yeah, the Nike England flag business is it. the end. the thing that's fully tipped me over the edge. a perfect example of how much potential we've squandered here and how much time we've all wasted. bye.

Every time a new Game of Thrones thing comes out, I remember that time we had to watch a live stream of a block of ice melting — not for 5 mins but for a painful hour. A real “you had to be there” moment. Its why this industry is hard to parody, the self parody is already there

@fireh9lly shit, it scans almost exactly doesn't it

The melody of the hook of Buddy Holly is annoyingly similar to the melody of the hook of Summer Holiday

apropos of nothing (well not entirely nothing but): MMLP SSLP Eminem Show (big gap) Relapse MMLP2 MTBMB-Side B Recovery MTBMB-Side A Kamikaze Encore Revival

@janhopi should say it's a shame Phillips' shoulder is busted* really

@janhopi that's fair - such a shame Milner and Phillips (or even Gareth Barry tbh!) aren't part of the England set-up anymore cos they'd be perfect as a bit of a foil for Rice & Bellingham imo. Foden & Saka either side of Kane and it's pretty dangerous imo.

Football people have such goldfish brains it's amazing. Max on Football Weekly has decided that Declan Rice isn't defensive enough - he needs Jorginho you see - so England need another defensive midfielder. And nobody told him he was off his nut.

@janhopi tbf i do think England would do better with someone sat beside Rice cos you want his box-to-box qualities don't you, and with Bellingham also there you're gonna need a runner/jobber to stitch it together

Who's going to shield the defence with only Declan Rice there? He's some sort of striker right?

@gillesofftheweb not before, no! always on the hunt for music books though so thank you :)

grew up about a mile from Strawberry Studios so i reckon i'm sorted for class hometown songs

@fireh9lly (also i know it's on Side A but Godzilla probably the most capital-F Fun i've had with an Em single since Without Me (!!!) so make of that what you will)

@fireh9lly haven't listened to it as much as you clearly (!) but i remember re-doing all of Em's albums basically in one sitting about 12 months ago. got through the swamp of Revival and Kamikaze, reached MTBMB - for the first time - and thought "ooh this is a bit better isn't it".

Reviews said the misogyny on Music To Be Murdered By Side B was predictable uxoricide shtick, fans say "it's a rly deep metaphor for hip-hop", but in fact the analogy is so strained it splits, so it's about Shady killing his ex because he's mad Yo! MTV Raps isn't on TV any more

@janhopi true! couldn't tell if OP was after film or TV adaptations tho

@roboliverwords don't know if it is great or even the last one. but Fleabag was a play.

@aboynamedposh he's playing all the right songs, etc.

Rivers you dipshit

@huwareyou @NoahPasternak often wonder what world we'd be living in now if he'd been able to carry on, if True Love Ways had been the start of a new era instead of coming right before the end.

@NoahPasternak So much pop from 1959 until the Beatles was made in the shadow of Buddy; UK rock performers were stuck emulating the very last thing he did on "It Doesn't Matter Anymore" - rockabilly with chirpy staccato orchestra. It's like the great instructor had died. youtube.com/watch?v=b3YUrM…

The thing about Buddy Holly is that he was half a decade ahead of his time and it was one massive half a decade

@pickyouredge only pain

.@MCFCfoodbank spokesperson: "Every year Pep says, 'We need our people', but his mates make it harder for our people to be there. Our core support, who have been following our local club for years and years through it all, has had repeated price increases for over a decade..."

even if you're a seriously committed TERF how much self-awareness do you have to lack to get yourself in such a position. surely at some point you've got to take a step back and realise you're a 60 y/o man getting all flustered and upset at the sight of a 17 y/o kid.

yeah SEO headlines have to be short etc. but saying a teacher was sacked for 'refusing to use pronouns' is a woefully disingenuous misrepresentation of what's actually happened here.
