I never thought I’d be sorry to see the Conservative Party floundering like this but in what’s basically a centre-right country it might be an idea to keep some intellectual ballast in the centre right to stop the actual fascists filling the vacuum.

Largely predictable but to mine own self I must be true. Could have done with another 20 picks really.

I gather the Bunnymen have a new LP out. I remember McCulloch in 2013 saying he hadn’t heard a Bowie album since 1980 because ‘they’re all just Tin Machine now’. Hate to tell you Ian but since 1984 I haven’t heard a Bunnymen album because they’re all just Electrafixion now.

Literally had to dust off the DVD player to watch this classic for the first time in I don’t know how long. It’s Audrey Tatou in Paris and films don’t get any better-looking than that Brian.

I mean I’m pleased that my car insurance renewal quote is £37 less than last year but mainly I’m suspicious because the bastards are obviously up to something.

Just walked the dog and it’s considerably warmer outside than it is in the house. Mind you we’re north-facing and whoever built the place certainly scrimped a bit on the old window tax.

“Football will have to change after the Man City affair” sounds a bit like “society will have to respect bin men and bus drivers more after covid” to me.

I can understand folk having a chuckle at Tony Pulis but I can tell you he doesn’t believe for a moment that Stoke could or should get the 2011 FA Cup and nor do (m)any fans. The reason you’re hearing this stuff is purely because he does three fucking podcasts a day after meals.

Gavin Bazunu was an absolute calamity on loan for Stoke last season but his stance on the Israel/Ireland match shows he’s made of solid stuff so respect to him.

Albums where you can sing every word on every song? Keep it believable if not necessarily true.

Now playing Forever Changes because Bryan MacLean would have been 80 yesterday. I move in mysterious ways. Anyway I reckon this is about 2000th time I’ve listened to it. Perhaps slightly more than This Nation’s Saving Grace but still less than Safe As Milk. Not that I keep a record of these things.

On a night like this (c. K Minogue) 606 with Aaron Paul and Pat Nevin can be a great listen which just makes the Sunday night playground version with Savage and Sutton shouting asinine shite over the callers and each other sound all the more pathetic.

If the mystery celeb who assaulted Andy Carroll got a jail term then isn’t that a matter of public record? Mind you I haven’t heard of most non-mystery celebs these days so I don’t suppose it matters.

I’ve only ever read a few bits and bobs by Stephen King but I picked up a 30th anniversary edition of The Green Mile (knew nowt about it, never seen the film) and bloody heck what a lovely book that is.

Before every Stoke match this season they’ve played a song over the PA that I was convinced was the Immigrant Song but my mate tells me it’s by Oasis and it’s got a rude title. I always want to harumph a bit at their cheek but of course Led Zep hardly had a spotless record in the plagiarism dept.

MP on the news saying it seems counterintuitive that the UK has a world leading music industry but does crap in Eurovision. Seems pretty intuitive to me: Eurovision music isn’t world leading music is it.

Via the miracle of literary projection I’ve been in the outer Hebrides this week enjoying Douglas Stuart’s latest and I’m inclined to say greatest. Tender and funny with a beautifully drawn range of characters just doin’ the best they can.

Forty-nine years ago today my dad said to me “I see your mate’s died then.” I’m like “what?! Gareth from down the road!?” Turned out he was on about Marc Bolan which was obviously very sad but came as quite a relief under the circumstances.
