Oh to be in the room when they are asked about this at Play Blackpool. Actually, not IN the room, I'd rather read about it than suffer the "possibility of plague" at the Norbreck Castle.

Just caught up on this week's #snluk. I thought the first series was great but I just can't say the same about the second so fsr. And where's Fouracres? He's barely been in it 😔

Looking for some advice from anyone who has bought and sold big box games on eBay! Do you think these boxes would suffice? The big box itself would be inside the packing box with bubble wrap and packing pieces outside, and the contents would also be secured. www.amazon.co.uk/SHIPPING-CAR...

Watching #wisdomofthecrowd for the first and last time. I think we've established many a time over the years that the crowd, generally, don't have any.

I don't recommend playing "every time the hosts say 'guys' on The Hit List take a shot", you'll either run out of alcohol or die, or both.

Am I the only one who read this as "Billionaire Man"?
Alt text: Screenshot of a news article headlined, “Billionaire Man United owner says he has lost confidence in the UK.” Below, Sir Jim Ratcliffe stands beside a large ship wearing a dark suit and pink tie. A video thumbnail is overlaid on the image, and the caption reads: “Sir Jim Ratcliffe says the UK economy is ‘on the slide’.”

There's an excellent version of Yellow Pearl (Top of the Pops theme circa early eighties) that's all guitars, hard drums and blub-blub-blub-blub-blub sound effects that they occasionally use on the Top 40 rundown but is there a good version that isn't all cut and pasted of it anywhere? Bloody no.
