You know who doesn't integrate? People like Robert Jenrick. You think he works out at the local leisure centre? Goes to the Tuesday night pub quiz? You think his golf club lets anyone play? Or his private members' clubs let anyone in? He puts the ick in prick

I think Shari Lewis did it better

That curious social media trend which I can only sum up as:

Me: Look at this amazing car.
You: Look at this horrible car crash

Rush is reuniting with a woman as the drummer and I think it's very sweet that Rush fans will get to see a woman once before they die

Jump to 50 seconds in and listen to the music they use.

The bar of the Midland Hotel, lunchtime on the Sunday of Tory conference.

Spotted over on Reddit.......

I owned this back in the day. It consisted of three separate text adventure games, together with a bonus teletext parody program at the end of the tape. If I remember rightly, there were also some bonus text hidden within the game code, which could be revealed by doing an ASCII dump.

That Eddie Arnold single is only named the first as it has the lowest catalogue number of those issued in the initial batch.

A club statement from Blackpool saying Steve Bruce has been sacked along with coaches Steve Agnew and Stephen Clemence. Stephen Dobbie and Steve Banks will take temporary charge.

You don’t have to be called Steve or Stephen to work at Blackpool, but it does help.

Bar Doof-Doof is closed again. I presume they've gone under.

Presumably titles from Infocom, Magnetic Scrolls and Level 9. Which reminds me to finally get around to playing the original MIT implementation of Zork, which ran under ITS on a PDP-10.

Sweary, not sweaty!
