I wonder if our Ann picked this up when she was in Britain.

first time I got to the endgame and the crowd cheering "E-B-A!" --> stone cracking --> STRAIGHT INTO "jumpin jack flash" bit happened, I got the biggest damn rush. classic game all the way

This is absolutely beautiful and very well done.

I’m spending the day sitting in front of a laptop with your ex-husband, where we’re taking turns to refresh the live national grid energy stats until it shows 0% fossil fuels for the first time in history. When it happens we’ll nod and smile at each other then celebrate with a can of 0% Guinness.

Sad to discover this morning that Echo Beach isn't in fact a real place.

Me holding a copy of The Cinematic Orchestra's album in front of Gigi Murin singing it.

Now here's a cut that I didn't think would cross the streams.

This is an incredibly niche thing, but I need people to know I heard the first few bars of Fragma's Toca Me in a shop today and for the first time ever they actually played the OG Toca Me and not Toca's Miracle. Miraculous in itself.

Well that's my illusion shattered.

Like the moment I realized Superdry were from bloody CHELTENHAM.

WE’LL BE LESS ACTIVIST IF YOU BE LESS SHIT

Crazy that they got the name from "Paris, Texas" and not the state itself.

All this time I've assumed Sixpence None The Richer were a British band, but they're TEXAN?? #totp

Had a bath after the annual half-marathon and all I could think while running it was Bulbasaur saying "let's get this place HUMID!"

After seeing non-stop discourse about the Snow Halation penlights, it only strengthens my opinion that all of this wotagei shit can kindly get in the fucking sea.

Week 1 of the new food recycling caddy is officially done.

Sign saying "We Love Live" at a live venue

Don't think I've ever seen one of these in the wild before.

Floating Cam Bar Private address Registered with Cambridge City local authority CB4 Last inspection: 2 August 2024 Food Hygiene Rating 4 Good

A picture of two people on a punt boat on the River Cam, on which is a big box that says Pimm's on it.

My favourite is this rating of Floating Cam Bar, which is a boat that serves drinks. Would have loved to see the inspection for this one.

Watched a video about food safety ratings and discovered restaurants don't have to display them in England. Some surprisingly low scores out there in some familiar places.

With Digimon Movie Collection 2 showing up in people's hands, how about a little peek at one of the most complex sub effects we've done so far? The original dub replaced the Japanese credits with a Windows-themed overlay, so we copied that for ours.

Thanks to the wonders of Foursquare I can tell you it's been 9 years since I last went bouldering. The pain feels like I haven't done arm day since then.

#totp Cher's Believe and George Michael's Outside both released in the same week in 1998. I really felt like this was the future at the time.

Soyo: Why is it that we can never say the things that are most important?

It's MyGO!!!!! is incredible as usual. There are a bunch of lines that stick in the memory, but I feel like this is one that doesn't get aired enough.

SENTENCES YOU NEVER THOUGHT YOU’D READ: Property tycoon Robert Tchenguiz is looking to launch a co-working space for the ultra-rich in the old MI5 HQ in Mayfair, Bloomberg’s Lucy White reports. If you thought that was an eyebrow raising sentence … he’s chosen Liz Truss to be the public face of the project and to tap up her network to find members.

I've never wanted a venture to fail more than this one.

Life in a Northern Town

I've somehow managed to get Spotify into a 'songs your favourite songs sampled from' playlist. Seriously, 0:55 of this track blew my mind. open.spotify.com/track/4m3OS5...

A screenshot of Flightradar24 with two Army Air Corps helicopters flying in tandem, one with callsign UGLY01 and the other with callsign CRNGE2.

Never let it be said the Army isn't allowed to have fun on the job.

More reasons to love Radio Garden. They've just added a new Christmas radio station from Tallinn. I tuned in expecting to hear some traditional Estonian song, but no, it's just I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday AGAIN.
