@brianmoore666 Watching more and more every year. It’s just so layered, and adding the Cavendish element in the mix is just the cherry on top.

I'm lucky enough to be able to watch most of the Tour de France on TV, and it's rapidly becoming a highlight of my annual sports viewing.

Unbridled horror!!!!!

"If I speak too long, I'm going to cry" @PhilLiggett #TDF2024 @MarkCavendish After coining the "Manx Missile" nickname and commentating all 35 of Mark Cavendish's Tour de France stage wins, Phil Liggett reflects on the moment.

@MooseAllain I’m going to try that out later, thinking best midway through pint #3?

@KathrynWoodburn @SmythsToysUK Hope it’s not coincidence but there are loads more on eBay this evening than there were yesterday…..

@SmythsToysUK can you explain why a product with an expected date of 16th - 22nd Dec this morning now has a due date if March 24, when the manufacturer advised you were due stock today? Smart Ball Indoor Soccer Bot Size 1

@MooseAllain @OliverJeffers Going to see the play in Manchester next month, with music by @gruffingtonpost …can’t wait!

A mention for the brilliant @OliverJeffers too, who made rereading books with my children a joy #NationalIllustrationDay. Simple, beautiful but clever drawings full of wit.

I couldn’t find the footage but it sounded like an amazing goal

@MichaelAHann @JamieCGee 😬😬

Happy Meldrew Point Day, Edward Norton! Today you are 19,537 days old and have reached your Meldrew Point - the age of Richard Wilson on the day One Foot In The Grave was first aired on Jan 4, 1990. I don’t believe it!

Park the bus

Form goes out the window

@Tim_Burgess When you actually stop and think about that, it’s absurd.

While nurses have to pay to park at their workplace 🤷‍♂️

We subsidise the booze that politicians drink in their workplace. How the fuck do they get away with that?

@bccamplight Macclesfield!! Despite its rich musical heritage…don’t even get joy division covers bands coming here…

What is a UK city/town that bands overlook on tour? Forgotten towns etc.

@ManMadeMoon Absolutely @SELFESTEEM___ , @FrancisLung and @BRyderJones. I say absolutely, I mean probably. But I like them.

'Sweet Dreams' by Eurythmics was released closer to the end of the Second World War than to today.

So here we go. I'm signing off 1997's year of 25th anniversary posts with the Melody Makers top 50 albums of the year. If you only read one top 50 album chart this year then make it this one. I've got 21 of them, how many did you buy? Do you agree with the Maker's ranking?

@SELFESTEEM___ KFC. Almost instant regret.

What’s everyone eating today

It’s not a goal nor is it forgotten but I thought this was one of the greatest bits of skill I’d ever seen when I first saw it. RIP Pele
