Hardly worth them West Ham fans fighting their way back in.

That post of Trump’s today is positively Churchillian (if they’d let Churchill make his speeches when he was pissed instead of getting an actor in).

Swell Maps C21 ♥️

Come on Saints just piss about now for five minutes. The nation is with you.

The latest in a long line of incredible Jim Jones records 🎶

The mother of all cup upsets looks a bit unlikely.

Now I didn’t buy this but I can only assume the family member who did is trying to kill me. I didn’t realise you could buy food with 100%+ of your bad stuff in it. Good job it isn’t a chocolatey time of year or anything.

Fair play to the Wednesday fans you’d think they were going up not down. That one song does start to grate a bit after an hour mind you.

Let’s hear it for this good old good one 🕺

This World Cup ticket pricing is self-selecting really innit? If you’re daft enough to pay it you deserve all you get.

In parts of the UK the forecast is for snow on Easter Sunday which as any fan of The Fall will tell you can only mean one thing: Jesus Christ in reverse.

I’ve been reading that Street-Level Superstar book about Lawrence and really enjoying it. Felt were great - I’ve never warmed to the various Mozart things - but for me these 3 albums represent his lyrical, musical and conceptual peak (to be fair the 3rd one is included mainly for conceptual reasons)

I’d never heard Maggie’s Farm before the Specials did it and when somebody told me Bob Dylan had written it in 1965 I thought he must have been up to some weird time travel shit because, come on, how perfect was it for a Two-Tone band in 1980?

I tend to find myself in Leek every few weeks just because it’s a pleasant place to spend some time. Thanks to some little towrag/evil schemer [delete as applicable] however it’s going to look rather different from now on.

If King Charles would like an excuse for getting out of an awkward visit he can’t be arsed to make I’ve got a book full I can lend him.

What a catalyst Trump turned out to be. Loaded the guns and then ran off home for his tea.

I haven’t read these since 1990/91. Surprised to find them still on the shelves tbh - plenty of much more recent books have gone west in the meantime. Anyway I shall read them again in the light of having seen Fire Walk With Me and The Return. Thanks to @scottmeslow.bsky.social for giving me a nudge

Everyone* loves the Cravats and the Very Things but don’t overlook this 1984 banger from the same bunch of brainiacs.

Just renewed my Stoke City season ticket like some crazy-ass muddafugga with a brain injury.

If you see this, post a concert photo you took.

British Summer Time beginning with loads of rain just as six decades of experience have taught me to expect.

First job for the new DG of the BBC: get Danny Dyer doing The Wheel instead of Michael wotsit. Appointment TV.

Well of course there fucking wasn’t but I don’t suppose this will be splashed all over the front pages tomorrow like the original nonsense was.

Don’t get me wrong I’m worried about the cost of living too but it’s a very 2026 thing to report a war more in terms of what it’s doing to the economy than how many people are getting incinerated every day.

Hooray for libraries 🥳 This week’s visit yields good uns from @scottmeslow.bsky.social and @reversediorama.bsky.social 📚

I don’t know how one goes about doing this but I suppose it helps if you’re Paul McCartney. When I worked in museums it seemed nigh-on impossible to even change your opening hours on Google let alone insert a ghostly image of yourself, as fun as that might have been in a museum 👻

Been a guy round here looking for his cat every day for over a week now. Last seen in the park that backs onto our garden. Maybe he’s read his Murakami and knows this could be the beginning of a fantastic adventure.

Many happy returns Elton 🎂

The Slug & Lettuce

Banging new Afghans single.

Moby’s had a mare here.

Are the London PL clubs having a Shite Goalkeeper mini-league or what?

lolz

Decades too late for me to make use of this but I just realised Lost Cat would make a pretty good name for a band. ‘Lost’ and ‘cat’ are both cool rock n roll words plus you’d get loads of free publicity.

Chelsea are just a posh Spurs crap goalkeepers and all.

I suppose we shouldn’t be that surprised by a US president tweeting that he’s glad somebody’s dead when the other day he turned up to ‘honour’ soldiers killed in service wearing a promotional fucking baseball cap.

Miguel Freckleton just scored for St Mirren. I bet he’s the only Miguel Freckleton in the phone book.

The dust blows forward n the dust blows back… Still as funny and rocking and weird as ever. A trip I never tire of taking.

Pulp have let their hair down on this new track Begging for Change. Suits them.

Transform your dumpy little miniature schnauzer into a prizewinning Italian greyhound by noisily pouring some kibble into his bowl at the other end of the house.

Loving this new HoA album. Fantastic tuneage. Top drawer players of course. What a body of work they’ve put together already! Whole project is a triumph 👍🏼

Use of the word ‘Covid’ like it was a period of time. ‘During Covid’ etc. Hate it.

Show someone who absolutely rocks a hat (that isn’t Indiana Jones).

There are a handful of writers and broadcasters whose work I will seek out whatever it is they’re writing/broadcasting about, such is their expertise, enthusiasm and likeability - @dannykellywords.bsky.social being prominent among them. Get well soon Dan and let’s have you back in the saddle ✊🏽

I have now got Disney+ on my telly so I’m going to watch that Beatles thing you were all banging on about years ago (probably starting on Thursday because another couple of days isn’t going to matter now).

God everything feels better for a bit of decent weather dunnit. Everything about that entire winter was gash and I hated every minute of it.

Love this album. At the same time I find myself wondering whether anyone has ever sung along with the help of this lyric sheet that’s about as user-friendly as the Rosetta Stone.

Just because I’m Irish enough to have claimed citizenship via the grandmother rule…if you can’t celebrate on St Patrick’s Day when can you eh?

Happy muthafuckin birthday to Flavor muthafuckin Flav. A dude who always knows what muthafuckin time it is

Hasn’t taken Billy long to get comfortable with the new settee. It’s a lovely shade of green which I got to enjoy for all of five minutes before the doggy blankets went on.
