I didn’t realise it was unusual till a chat with my wife flagged that it very much was. Seemed to make sense to me. Also random Harrow only bubble: no sixth forms, colleges were all tertiary. Pros and cons to that one

@samuelwroberts.bsky.social Just catching up on your Bully episode, really good, very fond memories of that game. But random memory based on your “why are year 7s & year 11s in the same school” point. I grew up in Harrow & year 7 was in primary school. We started high school in year 8. No idea why

Why not both? 🥳

Used to be our local at our publisher, many a features meeting conducted in there. Unrecognisable round that way now

Those two and the OG above are unbelievable. While Origin of Symmetry’s first half is pretty flawless, think this is the best overall album they’ve done

Oh I meant the album. I Want You Like an Accident is ace particularly. But yes as a massive dEUS fan, i can see that you’re tight. Not convinced I’d “found” dEUS at that point

Had to search what you meant ha. Random. Used to love this record

I guess it’s focusing on the best. I have fond memories of that horse demo where it just didn’t work, though. That and Star Wars Kinect, peak Kinect frippery

Fable: The Journey falling on deaf ears

This Peanuts / Alien strip is pretty cool, and also a good demonstration of the slightly surprising story breaks in a great monster movie. Usually your beast only reveals itself properly halfway through. Look:

Big Streets of Rage energy

It’s really good, how many planned in the series? I’m digging the almost Framley-adjacent vibe of it. Also resonates as I spent a lot of my youth in and around Essex. Big shout out to Kelvedon

Yeah it’s the joint lowest ever.

It really is, has a hypnotic atmosphere. Thoroughly recommend for anyone into close-to-home weirdness

Oh no I’m going to have to buy those two now

Great cover. I just bought their tribute to Aphex Twin which is one of the finest quality bookazines I’ve ever seen

Drop culture: absolute bullshit

It is. Luckily the music lives up to it. They’ve not done a bad record, mind

iPlayer is stuffed with great films just now.

Mainlining old Bullseyes on Challenge at my dad’s. Not seen the first series before, amazing how much of the running time is taken up explaining the concept. “A clock for every room”? Oh go on then Jim

Dude is absolutely desperate to have one of the classics on his CV. See if this one happens

I think it’s even worse
