The big question is Lou or Nico on vocals?

Any updates on Goebbels?

The headline writes itself.

Correction, that should be Shetland, not the Shetlands, as I was reminded when I was up there a couple of years ago.

I have just finished listening to this evening’s episode from Unst, the most northerly part of the Shetlands.

I couldn’t get to the game today as I’m not in London,l listened to the BBC’s commentary on R5. Instead. The commentary team enjoyed the “Have you ever seen Brighton win a cup” chant, though they didn’t mention the last line.

Have you ever seen Brighton win a cup?

You should be able to add yourself to the waiting list now if you have 9k+, I have just done so.

Erasure fans will be flocking to New Cross after hearing of this.

IIRC he doesn’t tend to take on a new job until after the third round of the FA Cup.

Yes, a group of us are going. We went about 8 years ago. Enjoy The Neph.

Are you going to Shiiine On in a couple of weeks time?

Andrew is a sort of non-prince now, a… well, I’m sure there’s some sort of portmanteau word that would describe him well.

I’m wearing the same t-shirt that I wore at the semi final and cup final last season. Will be wearing a long sleeved jumper on top of it though, it’s late October now, not mid May.

Decades after the Heysel and Hillsborough disasters, can politicians please not second-guess expert safety assessments for football stadiums.

Thank you.

I’m probably going to Nottingham or Newcastle.

The BBC are accidentally running the subtitles to Mrs Marple over the Mercury Prize, and it’s rather wonderful. A few of lines could plausibly have been written by Jarvis.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing? 2? Questions I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.

They didn’t just NOT give Trump the Nobel Peace Prize, they wrote a citation that reads like an anti-Trump rallying cry.

(He’s gonna extra-tariff Norway now, isn’t he?)

Fresh ink.
