger, along with the existence of Billy Bragg, implies that Billy Braggest is out there somewhere.

As a good test of core strength, find a Rachel Ward and hold this position.

Whenever anyone opines that Electronic Dance Music is a fresher, more contemporary or relevant medium of expression than other forms of pop music, I'll reach for the fact that this track-which sounds as though it could've been made at any time between 1989 and now-is 36 years old. -

A viral dog rescue from 2016 is now immortalized with a statue in Kazakhstan. When a dog fell into the Sayran reservoir, bystanders formed a human chain to pull him to safety. The statue is a reminder of the value of unity, solidarity and collective action. 14/10 for all

Just made a stroganoff and am enjoying 14 minutes of Welcome to the Pleasure Dome.

An excellent point. Tracks that followed each other on NOW or one’s own compilation tapes* *home taping is killing music

Just had pâté of dogs' bollocks on sliced bread sprinkled with deep-fried bees' knees. BEST. MEAL. EVER.

Thats a strange question to ask Godzilla 🤔

This a hell of a read.

There you go @julesgray.bsky.social

Yes all the 1981 New Romantic stuff. But very much also this, Chas and Dave and Spurs winning the FA Cup. Lovely summer.

One a day. Yay Yoko Ono.

I think we should celebrate more people when they're still alive anyway. We should have whole days on here where we just go yay Petula Clark yay Alan Bennett yay Roger McGough and so on

New Radicals ‘You get what you give’ Or Sugar Ray ‘every morning’. Awful awful stuff. IMHO.

Yes, and I think that our main parties are quite happy to leave it like that, - but I don't think it's entirely up to them any longer, and so it could also change very suddenly. If Zack Polanski, for instance, got up one morning

Nope. The Uno.

Track back through the thread. #kent

Just want to say that Roger Scott's son Jamie has an *astonishingly* great tribute website with tons of radio shows that feature his Dad. Full episodes of his Capital shows, including "Brunch", "Cruisin'" and some quite brilliant work with Kenny Everett. Dive in and lose yourself.

This is Goose. He wants to know where you're going. If it's not too late, he'd like to suggest the park. 12/10 (IG: goosethelab_)

Crikey. You know that dream dinner party question? Imagine being this fortunate.

What’s the difference between a tikka masala and a tarka masala? The second one’s otter. #churchill #£5 #otter

Been saying ‘Hold it, sister!’ for 30+ years as a result of this (big screen) version. The screwdriver gag is doubly perfect.

For Be Funny Or Die, I stumbled upon the theory that the difference between drama and comedy might simply be down to the pace of data processing. Watch this ad, with the time clock in the corner, and see how fast your brain parses comic data. Set up, development, pay off, often in under a second.

This very straight news piece buried deep within the FT never uses words like corruption or insider dealing but every detail is quietly devastating. Why is the FT virtually alone in the UK media in covering this important story?

CMAT. Brighton Centre. Yes very much so.

CMAT in Brighton in front of the best Monday crowd ever, Ciara’s words!

Off to Toulouse later in the spring to watch a game. Looking for top tips for pre and post match entertainment and food.

I'm a vicar in a small rural village. I could never say this to my flock because of the outcry, but Reform are blatantly opposed to genuine Christian values and it's clear that anyone considering voting for them has not been listening to a single word I say each week

She’ll never catch on #totp

I might be in a minority, but I hate this, it’s basic shite. The bane of nights out where hen parties might be nearby. #totp

Oh Marcus.

Well played.

Good boys.

Banger.

…and ask @quantick.bsky.social where his pedal car has gone.

I’d argue that James May is an exception to most rules.

Glorious.

Ahem @julesgray.bsky.social
