Older but not necessarily wiser.
Phil Thompson nearly ran me over and Sammy Lee told me I look like Eric Clapton. Not sure which was worse.
Once complimented on my beard by Jeremy Corbyn.
Would put cauliflower and Mick Hucknall into Room 101.

Going to have a crack at doing the 'a new album every day' thing, BUT, for practical reasons, not necessarily 1 each day - but by the end of the year there WILL be 365 on the list.

Whenever someone in power blames immigrants on the difficulties facing working people, working class communities and those struggling to make ends meet in disadvantaged areas, remember two words: 'managed decline'.

Other than the obvious thoughts of remembrance, I always think on 11/11 of the time my old boss in my record shop days got carried away with his 11s, and we confused a shop full of customers by holding a silence at 11:11.

There's always endless celebration of 'classic' albums, but why do we never sing the praises of albums that are just... good?

‘Classic’ albums and good albums are not always necessarily exactly the same thing as each other…

If I ever go on the run I think I'm just going to hide in the asda.
Left Mrs N wheeling the trolley and went down the drinks aisle, and it took me 10 minutes to find her again.

A performance to be proud of this morning from my U15s.
Away to the team at top of the league. A very physical side, on an awful pitch. Game got a bit tasty at times but all kept their heads and kept playing.
2-0 win.
Up to second, three points behind, two games in hand.

Ah, so we're having one of those nights where the crowd at the darts boos Humphries as he's being introduced, and then by the time he gets to the stage they're all going bananas singing along to his walk on.

The 14 y/o has gone the match with just his mates for the first time. I'm not needed anymore apparently (other than to pay for his ticket, obvs).
Simultaneously proud and gutted.

London's latest Blue Plaque is a brilliant one. (It was put up at the Tesla dealership in Tottenham by campaigners)

So far this morning, Vinted has shown me a flag that says 'stop the boats' and a Rod Liddle book.
I've no idea what I clicked on to make the algorithm think I'd want those, but I'd like to go back in time and unclick it please.

TOP TIP. Avoid being accused of racism by not being racist or by not saying anything racist or writing anything racist.

There's a special place in hell that's reserved solely for the dickheads who think it's funny/clever/edgy to post "who?" "never heard of them" etc in the comments when music mags and sites post obituaries of musicians who have just died.

The replies to this are absolutely glorious.
What’s the stupidest thing you’ve ever done? I don’t mean “cheating on your partner” stupid, I mean stupid stupid. Like, once, I had this bubble bath which smelled absolutely delicious, so I took a big glug of it. That kind of stupid. (It did not taste delicious.)

Currently 95 minutes into a chat with the 'Amazon assistant' about the app being shite.
On the 6th advisor now as we get cut off every time a different one tells me to try uninstalling and reinstalling the app.
Know it's a real person, at least, as the last one got my name wrong.

Didn't fetch the washing in earlier and now it sounds verrrrry windy outside.
Good chance that one of the neighbours will wake up in the morning to find that they now have a Toto tshirt.

Given the party's refusal to act on Pochin's brazen racism, it should be as socially unacceptable to vote for Reform as it was in the early 2000s to vote for the BNP.
And we should be prepared to say this to people's faces.
