"James Bond" is just a code name. How can he be the world's greatest spy when everybody knows who he is? "I've been expecting you, Mr Bond" etc etc...
Each Bond is a different man. With the same name.

Just watched Farage talking about Trump and BBC and it makes me so miserable that his career has been so helped by an institution he is committed to destroy - I am bewildered

Everything on our news agenda is being driven by a corrupted disinformation machine, run by a billionaire who sponsors Tommy Robinson and who keeps trying to foment civil war in the UK.
And incredibly our MPs & news providers stay there.
THAT is the problem. Not some bad editing choice on the BBC.

23. Waterfalls - TLC
The '90s was a golden era for girl groups and, for my money, TLC were the pick of the bunch. They had the talent, the attitude, the looks and the message. CrazySexyCool indeed.
RIP Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes 🙏

Zohran's campaign was his determination to make New York a city everyone can afford to live in. Huge congratulations!
His success will resonate throughout the world. A story where no one is left behind.
It's time to write that story across England & Wales too.

26. Sycamore Leaves - A-ha
As the Norwegian pinups are my wife's all-time fave band, they had to make my top 30, and this surprisingly dark and bluesy song shows they had more to offer than glossy synth pop. ( Not that there's anything wrong with that 😀)

Reverse the polarity of the traffic flow 🟦
It occurs to me that if you REALLY wanted to terrorise Englandshire you could just sneak in there at 3am and reverse the direction of traffic flow. You'd need to repaint the arrows on the road and have replacement signs to hand, but what could possibly go wrong?

28. Epic - Faith No More
I was gutted when the Chuck Mosely FNM split up, but then I heard this, er, epic track on Radio 1 about a year later. It sounded like FNM, but with a drunk toddler singing? In fact it *was* FNM and they were back, baby! ( I even got used to the toddler lol ) 🤘

29. The Answer To Why I Hate You - Symposium
Like S*M*A*S*H yesterday, another of my favourite live bands from the '90s, Shepherd's Bush's answer to Blink 182 - Symposium.
Again, they never really achieved chart success, but every gig was a riotous pop-punk party. Dude.
