Beautiful day for a last-day-of-the-season commute to North London. Have been a bit quiet on the Stat-Ro @fantasywsl.net front due to life but a few picks to follow!

Not to start a witch hunt, but this gas-swelled 2-week old (at least) Lorne sausage in the work fridge now almost definitely constitutes a bio hazard ☢️

Treated Dad to one of his favourite album’s on vinyl for his 60th (Talk Talk’s The Colour of Spring). He’s so thrilled Guy Garvey is playing its successor in full today, he’s even planning on setting up a fancy new birthday speaker to tune in

Really loved this Bridge Theatre Richard II. A play I did not know from Adam (well, Richard), and yet so cleverly done. Loved the Succession-inspired plinky piano music, and Jonathan Bailey rinsing every camp drop of indecision and insanity out of the titular character

Interesting media thing I noticed this week: Raya (the ‘exclusive’ dating app that requires someone get approved before joining) is now significantly cheaper than Hinge’s premium tiers. Raya is £19.99 per month with Hinge + £19.99 a WEEK

Last year I was lucky enough to watch the Traitors Uncloaked Finale, and it was the highlight of my career getting to be in the same room as Harry, Mollie and Claudia’s fringe. Sadly laid up with flu this year, but the same MASSIVE thank yous to the cast and crew for another rip roaring series!
