Morning all. I calculate that this #Lidl scratch card “prize” is worth 4p.

I’ve never seen one of these in the UK before.

Google search says it’s Pyrrhocoris apterus (Firebug)

21 years since I saw Hope of the States for the second and last time (in Camden). I do envy those of you seeing them tonight in Manchester

Every time I think about culling some of my record collection this one always escapes the sale box… Just look at that label ♥️♥️♥️ #Stax #Vinyl #Atlantic

This was inside, looks like a wild evening 😀 The only Google reference to the LP is about a piece by Michael Hurd that had its first recording on this LP. (Track listing in alt-text)

I have *never* seen one of these before in 80,000 boot sales or Charity Shop visits.

One of my favourite #Soul compilations and yet I have never heard a single one of these bangers on any radio. Their loss.

It’s from 1969 and was released on many different labels with alternative cover art, none as good as this Japanese one by Takayuki Okabe. Tracklisting in alt-text.

This was part of a leaflet promoting a local care agency.
Did Russell Brand write this ?

“…we will do our utmost in furtherance of your overall vision and missions.”

I’ve no doubt the hard-working Nurses of Southend will see the hundreds of jobs about to be cut from their already understaffed Hospital as an example of how highly you value their service.

An OG sealed punk LP for £15 sounds great but there’s 20% VAT, buyers fees and *£20* postage. International record buying on eBay is dead.

Thought I’d lost this photo of Gillian Gilbert of New Order playing at Rock City, Nottingham on April 8th 1981.

I can read A4 documents in 14point on this phone without zooming in but the BBC News App engineers can only squeeze *one* headline and 1.5 accompanying images in the same space ?

BBC News: “M&S boss says retailers ‘raided like a piggy bank'

Hmmm, looks like the raid came from within mate….
