It’s all about the music, still down the front at gigs if my knees are having a good day.

It’s Dave Mackay’s birthday. You remember him.

Here he is telling Billy Bremner to take a wee bit more care and attention with his tackles, whilst a beautifully bronzed Terry Venables looks on.

We lost one of the people off the coach so we had to leave them behind. We waited an hour, and informed the police. Hope you are feeling better.

If you're traveling by train, buy some fucking headphones. I don't want to listen to your shitty music, hear a crappy American comedy, or listen to a conversation with your significant other who's a bigger twat than you.

What you’re witnessing is a populist assault on the BBC.

This is not an institutional scandal in any meaningful sense of the word. It is an attack on public service broadcasting.

Farewell to the great Gilson Lavis, drummer for Squeeze (and so much more). Here's a fine example of exactly what he did:

As a lawyer I'm seeing a lot more redundancies in 2025. I can't stress this enough, if you are being made redundant - GET A FUCKING LAWYER. I keep hearing of people getting unfair consultations and being ripped off in their redundancy packages. We would have spotted them for you.

#TicketStubWed unusual one. Wife & son went on Absolute Radio with Christian O’connel & sang part of a Kaiser Chiefs song to win tickets to “big band in a small venue” that’s us catching him diving off the bar.

Excellent 11 O Clock Show gag. Sometimes it was spot on.

It's getting darker. Traffic is heavy. Commuting is tedious. But if you sit in a stationary queue with your foot jammed on the brake pedal you are blinding the people behind with your ridiculously bright lights. Stop it.

The famous guitar riff for Guns N' Roses' "Sweet Child o' Mine" originated from a "circus melody" warm-up played by guitarist Slash during a 1986 jam session.
While Slash played the riff in a joking manner, bandmate Izzy Stradlin recognized its potential, and the band built the song around it.
