Nick Reed @nickinmasham.bsky.social · 24/07/2026The best cheese - and it’s not close - I have had in my life was “Cuillin” from a tiny independent called the West Highland Dairy. On the Scottish mainland near the Skye bridge. Never found the place again or seen it advertised. The Brigadoon of cheese. 260

Nick Reed @nickinmasham.bsky.social · 24/07/2026In further “Nick states the bleedin obvious” news, The Odyssey is a great blockbuster film. Well acted, well directed, and refreshingly well lit even when they are in a cave or the belly of a wooden horse. It flew by, though the last couple of scenes could have lost a couple of minutes each. 150

Paul Weller has the unique distinction of having had No.1s across five decades in various incarnations, and it’s literally him, Macca and Lennon who’ve done it over that stretch of time.
