Once again, rest in pepperoni's to that pigeon

Extremely enlightened conversation in there.

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?

Ah the Broomhill trip makes sense now.

Are yer lost?

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.

IT'S RANDY!!!!

Hillsborough: Sex Suburb

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. #northumberland #photography #WheelsOnWednesday

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.

Periodic check what a 22 Grand Job should now be paying.

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.

A circular manhole cover embedded in asphalt featuring a sigil/crest. The crest depicts the Lamb of St. Wilfrid, the Patron Saint of Preston. The letters "PP" on the crest stand for "Princeps Pacis” or “Prince of Peace” (but sometimes interpreted as Proud Preston, in modern times)

Seedy English vignettes supercharged by the bombast of New York's superclubs – the world's first modern remix album found Soft Cell on a seesaw between hedonism and self-destruction...

The Ultimate Fuck You: McAlmont & Butler's 'Yes' Revisited | The Quietus Ian Wade travels back three decades to the song that blew the Adidas socks off Britpop, a defiant moment in which Bernard Butler and David McAlmont transcended their pasts with what became a queer ant...

...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
