It's usually Pacific State that gets mentioned when people think of 808 State but for me this was their masterpiece.

I approve of this poster

At the Glasshouse tonight with my daughter for a brilliant Joni Mitchell tribute show. Live music really is the best music.

Just spent a lot of money on a new pair of gloves. It'd better be a cold winter is all I'm saying. (I have arthritic fingers and they hurt when they get cold so I'm not being entirely frivolous with my spending).

Gregggg and Philip Schofield. Both experienced in TV and free of other commitments. Perfect really. Failing that Gary Lineker and Greta Thunberg just to see how annoyed the daily mail can get before they've even started

First away game since Preston tonight. Been a proper part timer away this season for different reasons so glad to be back at it. #utb

A story in three parts

Tickets for Johnny Marr at Castlefield Bowl in July bought. Always good to have something to look forward to.

Every post from the Tory conference just makes me sad. Like watching a destitute clown begging for pennies.

labour are like a referee who booked someone in the first five minutes for a 50/50 challenge and the game is now spiralling out of control and they’ve sent off over four hundred players

New specs. They look like pretty much every other pair I've had recently, cost a fortune because I have an unerring knack for picking out expensive frames plus I'm old and need varifocals and somehow they were already filthy within 10 minutes of me putting them on.

If you see this post with a concert pic you took

Who needs faith when there's a bottle A bottle gives regular blues Let your mind escape into the bottle Rattle on till it bruise

The Orbit, Morley. This track. Perfection.

Will I be able to wear them in the Metaverse?

First child successfully delivered to university. Relatively stress free and no tears from either side - can't promise I won't be blubbing looking at her empty bedroom later though

Something like this seems to be what they're suggesting. They're not even trying to hide it any more. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aktion_...

Make a band singular Simon or Garfunkel

Sometimes I want to listen to music, sometimes I love to read, sometimes I just want to stare at football on the telly. Today I don't want to listen to music and can't be bothered read so I'm having to watch Scotland play Denmark. Fuck you international breaks.

Great Yarmouth is set to host the biggest neo-nazi music festival in over a decade. The Home Office has the power to block entry of overseas bands, which will scupper the promoters plans. But they won’t act unless we demand it. Email the Home Office now: hopenothate.org.uk/2025/08/28/g...

I never share these normally because really, who cares, but today's is just very pleasing to look at. I won't be making this a habit I promise. Wordle 1,535 2/6 🟦🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟧🟧🟧🟧🟧

Almost like they're lying about their reasons and they really are just racists

This tweet goes hard

Today I've been shopping with the girl for stuff for her uni flat, tomorrow the boy is off to Leeds festival with his mates. Got them through childhood without breaking them and they've turned out to be good people - I think I can be quite proud of that. Still makes me feel old though!

Big decisions to make today. Do I hang the washing out or stick it in the drier? It's a bit grey and looks like it might rain for context.

I'd give it a few months before this becomes "indigenous Briton”. With some terrible spellings of course.

Some twat has just knocked on my door and set the dog off barking and now I'm going to be awake half the night until my heart rate gets back to normal.

Back at it again

That's like saying planning to rob a bank is slightly risqué. It's illegal not controversial. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

My Mam found this scrapbook today - just the 50 years old #boro

Daughter didn't quite get the grades she expected - distraught when she opened the envelope. Daughter did get into Newcastle Uni to study history anyway - incredible relief when she saw that UCAS email. Stressful morning!

The more I see it the more that little rectangle graphic on the replays on Sky annoying me. Just why?

Match day!

Half an hour into the championship season and Don Goodman has already done my head in.

The poor fella didn't know whether he was coming or going

America at it again.

‘People’, lads. The word is ‘people’.

Today's new listening Sounds exactly like you'd expect with lots of piano and vocal samples and I love it.

Totally beside the (very important) point but that photo makes him look like he has goblin ears

Hello. I am the rain in a US TV programme. I am never a light drizzle or even a steady fall rather I am always utterly torrential.

Rishabh Pant batting with a broken foot and seemingly can hardly move. Very brave but risks him getting hurt even more badly - can't see the point to be honest.

Chloe Kelly’s goal celebration face is the exact look my sister used to give me behind our mum’s back when I was being told off

Understandable decision but it's still sad to see Jonny Howson go without the chance to say goodbye to the fans. Whatever he goes on to do he'll always be welcome back.
