When Alan Ball departed as manager of Manchester City in the 90s, he blamed 'the media'. However, as a journalist from the Manchester Evening News reminded him, "We have to print the results, Alan."
Ex-Aussie cricket captain Steve Smith says in a new interview about his team cheating by using sandpaper to alter the condition of the ball that he's "not a big fan of cameras". Well, quite frankly, Stevo, I'm not fucking surprised.
I know. There's so much music out there, so many people pushing new sounds on you, multiple demands on your time. Still, let's put all that to one side while you check out this wondrous EP. Not even a whole album, see. Easy. Go on: I'd be ever so grateful. helenandtheneighbourhooddogs.bandcamp.co…

Unusually honest of him, I'd say, though unlikely to inspire the confidence of Pakistan's bowlers. #cricket
What with the #BayeuxTapestry exhibition opening today, I've been thinking about Saxon resistance on the Isle of Ely where they had an anti-capitalist non-binary commune led (in a non-patriarchal way) by Hereward The Woke. #NoYOUEffOff
What a night in Seattle! Couldn’t have asked for a better way to kick off the #TajMo Tour! The love in the room was something special, and it felt good to be back on stage together. Thank you, Seattle, for giving us such a beautiful beginning - we’re just getting started! @tajmahalblues.bsky.social
@lordshortcake.bsky.social likes to point out that 'football is chaos', and he's right. However, if I may: Ladies and Germs, I give you, the inimitable Pakistan cricket team in the middle of an overseas tour. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricke...

In 1976, during an unforgettable episode of her syndicated television variety show Dolly!, Dolly Parton welcomed her close friends and fellow music icons Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt to share the stage.
I read that Chris Evans and Jonathan Ross can't stand each other. For once, I agree with both of them.
Italy permits Starbucks to operate in the country, provided that the branch is situated in a tunnel. #fact
'Beard consistently adopted a humble attitude towards his success. When ZZ Top were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004, he said: “All I have to say is that most of my life has been a pleasant surprise, and so is this. Thank you."' What a gent. www.theguardian.com/music/2026/a...

When the woman on the BBC News tonight divulged that she was queuing for bottled water (burst water main incident) because her husband needed “his wash in the mornings”, I might have said “soapy t*t w*nk”. Still, it's too late to take it back now.
Awfully sad post on local Facebook group. Bloke ordered eclipse glasses for him and his wife, but they're now not being delivered until Sunday.
Michael J. Fox has said that due to his Parkinson's he has no memory of dating Susanna Hoffs in the '80s. Personally I cannot imagine a greater personal tragedy
Checking out restaurants in Verona, and I think I'll pass on the donkey ragu. Risky? Well, I remember eating stewed bat in Wuhan some years ago and coming home with a nasty cold. Probably not connected, though.
Your creepy album covers, please. Here's Sinatra. (Bag of sweets not pictured.)
What's this then? Well, I wrote the lyrics and my pal Jeff Palmer wrote the music and organised the recording. As you can see, we got a US deal for it - which was exciting - and if you feel like sharing it, I'll try to mention you at the Grammys. expressiveartists.sourceaudio.com/track/17300170

Mrs B continues to binge-watch the wannabe influencer oceangoing reality show 'Below Deck'. Me? I continue to distance myself from it, unless the producers take me up on my pitch: Below Deck - Strait of Hormuz
An extract from a customer newsletter. For avoidance of doubt, this wasn't a perk that was made available to all.
Mrs B is binge-watching reality show 'Below Deck'. "A young, single, and unfailingly irritating crew lives, loves and works aboard a luxurious yacht, meeting the ever-changing needs of demanding clients and moaning about it." (I have adapted IMDb's description.)

Diana Rigg's daughter, Rachael Stirling - a pretty fine actress herself - has written a book about her mother. Her intro has already confirmed all that I hoped was true about the Riggster and love and booze and life. Also, I've 'gone' already.
