    Last Film You Watched

    Between them Arrow and 88Films just want all my money. Enjoy possessed Patrick Stewart being all sexy and screamy.

    F1 2025 (and other motorsports)

    Judging by the way they go through 2nd drivers the Red Bull is clearly fast but seemingly requires ridiculous levels of skill, concentration and nerve even by F1 driver standards to get a tune out of. Plenty don't like how he comes across but in terms of racing ability he's in a field of one...

    Last Film You Watched

    Watched Donnie Darko last night for the first time in years - possibly since it originally came out on DVD. Still holds up.

    Most unusual samples for well known records

    2:10 the sampled part plays. Notable for the fact that Chas & Dave played on this record though Chas Hodges was on guitar rather than the piano he became more famous for.

    Kneecap

    The BBC took the step of not broadcasting live because of the trouble they would be in if a member of Kneecap made an inflammatory comment or potentially criminal statement. The broadcaster is liable for what they choose to broadcast so from a risk perspective it's understandable they opted for...

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY @ClausThompsen....

    Thank you all. Had a few last night with family round watching Glastonbury so there's been no drinking on my birthday itself and there's been no cake either. However I did get several much wanted presents (Thankyou Amazon Wishlist) and was left alone for a few hours in an empty house while Mrs...

    Kneecap

    There has been no attempt to censor or restrict the actual performances though has there? The BBC made risk based decisions on what to broadcast live with one eye on the rules that govern them. But they did nothing, and indeed have no power, to censor or restrict the actual performance in and of...

    Kneecap

    Watched a bit of Kneecaps set on iPlayer including the speech which quite correctly shows support for the people of Palestine. But all this nonsense about being banned (they aren't) and the BBC editors trying to hide Palestinian flags (they clearly never were going to) is exactly the same kind...

    Glastonbury 2025

    They were the one we were all looking forward to round ours so it was a big disappointment - especially as every other stream was working. Enjoyed what I saw of Neil Young but was checking the Scissor Sisters feed every couple of minutes.

    5 things to fix the British economy

    I think having a level of UBI which covers the income required for parents to pack in work might cause a few problems in the economy. And switching the entire nation to a shut-in internet only basis of learning isn't great for learning responsible social conduct.

    5 things to fix the British economy

    I'm curious. How does having a huge swathe of under educated children with little grasp of the absolute basics help the economy?

    Glastonbury 2025

    The BBC always wanted to broadcast Young's set - it was him who had the problem. As you pointed out, every act has the choice to withhold their performance being broadcast. You've accused acts of having a careerist scab attitude for allowing the BBC to broadcast their performance. Until of...

    Glastonbury 2025

    Neil Young's set will now be broadcast live. Kneecap have agreed to allow BBC to stream their set afterwards on iPlayer. Are they also now careerist scabs climbing down from their edgy performative anti-BBC stance?
