Someone at work just said, without a hint of irony, “I’ve heard of PS5, but not PSG.”

This season I have seen elite-level footballers younger than my oldest daughter.

That’s a serious “I’m old” moment, that.

A broken arm, the tuning peg on my Gibson SG, VAR, Jon Bon Jovi’s vocal chord (although they found a way to sort that, do you want to go and see Bon Jovi?)

What song were Guns n’ Roses playing on Top of the Pops?

That’s a bit harsh, Robert.

Hi Robert,

What made you stop liking Guns n’ Roses?

Was it Axl Rose from about 1993 to 2015? Cause that’s fair enough, if so.

I’ve never left a show saying the band should have charged more for tickets until tonight.

Turnstile.

Bloody hell.

Watching some old music videos on YouTube with my daughters.

No piece of media has ever captured the joy and despair of football better than the video for Waka Waka.

Wifi on planes is admittedly pretty cool. You wouldn’t be enjoying this post without it.

That it enables headphone-less FaceTime calls at 32,000 feet?

Not so much.

Day off with my daughter tomorrow.
Just asked her what she wants to do and she said “go to nursery.”

He went out and wound next door’s dog up before coming in really cross.

He has a fairly solid track record of allowing prey to get the better of him and escape.

My cat needs to realise being a predator isn’t for him.

Bought in a mouse, it escaped, took refuge behind a cupboard.

After a few days stake out , he’s got the mouse, bought it into the living room.

It’s thwarted him again and I’ve managed to get it out the front door unscathed.

Waster.

@robcorp.bsky.social Do you stay on and go to 1979 TOTP?

I was complaining that 1998 had finished and then the 1979 episode started with War Stories by The Starjets.

Sent me down a rabbit hole that ended in the low EPG music channels at 2230.
