Football trivia. Tonight's match between Port Vale and Arsenal is the first domestic English game for more than 25 years where neither side is named after a place.

I was there. Here's one of my own photos.

As reported in the Daily mail at the time

This photo has started showing up on social media as if it's related to events of the past few days. It isn't. It's from the Vale of Evesham Asparagus Festival 11 years ago. The asparagus season traditionally starts on St George's day, hence the flag.

Apostrophe fans of the world. What are your thoughts on this?

Mildly amusing football fact. With the absence of East Anglian representation in the Premier League this year, the most easterly Premier League club is the slightly misleadingly (in this context) named West Ham.

I'm not entirely sure that this says what they think it means.

Llama 3, can you give me an example of the Streisand effect?

Nice nod to early noughties ambient dance in the football section of the Graun today

Saw this advert on a website I just visited. My first thought was, I must have forgotten to turn personalised advertising off.

We're well into December now, so you're already hearing these on the retail and hospitality playlists. That means it's time to play Christmas Song Bingo.

Sounds like a character created by Scott Adams.

I'm not entirely sure if this is up @apiln.bsky.social's street, but it's still a gorgeous mismatch of headline and photo.

A while ago, I added the fact that I'm a a councillor to my LinkedIn profile. Ever since, I've been getting emails like this. Maybe someone should point out the fundamental flaw in this algorithm.

Slightly disappointed to discover that this doesn't contain haggis, neeps, tatties and the lyrics to "Auld Lang Syne".

And I need to be loved.
(Just like everybody else does).
