Can’t wait. I’ll be the “whoop” as soon as you start A Lady of a Certain Age. (and Bang Goes the Knighthood and Mar-a-Lago and and and)
Broke my run of 170, bah!
“What the new Blur vs Oasis play gets bafflingly wrong,” teases the Guardian.
“What the new Blur vs Oasis play gets bafflingly wrong,” teases the Guardian. Well, I’ve read the article and it seems the only things they get wrong are Justine’s accent and Andy Ross’s manner.

Yay to Pet Shop Boys services.
Just one for me: the Outfield. I’ve just given it a quick listen, and nope, never heard it before.
Yeah, but is it much fewer or many fewer?
Marianne Faithfull, Tilda Swinton, Nick Cave and Warren Ellis? Fuck, yes!

A reference on The Night Agent to a device called the Khymera led me down a rabbit hole of memory horror to Kimera. This appalling sub-Hooked on Opera dreck was number one forever when I was a kid in South Africa. Gird your loins! open.spotify.com/track/7h8KZA...
Happy to live in a country that has stood up to Trump.
Three bricks. Rainwater. Broken glass. Christmas clementines. These are vomited across our limestone floor.
For me it’ll always bring to mind 1980s South African alternative band Petit Cheval. open.spotify.com/track/5HXUEp...
Nice of Saga to give Harrison Ford an award.
OK, so it’s drunk karaoke? We’ve all done it.
I am about to listen to Geese for the first time.
Looking forward to seeing you here in Madrid on Saturday.

I think I can remember Puppet on a String winning, though that seems unlikely considering I was 3 at the time. I definitely remember being gutted when Beg, Steal or Borrow came second, but as it lost to Apres Toi, I can now see it was only right.
Half of my people are talking about Iran; the other half are wanging on about the Brits. I’m not always sure which half is which.
I see someone has put it on YouTube
Have you watched the BBC documentary? He was so lovely.
A T shirt I spotted in Thailand, reading: BECAUSE SOMEONE DOESN'T LOVE YOU THE WAY YOU WANT THEM TO DOESN'T MEAN THEY DON T LOVE YOU WITH YOU THEY HAVE

There’s a contestant on MasterChef who called herself a “last minute dot com” kind of chef. I thought to myself: “Who says that anymore? How old is she???” Turns out she’s 27, so presumably born the same year last minute dot com was founded.
Dirty Business - the sewage scandal docu-drama - on C4 is staggering TV. Not only the cold rage of it, and the depiction of banal corporate evil, but the production methods and performances. Poo Chernobyl.
