I first listened to this as a curious teenager, in the 2000’s, not realising it was already well over 30 years old at that time. It’s 2025 & I’m 38 now. I still listen to this album all the way through till the end @theclash.com #TheOnlyBandThatMatters #TheClash #PunkSky

Last week, I posted the most popular five, but I thought I'd also share some of my personal favourite interviews from 2026
First up, @shafikmeghji.bsky.social on the British founders of football in Arg, Uru, and Chile

Hey guys, I don’t know about you guys but today I had an email at my work place saying that Will Vaulks will be doing a talk at our department next year, mid-late January, as part of the Can We Talk campaign. Absolutely buzzing. Mondays aren’t just blue anymore… they’re yellow & blue ⚽️🐂💛💙 #OUFC

Remembering Those We Lost in 2025 | Oxford United Football Club
Oxford United will take a moment to honour the former players, supporters, and staff who sadly passed away in 2025 when we face Swansea City on Monday 29 December. The pre-match period of remembrance has become a deeply emotional and significant moment for everyone connected with the Club. Once again this year, we will include the names submitted to us in both the match programme and on the big screen ahead of kick-off and at half-time.

The government is looking for traditions that define communities for recognition as UK living heritage.
What local traditions would you submit? (also, has someone told the Oxford Civic Society/ Oxford Preservation Trust?)
May Morning would make it on the list, surely? oxfordclarion.uk/may-morning/

To be quite honest I’m glad… my account got suspended for “apparently” breaking its rules / guidelines on behaviours even though they wouldn’t, or couldn’t, tell me specifically the hows & whys !! And I had to wait a month just to get a proper reply. I’ve now requested deactivation.

I’m pretty sure my fellow #OUFC fans can come up with a better photo than this !! Hardly a charming representation 😳🥴🤦♂️🤣. The quote is spot on though
