RIP Steve Cropper.
Here he is being effortlessly cool with the rest of Booker T. & the M.G.’s back in 1967.

I did a project on Tom Stoppard back in school. I know that he was able to utilise brilliant philosophical flourishes in his work, but I love that in The Real Inspector Hound the protagonist critics are watching a risible sub-Christie drawing-room murder-mystery including these ridiculous lines…

I am slowly wading through TFTM from the beginning and am really enjoying the Melchester Odyssey in particular.

The reaction to the Panorama edit has been nothing short of hysterical. Yes the BBC has some impartiality problems. But its biggest isn't the one you think.
New piece from me.

I think I can see why West Ham are having so much trouble this season. Playing Arsenal and Manchester Utd away *at the same time* is a stretch too far.

I see Primark are using The Slits’ version of Heard It Through The Grapevine in their new advert.
I wonder how far Shoplifting got in the selection shortlist?

I saw this blue plaque in Whitefriargate today. I had not noticed it before, and was briefly taken aback until the joke dawned on me.
When I got back to my office I found this HDM piece from June 24. Is it possible that nobody at the paper had a similar period of reflection?

How much stuff have you got? What will happen to it when you die? A morbid thought but one I often think about. I have even written #poetry about it. Rather that than actually get rid of any of it.
35. Stuff
