I'm going to say it. People laughed when we hired Ange. Look how that turned out. Also, keep rocking those green Adidas. #CelticFC

Listening to Depeche Mode "Momento Mori: Mexico City" There is something about Martin L. Gore's vocal timbre. Just sublime. I always found his signing very comforting.

I guess McLaren don't want either of their drivers to win the WDC, you know to be fair.

Let's ask the driver who is well in contention for the WDC if he will play second fiddle.

What a ludicrous question.

PlanetF1 @planetf1com.bsky.social · 17d

Oscar Piastri was asked if he will play second fiddle to Lando Norris this weekend, but don't bet on that happening.

Reading Peter Ames Carlin's "The Name Of This Band Is R.E.M." and revisiting their catalogue.

So many great songs, that maybe, I sadly, did not really appreciate at the time.

Warren Zevon, Peter Buck, Mike Mills and Bill Berry did a thing (while working on what would become Zevon's Sentimental Hygiene), recorded a set of covers - Took a few years but the songs would eventually be released as an album.

Ok, I just put it together that Baxter Dury is Ian Dury's son.....
