What are bookies odds on Tories winning the next election?

I'm embracing becoming a BBC Radio 3 guy. The other week they did a thing where they were talking about lighthouses all day. A whole day man. Right now they're playing a 60s Steve Reich composition that is more challenging and interesting than anything on Stuart Maconie's so-called 'Freakzone.'

Nirvana merch is out of control. It was weird enough selling tees in Asda. I've just seen a Serve the Servants hoodie in H&M. They've got a whole In Utero range in there. What's going on man

At the Great Scottish Run junior race today, the announcer is giving shout outs to everyone at the finish line, big ups to all the kids, then "oooh here's someone in a Manchester City tracksuit, dunno how we feel about that." Harsh on the child, I feel.

Nicky Weaver. Paul Dickov. Darren Huckerby. Shaun Wright-Phillips. Don't tell me there aren't still some City fans out there who look back on the honest days in the second and third tier and, even privately, admit that they always preferred it. Wonder what they think of all this now.

I almost feel a little ashamed of the cynicism with which I'm meeting the Burnham buzz. It's not a noble quality. He does, in a limited sense, point in a better direction. I just can't bring myself to believe a word of it for very obvious reasons, and find it baffling that others are so quick to.

It’s absolutely mad how low the bar has fallen for centrists. All it took was a few vague platitudes and promises of change at some nebulous point in the future to convince them that they were back—AGAIN.

I know this is weak of me and he's doing fine but I do feel a bit bad for Pep Guardiola who has a real claim to being the best manager ever and whose work is now tarnished for good. Don't shackle yourself to an obviously suspect petrostate sportswashing project is probably the thing here isn't it

People say you shouldn't ever become, endorse, or embody the thing you are attempting to satirise or critique, but Mad Men does this entirely, very deliberately and intentionally, and it's one of the reasons why it's one of the greatest TV shows ever made.

Interesting that the latest Labour slogans "hope again" and "bring back hope" are pretty much a direct lift from Zack Polanski's leadership campaign slogan ("make hope normal again")

Last day of the Rip It Up weekender at the Anderston Pyramid. Lots of great stuff all day. They're screening Beats later and I'll be doing a wee Q&A after the film if you're into that. Film starts at 6. Have a look at the whole programme: thepyramid.scot/events/event...

When was the last time our Secretary of State for Culture displayed anything approaching this degree of public enthusiasm for our world-class arts industry? Has she been seen anywhere? Given impending charter renewal... did she even bother to visit a single prom?

The youngest person his pager attack killed was 9-year-old Fatima Abdullah, who had just started 4th grade. The pager was on a table when it went off and she picked it up to take to her dad. It exploded in her face and reports said it covered the room in her blood. She wanted to learn English.

I occassionally take a peek on Twitter for links to football stories, and what I can tell you is there is currently an immense outpouring of appreciation and enthusiasm for a 1990 live performance by Phil Collins. I've given considerable thought to this and concluded it must be halted at all costs.
