100% about Moby. Crass were one of the earliest bands I saw live with my mates (in 1980 when I was 13)
Life changing

Absolutely
It took me a long time to go vegan, but it was a great decision and I’ll never go back.
Great to see bands I grew up listening to who were serious about it then too. As you say it’s a great hardcore documentary in its own right. 👍🏼

Love the Number 1 Ladies Detective Agency ❤️

Can’t believe it’s 45 years old!
Great album

Not quite this bottling, but some interesting info on Muirhead’s here singlemalt.com.au/single-malt/...
Side note. I was affected by the MHLV buyout of Glenmorangie so still haven’t forgiven them. I mean I only owned one share, but that’s not the point. My parents bought me it for my Birthday 😡

Muirheads Silver Seal 1993

Muirheads Silver Seal 1993 is a very enjoyable whisky with many layers and some interesting characteristics developed from the additional ageing.

Brilliant set.
Enjoyed @skeletal-family.bsky.social too.
Thanks to all involved 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Perfect. Thank you 🙏

Chris Blacksell @chrisblacksell.bsky.social · 8d

Anyone know what time @skeletal-family.bsky.social and @kirkbrandon.bsky.social with Theatre of Hate are coming on at @nathbrudenell.bsky.social in Leeds tonight?
Cheers

Agreed. I was concerned when he was taken off mostly because we’d lose his defensive headers from their corners.
Not a great advert for the Championship but brilliant nevertheless and so good to finish with a clean sheet 🧡🖤

Chris Blacksell @chrisblacksell.bsky.social · 9d

No thank you

Chris Blacksell @chrisblacksell.bsky.social · 9d

😂

Chris Blacksell @chrisblacksell.bsky.social · 9d

Not sure tbh.
Depends on circumstances I suppose

Played golf today and hit some good shots, for me
And that’s as much as I can hope for. The shots which could have possibly moved up a category to ‘very good…for me’ tended to be followed by me muttering ‘phew…I think I got away with that’ 😂

Momentum is certainly a huge thing in sports.
I suppose the US had nothing to loose so could relax.
It’s a great event regardless

My daughter always buys me a book at Christmas, that she thinks I’ll like but might not have heard of.
This year she bought me Leonard and Hungry Paul.
Absolutely loved it.
Just hope the adaptation is half as good as the book

Cracking Ryder Cup.
Some amazing golf.
Perhaps if the Americans had been paid just a little bit more money they might have nicked it…😉😎
Seriously though, the US comeback today was unbelievable, but Europe had done enough the first two days.

Just busily planning my trip there and spotted this…and smiled a lot!

Chris Blacksell @chrisblacksell.bsky.social · 18d

Well said that man 👏🏼
Thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Great story, great actors and some lovely comedy timing.

Science, and investment in science, and respecting scientists, and trusting well peer reviewed scientific research really is remarkably important isn’t it.

It leads to breakthroughs like this.

What was once an umbrella was transformed into…a big waterproof hat 👍🏼

Another brilliant night at Hull Truck watching Pride and Prejudice.
A classic, very humorously done and with great background music too.
