Stupidly delighted by this! Have I ever mentioned how part one is the best single episode of Colin Baker TV Who?

Afternoon listening - this and its two companion volumes of hard bop from the post war era in Britain is the reason cds were invented. Done on vinyl this would be a £100 box set, done on cd it's twenty quid or so the lot. deathisnot.bandcamp.com/album/i-had-...

What's the betting these are five Stop the Boats morons, up to something utterly idiotic?

I know we said we were done, but what can I say - there's still so many stories to tell! Further news very soon, including pre-order links (all profits to Alzheimer charities, as ever).

"Micro-retirement"? I'm fairly sure most people still call them a holiday, including Gen Z.

An article that states, "A new trend is emerging among GenZ career professionals called 'Micro Retirements' Micro retirements involve taking a one or two week break from work every 12 to 18 months.

Quoted for truth. Applies to quite a few teams.

'majority' is doing some heavy lifting here.

Manchester City have been found guilty of breaking the majority of the 115 financial rules they were accused of breaching, sources have told BBC Sport.

The Athletic is reporting that the sanctions have not been decided but that the independent panel has reached its decision, finding them guilty of all but one count.

Sources have told BBC Sport a decision has been made in the case, and City have been found guilty of the majority of breaches.

Well I stuck with STUART FAILS TO SAVE THE UNIVERSE to the end of season 1 - helped by episodes that last about nine minutes - and it really is the dullest, least imaginative sf tv series ever made. It's like they went out their way to make the most cliche ridden show possible.

Listening to the last couple of decades of Zombies albums - and they're probably the 60s band who ended up churning out the least interesting later LPs. Everything new since 'New World' (to be fair, supposedly a contractual obligation/protect the band name sort of thing) has been basically awful.

It's only YouGov, I know, but I don't know a single regular attender at football games who thinks this is a good idea.

Poll showing only 15% of responders think the ban on drinking in the stands should be abolished.

If Andy Burnham could do something about lawless right wing scumbags blocking ambulances, shutting roads and attacking the RNLI, instead of giving half pissed football fans another few pints, that'd be great. Cynically, though, perhaps both his inaction and action are aimed at the same demographic.

In the whole of sitcom history, I think my favourite running joke must be the possibility that Kenneth the page is either immortal (or just very, very old) in 30 Rock.

BBC News and current affairs really are no long fit for purpose. I'm genuinely sad to say that out loud.
