Grew up with him on Big Break and will miss his commentary so much. Nobody could inject drama into their voice like him. RIP John.

Is it normal that my girlfriend turns up the bass on the sub-woofer when John Virgo is commentating?

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.

New whip

Close-up of the top corner of an aging ice cream van, two oversized plastic soft-serve cones mounted at an angle. The cones are weathered, with streaks of rain running down the white vehicle under a pale, cloudy sky. An older style 99 flake sticker is partially visible. Faded joy typical of the British seaside.

A solitary ice cream van with the label “Joe’s Super Whip” is parked on an empty coastal car park near a “Have you paid and displayed?” sign. Behind it are grass covered sand dunes, sand is partially covering the road markings underneath an overcast sky in Beadnell, Northumberland. The scene is quiet and low contrast.

A street scene featuring a row of houses. The building on the left is cream-coloured with a single window visible. A white headboard leans against its wall on the pavement. The houses on the right are red brick terraces with a lamppost in front of them. A street sign with a speed limit of 20 is visible on the lamppost.

Some ghost signs I came across recently

A brick side wall with a large painted ghost sign which reads ‘NATURAL No1 processed PEAS” and the image of a tin of peas

Sandygate Rd, Sheffield

An old shop front, likely a newsagents with two ghost signs. One an orange card with white border with “PLAYERS” in diagonal blue letters. The other a bright red square w white border and bold white text reads “picture POST”. Both are in surprisingly good condition.

Newbold Rd, Chesterfield

The side of a building, possibly a grocers with painted ghost sign still visible which reads “J.W. YATES ask for HOVIS”

Lostock Hall, Preston

...and then on the other hand we have a lovely piece by @wadeywade.bsky.social on how McAlmont & Butler's 'Yes' (released 30 years ago today, gulp) was a song of freedom that meant so much to so many LBGT+ people in the homophobic, laddy 90s thequietus.com/opinion-and-...

A couple more from an area soon to be regenerated. Hope they will be nice to the crows

Forward facing: the front of a house in various states of decay. There are is a window in each corner. Each window is different. There’s some litter strewn along the pavement.

Upwards and left: a view of the same building. Two red brick chimney stacks are now visible. The sky is pale blue and a murder of crows are swirling around it

High school: I’m doing homework in the family room and kinda watching a video of a live R.E.M. performance of “So. Central Rain.” My mom comes in, listens for a second, and says: “See, this guy in one of your weird bands isn’t too proud to say he’s sorry!”
