20 YEARS AGO TODAY: Final Score had been using The Fall's Theme From Sparta FC as its theme for this season, so someone had the brainwave of getting Mark E Smith to read the classified results on the red button service part of the programme.
Mark E Smith reads the football results
Excellent viewing, especially if you're a Fall fan who supports a lower league English team and want a unique ringtone...

My personal “Don’t give to the Salvation Army” story:
When I was homeless in 2019, the Salvation Army shelter refused to give me a bed (even though they were available), because I was on immunosuppressant meds and they didn’t want to be responsible or liable if I got more sick or died on premises. They’d rather I die on the street.
It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.
Broadview’s “free speech” curfew starts soon, at 6pm.

Yeah, ha ha, "no longer living but still in a box", very good, but I'm actually really sad about this. I bought both their albums, they made some really great pop songs and he had a fantastic voice. And 65 is absolutely no age. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

We've lost Gilson Lavis. The engine behind my favourite band for so many years. Could take anything that Difford and Tilbrook threw at him and knew just what to do to make it work. He was there right from "Packet of Three" to "Play". He could rattle those toms like nobody else. Oh, what a loss.

Hi, I'm Ravishing Rick Rude, and I'm here to tell you to turn this off, you fuckers
If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.
