Nice to see the BBC have their usual standard of non-accuracy in the news articles intact. If you know, you know. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

If you like good music, and you have not taken up @penfriendrocks.bsky.social on this rather nice offer, then you really should. You will love what you will hear, and hopefully will want to hear more. I wholeheartedly love this album and think you should too.

Erling Haaland doing Erling Haaland things once again. We just need a goal at Anfield later in the season for him to break another record. #ManCity #BREMCI #PremierLeague #TheFootball

Twice in two days. Get in! Yesterday - The Prince Regent, Marylebone High Street Today - The Crown and Anchor, Drummond Street (close to Euston) If you are in London, you know where to go!

Oh my. It is the Domark version of Friday the 13th. Is it all hype and no substance or does the game be a lucky purchase? Only one way to find out as @chinnyvision.bsky.social covers the C64, Spectrum and Amstrad CPC versions.

Side scrolling games on the Mega Drive (or Genesis if in the USA) - and @bloggospow.bsky.social has you covered with four examples here.

Has anyone got any milk? Lovely. Milky milly. (The unreleased remix of The Shamen's Ebeneezer Goode) #totp

Naughty, naughty, very naughty! #totp

Down down, prices are down. They clearly were for the budget for this #totp

Absolute 90s dance choon! #totp

A mobile phone company or two clearly watched this one #totp

Ridicule is nothing to be scared of, neither is being number 1. #totp

Landlord Dark. On cask. Oh yes. Get in.

For those of a #TOTP persuasion, U amd Eden (Channel 57 Freeview) has plenty of episodes back to back. The last UK Eurovision winner on now.

If you're a fan of a certain Codemasters egg character (like @yolkfolk-com.bsky.social) then Witchfinder1976's latest Commodore 64 Compilation Comparison is for you - as it's Dizzy's Excellent Adventures. Was it egg-celent, or did it leave you with egg on your face? www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnJB...

Friday the 13th on 8-bit computers wasn't so hot. But what was it like on the NES years later? @81632bitretro.com talks you through it and so you can find out for yourself.

Saw a bit of Premier League history today as Maxime Estève became only the sixth player to score two own goals in a game, putting him in esteemed company with Jamie Carragher amongst others.

Etihad Stdium concourse playing Bonnie Tyler's It's A Heartache after the early kick off has finished. Genius move.

Saturday morning viewing sorted. There may be a particular obscure arcade machine you will like here.

To beat any record set of late by Erling Haaland takes some doing. Hat tipped to Harry Kane, well played. 100 goals for Bayern Munich in 104 games. (Haaland did 100 in 105 for Man City as did Ronaldo for Real Madrid.)

Well that was absolutely lovely. @penfriendrocks.bsky.social was in excellent form, and the House of Stories album songs sounding brilliant - especially Seasons, which I adore. Oh, and a bit of She Makes War and Obey Robots too. Thank you so much, and for Carol Hodge's accompaniment.

At The Grace in Islington for tonight's @penfriendrocks.bsky.social gig. Carol Hodge was fab and her songs were lovely, and I will need to purchase her music!

36 years ago today I attended by first Manchester derby at Maine Road. And what a game it turned out to be. Manchester City fans still talk about this one as "THE 5-1" and so it remains, to this day. Stunning fifth goal from Andy Hinchcliffe. Video via mcfcvideos2: www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3So...

Professional performance from Man City tonight. Did what they had to do to beat 10 men - with Jeremy Doku griddy special and Erling Haaland's 50th Champions League goal. #MCINAP #ChampionsLeague

Under the lights at the Etihad for Man City v Napoli and the return of Kevin de Bruyne. Come on City! #MCINAP #ChampionsLeague

For tonight's Man City - Napoli game, this banger by @jimdalycomedy.bsky.social seems appropriate. #KDB #LetMeTalk #ManCity youtu.be/3atSVqYa844?...

To the tune of "It's a Heartache" by Bonnie Tyler: "Ruben Amorim They're never gonna win again They're crying in the Stretford End The reds are going down..."

Manchester is blue. That is all.

Those of you with a Half Man Half Biscuit persuasion will understand this. www.toffs.com/shop-by-team...

Playing the US CD single of this classic. Tune. That is all.

There are still a very small number of tickets to see the fab @penfriendrocks.bsky.social along with the also fab Carol Hodge over the next two weeks. You will regret it if you don't, so if you are near Manchester, Bristol, London or Birmingham, you know what to do. penfriend.rocks/gigs

THREAD: Remembering the halcyon days when 7", 12" and CD singles had what was "The B-Side", and on later singles, the other tracks that made up the single or EP. Plenty of bands put effort into this for their fans and made the singles well worth a purchase. So let's go! (1)

There are some classic TV series that need to be left alone and not remade into a modern film. Bagpuss is one of them. Leave the old saggy cloth cat alone so we can retain those lovely memories and not have them tarnished.

Pictures from the final section (Section 10) of the Vanguard Way walk are below. It was lovely, going to Cuckmere Haven, seeing the Seven Sisters cliffs, walking Seaford Head and along the beach at Seaford and Bishopstone before heading along Tide Mills to Newhaven. www.flickr.com/photos/zawto...

I take a look at the large screen arcade adventure Nonterraqueous, converted to the Commodore 64 by Kevin Green. Does it stand up well as a conversion, or does it fall as flat on its face as a pancake? Find out: mastertronic.co.uk/game-review-...

Vanguard Way is complete! Last section of 6 miles today past Cuckmere Haven, views of Seven Sisters, Seaford Head and Seaford, and on to Newhaven. The harbour station is very unloved though.

Full time and Chelsea Women 2-1 Manchester City Women. A close contest and one that showed promise. Ellie Carpenter was good for the hosts, Sydney Lohmann was powerful for City. Injuries did mar things though. #CHEMCI #WSL

Half time at Stamford Bridge. A well taken Aggie Beever-Jones goal for Chelsea for the opener. Alex Greenwood's free kick hit the bar in response. All to play for. #CHEMCI #WSL

At Stamford Bridge for Chelsea Women v Manchester City Women. Should be a cracker. Come on City!

And here's @penfriendrocks.bsky.social herself to tell the story of Disarm. Lots of lovely bundles to purchase too, which I recommend highly.

Fifteen years ago this week, She Makes War's debut album Disarm was released. And if you've never heard it, you really should. Standout tracks for me are Slow Puncture and Let This Be, but all great. And there's a 15th anniversary listen tonight too. shemakeswar.bandcamp.com/album/disarm

I take a look at Mastertronic's attempt at a strategy game for the Commodore 16 and Plus/4, Battle. Will you be wanting to sink the oil rigs or is at bad as Big Rigs? Only one way to find out: mastertronic.co.uk/game-review-...

Tomorrow's game between Chelsea Women and Manchester City Women at Stamford Bridge may have swung slightly on the injury news coming out of Chelsea - Bronze, James and Ramirez all out. That'd be a big miss for any team, never mind the current WSL champions. Come on City!

Sometimes a game does not quite measure up - and there are four examples here of potentially why. Your mileage will of course vary. Thankfully years after Hot Rod, Ash and Dave then produced Slicks on the C64, which is an essential purchase. And Willow Pattern? Treasure Island craftily re-skinned.

What happens when some good 8-bit games get their Amiga conversions? @bloggospow.bsky.social has you covered (and a nice anecdote about an old computer show too.)

Thirty three revolutions per hour, as the Vic-20 gets a selection of games played with the new Penultimate+3 cart. Something old, something new, something borrowed and some excellent things from @stinkyox.bsky.social along the way too. Crank the volume up for this one.

For those of you wondering why the instrumental version of André Brasseur's "Waiting For You" was used for the theme tune for the iconic Indoor League in the 1970s, then this live vocal version should give you all the answers. I'll si'thee then. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ksmx...

I take a look at Scout from Mastertronic, a Commodore 64 only release coded by two Compunet demo coders. What did I think of it? Find out: mastertronic.co.uk/game-review-...

Somehow I just knew that the Champions League draw would see Manchester City play Napoli. This being at home will mean a return of the king Kevin de Bruyne to the Etihad, which will be emotional. #ChampionsLeague #ManCity #KingKev

Also a takeout from today's game to the Man City ticket office: revert tickets to have a scannable barcode as backup instead of assuming all phones have NFC and are switched on. I got in okay but the queues were horrendous. Sort it out.
