Over here because a lot of the accounts i enjoyed are. Mostly reasonable, occasionally contrary. Have realised, quite late in life, that my real heroes are sitcom characters from the 70's! QPR. MUSIC. FILM. BOOKS UP TO 2009!

Yeah… you couldn’t help but smile!
Their problem is they are hardly ever pushed like that.

Overall though it’s nice to be talking about the cricket rather than comparing it to the mens game…

And all one day cricket should be played in good wickets!

I didn’t watch all Englands games in the tournament, there are clearly some standout players but good teams reveal themselves under pressure. Their evolution needs to find a bit of steel?
They are not alone, even Australia wilted today.

England’s Ashes debacle and review was meant to change everything. Did it? | Raf Nicholson A change of approach is imminent, as Charlotte Edwards hinted at. The nagging worry is that it might already be too late

I found this illuminating.
Typical England

There would have to be an outside intervention to stop them winning.
An act of god or a bookie!
The gap is widening too? England appear to me to be heading backwards

Jared Harris’s final scene in Mad Men was memorable but blimey…A House of Dynamite!

Nottingham’s the Rossettis have appeared fully formed. The singer has a careworn, ‘bin doin dis for 30 years, this is the las’ dance’ vibe.
First release soon…
Playing Liverpool at the end of November…
I heartily recommend…

Who’d have thought that Ace Frehley’s death would remind us of a certain age to be sure of our footing!
Reminds me of an interview during the pandemic. An elderly epidemiologist was asked what older people could do to keep themselves safe.
He paused, then said just be really careful not have falls!

Well that’s a shame.

The Loft and the Wedding Present are a very good night out.

Just a terrible thing for him and his family. Any one who followed the 97 lions loved Dodie and every England fan loved Lewis.
But I don’t think I watched a game he was involved in where he didn’t seem to be concussed at some point.
I know it’s a changing game but there can’t be any doubt about risk

#QPR that was a very good move. Slightly surprised it was given but hey ho!

What a guy, knew a chap who was trying to make a doc about Vini Reilly years ago, he sent me a clip of Bruce being interviewed, never wanted a doc to be made more.
Sadly I think Vini proved too Ill/flakey (?) to complete.

I generally don’t get involved with ‘now playing’ posts including little display units but…
lost a lot of vinyl in a flood, didnt have a record player for a long time. But now I’ll spend Sunday mornings playing a couple of albums, this morning it’s Last splash by the Breeders, what a great record!

Spent the first half mostly astonished at the change in Madsen. Work rate, awareness, bit of bite here and there.
Different player?

Madsen is a completely different player to even a few weeks ago…
Unrecognisable

I’ve been watching Ben Pearson do this for different awful teams for years. It’s one of the wonders of football that he’s had a career in the game.
He hates the ball!

#QPR there is fuck all wrong with Pearson there. Absolutely trying to get the man sent off.

#QPR impressed with Madsen’s work rate so far

#QPR came in late, just realised that the anti footballer Ben Pearson is still plying his miserable trade.
Made a good career out of kicking, moaning, pulling and generally avoiding anything football related!

I was never bothered about about Suede back in the day, but I once saw Brett in the Old Angel in Nottingham. Hipsters were quite the thing at that point. Brett just had a pair of chords that he just pulled down below his waist. Poor trouser work might be his thing?

I think Richard Kone might be the real deal…it’s been a while!

Turned off when Dixon started banging on about the Newcastle midfielder Anderson…
I was going out as well, but I like to think I’d have bailed out in disgust had I not been!

Why didn’t Angela Raynor just deny everything?
