Whole bunch of strange people sitting on the floor in 'my' record shop at lunchtime. Some sort of clever art installation where people play a record and then say why they like it and how it makes them feel. Clearly this sort of event is popular with trawlermen. I'm not against art experiences, but this one included a video camera and kit bags blocking my access to the reggae & soul vinyl section. So on balance, I'd like them to lose their grant next year.

my brother found some bits of pottery that resulted in the map of where the romans got to and when being redrawn that's my claim to fame, top it if you can

I was obsessed with loose n live drums at the time - so this set in a pub the size of, er, a small pub, just blew me away. I knew it was on youtube somewhere....

actually better than the Ramones too Been lucky enough to see these folks in two of my absolute fave venues, Clwb in Cardiff and The Windmill in Brixton.

Shonen Knife 2016 UK tour is April - May it'll have to be Bristol for me

tsk, I so wanted Mossad persuading Saudi to get ISIS to bomb a Russian plane to have legs.

As a personal indulgence, I played this, plus a little Kraftwerk, plus the new New Order, driving slowly around central London in the early hours a couple of nights ago (when it was weirdly warm). A happy time.

it's corny but it's true, almost every club is for sale - they just might not know it, they might be expensive, but they are for sale I've had a dabble in helping out at a small footy club. I've seen the books over the course of a few years. Unless you have a licensed bar and / or a lottery license, you'll be losing money. But it should be said, when things are going well, when you win 'that' game on a drizzly Tuesday night, it's **** brilliant.

If the team is at a very low level, does it have any supporters beyond players girlfriends? If it has a modest fan base, even just a few dozen, find out if you like them and they like you. If it doesn't click off the pitch it will be a bit of an uphill struggle. Oh, and as for a small amount of outlay. Be prepared to constantly shell out for £25 fines for offences you didn't even know existed.

Apparently the Saudi's singled out Corbyn as a particular threat and irritant. Nasty piece of work that Corbyn, a threat to families everywhere. Especially those families that like beheadings, lashings and stonings by the look of it.

I don't think the government (via HMRC) are at liberty to reclassify them again and make them exempt. They are at liberty to raise it with the EU, (which was what the vote was attempting) hell, they could even make it one of the items we want to discuss as our 're-negotiation', but they've decided it would be too difficult. If they think persuading the EU that sanitary products are not a luxury would be too difficult to even bother trying, best of luck with the rest of the negotiations!

in other news today, the tampon tax is to stay as we all know, sanitary towels are a luxury

My theory, for what it's worth, is that there is little Randy can do. I believe he took us on with good intentions. However, he clearly isn't a sports club owner. His time with the Browns was lacklustre, his time here could at best be described as lacklustre if you were being generous. He hasn't had the luck or the wit or the balls or whatever it is that makes the difference. He's tried to spend £10 million where £15 million would buy off a problem. He's delayed decisions - then seemingly made a random or rushed decision. We could have had worse owners. We could have all made a chicken advert and then disappeared into the Championship years ago. He could have sold us to some chancer, wiped his hands and walked away. He's stuck now. The economy changed, football's elite changed, even the spending rules changed. He's spent a lot of money and the market in football clubs has fallen away. The Chinese are buying everything possible in the UK, everything from power stations to blocks of flats to broken kettles for the scrap metal. But not even the Chinese will currently spend £150 million on a sports franchise that will then need another £50 million just to stand still. For a multi multi millionaire, he ain't half unlucky.

It's just a theory for the chattering liberals and militant minorities to cling to, bro.

I was looking forward to this season being a roller coaster ride of great wins and awful defeats. Unfortunately, it was just a bad day at Alton Towers, week after week after week.

bad news my man, you are still in a deep sleep when you do wake up Sherwood is still manager, you're late for work and you've pissed the bed you're welcome.

If they selected the team and tactics by allowing the mugs on KRO to select them, they'd accidentally win more games than Tim. Bye bye.

Used to go to a pub in town called The Dog House, it was the starter end of the crawl through town to the late clubs at the other end. Anyway, we'd listen to whatever other people were willing to pay 10p for. The box played the records in button order, A's before B's regardless of who selected a song when (so you could queue jump if you had a working knowledge of the alphabet and numbers). But just before we'd leave, as a little tradition, we'd pile our loose change in and punch, A1 A1 A1 A1 A1 A1 was Soft Cell, Tainted Love, 5 times in a row, enjoy!
