#musicsky Suede, Trash 30th anniversary of Coming Up today, the Suede album it took me longest to make my mind up on. Today I can see it for the banger-after-banger album it is, but for the first few months Brett's sped up vocals bothered me to the extent that I likened him to Perky Pig.

Has anyone else had a problem playing BFI Blu-ray or UHD disks? I bought the Mark Jenkin Cornish Trilogy and frustratingly Enys Men won't work. There's a known problem playing back BFI disks on the PS5 - a specific copy protection issue - but not working on my Sony UHD is quite annoying. 1/.

#81: Driverless
A screenshot of a headline to a Guardian column by Adrian Chiles. It reads "Driverless cars are taking us on a road to nowhere."

(Alt-text for next image)
It was just rotten bad luck, that was all. If I had been a little speedier in cracking Lady Hurlington’s jewellery safe then we may have been making our merry way back down the trellis when she and her brute of a husband returned from their late dinner. As it was, the Colonel caught us rather red-handed and it was only by the swiftness of my reactions that I avoided being run-through by the regimental sword he kept above the fireplace. Poor ‘Blinky’ Blenkinsop, my companion in crime, was not so lucky; the Colonel pierced him right in the breadbasket, with a triumphant cry of ‘Take that, you bounder!’ The pompous oaf’s celebration did however give me the moment’s grace I needed to grab a heavy candlestick from the table and deliver a hefty blow to his muttonchops. While he clattered to the floor and her Ladyship fell into a faint, I managed to drag poor old Blinky down the stairs and out the front door - straight into the midst of the thickest fog London had ever seen.
Blinky was bleeding heavily, claret colouring both his evening dress and mine. Behind us I could hear shouting voices and the whistle of a bobby. I knew I had to act fast.
A black shape drew up beside me. A taxicab. Without thinking, I opened the door and thrust poor Blinky in, then tapped on the cab window. “Piccadilly, driver, and don’t spare the horses”. Before I was even inside the taxicab’s door we were moving.
(Continued on next alt-text)(Continued from previous alt-text)
Spared from the immediate attentions of the constabulary, I set about attending to Blinky. Using my silk scarf, I attempted to plug the wound in his belly. He groaned loudly at my touch.
“Hush now, Blinky,” I told him, “We’ll have you fixed up in no time.”
He just shook his head.
“No,” he moaned, “Deserve all that’s coming. Time to pay the piper.”
“What rot!” I scoffed, “The piper can go hang.” But I knew what he meant.
Our last job, robbing a diamond merchant’s in Hatton Garden had gone badly; a night watchman had surprised us and I, thinking only of our survival, had delivered him a terrible blow to his skull, one from which he had subsequently perished. I know that this was preying on poor Blinky’s mind.
“Be quiet now,” I said to him, “save your strength.”
While he rested, I peered through the taxicab’s window but could see nothing; mere shapes and shadows, insubstantial. At one point I sensed that we were moving over water, though I could think of no bridge that would take us to Piccadilly.
I leaned out of the window, tapped again on the cab.
“Driver?” There came no answer. Unnerved now, I stepped out onto the running plate - the road but a vague blur beneath me, almost like fog itself - and peered through the driver’s window.
No man sat at the wheel. We passengers, myself and Blinky, were the taxicab’s only occupants.
I lifted my head, looked out into the fog. We were no longer in London.
We were, it appeared to me, no longer anywhere at all.

The whole fury and might of the enemy must very soon be turned on us. 

2
CHURCHILL:
Hitler knows that he will have to break us in this Island or lose the war.

3
CHURCHILL:
If we can stand up to him, all Europe may be free 
and the life of the world may move forward into broad, sun-

BBC PRESENTER:
Thank you prime minister 

4
BBC PRESENTER:
Mr hitler, your response?

5
HITLER [in the studio]:
Vell zis is hysterical woke nonsense as usual from mr Churchill

6
HITLER:
What we are proposing -

CHURCHILL:
Hang on

7
HITLER:
Let me finish - what we are proposing eez a simple power-sharing arrangement -

8
CHURCHILL:
What's he doing here

BBC PRESENTER:
It's important we hear both sides of the debate

9
CHURCHILL:
This isn't a debate 
You don't debate fascists

10
HITLER:
Oh here we go with ze Godwins law!

11
HITLER:

RAUSS!

BBC PRESENTER:
