88 hrs of hits from 1970 up until about 1999. Novelty songs, strange one-offs, instrumentals, football songs, military bands, TV themes, Christmas songs, collaborations. If it's not there chances are it's not on Spotify. No Jonathan King or Rolf Harris 😬 #totp

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.
That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.

I see there's a new Rowan Atkinson film out. I am happy to recall a video a friend sent the other week when she spotted him outside her college dorm driving an extremely vintage steam car. And saddened when I remember that many Americans seem to think Mr Bean is a real person and call him 'Mr Bean'.

Can't believe this is 20 years old. Staggering piece of work.

I made a “how do you do, fellow kids?” joke to someone in their mid 20s who, it turns out, was too young to have heard of that meme.
So “how do you do, fellow kids?” is now an example of “how do you do, fellow kids?”
