And yes… it sold all kinds of everything.

Salts Mills, Saltaire, Bradford (Watercolour and Pencil) by Bradford artist, Stuart Hirst b.(1950)

Upstairs tonight at @shipleytriangle from 8pm, play artists and tunes featuring a single letter or letters… S-Express, KLF, MC5, ABC, U2, ELO, U Got The Look, C Moon, D.I.S.C.O…. U get the I…dea.

My advice, for what it’s worth: try not to be distracted by the faintly discourteous, the mildly incompetent, the harmlessly obnoxious. Roll with the delayed trains, dropped litter and misused apostrophes. Save your powder for the truly malevolent creatures now stalking the land.

I've been asked what my favourite commentary is on the budget and it's unquestionably this exchange.

To brighten up budget day, I am giving a set of these Fabulous Mr Benn badges away. To be in the bowler hat, all you have to do is retweet this tweet. I'll choose a winner this time next week. Good Luck!!

@PeteSelby1 @nineeightbooks Sorry to read this, Pete. Nine Eight Books certainly made its mark on my bookshelf, some truly remarkable titles. Looking forward to seeing what you do next. Good luck!

I have some sad news about @nineeightbooks

@rocking_bob Smashing stuff.

Nick Heyward at City Varieties last night was absolutely joyous. There are a o many great songs on his solo albums. And we get Haircut 100 back next year. Treats!

Roy Cropper enjoying himself in the Leicester away end at Southampton today😂👏

They really were getting on my nerves that day

What a treat to see (and meet!) @msmirandasawyer at the @ilkleylitfest last night. Loads of pop chat, ‘80s & ‘90s memories and shared love of Smash Hits and Select. Book looks blummin’ ace...

I know people are leaving Twitter, but the algorithms also seem to be mysteriously (or not so mysteriously) working against some of us. I know that some followers of mine have somehow automatically unfollowed me (without them doing that), and that my posts are hidden or buried. I like sharing science, archaeology and a bit of humanism here. I still enjoy the conversation. So if you can help me find my old followers again by RTing, I will follow you back.

This tickled me

Last one of the year👇👇👇👇

@KeithWildman Fondly remember the A-board outside there years ago “Wanted - customers”

As iconic as the clock tower. #shipley

When you're Roger Moore's stunt double in the morning and filming Carry On Again Doctor in the afternoon

R.I.P. Maggie Smith. Seen here on the Parkinson show with Kenneth Williams, reading one of John Betjeman's poems (Death In Leamington) to Betjeman himself.

“I think he’s talking to you…”

Sensi remains the greatest football game of all time, and one of the all time great video games.

@flashcassette @JumboRecords Definitely give …Zillionaire a listen. Synths are incredible, Keith Le Blanc on beatbox / drums. Amazing record. You’ll love it.

@robfprior @JumboRecords Shockingly I've never listened to much else from ABC's back catalogue. May well have to rectify that.

Now then, this could be tricky...Come on girls and boys, be honest now
