Just in case anyone might be interested in reading it, or demanding that others read it. Either would be much appreciated.
Please and thank you.

It's a long time since I've seen a West Ham side so technically inept, so lacking in effort or motivation. Depressing.

Belated happy birthday, @davidstubbs.bsky.social! Hope it was a special one, surrounded by lots of adoring Chart Music fans... 🙂

It's a view that no-one will care about, but the amount of money spent on new players in the Premier League is sickeningly appalling. Distasteful in the extreme.

Gone off football.

@chartmusictotp.bsky.social I was recently on the excellent website, BoardGameGeek, looking for a game I once had called Sorry! Imagine my surprise when I discovered they'd made a spin-off game...

#33 in the Kit Bliss 100 Greatest Templates. Most familiar as being worn by France and Rangers. Simple re-colour for the #GAWA home with IFA logo shadow. For the away there's a more-modern-retro take on kit releases. Inspired by the lace-up collar we've gone St Patrick's blue with an old-style badge

Can't believe how long it's taken me to notice what a dumb, false smile Roger Moore had as 007. Not that I don't like him or anything...

Am watching The Professionals and am wondering who made more appearances - Nadim Sawalha or Pamela Stephenson...

Truly saddened to hear the awful news about Diogo Jota. 😢

I think I'm officially bored of YouTube videos that cut away every five seconds to a clip from a TV show / film to insert a short phrase. Overdone now?

Chuff all on TV tonight. Time to break open The Professionals DVD box set again. 1977 ahoy...

Musk taking the moral high ground, presumably restricting his arm from doing a Hitler salute in the manner of Dr Strangelove.

After the season West Ham have had, I'll take 14th in the league, and above Spurs and Man United at that.

@davidstubbs.bsky.social @chartmusictotp.bsky.social I went to a rugby match yesterday between NZ women and Canada women, and can confirm they played Rock and Roll Part 2 by G**y Gl***er just before the start. It's still out there...

@terryduffelen.com Congrats on the win today, Terry. A great result for Palace and neutrals everywhere!
