Chris Fartin. Could that be a thing?

HUBBA HUBBA!

Lou Ferrigno left the match early to call his agent.

Come for the headline, stay for the delusion.

40 years of Peter Gabriel’s face made out of pieces of fruit! #WhenWasThings

Mel Appleby's death prompted our neanderthalic PE teacher to give the school assembly the following Monday. He spoke about the three times in his life that he thought he was going to die and I was sad that he'd survived each time.

Ah well, at least Orbán's free to headline Wireless now.

Got loads of stories like this.

Talking of mixtape(s), I was fannying around in Sheffield yesterday for a few hours. Hashtag cheers.

Latest Prefab Sprout earworm once again segued into Broken Land by The Adventures, as per the mixtape I put together in May 88.

Didn't know that Ernest Borgnine was an Oscar winner. I thought he was just an actor.

Almond cookies.

Thought Saipan was alright. Disappointing lack of hilarious hair though.

Nice to have the football back.

A movie couple who would definitely have a podcast.

It’s sort of fascinating to see Wireless Festival have a shit with their clothes on and insist it’s Nutella.

My response to Melvin Benn would be (1) nobody thinks you booked Kanye West for three nights because you believe so much in forgiveness and (2) it’s not just the Jewish community that’s offended by celebrating the Nazis. He has a history of promoting anti-Black racism as well

Having another machine coffee. There's literally nothing else to do.

This machine coffee tastes like a machine coffee.

Pre-match meal: Two slices of generously buttered toast and a disappointing apple.

I always defend Matty Cash because he's superb but this is pushing it.

Reg Cox's murder can be traced back to this.

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

GET IT IN!

I didn't think a house could get prison tattoos but, well, here we are.

Why did you lose at draughts, Bruce?

Tricky Trev never stood a chance.

They come as a pair.

Pre-match meal of breakfast - so porridge followed by two slices of tiny toast.

Oh my god, the alt text is a gift. 😹

This feels like another ruse.

Classic hoovering after replacing the bag. It's like a new signing.

I’ve watched this video of Mike Lindell being served legal papers during his TV interview at CPAC a dozen times already! 🤣🤣

Might be the greatest opening paragraph of anything ever.

Julian Glover popped up in a film I watched last night, (The Toll), which was nice. (Happy birthday, Julian.)

Good lad.

Pretty sure John Wark and Russell Osman didn't go toe to toe with the Nazis for this. For shame.

Remember ABC and Squeeze making welcome returns in 1987, even though by then they were impossibly ancient.

Can't see Yordan Letchkov and not be immediately transported back to a hotel bar in Majorca.

For reasons of trying not to view anything too grim before bed, I always leave the telly on BBC4 before switching off. Ended up watching most of this. Totally engrossing from the get go.

Your move, Infantino.

Brian Moore said there was a late twist in the Man City vs Oxford highlights but there wasn't. It was just a late winner in a 1-0 win for Man City. I was waiting for Oxford to score twice. I am booing Brian Moore. Boooooo!
