The third mix will be the worst. Go back to the first one.
Have to feel a bit for the graphics team at Sky F1. Having to re-edit the opening titles AGAIN. (Wonderjng if they shot footage of Yuki in a RBR suit just in case? If not you just use generative AI to do it I guess)

Right then... who can tell me whether this single was ever actually released? Discogs and eBay have always produced nothing. I strongly suspect this group never had anything released and strings were pulled or favours begged to get this one screened on The Chart Show.

I know Camilla's cancelled a couple of engagements this week, but I think it's wrong of Heathrow to start this sort of rumourmongering

This is the kind of thing we want from Bluesky.
Towards the end of Hans Rosling’s book Factfulness he uses “guitars per capita” as a proxy for human progress—nice! That means the data’s out there somewhere to track down a number for guitars per capita in the UK…

But overall I try to avoid the use of most animals on set other than dogs who, again, at least on my sets, love performing for treats & pets & praise & interacting with the cast & crew. PS I love cats, but their innate independence makes them hilariously shitty actors.

Great to see @uksnowmap.com has moved over to Bluesky. From your BlueSky posts it populates the #UKSnow map.
Just post the hashtag #UKSnow followed by the first part of your postcode and rate the snowfall out of 10 eg. 3/10
👏👏👏 thanks @benmarsh.com

I see Robert Kennedy's campaign to make America healthy again by ridding it of the poison of fast food is off to a good start...
Also, how cold must that food be and why do they have cutlery on their trays?
