Thinking of all the various Rasputins over the years - McSweeney, Dom Cummings, Steve Hilton, that nutty new age woman in the Blair years… it never works, the public and press will always hate them

Fresh from the groomers. Ironically β€˜short at the top, but leave the eyebrows and beard’ is also what I say to my barber

I suspect the tickets weren’t exactly flying off the shelves. The response to his Glastonbury set was muted. Shame, I was looking forward to it

β€˜Stand up and be counted’ compilation CDs, released 1999

β€˜Stand up and be counted’ compilation CDs, released 1999

One of the great things about the CD era was the themed compilation. 70 minutes of impossible-to-find tracks with sleevenotes that were too small to read

The mornings in that city were strange, as citizens, barely awake, reached for their radios to hear what the Mad King had done overnight, compelled to start their day equally cursed by knowledge and unable to act on it.

Flag of Greenland

Flag of Greenland

A side note I know, but this is a great flag. Only in use since 1985, it just makes design sense; the sun rising over the ice. Why would anyone want to swap it for that sweet wrapper?

There’s always an element of β€˜Welcome to the MLS’ about these Reform signings. Remember that guy from a couple of years ago? Was on the news? Well he plays for us now!
