Melanie Jones is/was the name of 'Mel', if that helps.
Yorkshire folk!

The daughter of a friend's friend is making a film about the bands that played at Minsthorpe High School in the late 80s/early 90s – the likes of the Weddoes, Cud, House of Love etc.

They're trying to track down the teachers who put the bands on – Mel and Trev. Anyone know them?

What’s an obscure/less talked about comics run that you find is a marker of exquisite taste and instant friendship in someone else who likes it?

Remember how Barça used to be really holier than thou about sponsors and then nobly let Unicef appear on their hallowed jerseys?

Well, now not only are they sponsored by Spotify (!) but training shirts now sport the name of the "Democratic" Republic of Congo.

Principles, yeh?

Despite criticism, the Congolese government says the deal with raise the profile of the country.

I reviewed this for Rage magazine under a pseudonym as I was also asked to review The Inspiral Carpets at Alexandra Palace for Melody Maker but told them I was busy. (And now it can be told).

I made these this summer and was kind of shy about it, but here: Pokemon anti-ICE signs. Feel free to use them for whatever you want.

Entertaining bird mooch earlier. As well as the usual suspects, had close encounters with a firecrest, a tree creeper and long-tailed tits. A pair of gadwall was a lifer and redwings are EVERYWHERE.
Back home, we've been having regular visits from up to five greenfinch, which is encouraging.

So a CBS Evening News reporter actually did a pretty solid breakdown of the ICE murder video, talking to a former agent who details all the ways Ross messed up. And yet: It didn’t air on the actual show tonight. CBS did post it to YouTube—and it has nearly 800k views already youtu.be/6ywLEESFDu0?...

I do enjoy a good contemporary background spot when watching vintage TV. Tonight's episode of Paul Temple showed a German cinema showing Andy Warhol's Trash.

If there was a child porn factory down the road, it’d be closed immediately.

The Govt’s response wouldn’t be “hang on, they let us print flyers there too”.

Celebrating the Miffy/Steed crossover on the occasion of The Avengers 61st birthday.
Just bought a Dutch Avengers paperback to add to the collection I've been carefully tending to since 1982. Not here yet, but spotted something brilliant from the listing photos.
The cover was designed by Dick Bruna. THAT Dick Bruna. #miffy4life #miffy
